  <dc:title>Intelligent Ranked Set Sampling with 'Excel' Integration and SRS
Comparison</dc:title>
  <dc:title>R package KlerRSS version 0.2.4</dc:title>
  <dc:description>Provides tools for Ranked Set Sampling (RSS) analysis,
    data import, statistical estimation, and comparison with Simple
    Random Sampling (SRS). The package offers a complete workflow from
    'Excel' and CSV data import and cleaning to RSS implementation,
    efficiency evaluation, visualization, and automated reporting.
    Intelligent ranking procedures based on correlation analysis,
    regression models, and machine learning methods are included to
    address imperfect ranking commonly encountered in practical RSS
    applications. Monte Carlo simulation tools are provided for
    evaluating estimator performance under different sampling
    scenarios. Ranked Set Sampling was originally introduced by
    McIntyre (1952) &lt;doi:10.2307/3001960&gt; as an efficient alternative to simple
    random sampling when ranking information is available at low cost. The 
    package supports researchers, statisticians, and practitioners working 
    in agricultural, environmental, biological, and other applied sciences.</dc:description>
