This study investigates the effect of survey refusal and noncontact on the nonresponse error in the household survey. For this purpose we analyzed the data of the interviewer's field work report. The survey data quality is affected by nonresponse rate and nonresponse error, and also nonresponse rate measures the reliability of the survey data. The household survey mainly contains two types of nonresponses of refusals and noncontacts. These refusals and noncontacts have different effect on the nonresponse error. This could be a venue for future research interested in decreasing the error due to noncontacts and refusals.

Controlling the total survey error including sampling error and non-sampling error is very important in sampling design. Non-sampling error caused by non-response accounts for a large proportion of the total survey error. Many studies have been conducted to handle non-response properly. Recently, a lot of non-response imputation methods using machine learning technique and traditional statistical methods have been studied and practically used. Most imputation methods assume MCAR(missing completely at random) or MAR(missing at random) and few studies have been conducted focusing on MNAR (missing not at random) or NN(non-ignorable non-response) which cause bias and reduce the accuracy of imputation. In this study, we propose a non-response imputation method that can be applied to non-ignorable non-response. That is, we propose an imputation method to improve the accuracy of estimation by removing the bias caused by NN. In addition, the superiority of the proposed method is confirmed through small simulation studies.

인터넷 조사는 전통적인 조사방법에 비해 신속하고 저렴하며 멀티미디어를 이용한 고도화된 설문을 사용할 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면 표본을 확률 추출하는 것이 어렵고, 대표성, 무응답 등의 비표본 오차가 심각하다. 본 연구에서는 비표본 오차 중 무응답 오차를 사례와 함께 정리하고, 인터넷 조사가 새로운 조사 방법으로서 활용될 수 있는 대안을 제시한다.

항목 무응답은 표본조사에서 비표본오차를 발생시키는 중요한 요인으로 지적되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지 통계조사의 분석과정에서 직관적으로 제시된 다양한 항목 무응답 대체방법들을 정리하고, 이런 방법들 간의 장.단점과 무응답의 발생 형태에 다른 대체 효과를 실제 사회조사 자료를 이용한 모의 실험을 통하여 비교, 분석하였다.

In this study, we newly define the Total Survey Error(TSE) in exit poll and investigate the TSEs of the exit poll survey for the 18th general election of 2008 to analyse the cause of the exit poll prediction error. To explore the main cause and effect of the total survey error, the total survey error was divided by the sampling error which comes from sampling process of poll stations and the non-sampling error which comes from selecting voter and collecting responses from sampled voters in each electoral district. We consider the relationship between non-response rates and total survey error as well as non-sampling error. Also, we study the representativeness of the exit poll sample by comparing the sex/age distribution of the exit poll data and the National Election Commission poll data.

Sampling design should provide statistics to meet a given accuracy while saving cost and time. However, a large number of non-responses are occurring due to the deterioration of survey circumstances, which significantly reduces the accuracy of the survey results. Non-responses occur for a variety of reasons. Chung and Shin (2017, 2019) and Min and Shin (2018) found that the accuracy of estimation is improved by removing the bias caused by non-response when the response rate is an exponential or linear function of variable of interests. For that case they assumed that the error of the super population model follows normal distribution. In this study, we proposed a non-response bias adjusted estimator in the case where the error of a super population model follows the gamma distribution or the log-normal distribution in a business survey. We confirmed the superiority of the proposed estimator through simulation studies.

Many studies have been conducted to properly handle nonresponse. Recently, many nonresponse imputation methods have been developed and practically used. Most imputation methods assume MCAR (missing completely at random) or MAR (missing at random). On the contrary, there are relatively few studies on imputation under the assumption of MNAR (missing not at random) or NN (nonignorable nonresponse) that are affected by the study variable. The MNAR causes Bias and reduces the accuracy of imputation whenever response probability is not properly estimated. Lee and Shin (2022) proposed a nonresponse imputation method that can be applied to nonignorable nonresponse assuming homoscedasticity in super-population model. In this paper we propose an generalized version of the imputation method proposed by Lee and Shin (2022) to improve the accuracy of estimation by removing the Bias caused by MNAR under heteroscedasticity. In addition, the superiority of the proposed method is confirmed through simulation studies.

본 논문에서는 패널조사와 같은 종단면 연구에서 시간의 흐름에 따라 패널의 노후화 등의 원인으로 각 조사주기별로 발생하는 무응답(결측)에 대해 특정한 패널집단을 대상으로 무응답 패턴을 통계모형을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이러한 무응답 패턴분석을 기반으로 결측자료가 존재하는 종단자료의 분석에서 적절한 방법을 선택하여 분석을 수행할수 있으며, 만일 무응답 대체가 필요한 경우 적절한 대체 방법을 결정할 수 있을 것이다. 횡단면 조사와는 달리 이용가능한 보조정보가 각 웨이브별로 다양하게 존재하며, 이와 같은 보조정보를 무응답 대체에 활용할수 있다면, 결측자료가 존재하는 패널 자료에 비해 전통적인 통계분석 방법을 적용하여 표준적인 결과를 산출할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Weighting is a common form of unit nonresponse adjustment in sample surveys where entire questionnaires are missing due to noncontact or refusal to participate. A common approach computes the response weight as the inverse of the response rate within adjustment cells based on covariate information. In this paper, we consider the efficiency and robustness of nonresponse weight adjustment bated on the response propensity and predictive mean. In the simulation study based on 2000 Fishry Census in Korea, the root mean squared errors for assessing the various ways of forming nonresponse adjustment cell s are investigated. The simulation result suggest that the most important feature of variables for inclusion in weighting adjustment is that they are predictive of survey outcomes. Though useful, prediction of the propensity to response is a secondary. Also the result suggest that adjustment cells based on joint classification by the response propensity and predictor of the outcomes is productive.
