Abstract
We consider a truncated Midzuno-Sen sampling scheme. The proposed method can be used to estimate the distribution function of a study variable assuming that the distribution function of an auxiliary variable is known. The ratio estimator for estimating the distribution function is shown to remain unbiased. We introduce the first- and second-order inclusion probabilities under the truncated Midzuno-Sen sampling scheme. Numerical examples are provided to support our theoretical results.
