Abstract

In business survey, modified cut-off sampling is commonly used to greatly increase the accuracy of the estimation while reducing the number of samples. However, non-response rate of take-all stratum has increased significantly and the sample substitution is not possible because the non-response in the take-all stratum affects the accuracy of the estimation. It is important to adjust the bias appropriately if non-response is affected by the variable of interest. In this study, a bias adjusted estimation is proposed as an appropriate method to deal with a non-response in the take-all stratum. In particular, the estimator proposed by Chung and Shin (2020) was applied to the bias adjustment for the take-all stratum; therefore, we suggest a new method to adjust properly for the take-all stratum. The superiority of the proposed estimator was examined through simulation studies and confirmed through actual data analysis.

사업체조사에서는 흔히 수정절사법이 사용되며 이 방법을 사용함으로써 표본의 수를 줄이면서도 추정의 정확성을 향상 시킬 수 있다. 그러나 전수층의 무응답률은 크게 높아지고 있으며 예비표본을 이용한 표본대체가 불가능하기 때문에 전수층에서 발생한 무응답은 추정의 정확성을 크게 떨어뜨리고 있다. 특히 무응답이 관심변수에 영향을 받는 경우에는 편향이 발생할 가능성이 매우 높기 때문에 이를 적절히 처리하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 전수층에서 발생한 무응답을 적절히 처리하는 방법의 하나로 편향보정 추정법을 제안하였다. 특히 Chung과 Shin(2020)에서 제안한 편향보정 추정량을 전수층 편향보정에 적용하였으며 전수층이라는 특수한 경우에 맞는 새로운 추정 방법을 제안하였다. 또한 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방법의 우수성을 살펴보았으며 실제 자료 분석을 실시하여 본 논문에서 제안한 방법의 우수성을 확인하였다.
