Abstract: Ranked set sampling (RSS) is a data collection method that allows us to direct attention
toward measurements of more representative sample units. This article deals with estimating
a time-dependent reliability measure under a generalization of the RSS. Some results
concerning optimal properties of the proposed estimator are presented. Monte Carlo
simulation is employed to assess performance of the estimator. A sport data set is finally
analyzed.
