우편설문조사를 이용한 조건부가치측정법을 통해 자료를 수집할 경우 무응답자의 발생은 보편적이며, 그러한 무응답자의 존재는 무응답자편의(無應答者偏倚) 가능성을 내재하고 있으므로, 표본의 통계치를 이용한 모집단에 대한 확대 적용을 위해서는 우선적으로 무응답자편의(無應答者偏倚)에 대한 검정(檢定)이 이루어져야 하며. 또한 무응답자편의(無應答者偏倚) 발생시 이에 대한 적절한 조치가 취해져야 한다. 본 연구에서는 다단계 우편설문발송법을 통해 수집된 자료를 이용하여 효과적인 무응답자편의(無應答者偏倚) 검정(檢定)의 수행과 무응답자군(無應答者群)의 평균지불의사액을 별도로 추정한 후 이를 이용하여 보다 합리적이고 정확한 총지불의사액(Aggregate WTP)의 도출방법을 제시하였다. 이는 우선적으로 무응답자편의(無應答者偏倚)를 분산분석을 통해 검정(檢定)한 후 선형외삽법으로 무응답자군(無應答者群)의 평균지불의사액을 추정하여 이를 모집단의 총지불의사액을 산출하는데 이용하는 방법으로 기존의 보수적인 방법들보다 상대적으로 저렴한 비용으로 무응답자편의(無應答者偏倚) 검정(檢定)을 가능하게 하며, 사회적 또는 인구특성상의 차이를 이용한 통계적 가중치 이용방법과는 달리 연구자의 직접적인 관심의 대상이 되는 지불의사액을 이용하여 무응답자편의(無應答者偏倚) 테스트를 하고 또한 무응답자군(無應答者群)의 평균지불의사액을 추정하여 보다 효율적이며 타당성이 있는 총지불의사액을 산출해 낼 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

Breiman, Friedman, Olshen and Stone(1984)의 전체탐색법에 의한 회귀나무는 상대적으로 많은 분리가 가능한 변수로 분리기준이 정해지는 편의 현상을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이런 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하여 변수선택편의가 없는 회귀나무를 만들고자 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 노드의 분리변수를 선택하는 단계와 그 선택된 변수에 의해 이진분리를 위한 분리점을 찾는 단계로 구성되어 있다. 예측변수 중에서 목표변수와 가장 밀접하게 연관된 예측변수는 예측변수의 자료의 종류에 따라 스피어만의 순위상관계수에 의한 검정 혹은 크루스칼-왈리스의 통계량에 의한 검정을 수행하여 가장 통계적으로 유의한 변수로 선택하였고, 선택된 변수에만 Breiman et al.(1984)의 전체선택법을 적용하여 분리점을 결정하였다. 모의실험을 통해 변수선택편의, 변수선택력 , 그리고 평균제곱오차 측면에서 Breiman et al. (1984)의 CART(Classification and Regression Trees)와 제안한 알고리즘을 서로 비교하였다. 또한, 두 알고리즘을 실제 자료에 적용하여 효율을 서로 비교하였다.

The hypothetical nature of stated preferences can lead to a hypothetical bias that might work as a normative pressure, influencing survey responses. This paper aims to test the impact of social desirability bias by comparing economic estimates based on both subjective and objective valuation questions. The case study is about an urban riverine restoration project in Deajeon, South Korea. As valuation methods both contingent valuation and choice experiments were comparatively applied. Based on a nationally representative sample of 1,000 respondents, the test results offered contrasting conclusions between two test approaches. Accroding to the estimation results based on the conventional valuation, the marginal willingness to pay estimates are 10,500 KRW from CV; and 18,600 KRW for improving water quality, 2,200 KRW for the inside view, 8,900 KRW for the outside view, and 5,800 KRW for biodiversity from CE. A segmentation-based approach is a conventionally used method, which showed a limited impact of social desirability on willingness to pay estimates. The alternative parameterization-based approach measures a model-wide impact of social desirability, proving a significant bias. Although the study positioned a cheap-talk statement before the valuation section of the survey questionnaires, which might have pre-screened the bias, the overall implications of the results suggest a caution in reducing and observing hypothetical bias. There might remain a significant and substantial hypothetical bias even after cheap-talk, particularly in situations with strong social desirability, so that the potential role of objective valuation questions is guaranteed.

Maurer가 제안한 유니버설 통계적 검정을 소개하고 검정에 사용된 통계량의 의미를 분석한다. 기존 검정법을 포괄하는 이 검정법은 보다 넓은 의미의 통계적 결점들을 탐지해낼 수 있다. 또한, 검정에 사용되는 통계량은 엔트로피와 밀접한 연관이 있으며 암호학적 응용에서 시스템의 안전성에 영향을 키치는 요소들을 탐지해 낸다. 이러한 특징과 함께 기존 검정법 보다 상당히 긴 표본 수열을 필요로 한다는 사실이 유니버설 검정의 단점으로 지적되어 왔다. 그러나 본 논문에서는 빈도(freequency) 검정법과의 비교를 통해서 미세한 편의(bias)를 탐지해내기 위한 도구로서는 유니버설 검정이 오히려 더 효율적이라는 사실을 보였다.

Traditional Pearson chi-squared test is not appropriate for the data collected by the complex sample design. When one uses the traditional Pearson chi-squared test to the complex sample categorical data, it may give wrong test results, and the error may occur not only due to the biased variance estimators but also due to the biased point estimators of cell proportions. In this study, the design based consistent Wald test statistics was derived for k-population homogeneity test, and the traditional Pearson chi-squared test statistics was partitioned into three parts according to the causes of error; the error due to the bias of variance estimator, the error due to the bias of cell proportion estimator, and the unseparated error due to the both bias of variance estimator and bias of cell proportion estimator. An analysis was conducted for empirical results of the relative size of each error component to the Pearson chi-squared test statistics. The second year data from the fourth Korean national health and nutrition examination survey (KNHANES, IV-2) was used for the analysis. The empirical results show that the relative size of error from the bias of variance estimator was relatively larger than the size of error from the bias of cell proportion estimator, but its degrees were different variable by variable.

The finite failure NHPP models proposed in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates per fault. In this paper, we propose the Erlang reliability model, which can capture the increasing nature of the failure occurrence rate per fault. Equations to estimate the parameters of the Erlang finite failure NHPP model based on failure data collected in the form of inter-failure times are developed. For the sake of proposing shape parameter of the Erlang distribution, we used to the goodness-of-fit test of distribution. Data set, where the underlying failure process could not be adequately described by the existing models, which motivated the development of the Erlang model. Analysis of the failure data set which led us to the Erlang model, using arithmetic and Laplace trend tests, goodness-of-fit test, bias tests is presented.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences by gender in influence recognition, usage, convenience and preference on purchase intention for traditional Korean rice cake. For this study, the effect of the gender-based consumption patterns-degree of recognition, usage, convenience, and preference towards the traditional Korean rice cake-on purchasing intention was investigated among the university students in Busan area. Of the entire students, 47.5% were male and 52.5% female; 51.0% had less than \5,000,000 and 49.0% had \5,000,000 or more in household income level per month; and 46.0% live with parent(s) whereas 54.0% by themselves. The findings showed that consumption patterns lie between 4.0 and 6.0 in Likert-type 7-point scale. It showed differences by gender in all of the degree of recognition, usage, convenience, and preference.

Finite failure NHPP models presented in the literature exhibit either constant, monotonic increasing or monotonic decreasing failure occurrence rates Per fault. This Paper Proposes reliability model using the generalized gamma distribution, which can capture the monotonic increasing(or monotonic decreasing) nature of the failure occurrence rate per fault. Equations to estimate the parameters of the generalized gamma finite failure NHPP model based on failure data collected in the form of interfailure times are developed. For the sake of proposing shape parameter of the generalized gamma distribution, used to the special pattern. Data set, where the underlying failure process could not be adequately described by the knowing models, which motivated the development of the gamma or Weibull model. Analysis of failure data set for the generalized gamma modell, using arithmetic and Laplace trend tests . goodness-of-fit test, bias tests is presented.

It has well known that an exhaustive search algorithm suggested by Breiman et. a1.(1984) has a trend to select the variable having relatively many possible splits as an splitting rule. We propose an algorithm to overcome this variable selection bias problem and then construct unbiased regression trees based on the algorithm. The proposed algorithm runs two steps of selecting a split variable and determining a split rule for binary split based on the split variable. Simulation studies were performed to compare the proposed algorithm with Breiman et a1.(1984)'s CART(Classification and Regression Tree) in terms of degree of variable selection bias, variable selection power, and MSE(Mean Squared Error). Also, we illustrate the proposed algorithm with real data sets.

With the ease availability of statistical software and powerful computers the application of statistical methods in domestic veterinary journals is on the increase. In parallel with this benefit, statistical errors are not uncommon even in renowned scientific and medical journals. These errors may lead to misinterpretation of the data, thereby, subjected to faulty conclusions. A systematic review of articles published in 8 issues of the Journal of Veterinary Clinics during 2006-2007 was performed to assess the statistical methodology and reporting. Ninety-four (72.9%) articles of the 129 original articles screened included any inferential statistical analysis in the article, including comparison of 3 or more groups (53 or 56.4%), comparison of independent 2 groups (40 or 42.6%), and paired t-test (9 or 9.6%) in order. Of the 94 articles in which statistical analysis was done 62 (or 66.0%) had at least 1 statistical error. Errors included failure to apply or incorrectly applying independent Student's t-test for paired data or vice versa, inappropriate use of t-test for more than 3 groups and failure in chi-square test to consider continuity-correction for small expected frequencies. The common errors in ANOVA were failure to validate assumption of the test, inappropriate post-hoc multiple-comparison and incorrect assumption of independence of data in repeated measures design. Reporting errors included failure to state statistical methods and failure to state specific test if more than 1 test was done. It is suggested that an editorial effort would be necessary to achieve the improvement of appropriate statistical procedures through the publication of statistical guidelines to author(s).
