Abstract
In this paper, different goodness of fit tests for the Rayleigh distribution are considered based on simple random sampling (SRS) and ranked set sampling (RSS) techniques. The performance of the suggested estimators is evaluated in terms of the power of the tests by using Monte Carlo simulation. It is found that the suggested RSS tests perform better than their counterparts  in SRS.
