This paper deals with a treatment of nonresponse in farm and fishery household economy surveys in Korea. Since the samples in two surveys were selected by stratified multi-stage sampling and weighted sample means has been used to estimate the population means, we choose a weighted hot-deck imputation method as an appropriate method for two surveys. We investigate the procedure of the weighted hot-deck as well as an adjusted jackknife method for variance estimation. Through an empirical study we found that the method worked very well in both mean and variance estimation in two surveys. In addition, we presented a procedure of forming imputation class and formed four imputation classes for each survey and then compared them with analysis. As a result, we presented two most efficient imputation classes for two surveys.

Kendall's tau statistic has been applied to test an association of bivariate random variables. However, incomplete bivariate data with a truncation and a censoring results in incomparable or unorderable pairs. With such a partial information, Tsai (1990) suggested a conditional tau statistic and a test procedure for a quasi independence that was extended to more diverse cases such as double truncation and a semi-competing risk data. In this paper, we also employed a conditional tau statistic to estimate an association of bivariate interval censored data. The suggested method shows a better result in simulation studies than Betensky and Finkelstein's multiple imputation method except a case in cases with strong associations. The association of incubation time and infection time from an AIDS cohort study is estimated as a real data example.

The sample reuse bootstrap technique has been successful to attract both applied and theoretical statisticians since its origination. In recent years a good deal of attention has been focused on the applications of bootstrap methods in regression analysis. It is easier but more accurate computation methods heavily depend on high-speed computers and warrant tough mathematical justification for their validity. It is now evident that the presence of multiple unusual observations could make a great deal of damage to the inferential procedure. We suspect that bootstrap methods may not be free from this problem. We at first present few examples in favour of our suspicion and propose a new method diagnostic-before-bootstrap method for regression purpose. The usefulness of our newly proposed method is investigated through few well-known examples and a Monte Carlo simulation under a variety of error and leverage structures.

In this paper, we propose the jackknife estimator and the bootstrap estimator of Gini index of the two-parameter exponential distribution when the location parameter $\theta$ is unknown and the scale parameter $\sigma$is known. Sinilarly, we propose the bias location parameter $\theta$ and the scale parameter $\sigma$ are unknown. The bootstrap estimator is more efficient than the other estimators when the location parameter $\theta$is unknown and the scale parameter $\sigma$ is known, and the bias corrected estimator is more efficient than the MLE when both the location parameter $\theta$ and the scale parameter $\sigma$are unknown.

Stratified cluster sampling has been widely used for effective parameter estimations due to reductions in time and cost. The probability proportional to size (PPS) sampling method is used when the number of cluster element are significantly different. However, simple random sampling (SRS) is commonly used for simplicity if the number of cluster elements are almost the same. Also it is known that the ratio estimator produces a good performance when the total number of population elements is known. However, the two stage cluster estimator should be used if the total number of elements in population is neither known nor accurate. In this study we suggest a composite estimator by combining the ratio estimator and the two stage cluster estimator to obtain a better estimate under a certain population circumstance. Simulation studies are conducted to compare the superiority of the suggested estimator with two other estimators.

The information of covariates are available to do fully efficient fractional imputation(FEFI). The new method, FEFI with logistic regression is proposed to construct complete contingency tables. Jackknife method is used to get a standard errors of log-odds ratio from the completed table by the new method. Simulation results, when covariates have more information about categorical variables, reveal that the new method provides more efficient estimates of log-odds ratio than either multiple imputation(MI) based on data augmentation or complete case analysis.

We study a statistical analysis about the fifth wave data of the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey based on linear regression models with measurement errors. The data is obtained from a national population-based complex survey. To demonstrate the availability of measurement error models, two results between the general linear regression model and measurement error model are compared based on the model selection criteria which are Akaike information criterion and Bayesian information criterion. For our study, we use the simulation extrapolation algorithm for measurement error model and the jackknife method for the estimation of standard errors.

Subcellular localization is a key functional char acteristic of proteins. With the number of sequences entering databanks rapidly increasing, the importance of developing a powerful tool to identify protein subcellular location has become self-evident. In this paper, we introduce a novel method for predic ting protein subcellular locations from protein sequences. The main idea was motivated from the observation that amino acid pair composition data is redundant. By classifying from multiple feature subsets and using many kinds of amino acid pair composition s, we forced the classifiers to make uncorrelated errors. Therefore when we combined the predictors using a voting scheme, the prediction accuracy c ould be improved. Experiment was conducted on several data sets and significant improvement has been achieve d in a jackknife test.

Resampling approaches were the first techniques employed to compute a variance for the Gini coefficient; however, many authors have shown that an analysis of the Gini coefficient and its corresponding variance can be obtained from a regression model. Despite the simplicity of the regression approach method to compute a standard error for the Gini coefficient, the use of the proposed regression model has been challenging in economics. Therefore in this paper, we focus on a comparative study among the regression approach and resampling techniques. The regression method is shown to overestimate the standard error of the Gini index. The simulations show that the Gini estimator based on the modified regression model is also consistent and asymptotically normal with less divergence from normal distribution than other resampling techniques.

In this paper we study the calibration estimator and its variance estimator for the population total using a bootstrap method according to the levels of an auxiliary information having strong correlation with an interested variable in nonresponse situation. At this point, we find tire calibration estimator in case of auxiliary information for population and sample, and then we drive the bootstrap variance estimator of it. By simulation study we compare the efficiencies with the Taylor and Jackknife variance estimators.
