  • In many cases, the measurement error variances may be functions of the unknown true values or related covariates. This paper considers design-based estimators of the parameters of these variance functions based on the within-unit sample variances. This paper devotes to: (1) define an error scale factor $\delta$; (2) develop estimators of the parameters of the linear measurement error variance function of the true values under large-sample 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).

  • The purpose of this paper is to estimate the impact of credit rationing on the amount of trade credit used by farmers in Vietnam. This study employs a survey data collected through direct interviews with heads of 1,065 rice households randomly selected out of provinces and city in the Mekong River Delta (MRD). In each province or city, the village with the largest area of land devoted to rice production from the district with the largest area of land devoted to rice production was picked up for survey. In each village, 200 rice farmers were randomly chosen for interview. Based on a probit model and a semi-parametric propensity score matching (PSM) estimator while controlling socio-demographic traits of rice farmers, the estimated results show that non-credit rationed farmers use less trade credit to finance production compared to their credit rationed counterparts. Moreover, the amount of trade credit used by farmers decreases as the degree of credit rationing drops. This paper provides evidence of the substitutive relationship between bank credit and trade credit. It also implicitly suggests that banks can drive trade creditors out of the market if they manage to solve the problem of information asymmetry and transaction cost.

  • This paper addresses the use of machine learning methods for causal estimation of treatment effects from observational data. Even though conducting randomized experimental trials is a gold standard to reveal potential causal relationships, observational study is another rich source for investigation of exposure effects, for example, in the research of comparative effectiveness and safety of treatments, where the causal effect can be identified if covariates contain all confounding variables. In this context, statistical regression models for the expected outcome and the probability of treatment are often imposed, which can be combined in a clever way to yield more efficient and robust causal estimators. Recently, targeted maximum likelihood estimation and causal random forest is proposed and extensively studied for the use of data-adaptive regression in estimation of causal inference parameters. Machine learning methods are a natural choice in these settings to improve the quality of the final estimate of the treatment effect. We explore how we can adapt the design and training of several machine learning algorithms for causal inference and study their finite-sample performance through simulation experiments under various scenarios. Application to the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) data shows that these adaptations can improve simple linear regression-based methods.

  • 최근 필자가 견직물방추 가공하기 위해 개발한 acryl 합성수지를 합성섬유와 견직물가공된 것이 정전기발생에 어떠한 영향을 미치는가를 알기 위해 실행했다. 본 실험조건은 다음과 같다. (A) 사용가공처리제는 0.5% acryl polymer 525였다(자가제). (B) 각 직물에 대한 정전기 대전압은 K.S. 규격마찰 검사(KS K 0555) 방식에 따라 했다. (C) 마찰대상 직물로서는 K.S. 표준규격 KS K 0905 cotton, nylon, polyester와 공시직물로 했다. (D) 시료로서 silk, nylon, polyester 및 acryl 직물을 상기 합성수지 가공한 것과 안한 것을 구분해서 정전기 대전압을 조사했다. (E) 가공한 것과 가공하지 않은 시료별로 K.S. 표준규격(KS K 0465) 방식에 의해 세탁했다. 이와 같은 조사로 인하여 여러 가지 흥미있는 결과를 얻었는데 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. polyster를 제외하고는 silk, bylon, acryl 직물의 가공직물의 대전압이 가공하지 않은 것의 대전압보다 높았다(Table 5참조). 2. 가공한 polyester 직물의 K.S. polyester에 대한 대전압이 현저하게 감소하였다. 3. 견직물의 대전성은 흠이 없는데도 불구하고 높게 나왔는데 그 이유로서는 견직물의 결점이 마찰에 약하다는 성질과 마찰에 의한 K.S. 표준검사규격이 마찰에 강한 합성섬유를 대상으로 되어서 견직물에는 부적합한데 있다. 4. 동질섬유직물간의 마찰로 인한 대전압이 이질섬유직물간이 대전압보다 작게 나왔다. 5. 정전기 대전압은 세탁반복에 따라 증가하였다. 6. 많은 조사 결과가 Contact Electrification Series 원칙에 준하고 있는 사실, 즉 series상 피차 멀리 배치될수록 마찰대전압이 높아지고 있었다(Fig. 6 참조). 7. 이러한 조사 결과는 정전기 발생에 관하는 한 혼방사작업에 문제점으로 될 것이다. 8. 또한 견직물 가공에 임해서도 정전기 대전압이 가공으로 인해 증가할 것이라는 문제를 잊어서는 안 된다.

  • This treatise, after review recent data on Oriental Medical toxicity, gets a conclusion on toxic concept of Oriental Medicine. 1. In the oriental medicine, the concept of toxic character contains propensity which disposition is inclined, and general meaning covered with the effect of a medicine, a side effect, formation of a medicine Besides, the concept diversely is used in the cause of a disease, names, symptoms, how to treat, medicines, prevention name, etc. 2. Every herbal drugs has toxic character. Levels of toxicity are nonexistence(無毒), existence(有毒), a little(小毒), always(常毒), serious(大毒), fatal toxic(劇毒), whose concepts in the Oriental Medicine are divided relative and absolute at the same time. 3. The examples of the fatal events by poisoning up to now are more than 400 cases(in China). 4. The factors of toxicity are the amount used unsuitably, the combination, directions, and interactions between western and oriental medicine, etc. The reduction of toxicity and how to detoxicate is several methods. The toxic science in Oriental Medicine based on the formation of oriental medicine present principles which use herbal drugs safely and availablely, utilizing th dispositions and efficiencies. It has positive, learning spirits which prevent abuse of oriental medicine, and which exactly diagnose and use the herbal drugs in the treatment with absolute toxic medicine. However, I think that scientific, positive experimental research is necessary to setup dose-response relation, be in relative quantity of toxic character, operate on the reactive mechanism exactly.

  • In order to evaluate the potential of partial hydrocarbon substitution to improve the safety of hydrogen use in general and the performance of internal combustion engines in particular, the outward propagation and development of surface cellular instability of spark-ignited spherical premixed flames of mixtures of hydrogen, hydrocarbon, and air were experimentally studied at NTP (normal temperature and pressure) condition in a constant-pressure combustion chamber. With propane being the substituent, the laminar burning velocities, the Markstein lengths, and the propensity of cell formation were experimentally determined, while the laminar burning velocities and the associated flame thicknesses were computed using a recent kinetic mechanism. Results show substantial reduction of laminar burning velocities with propane substitution, and support the potential of propane as a suppressant of both diffusional-thermal and hydrodynamic cellular instabilities in hydrogen-air flames.
