Abstract: We study nonparametric estimation of the distribution function (DF) of a continuous random variable based on a ranked set sampling design using the exponentially tilted (ET) empirical likelihood method. We propose ET estimators of the DF and use them to construct new resampling algorithms for unbalanced ranked set samples. We explore the properties of the proposed algorithms. For a hypothesis testing problem about the underlying population mean, we show that the bootstrap tests based on the ET estimators of the DF are asymptotically normal and exhibit a small bias of order $O(n^{-1})$. We illustrate the methods and evaluate the finite sample performance of the algorithms under both perfect and imperfect ranking schemes using a real data set and several Monte Carlo simulation studies. We compare the performance of the test statistics based on the ET estimators with those based on the empirical likelihood estimators.
