  • Weighting adjustment is a method of improving the efficiency of the estimator by incorporating auxiliary variables at the estimation stage. One commonly used method of weighting adjustment is the poststratification, which is a special case of regression estimation but is relatively feasible in terms of actual implementation. If too many auxiliary variables are used in the poststratification, the bias of the resulting point estimator is no longer negligible and the final weights may have extreme weights. In this study, we propose a method of weight ing adjustment that compromises the efficiency and the bias of the point estimator. A limited simulation study is also presented.

  • Two investigations were carried out to understand the relationship between self-enhancement bias and psychological adjustment. In study 1, a scale for measuring the self-enhancement bias was constructed and the relationship between self-enhancement bias and psychological adjustment was examined in Korean college students. The relationship between two variables was significant in Korean college students. At study 2, college students and laborers in Korea and Germany participated to examine the relationship between two variables. It was significant both samples. This is very interesting result because it is reverse the existing outcomes that there are no self-enhancement bias and no relationship between self-enhancement and psychological adjustment in collective cultures. It is need to develop more refined measure tool and to do comparison with various cultures for more profound research on self-enhancement bias and cultural difference.

  • Purpose: This study aims to analyze the distribution of the role of adversity quotient in the estimation bias of future earnings. Adversity quotient is a cognitive ability that can be distributed as a reducer of bias effects that occur in profit forecasting or investment decision making. Research design, data and methodology: The study designs a full factorial within-subject 2×3 as a laboratory experiment. The study subjects are 30 accounting students who are proxied as investors. Results: The results show that the estimated earnings made by investors experience anchoring-adjustment heuristic bias which means the initial value becomes a basic belief that influences the decisions taken by investors. However, this study also provides evidence that heuristic bias can be reduced by the presence of adversity quotient. Investors who have high adversity ability are abler to reduce the estimation bias when compared to investors who have medium and low adversity ability so the higher the difficulty ability possessed by investors, the less likely the occurrence of bias in decision making. Conclusion: Thus, the adversity quotient is proven to be distributed as a reducing opportunity from the bias that will occur in estimating future earnings or making investment decisions.

  • In this study bias estimation method was applied to the free leveling networks adjustment by the concepts of free leveling networks. Optimum bias coefficients were determined by analizing the distribution of height errors with regard to bias coefficients. The object of this study lies in suggesting the utilities of free leveling networks adjustment, comparing one fixed-point and two fixed-points leveling networks adjustment.

  • Process adjustment is a complimentary tool to process monitoring in process control. Process adjustment directs on maintaining a process output close to a target value by manipulating another controllable variable, by which significant process improvement can be achieved. Therefore, this approach can be applied to the 'Improve' stage of Six Sigma strategy. Though the optimal control rule minimizes process variability in general, it may not properly function when special causes occur in underlying process, resulting in off-target bias and increased variability in the adjusted output process, possibly for long periods. In this paper, we consider a responsive feedback control system and the minimum mean square error control rule. The bias in the adjusted output process is investigated in a general framework, especially focussing on stationary underlying process and the special cause of level shift type. Illustrative examples are employed to illustrate the issues discussed.

  • In sampling survey the nonresponse reduces the precision of the estimator becuase of the nonresponse bias of the estimator. Deville, et al.(1993) considered the generalized raking procedure with the auxiliary information under five distance measures for reducing the nonresponse bias of the estimator. This paper extends the classical weighting adjustment of Deville, et al.(1993) to the stratified sampling case with three among five measures.

  • The propensity score method is used to minimize the bias level in social survey, which comes from nonresponse. The theoretical concept and the background of the propensity score method is discussed first. The propensity score method was first applied in the epidemiology observational study. I have summarized the process of the three propensity score methods that were used to reduce estimation bias in this study. Matching by propensity score is applied to the relatively large control group. Subclassification has the advantage of using whole control group data and regression adjustment is applied to multiple covariates as well as propensity score of each unit is computable and usable. Lastly, the application procedures of propensity score method to reduce the nonresponse bias is suggested and its applicability to real situation is reviewed with the existing data.

  • Process adjustment is a complimentary tool to process monitoring in process control. Although original intention of process adjustment is not identifying a special cause, detection and elimination of special causes may lead to significant process improvement. In this paper, we examine the impact of special causes on process adjustment. The bias in the adjusted output process is derived for each type of special causes, and average run length (ARL) of the Shewhart chart applied to the adjusted output is computed for each special cause types. Numerical results are illustrated for the ARL of the Shewhart chart, thereupon seriousness of special causes on process adjustment is evaluated for each type of special causes.

  • The performance of a modeling system consisting of WRF model v3.3 and CMAQ model v4.7.1 for forecasting $PM_{2.5}$ concentrations were evaluated during the period May 2012 through December 2014. Twenty-four hour averages of $PM_{2.5}$ and its major components obtained through filter sampling at the Bulgwang intensive measurement station were used for comparison. The mean predicted $PM_{2.5}$ concentration over the entire period was 68% of the mean measured value. Predicted concentrations for major components were underestimated except for $NO_3{^-}$. The model performance for $PM_{2.5}$ generally tended to degrade with increasing the concentration level. However, the mean fractional bias (MFB) for high concentration above the $80^{th}$ percentile fell within the criteria, the level of accuracy acceptable for standard model applications. Among three bias correction methods, the ratio adjustment was generally most effective in improving the performance. Albeit for limited test conditions, this analysis demonstrated that the effects of bias correction were larger when using the data with a larger bias of predicted values from measurement values.
