A judgment post-stratified (JPS) sample is used in order to develop statistical inference for population quantiles and variance. For the pth order of the population quantile, a test is constructed, an estimator is developed, and a distribution-free confidence interval is provided. An unbiased...

This paper considers sign test under ranked set sampling with unequal set sizes (RSSU), and proposes weighted sign tests associated with judgment ranks. The optimal weight vector is shown to be distribution-free, and RSSU is shown to be more efficient than ranked set sampling.
