Abstract: In this paper, we compare the estimators of the cumulative distribution function obtained by the refined descriptive (RD) sample and simple random (SR) sample, and show that the one obtained by RD sample is more efficient than that obtained by SR sample. For this purpose, we have compared the probability structure of RD sample and SR sample where the latter is generated using the principle of the RD sampling method. Simulation results of different distributions are given to validate the proposed theoretical comparison.
