As an efficient sampling design, stratified random sampling is often used when auxiliary information is available at the designing stage. Although one - per - stratum design is an efficient design that can be used when many auxiliary variables are available, it does not provide any unbiased variance estimator. With a two - per - stratum sample in which two elements are selected from each stratum, it is possible to obtain an unbiased variance estimator. However the loss of efficiency could be significant if any important stratification variable is missed. In this study, we investigated a sampling design that uses the all given auxiliary information and also permits an unbiased variance estimator suggested by Park and Fuller(2008). Through a simulation study, we compared several stratified random sampling and systematic sampling design. We also applied the proposed stratified sampling designs to 2007 youth panel data.

In this paper, we investigate several variance estimators for pps systematic sampling. Unfortunately, there is no unbiased variance estimators for a systematic sample because systematic sampling can be regarded as a random selection of one cluster. This study provides guidance on which variance estimator may be more appropriate than others in several circumstances. We judge the efficiency of variance estimators for systematic sampling based on of their relative biases and relative mean square error. Also, we investigate variance estimation problems for two-stage systematic sampling applied for the Food Raw Material Consumption Survey and the Establishment Labor Force Survey simulation study, in order to consider the popular two-stage pps systematic sample design for establishment and household survey in Korea.

단순 이단계 표본 추출의 경우에 최적 선택률은 Hansen과 Hurwitz(1949)에 의하여 구하여졌다. 그러나 통계청에서 실시하는 표본조사등은 층화 이단계 추출을 한다. 따라서 실제적인 필요성에 의하여 층화 2단계 표본 설계를 시도 하였다. 층화 이단계 표본추출시에 주어진 비용아래서 모총계의 추정량의 분산을 최소로 하는 최적의 선택확률(optimum selection probability), 표본추출율과 부차 표본추출율을 Lagrangean 승수법에 의하여 구한다.

다차원층화에서 선형계획법을 이용한 표본배정 방법은 Winkler(1990, 2001), Sitter와 Skinner(1994, 2002)가 제안하였다. 이 방법들은 표본크기가 층 개수보다 크지 않는 경우에 공통적으로 선형계획법을 이용하여 표본배정을 실시하였다. 반복 비율 적합방법(IPF), 일반화 반복 비율 적합(GIFP), SS 방법을 통해 셀 값을 결정하고 선형계획법을 이용하여 표본의 배정확률을 통해 표본배정을 실시한다. 이 3가지 방법들로 표본을 배정하고 평균 및 분산추정량을 비교한다.

In panel surveys it is necessary to manage both sampling frame and sample units across time. When sample is updated according to the change of its frame, it should be incorporated in the estimation procedure. This paper derives the bias of the conventional estimator caused by neglecting the change of sample, and provides a bias-adjusted estimator with its variance.

The power function in sample size determination has to be characterized by an appropriate statistical test for the hypothesis of interest. Nonparametric tests are suitable in the analysis of ordinal data or frequency data with ordered categories which appear frequently in the biomedical research literature. In this paper, we study sample size calculation methods for the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test for one- and two-dimensional ordinal outcomes. While the sample size formula for the univariate outcome which is based on the variances of the test statistic under both null and alternative hypothesis perform well, this formula requires additional information on probability estimates that appear in the variance of the test statistic under alternative hypothesis, and the values of these probabilities are generally unknown. We study the advantages and disadvantages of different sample size formulas with simulations. Sample sizes are calculated for the two-dimensional ordinal outcomes of efficacy and safety, for which bivariate Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test is appropriate than the multivariate parametric test.

In many cases, the measurement error variances may be functions of the unknown true values or related covariates. This paper develops estimators of the parameters of a linear measurement error variance function based on wi thin-unit sample variaoces. This paper devotes to: (1) define measurement error scale factor $\delta$: (2) develop estimators of the parameters of the 1inear measurement error variance function under stratified multistage sampling design and small error conditions; (3) use propensity methods to adjust survey weights to account for possible selection effects at the replicate level. The proposed methods are applied to medical examination data from the U S Third National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey(NHANES III)

A trial has been made to find out a new method of calculating the survival rate of a fish Population utilizing the length composition data and the characteristics of the frequency curve of the length which usually is normal distribution curve. In this paper, a stochastic method is introduced and applied to calculate the survival rate of yellow croaker caught by Korean trawlers in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea in 1971. The results are as follows : Mean of survival rate 0.46089 Variance 0.03073 Standard deviation 0.17529 95 percent confidence interval 0.36040-0.56138.

We investigate design-based variance estimation methods of homogeneous linear estimator for population total under stratified multi-stage sampling. One method is unbiasedly estimating the first stage variance and the second stage variance separately in each stratum. And another is sub-sampling method that estimating the first stage variance only by using sub-sample selected from the second stage sample so that resulting estimator is unbiased for the total variance. The first is useful when the second stage unbiased estimator is available and the second is when the second stage variance is not estimable. For each case, we proposed a form of non-negative unbiased variance estimator. We expect the proposed variance estimation methods can be effectively used for many practical surveys.
