Abstract: Klein, Wright, and Wieczorek (2020), hereafter KWW, constructs a simple novel measure of uncertainty for an estimated ranking using a joint confidence region for the true ranking of K populations. In this current paper, our proposed framework permits some control over the amount of uncertainty and tightness in various portions of the estimated ranking with an optimal allocation of sample among the K populations.
