Weighting is a common form of unit nonresponse adjustment in sample surveys where entire questionnaires are missing due to noncontact or refusal to participate. A common approach computes the response weight as the inverse of the response rate within adjustment cells based on covariate information. In this paper, we consider the efficiency and robustness of nonresponse weight adjustment bated on the response propensity and predictive mean. In the simulation study based on 2000 Fishry Census in Korea, the root mean squared errors for assessing the various ways of forming nonresponse adjustment cell s are investigated. The simulation result suggest that the most important feature of variables for inclusion in weighting adjustment is that they are predictive of survey outcomes. Though useful, prediction of the propensity to response is a secondary. Also the result suggest that adjustment cells based on joint classification by the response propensity and predictor of the outcomes is productive.

Unit non-response of surveys reduces the efficiency of the estimates and also causes non-response bias especially when there is large difference between respondents and non-respondents. Non-response weighting adjustments have usually been used to compensate for non-response. It is not easy to examine the non-response bias as well as to obtain information on the non-respondents in sample surveys. A household panel survey, called The Survey of Household Finances, was conducted in both 2010 and 2011. In this paper, we assume that non-response households in Wave 2 have strong non-response (non-cooperative) tendency. We classify those households into non-response households in Wave 1. Under this assumption, the characteristics of non-response households, the non-response bias and the effect of non-response adjustments are investigated.

이중추출(two-phase)접근방법 이용의 주목적은 관심변수와 보조변수사이의 관계를 이용해서 더 좋은 추정을 하고자 하는 것이다. 특히 이 방법은 층화, 무응답 문제에 적용하는 경우 상당히 효과적이다. 본 논문에서는 무시할 수 있는 무응답이 발생했을 때 이중추출기법을 이용해서 g-가중치와 응답확률을 각 단계별로 조정해줌으로써 무응답 보정추정량과 분산추정량을 구했다.

This paper considers formation of nonresponse weighting adjustment cell for handling unit nonresponse in sample surveys. We propose a multivariate regression tree mehtod for segmentation using the variable of interest and the estimated response probability simultaneously to construct effective nonresponse adjustment cell. One is using only response data and the other is using response and nonresponse data. These two cases are compared in terms of bias.

Most of sampling surveys have outliers and non-response missing values simultaneously. In that case, due to the effect of outliers, the result of imputation is not good enough to meet a given precision. To overcome this situation, outlier treatment should be conducted before imputation. In this paper in order for reducing the effect of outlier, we study outlier imputation methods and outlier weight adjustment methods. For the outlier detection, the method suggested by She and Owen (2011) is used. A small simulation study is conducted and for real data analysis, Monthly Labor Statistic and Briquette Consumption Survey Data are used.

When it comes to a survey, no answer would occur frequently. Therefore various methods for handling nonresponse have been applied to analyse the survey. In this paper, the ratio of occurrence of two type of nonresponse cases - unit nonresponse and item nonresponse - is presented using previous real survey data, and we compared complete data and data with nonresponse. We suggest the reason of happening of nonresponse and the ratio of nonresponse using data collected through group interviews.

Thanks to the advantages of low cost and quick results, public opinion polls on election in Korea have been generally conducted by telephone survey, even though it has critical disadvantage of low response rate. In public opinion polls on election in Korea, the general method to handle nonresponses is adjusting the survey weight to estimate parameters. This study first drives mathematical expression of estimator and its bias with variance estimators with/without nonresponses in election polls in Korea. We also investigates the nonresponse rate of telephone survey on 2012 Korea presidential election. The average response rate was barely about 14.4%. In addition, we conducted a survey in April 2014 on the respondents's attitude toward telephone surveys. In the survey, the first reason for which respondents do not answer on public opinion polls on election was "feel bothered". And the aged 20s group, the most low response group, also gave the same answer. We here suggest that survey researchers motivate survey respondents, specially younger group, to participate surveys and find methods boosting response rate such as giving incentive.

Workplace Panel Survey(WPS) is the representative panel survey of workplace in Korea. WPS was newly sampled in 2005 and is to be used for the subsequent biennial survey. The main survey is divided into a questionnaire for human resources(HR) manager, a questionnaire for labor relations manager and a questionnaire for representatives of unions. The population of WPS 2005 included workplaces across the country with 30 or more employees. The WPS 2005 was composed of 1,905 workplaces including 290 workplaces in the public sector. The sample was selected by the stratified random sampling. Weighting process for the survey data was introduced to compensate for differential sampling and non-response rates. Personal interviews were conducted using the Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing(CAPI) system during visits by interviewers, along with survey via mail and e-mail concerning employment and financial issues. The CPAI system introduced for the WPS 2005 can by used for automatical detection for errors and inconsistencies which may occur during the survey process. The CAPI system played an important part in enhancing the reliability of the survey data.

시간의 흐름에 따라 사회 구성원들에 대한 행태 연구나 사회의 변화가 개인의 행동양식에 미치는 영향 등에 대한 조사에서는 어느 한 시점에서의 구성원들에 대한 횡단면 조사와는 다르게 다년간 지속적으로 조사개체를 추적조사 해야 하는 종단면 조사 또는 패널조사를 수행해야 한다. 패널조사는 횡단면 조사와는 달리 최초 표본이 시간이 지남에 따라 조사 대상 표본으로부터 탈락함으로서 발생하는 표본의 마모와 그에 따른 대표성 상실의 문제이다. 그러므로 이러한 표본의 대표성 상실 문제를 적절히 해결하기 위해 적용 가능한 방법이 가중치 조정 방법이다 횡단면 조사에서는 (1)추출가중치의 조정, (2)무응답 가중치 조정, (3)사후층화 가중치 조정과 같이 3단계의 가중치 조정과정을 수행하지만, 패널 조사의 경우 이와 더불어 원 표본의 대표성을 유지하기 위해 종단면 가중치(longitudinal weight)를 함께 고려해야 한다. 이러한 관점에서 본 연구에서는 다양한 패널형태에 따른 가중치 조정 방법에 대해 고찰하고, 향후 수행될 한국복지패널(Korea Welfare Panel Study: KWPS)의 가중치 산정에 관한 이론적 근거를 마련함과 동시에 현재 국내에서 수행되고 있는 패널조사의 가중치 조정방법과 비교하고자 한다.

In sampling survey the nonresponse reduces the precision of the estimator becuase of the nonresponse bias of the estimator. Deville, et al.(1993) considered the generalized raking procedure with the auxiliary information under five distance measures for reducing the nonresponse bias of the estimator. This paper extends the classical weighting adjustment of Deville, et al.(1993) to the stratified sampling case with three among five measures.
