The Bass model is a cornerstone in diffusion theory which is used for forecasting demand of durables or new services. Three well-known estimation methods for parameters of the Bass model are Ordinary Least Square (OLS), Maximum Likelihood Estimator (MLE), Nonlinear Least Square (NLS). In this paper, a hybrid method incorporating OLS and NLS is presented and it's performance is analyzed and compared with OLS and NLS by using simulation data and empirical data. The results show that NLS has the best performance in terms of accuracy and our hybrid method has the best performance in terms of stability. Specifically, hybrid method has better performance with less data. This result means much in practical aspect because the avaliable data is little when a diffusion model is used for forecasting demand of a new product.

The ordinary least square (OLS) regression model is assumed that the relationship between distribution of longevity population and environmental factors to be identical. Therefore, the OLS regression analysis can't explain sufficiently the spatial characteristics of longevity phenomenon and related variables. The geographically weighted regression (GWR) model can be representing the spatial relationship of adjacent area using geographically weighted function. It also characterized which can locally explain the spatial variation of distribution of longevity population by environmental characteristics. From this point of view, this study was performed the comparative analysis between OLS and GWR model for ecological factors of longevity existing studies. In the results, GWR model has higher corresponded to model than OLS model and can be accounting for spatial variability about effect of specific environmental variables.

Background: Korea is considered to have an integrative health system where both western medicine and Korean (traditional) medicine are officially recognized and provided. Although Korean medicine has been covered by National Health Insurance over 20 years, equity in the utilization of Korean medical care has rarely been examined. Methods: We examined medical care utilization and expenditure of outpatient Korean medicine using panel fixed effects model to remove selection bias. Then we compared it with pooled ordinary least square (OLS) model. This study used Korea Health Panel data, which provides accurate information on out-of-pocket health care payment, including non-covered medical services. Results: Principal findings indicate that the frequency of the utilization of Korean medicine is related with unobservable individual choices different from western medicine, so the panel fixed effect model is appropriate. But pooled OLS model is better fitted for the expenditure of Korean medicine, after controlling for western medical care expenditure. After adjusting for the selection bias, socioeconomic status (income, education) was significantly associated with the expenditure of Korean medicine, but not with the frequency of the utilization of Korean medicine. Conclusion: This study shows that expenditure of Korean medicine utilization is inequitable across socioeconomic groups, which implies that health insurance coverage of Korean medicine is not sufficient.

This study aims is to determine the factors that influence Indonesian rubber export supply based on the export destination countries. Indonesian rubber export supply is thought to be influenced by the variables like the volume of Indonesia rubber exports, the price of Indonesian natural rubber, the volume of domestic rubber production, the export volume of the previous period, the rupiah exchange rate against US$, the interest rate and real Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The data used is the annual time series from 1995-2015 based on export countries encompassing the United States, China, and Japan. Multiple linear regression with the Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method is applied to analyse the data. The results showed that the volume of Indonesian rubber exports to China is not influenced by domestic natural rubber prices and the Rupiah exchange rate against the Chinese Yuan. The volume of Indonesian rubber exports to Japan is influenced by the volume of domestic rubber production. The volume of Indonesian rubber exports to the three destination countries is influenced by the volume of domestic rubber production, interest rate, and real GDP.

In this study, we aimed to identify the impact of socioeconomic characteristics on the health status of Chinese, which suggests that there might be the phenomena of health inequality in China. We used the year 2000, 2004 and 2009 pooled cross-sectional data of China Health and Nutrition Survey (CHNS), and utilized the Ordinary Least Square model (OLS) and Ordered Logit Estimation Method for this purpose. Empirical results showed that socioeconomic status and year dummy variables have a meaningful impact on Chinese health status. Therefore, we conclude that the phenomenon of health inequality has existed in China since 2000.

Increased data volume in the ICT area has increased the importance of forecasting accuracy for internet traffic. Forecasting results may have paper plans for traffic management and control. In this paper, we propose combined forecasts based on several time series models such as Seasonal ARIMA and Taylor's adjusted Holt-Winters and Fractional ARIMA(FARIMA). In combined forecasting methods, we use simple-combined method, MSE based method (Armstrong, 2001), Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method and Equality Restricted Least Squares (ERLS) method. The results show that the Seasonal ARIMA model outperforms in 3 hours ahead forecasts and that combined forecasts outperform in longer periods.

A multiple regression analysis using ordinary least square (OLS) is frequently used for the projection of health expenditure as well as for the identification of factors affecting health care costs. Data for the analysis often have mixed characteristics of time series and cross section. Parameters as a result of OLS estimation, in this case, are no longer the best linear unbiased estimators (BLUE) because the data do not satisfy basic assumptions of regression analysis. The study theoretically examined statistical problems induced when OLS estimation was applied with the time series cross section data. Then both the OLS regression and time series cross section regression (TSCS regression) were applied to the same empirical da. Finally, the difference in parameters between the two estimations were explained through residual analysis.

The ordinary least squares estimator $S^2$ for the variance of the disturbances is considered in the linear regression model with sutocorrelated disturbances. It is proved that the OLS-estimator of disturbance variance is asymptotically unbiased and weakly consistent, when the distrubances are generated by an MA(q) process. In particular, the asymptotic unbiasedness and consistency of $S^2$ is satisfied without any restriction on the regressor matrix.

본 연구는 OLS 및 변수선택법에 의해 통계학적 모형의 매개변수를 산정하여 모형의 적용성을 입증하고 하천 주요지점에 대한 홍수위 예측을 통해 홍수예보 및 예측 업무에 기여코자하는데 연구목적이 있다. 다중선형회귀모형을 구성하기 위한 독립변수는 예보지점의 수위/유출량 자료와 상류지점의 수위/유출량 자료, 그리고 유역의 선행 평균강우량 등의 자료를 독립변수로 하여 통계학적 홍수예측을 위한 다중선형 회귀모형을 각각 구성하여 적합성 여부를 판단하였다. 매개변수 산정은 OLS(Ordinary least square root method)와 변수선택(Stepwise)방법에 의해 산정하였으며, 중랑천 유역의 2002년부터 2005년까지의 수문사상 16개를 선정하여 모형에 적용한 결과 두 매개변수 산정방법 모두 30분에서 90분 예측은 상대적으로 정확한 결과를 나타내었으며, OLS 및 변수선택법에 의한 매개변수 산정결과 변수선택법에 의한 방법이 OLS 방법보다는 상관성이나 효율지수면에서 조금 더 정확한 값을 나타내고 있으나 독립변수의 일관성을 감안한다면 변수선택법보다는 OLS방법에 의한 매개변수 산정이 타당할 것으로 사료된다. 기존의 홍수예보 업무에 활용되고 있는 수문학적 홍수예측 모형인 저류함수법의 여러 매개변수 조정에 의한 홍수위 예측 방법보다는 비교적 간단한 통계적 방법에 의한 홍수위 예측 방법으로 홍수예보의 선행시간 확보가 필수적인 중랑천과 같이 유역면적이 작은 중소하천에서의 홍수예보 업무에 효과적으로 이용 가능할 것으로 사료된다.
