Bayesian regression analysis using median rank set sampling

Bayesian estimation of the linear regression parameter system is considered by deploying Median Rank Set Sampling (MRSS). The full conditional distributions and the associated posterior distribution are obtained. Therefore, based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation, the Bayesian point estimates and credible intervals for the regression parameters are determined. To measure the efficiency of the obtained Bayesian estimates concerning the frequentist estimates we compute the asymptotic relative efficiency of the obtained Bayesian estimates using Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation. This study shows that the Bayesian estimation of the simple linear regression parameters under frequentist MRSS is highly beneficial and much superior to the RSS scheme.
