ZAMANZADE, EHSAN  and  MAHDIZADEH, M.. Entropy Estimation From Ranked Set Samples With Application to Test of Fit. Rev.Colomb.Estad. [online]. 2017, vol.40, n.2, pp.223-241. ISSN 0120-1751.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rce.v40n2.58944.

This article deals with entropy estimation using ranked set sampling (RSS). Some estimators are developed based on the empirical distribution function and its nonparametric maximum likelihood competitor. The suggested entropy estimators have smaller root mean squared errors than the other entropy estimators in the literature. The proposed estimators are then used to construct goodness of fit tests for inverse Gaussian distribution.

Keywords : Judgment ranking; Goodness of fit test; Entropy estimation.
