Using the model we predict a set of conditions optimum for reducing dust concentrations at the mine working face.展开更多

This paper examines the impact of rounding errors on parameter estimation with multi-layer ranked set sampling. It shows that the rounding errors seriously distort the behavior of covariance matrix estimate, and lead to inconsistent estimation. Taking this into account, we present a new approach to implement the estimation for this model, and further establish the strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed estimators. Simulation experiments show that our estimates based on rounded multi-layer ranked set sampling are always more efficient than those based on rounded simple random sampling.展开更多
