Abstract

Modified cut-off sampling is widely used for highly skewed data. A serious drawback of modified cut-off sampling is the difficulty of adjustment of non-response in take-all stratum. Therefore, solutions of the problems of non-response in take-all stratum have been studied in various ways such as substitute of samples, imputation or re-weight method. In this paper, a new cut-off point based on minimizing MSE being used in exponential and power functions is suggested and it can be reduced the number of take-all stratum. We also investigate another cut-off point determination method with underlying distributions such as truncated log-normal and truncated gamma distributions. Finally we suggest the optimal cut-off point which has a minimum of take-all stratum size among suggested methods. Simulation studies are performed and Labor Survey data and simulated data are used for the case study.

상당수의 사업체 조사는 절사표본설계법을 사용하고 있다. 이는 절사표본설계법에서 얻은 전수층이 많은 정보를 포함하고 있어 전체 표본크기를 최소화 할 수 있는 장점이 있기 때문이다. 그러나 최근 전수층에 포함된 사업체들의 무응답률이 높아감에 따라 전수층이 가지고 있는 장점에 한계가 나타나고 있다. 이에 Lee (2011), Shin과 Lee (2013)는 표본설계 단계에서부터 주어진 허용오차를 만족하면서 전수층 규모를 최소화하는 연구를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서는 주어진 허용오차를 만족하고 Hidiroglou (1986)가 제안한 방법으로 산출 된 표본크기를 고정한 상태에서 표본층 분산에 알려진 함수를 적합하여 전수층 크기를 최소화하는 새로운 최적 절사점을 제안하였다. 또한 Hidiroglou (1986)와 Shin과 Lee (2013)가 제안한 절단분포를 이용한 방법과 본 연구에서 제안한 방법을 모의실험과 사례연구를 통해 비교하였다.
