Eigenstructure of a spatial design matrix of Matheron's variogram estimator in $R^1$ is derived. It is shown that the spatial design matrix in $R^1$ with n/2$\le$h < n has a nice spectral decomposition. The mean, variance, and covariance of this estimator are obtained using the eigenvalues of a spatial design matrix. We also found that the lower bound and the upper bound of the normalized Matheron's variogram estimator.

The Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) models have drawn considerable attention in recent econometrics literature because of their capability to model the spatial spill overs in a feasible way. While considering the Bayesian analysis of these models, one may face the problem of lack of robustness with respect to underlying prior assumptions. The generalized Bayes estimators provide a viable alternative to incorporate prior belief and are more robust with respect to underlying prior assumptions. The present paper considers the SAR model with a set of linear restrictions binding the regression coefficients and derives restricted generalized Bayes estimator for the coefficients vector. The minimaxity of the restricted generalized Bayes estimator has been established. Using a simulation study, it has been demonstrated that the estimator dominates the restricted least squares as well as restricted Stein rule estimators.

A robust estimator for interpolating spatially distributed regionalized variables is introduced. It reduces outlier effects on ob-taining correlation between spatial lags and the correlation between spatial lags and the corresponding semi-variances and produces a significaantly improved semivariogram com-pared with those of conventional estimators. This estimator is applied to a field experimental data set.

Model-based methods are generally used for small area estimation. Recently Shin and Lee (2003) suggested a method which used spatial correlations between areas for data set including some auxiliary variables. However in case of absence of auxiliary variables, Direct estimator is used. Even though direct estimator is unbiased, the large variance of the estimator restricts the use for small area estimation. In this paper, we suggest new estimators which take into account spatial correlation when auxiliary variables are not available. We compared Direct estimator and the newly suggested estimators using MSE, MAE and MB.

본 논문에서는 다변량 자료의 위치모수에 대한 로버스트 추정량으로 공간중위수에 대한 절사 추정량을 제안하였다. 최적절사율은 붓스트랩 방법을 이용하여 결정하였으며, 이중붓스트랩을 활용하여 추정된 절사공간중위수의 공분산행렬을 추정하였다. 모의실험 결과 붓스트랩 방법에 의한 절사공간중위수는 자료가 다변량 코시분포를 따르는 경우 기존 공간중위수에 비하여 작은 평균제곱오차를 보여 효율적인 추정량으로 나타났다. 아울러 이중붓스트랩을 이용한 절사추정량의 공분산행렬 추정량은 단순붓스트랩 방법에 의하여 추정된 공분산행렬이 갖는 과소추정의 문제를 해결하는 방법으로 나타났다.

The ordinary least squares based estimator of the disturbance variance in a regression model for spatial panel data is shown to be asymptotically unbiased and weakly consistent in the context of SAR(1), SMA(1) and SARMA(1,1)-disturbances when there is measurement error in the regressor matrix.

지역적 공간의 특성을 고려한 공간선형회귀모형을 다루는 대부분의 연구들에서 사용되고 있는 자료는 완전한 상태임을 고려하고 있다. 하지만 공간선형회귀모형을 정확히 추론함에 있어서 완전한 자료가 사용 가능한 경우는 그다지 많지가 않은 것이 현실이다. 만약 이러한 상황을 고려하지 않고 통계적 추론을 할 경우 잘못된 결론이 도출될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 오차항이 일차 공간자기상관을 따르는 공간선형회귀모형에서 자료가 불완전한 상태 일 경우 일반화 최대엔트로피 형식을 이용하여 미지의 모수를 추정하는 방법을 제안하였고 몬테카를로 모의실험을 통하여 여러 전통적인 추정량들과 효율성을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 자료가 불완전한 상태에서 일반화 최대엔트로피 추정량이 다른 추정방법들에 비해 효율적인 추정치를 제공하였다.

Variogram estimation is an important step of spatial statistics since it determines the kriging weights. Matheron's variogram estimator can be written as a quadratic form of the observed data. In this paper, we extend a skew t distribution to a generalized skew t distribution and moments of the variogram estimator for a generalized skew t distribution are derived in closed forms. After calculating the correlation structure of the variogram estimator, variogram fitting by generalized least squares is discussed.

We present a survey of contributions that defined the nature and extent of robust statistics for the last 50 years. From the pioneering work of Tukey, Huber, and Hampel that focused on robust location parameter estimation, we presented various generalizations of these estimation procedures that cover a wide variety of models and data analysis methods. Among these extensions, we present linear models, clustered and dependent observations, times series data, binary and discrete data, models for spatial data, nonparametric methods, and forward search methods for outliers. We also present the current interest in robust statistics and conclude with suggestions on the possible future direction of this area for statistical science.

Recently Song and Cheon (2006) and Cheon and Lim (2009) developed the generalized maximum entropy(GME) estimator to solve ill-posed problems for the regression coefficients in the simple panel model. The models discussed consider the individual and a spatial autoregressive disturbance effects. However, in many application in economics the data may contain nested groupings. This paper considers a two-way error component model with nested groupings for the ill-posed data and proposes the GME estimator of the unknown parameters. The performance of this estimator is compared with the existing methods on the simulated dataset. The results indicate that the GME method performs the best in estimating the unknown parameters in terms of its quality when the data are ill-posed.
