RSS in Other Parameteric and Non-parametric Inference

In Chap. 19, the method of RSS for estimating the population mean of the distribution has been discussed. The theory of RSS has been extended in this chapter to estimate location and scale parameters of distributions, population proportion, and quantiles. The original concept (McIntyre 1952) of RSS is completely non-parametric in nature and assumed that the population distribution is not known beforehand, therefore, the concept of RSS to estimate location, scale, and quantiles of the distributions is helpful. The application of RSS has also been attempted for the non-parametric inference. Some non-parametric tests based on one sample and two samples are discussed.
