A new sampling scheme is introduced in this paper which can be considered to be an extension of the stratified sub-sampling. Here, the population is first stratified, and probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling with replacement is used to select clusters within each stratum. From each selected cluster, units are selected with ranked set sampling (RSS) without replacement. An estimator is proposed under the sampling design and its efficiency is checked using simulated data and Census data of India, 2011.
