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)

In sample design, determining the weights of estimates becomes usually great influence on the result. In this article, raking methods are applied to different domain and depending on the range of the domain and sample size, the results of estimates are explained and compared. For the comparison, we use the MSE, MAE, MSPE and MAPE with Actual State of Minor Enterprisers Human Resources Survey data in 2001. The simulation result shows that more elaborate method is superior to the widely used method as expected but the difference is not quite significant.

This study compared the unweighted sample design, frequency weighted sample design and complex sample design to using 2009 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in an effort to identify whether or not there is any difference in potential risk factors. Pearson chi-square test and Rao-scott chi-square test were applied to the analytic methods. As a result of analyses, all the variables were overestimated as significant risk factors in case of the unweighted sample design to which only the frequency weights were applied. In addition, there were differences in the confidence levels and results from the simple random sampling analysis and complex sample design to which no weight was applied. It is necessary to carry out the complex sample design rather than the analysis to which the frequency weights are applied, in order to ensure the findings to represent the whole population when our national statistics data is used.

Objectives This study is aimed to develop a standard instrument of diagnosis and assessment for the original symptom of Taeeumin. Methods 1. Based on the clinical practice guidelines, the works of Dong-mu, and the expert clinical judgment of the research team, the items to be used in the instrument of diagnosis and assessment for the original symptom of Taeeumin were extracted, and translation was proceeded in plain Korean for easy application and feasible use in daily clinical practice. As a result, candidate items for the diagnosis and assessment tool were derived. 2. An online questionnaire survey was conducted on the candidate items derived through the above process to the expert advisory group for (1) inclusion/exclusion as diagnosis and assessment index (2) evaluation of importance and (3) the validity of translation. Results & Conclusions Through survey of expert advisory group, the number of candidate items were reduced and the preliminary weights were assigned. And based on this, was developed. There were a total of 9 items for Exterior Cold[Wiwanhan] original symptom diagnosis and assessment tool, 21 items for Interior Heat[Ganyeol] original symptom, 15 items for Exterior Disease Unfavorable Patterns[Wiwanhan-paejo] original symptom, and 17 items for Interior Disease Unfavorable Patterns[Ganyeol-paejo] original symptom, and the weights were reflected in each response score so that the final total score could be calculated.

Background: The Korea Risk Information Surveillance System (K-RISS) was developed to enable the early detection of food and drug safety-related issues. Its goal is to deliver real-time risk indicators generated from ongoing food and drug risk monitoring. However, the existing K-RISS system suffers under several limitations. Objectives: This study aims to augment K-RISS with more detailed indicators and establish a severity standard that takes into account structural changes in the daily time series of K-RISS values. Methods: First, a Delphi survey was conducted to derive the required weights. Second, a control chart, commonly used in statistical process controls, was utilized to detect outliers and establish caution, attention, and serious levels for K-RISS values. Furthermore, Bai and Perron's method was employed to determine structural changes in K-RISS time series. Results: The study incorporated 'closeness to life' and 'sustainability' indicators into K-RISS. It obtained the necessary weights through a survey of experts for integrating variables, combining indicators by data source, and aggregating sub K-RISS values. We defined caution, attention, and serious levels for both average and maximum values of daily K-RISS. Furthermore, when structural changes were detected, leading to significant variations in daily K-RISS values according to different periods, the study systematically verified these changes and derived respective severity levels for each period. Conclusions: This study enhances the existing K-RISS system and introduces more advanced indicators. K-RISS is now more comprehensively equipped to serve as a risk warning index. The study has paved the way for an objective determination of whether the food safety risk index surpasses predefined thresholds through the application of severity levels.

The e-learning industry status survey statistic provides information about the actual conditions of supply and demand of the e-learning industries. NIPA (National IT Industry Promotion Agency) has published the annual report of the survey results since 2004. Due to the 9th version of the KSIC (Korean standard industrial classification) revised in 2008, a refinement of the sampling design for the survey becomes necessary, especially that for the business demand sector. This article, based on the 9th revision of the KSIC, constructs a stratification of the target population used for the e-learning industry status survey on the business demand sector. Classification of strata in the business population is based on the industrial type and employment scale of business. Under the stratified population, we design a sampling scheme by using the power allocation method that enables us to satisfy a target coefficient of variation of each industrial stratum. In order to secure an accurate survey results based on the proposed sampling design, we consider the problem of calculating the design weights, derivation of parameter estimators, and formulas of their standard errors.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The obese population is rapidly increasing because of reduced physical activity and a Westernized diet; consequently, various chronic diseases are more prevalent. With the increasing interest in body shape and appearance, research on body shape perceptions and accompanying weight control behaviors are needed for healthy weight management. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on randomly selected 536 (209 men and 327 women) aged 20 to 65 years. Body mass index (BMI), body-shape perception, weight control behavior, quality of sleep, and place of residence were collected using self-reported questionnaires. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted using complex design in each groups. Collected data were analyzed using the SAS 9.4 statistical package, and the significance level was set at P < 0.05. RESULTS: When these two variables were divided into four groups, they were found to influence dieting attempts. People with abnormal weights who were dissatisfied with their body shapes attempted dieting 5.23 times more than those with healthy weights and satisfaction with their body shapes. Further, those with normal weights but dissatisfaction with their bodies attempted dieting 4.45 times more than those who were satisfied with their shapes. Subjects in their 20s attempted dieting 2.53 times more than those in their 30s and 40s, and female subjects attempted dieting 2.24 times more than male subjects. CONCLUSIONS: A correct perception of one's shape can be an important factor for dietary behavior, as body shape perceptions and dieting attempts are strongly related. Additionally, healthy weight management and nutrition education are important elements to incorporate into a weight control program aimed at preventing excessive weight control behaviors and promoting correct perceptions of body shape.
