The concept of ranked set sampling (RSS) is applicable whenever ranking on a set of sampling units can be done easily using a judgment method or based on an auxiliary variable. In this paper, we consider a study variable Y correlated with the auxiliary variable X and use it to rank the sampling units. Further (X,Y) is assumed to have Cambanis-type bivariate uniform (CTBU) distribution. We obtain an unbiased estimator of a scale parameter associated with the study variable Y based on different RSS schemes. We perform the efficiency comparison of the proposed estimators numerically. We present the trends in the efficiency performance of estimators under various RSS schemes with respect to parameters through line and surface plots. Further, we develop a Matlab function to simulate data from CTBU distribution and present the performance of proposed estimators through a simulation study. The results developed are implemented to real-life data also.
