단계별로 얻어진 $I{\times}J$ 이차원 범주형 자료에서 분할표 일부의 칸에서 도수가 붕괴(collapse)된 상태로 조사가 이루어진 것을 단계별추출(step-wise sampling)이라 한다. 단계별추출로 얻어진 자료를 분석할 경우 단계별추출법을 사용하여 분석하면 분석의 효과를 얻을 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 단계별추출법 중에서 최대우도추정법을 이용하여 얻어진 정확최대우도추정량(exact maximum likelihood estimator)과 단계별추출최대우도추정량을 연구하였다. 또한 MSE와 편향(bias)을 기준으로 모의실험을 통하여 두 추정법을 비교하였다.

Purpose - The purpose of the research is to further explore the understanding of the nature of the brand distribution service (i.e., service brand) by undertaking a quantitative investigation. We focus on the role of customer's perception of service brand on the customer value creation process. Research design, data, and methodology - This study used single cross-sectional design and 137 airline passengers as respondents using a convenience random sampling. We distributed the online questionnaires by email address. The empirical setting for this research is airline service in Indonesia with a consideration that airline service has the useful context for this research as the service delivery process involve extensive customer interactions with the airline and its employees. We then analyzed the data using multiple regression (step-wise) method to fulfill the research objectives. Results - Using the step-wise regression method, the result shows that the influential factors to create customer value are cost and company image. The result suggests a company to improve its costs components and its company image in order to increase the customer value. Conclusions - The research shows that costs play a critical role, and completed with the company image to form the customer value variable. This shows that mostly customer formed their value based on costs they sacrificed. Mainly, this evaluation is monetary cost based, while Indonesian customers tend to have a high value for money demands.

Dispersion coefficient preprocessing schemes have been examined to improve plume dispersion model performance in complex coastal areas. The performances of various schemes for constructing the sigma correction order were evaluated through estimations of statistical measures, such as bias, gross error, R, FB, NMSE, within FAC2, MG, VG, IOA, UAPC and MRE. This was undertaken for the results of dispersion modeling, which applied each scheme. Environmental factors such as sampling time, surface roughness, plume rising, plume height and terrain rolling were considered in this study. Gaussian plume dispersion model was used to calculate 1 hr $SO_2$ concentration 4 km downwind from a power plant in Boryeung coastal area. Here, measured data for January to December of 2002 were obtained so that modelling results could be compared. To compare the performances between various schemes, integrated scores of statistical measures were obtained by giving weights for each measure and then summing each score. This was done because each statistical measure has its own function and criteria; as a result, no measure can be taken as a sole index indicative of the performance level for each modeling scheme. The best preprocessing scheme was discerned using the step-wise method. The most significant factor influencing the magnitude of real dispersion coefficients appeared to be sampling time. A second significant factor appeared to be surface roughness, with the rolling terrain being the least significant for elevated sources in a gently rolling terrain. The best sequence of correcting the sigma from P-G scheme was found to be the combination of (1) sampling time, (2) surface roughness, (3) plume rising, (4) plume height, and (5) terrain rolling.

이단추출은 개체와 집락 단수준별 모집단 특성을 함께 추정할 수 있게 해준다. 단위수준별 보조정보가 함께 주어질 때, 단위수준별 정보 및 가중치 구성을 통합적으로 고려한 칼리브레이션 가중치를 산출한다면 단위수준별 특성은 물론 수준간의 다변량적 특성도 적절히 반영할 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구는 Estevao와 Särndal (2006)과 Kim (2019)이 고려한 통합 칼리브레이션 가중치 산출 방법에 대해 살펴보았다. 간단한 모의실험을 통해 기존의 통합 칼리브레이션 가중치 산출방법의 효율성을 비교하였다. 이 중 복합보조정보를 개체화한 후 단일단계의 칼리브리이션 조정으로 가중치를 산출하되 집락가중치가 집락 내 개체가중치 평균이 되도록 정의하는 방법과 단위수준별 보조정보를 이용한 수준별 칼리브레이션 조정을 상호 반복적으로 수행하되 집락가중치가 집락 내 개체가중도치 평균이 되도록 하는 방법이 조정전 가중치의 변동량을 크게 늘리지 않고도 수준간 다변량적 특성을 잘 반영할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 집락과 개체의 상호간 보조정보에 대한 총합추정의 적합도 측면에서 매우 양호하였고, 칼리브레이션 조정에 포함되지 않는 조사특성들의 총합추정에 대한 상대편향 및 상대 평균 제곱근 오차가 작게 나타났다.

The objective of this study is to examine how to maximize the efficiency of hospital management by minimizing the unit cost of hospital operation. For this purpose, this paper proposes to develop a model of the profit maximization based on the cost minimization dictum using the statistical tools of arriving at the maximum likelihood values. The preliminary survey data are collected from the annual statistics and their analyses published by Korea Health Industry Development Institute and Korean Hospital Association. The maximum likelihood value statistical analyses are conducted from the information on the cost (function) of each of 36 hospitals selected by the random stratified sampling method according to the size and location (urban or rural) of hospitals. We believe that, although the size of sample is relatively small, because of the sampling method used and the high response rate, the power of estimation of the results of the statistical analyses of the sample hospitals is acceptable. The conceptual framework of analyses is adopted from the various models of the determinants of hospital costs used by the previous studies. According to this framework, the study postulates that the unit cost of hospital operation is determined by the size, scope of service, technology (production function) as measured by capacity utilization, labor capital ratio and labor input-mix variables, and by exogeneous variables. The variables to represent the above cost determinants are selected by using the step-wise regression so that only the statistically significant variables may be utilized in analyzing how these variables impact on the hospital unit cost. The results of the analyses show that the models of hospital cost determinants adopted are well chosen. The various models analyzed have the (goodness of fit) overall determination (R2) which all turned out to be significant, regardless of the variables put in to represent the cost determinants. Specifically, the size and scope of service, no matter how it is measured, i. e., number of admissions per bed, number of ambulatory visits per bed, adjusted inpatient days and adjusted outpatients, have overall effects of reducing the hospital unit costs as measured by the cost per admission, per inpatient day, or office visit implying the existence of the economy of scale in the hospital operation. Thirdly, the technology used in operating a hospital has turned out to have its ramifications on the hospital unit cost similar to those postulated in the static theory of the firm. For example, the capacity utilization as represented by the inpatient days per employee tuned out to have statistically significant negative impacts on the unit cost of hospital operation, while payroll expenses per inpatient cost has a positive effect. The input-mix of hospital operation, as represented by the ratio of the number of doctor, nurse or medical staff per general employee, supports the known thesis that the specialized manpower costs more than the general employees. The labor/capital ratio as represented by the employees per 100 beds is shown to have a positive effect on the cost as expected. As for the exogeneous variable's impacts on the cost, when this variable is represented by the percent of urban 100 population at the location where the hospital is located, the regression analysis shows that the hospitals located in the urban area have a higher cost than those in the rural area. Finally, the case study of the sample hospitals offers a specific information to hospital administrators about how they share in terms of the cost they are incurring in comparison to other hospitals. For example, if his/her hospital is of small size and located in a city, he/she can compare the various costs of his/her hospital operation with those of other similar hospitals. Therefore, he/she may be able to find the reasons why the cost of his/her hospital operation has a higher or lower cost than other similar hospitals in what factors of the hospital cost determinants.
