When sensitive topics such as gambling habits, drug addiction, alcoholism, tax evasion tendencies, induced abortions, drunk driving, past criminal involvement, and homosexuality are the focus of open or direct surveys, it becomes challenging to obtain accurate information due to nonresponse bias and response bias. People often hesitate to provide truthful answers. Warner introduced an ingenious method to address this issue. In this study, a new and unrelated randomized response model is proposed to eliminate misleading responses and nonresponses caused by the stigma associated with the attribute being investigated. The proposed randomized response model allows for the estimation of the population percentage with the sensitive characteristic in an unbiased manner. The characteristics and recommendations of the proposed randomized response model are examined, and numerical examples are provided to support the findings of this study.

랜덤화 블록 계획법(randomized block design)에서 대립가설형태에 따라 많은 비모수적인 방법들이 제안되었다. 일반대립가설에서 대표적으로 Fridman (1937)의 검정법이 있고, 순서형 대립가설에서는 Page (1963)의 검정법이 있다. 우산형 대립가설에 대한 비모수적 방법으로는 일원 배치 모형에서 k개의 표본 문제에 대하여 Mack과 Wolfe (1981)의 검정법이 있다. 본 논문에서는 랜덤화 블록 계획법(randomized block design)에서 우산형대립가설에 대하여 블록 간의 정보를 이용한 Hodges와 Lehmann (1962)의 정렬방법과 위치를 이용한 Kim (1999)의 검정법을 이용하여 검정법을 제안하였다. 또한, Monte carlo 모의실험을 통하여 제안된 검정법과 기존의 검정법을 비교하였다.

Objectives : The purpose is to review large-scale clinical researches, the acupuncture randomized trials(ART) and the acupuncture in routine care(ARC), concerning efficacy and effectiveness of acupuncture performed in Germany. Methods and Results : We have reviewed the studies that were searched by keyword 'acupuncture' as the title and'Witt CM' as one of the main authors in PubMed. Sixteen clinical reports focused on the ART and ARC studies were analyzed among all thirty six were searched. Six studies were related with the ART and eight were focused on the ARC, and other two were on both. Finally, across all researches except osteoarthritis of knee trials in the ART, compared the acupuncture group with the control were significantly improved. On the other hand, ARC showed that additional acupuncture plus routine care was more effective than routine care alone and the response to treatment of the non-randomized group did not differ the one of the randomized acupuncture group. Conclusions : The results may suggest that acupuncture treatment has obvious clinical effectiveness. These results are expected to inspire domestic research and clinical applications in Korea, and more rigorous research on the efficacy of acupuncture should be guaranteed.

직접면접으로 민감한 질문을 할때 발생하는 무응답이나 거짓응답의 문제를 개선하고자 Warner (1965)가 최초로 제안한 확률화응답모형에 관한 연구는 이후 많은 연구자들에 의해 개선, 발전되어 오고 있다. 본 연구에서 표본은 층화임의복원추출법에 의해 추출되었으며, 표본배분은 최적배분법에 의해 배분되었다. 한편, Kim과 Elam (2005)의 2단계 층화확률화응답모형을 확장한 3단계 층화확률화응답모형을 사용하였다. Kim과 Elam (2005)의 2단계 층화확률화응답모형과 상대효율을 비교한 결과 본 논문에서 제시한 3단계 층화확률화모형의 효율성이 상대적으로 높다는 결과가 도출되었다. 그러나 2단계확률화응답모형을 3단계로 확장함으로써 상대적으로 효율성은 증대되지만 반대로 조사과정의 어려움이 예상된다.

Objectives : The aim of this study is to review clinical trials using moxibustion on hypertension and to assess their methodology and results. Methods : Electronic literature searches for clinical trials (randomized trial, non-randomized trial, before-after study) of moxibustion were performed in nine electronic databases (four international databases and five Korean databases) and handsearch. English, Korean or Chinese articles were included. Laboratory or animal studies were excluded. Results : A total of twelve studies met the inclusion criteria. Seven randomized controlled trial, three non-randomized trials and two before-after studies were included. Seven studies used direct moxibustion(two are scarring one) and five used indirect one. Five of twelve studies used moxibustion treatment just one time, except for that most frequency was once daily or 2-3 times per week for 1-2 months. Of ten randomized or non-randomized studies, three used antihypertension drug control and another three used waiting list control. Compare to baseline, change of blood pressure after moxibustion treatment was significant in all studies. However, the results of effect in blood pressure between moxibustion and controlled were not consistent. Methodological quality of clinical trials included in this review was low and has risk of bias, especially in blinding of parcitipant. Conclusions : There are little high-quality clinical trials of moxibustion for hypertension. To evaluate the effect of moxibustion, more rigorous trials are warranted. Also, methodology of clinical trials have to be descripted in detail.

Objectives The purpose of this study is to systematically explore the effects and safety of acupuncture treatment for upper extremity peripheral nerve injury and to review the methodology of clinical trials. Methods We searched 9 electronic databases(3 international, 1 Chinese, 5 Korean) including English, Korean and Chinese, up to December 2017 for randomized controlled trials which evaluated the effects of the acupuncture in patients with upper extremity peripheral nerve injury. We abstracted the designs of the randomized clinical trials and the method of acupuncture treatment according to the Standards for Reporting Interventions in Clinical Trials of Acupuncture(STRICTA). Results A total of 8 papers were reviewed. All randomized clinical trials were conducted in China. Of them, five studies(62.5%) were electro-acupuncture as intervention. All randomized clinical trials reported favorable effects of acupuncture treatments compared to baseline or control group with outcomes of efficacy rate. However risk of bias seemed high. LI4, LI11, SI3, PC3, PC6 were most frequently used for acupoints to treat upper extremity peripheral nerve injury. Conclusions These results suggest that it is recommended to develop more detailed reporting standards for acupuncture treatment method. In the future, well designed randomized clinical trials which evaluate the effects and safety of acupuncture treatment for upper extremity peripheral nerve injury is highly needed.

Okeya-Sakurai는 타원곡선 암호시스템에 대한 부채널 공격의 대응방법으로 소개된 Oswald-Aigner의 랜덤한 덧셈-뺄셈 체인(Randomized Automaton 1, 2) 대응방법 [18]이 SPA 공격에 취약함을 보였다$^{[15,16]}$. 그러나 본 논문에서는 Okeya-Sakurai의 공격 알고리즘 [15,16]에 두 가지 잠재된 문제가 있음을 보인다. 그리고 두 가지 문제점에 대한 해결책을 제시하고 [15,16,19]와는 다른 새로운 효율적인 공격 알고리즘을 제안한다. 표준에 제안되어 있는 163비트 비밀키를 사용하는 알고리즘에 본 논문의 분석방법을 적용해 구현한 결과, 단순한 형태의 랜덤한 덧셈-뺄셈 체인(Randomized Automaton 1)에서는 20개의 AD수열로 대략 94%의 확률로 공격이 성공하며 30개의 AD수열로는 대략 99%의 확률로 공격이 성공한다. 또한, 복잡한 형태(Randomized Automaton 2)에서는 40개의 AD수열로 94%의 확률로 70개의 AD수열로는 99%로의 확률로 공격이 성공한다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to examine the efficacy of fire needling and warm needling for De Quervain Syndrome by reviewing clinical studies for recent 10 years. Methods : Randomized controlled trials, non-randomized controlled trials, and case series containing more than 20 cases about fire needling and warm needling for De Quervain Syndrome published since 2011 were searched through four foreign online databases (CNKI, Pubmed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library) and five Korean online databases (OASIS, Science ON, DBPIA, KISS, RISS). The number and characteristics of participants, treatment points and main treatment methods involving other combination treatments, treatment cycle or total periods of treatments, evaluation indices, efficacy, and adverse events were analyzed. Risk of bias of included randomized clinical trials was assessed using a revised tool for assessing risk of bias in randomized trials (RoB 2). Results : A total of 6 randomized clinical trials and 2 case series involving 471 participants were included. Tender point or 'Ashi point' was the most commonly used treatment point, followed by LU4. Treatment frequency ranged from once a day to once a week. One to three outcome measures were used to evaluate the results of the studies, with the efficacy rate the most frequently used, followed by visual analogue scale. Overall risk of bias of all included randomized clinical trials was judged to have some concerns. Conclusions : All selected studies showed that fire needling and warm needling treatments for De Quervain syndrome were more effective than other clinical methods or acupuncture treatments. However, as the number of clinical studies is still too small and the risk of bias of the studies is not low, it is believed that more systematic and objective studies should be conducted.

In Bayesian analysis of randomized response models, the likelihood function does not combine tractably with typical priors for the parameters of interest, causing computational difficulties in posterior analysis of the parameters of interest. In this article, the difficulties are solved by introducing appropriate latent variables to the model and using the Gibbs sampling algorithm.
