Abstract
In statistical parameter estimation problems, how well the parameters are estimated largely depends on the sampling design used. In the current paper, a modification of ranked set sampling called moving extremes ranked set sampling (MERSS) is considered for the Fisher information matrix for the location-scale family. The Fisher information matrix for this model are respectively derived under simple random sampling and MERSS. In order to give more insight into the performance of MERSS with respect to simple random sampling, the Fisher information matrix for usual locationscale distributions are respectively computed under the two sampling. The numerical results show that MERSS provides more information than simple random sampling in parametric inference.
