This study investigated the variability of WTP estimates(i.e. mean or median) with ad hoc assumptions of specific parametric probability distributions(i.e. normal, logistic, lognormal, and exponential distribution) to estimate WTP function using dichotomous choice CV data on mortality risk reduction. From the perspective of policy decision, the variability of these WTP estimates are intolerable in comparison with those of Turnbull nonparametric estimation method which is free from ad hoc distribution assumptions. The Turnbull nonparametric estimation can avoid a kind of misspecification bias due to ad hoc assumption of specific parametric distributions. Furthermore, the WTP estimates by Turnbull nonparametric estimation are robust because the similar estimates are elicited from a dichotomous choice or double dichotomous choice CV data, and the statistically significant WTP estimates can be obtained even though it is not possible by parametric estimation methods. If there are considerable variability among those WTP estimates by parametric estimation methods in condition with no criteria of model adequacy, the mean WTPs from Turnbull nonparametric estimation can be the robust estimates without ad hoc assumptions, which can avoid controversial issues in the perspective of policy decisions.

This paper compared the performance of the parametric method and the nonparametric method when estimating the distribution for the tail of the distribution with heavy tails. For the parametric method, the generalized extreme value distribution and the generalized Pareto distribution were used, and for the nonparametric method, the kernel density estimation method was applied. For comparison of the two approaches, the results of function estimation by applying the block maximum value model and the threshold excess model using daily fine dust public data for each observatory in Seoul from 2014 to 2018 are shown together. In addition, the area where high concentrations of fine dust will occur was predicted through the return level.

For the time-to-failure data with competing risks, cumulative incidence functions (CIFs) are commonly estimated using nonparametric methods. If the cases of events due to the cause of primary interest are infrequent relative to other cause of failure, nonparametric methods may result in rather imprecise estimates for CIF. In such cases, Bryant et al. (2004) suggested to model the cause-specific hazard of primary interest parametrically, while accounting for the other modes of failure using nonparametric estimator. We represented the semiparametric cumulative incidence estimator and extended to the model of Weibull and log-normal distribution. We also conducted simulations to access the performance of the semiparametric cumulative incidence estimators and to investigate the impact of model misspecification in log-normal cause-specific hazard model.

An objective Bayesian estimation procedure of the two-parameter Pareto distribution is presented under the reference prior and the noninformative prior. Bayesian estimators are obtained by Gibbs sampling. The steps to generate parameters in the Gibbs sampler are from the shape parameter of the gamma distribution and then the scale parameter by the adaptive rejection sampling algorism. A numerical study shows that the proposed objective Bayesian estimation outperforms other estimations in simulated bias and mean squared error.

We consider bootstrap confidence intervals for high quantiles of heavy-tailed distribution. A semi-parametric method is compared with the non-parametric and the parametric method through simulation study.

In this paper, when the observations are distributed as inverse gaussian, we developed the noninformative priors for ratio of the parameters of inverse gaussian distribution. We developed the first order matching prior and proved that the second order matching prior does not exist. It turns out that one-at-a-time reference prior satisfies a first order matching criterion. Some simulation study is performed.

이변량 정규분포의 상관계수 $\rho$에 대한 검정 및 신뢰구간을 구하는 모수적 방법으로서 Fisher의 z 변환과 해당하는 점근적 분포가 널리 쓰이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 대안으로서 직교변환과 F 분포를 활용하는 방법을 제시한다. 후자의 방법이 전자와 비교하여 사실상 대등하면서도 설명은 오히려 쉬우므로 통계학 교육에 더 적합하다고 생각한다. 또한, 시험적으로, $H_0$:$\rho$=$\rho_0$에 대한 모수적 임의화 검정법을 제안한다.

Stream flow data was analyzed for determining the lowflow which is the standard for river maintenance flow. Lowflow quantiles were estimated based on the parametric and nonparametric methods and two methods were compared by Monte Carlo simulation study. As the results of the parametric method, three probability distributions such as gamma-2, lognormal-2 and Weibull-2, are selected as appropriate models for stream flow data of 13 stations in Han River Basins. According to simulation results, relative bias (RBIAS) and relative root mean square error (RRMSE) of the lowflow quantiles are the smallest when the applied and population models are the same. The fame statistical properties from the nonparametric models are good within the interpolation range. Among 7 bandwidth selectors used in this study, the RRMSEs of the Park and Marron method (PM) are the smallest while those of the Shoaler and Jones method (SJ) are the largest.

본 연구는 강우의 자료년수가 부족하거나 미계측 지점에서의 확률강우량 산정을 위하여 충분한 강우자료가 확보된 지점들의 강우분석을 수행하였다. 30년 이상의 강우기록을 보유한 기상청 산하 57개 강우관측지점에서 12개 지속기간에 대한 연최대치 강우자료를 대상으로 확률분포형 분석을 실시하여 대표확률분포형을 선정한다. 지점별 지속기간의 대표확률분포형 모수를 확인하고 이를 도시하여 국내 전역에 대한 확률분포 모수선도를 작성하였다. 본 연구의 수행으로 인해 얻어진 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 전국 57개 지점에 대한 강우분석 결과, 적용한 16개 분포형 중에서 GEV 분포의 적합도가 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, GEV 분포의 모수를 이용한 지속기간별 확률분포 모수선도를 제시하였다. 둘째, 확률분포 모수선도를 이용한 확률강우량과 기존 연구결과의 확률강우량과는 차이는 대부분 기존 연구보다 과다 산정되게 발생하였다. 셋째, 확률분포 모수선도의 활용으로 기존의 연구에서 산정하기 어려웠던 미계측 지점에서의 확률강우량을 보다 편리하게 구할 수 있었으며, 기존의 연구와 비교하였을 때 산정된 확률강우량의 편차가 적어 미계측 지점에서의 확률강우량 산정 시 효율적인 방법이 될 수 있을 것이다.
