  • The sampling methods selected for this area was (1) Simple random sampling (2) Systematic sampling and (3) Sub-sampling. For the calculation of the number of sampling plot, 10 % coefficient of variation was adapted. As a result, 57 plots each for simple random sampling and systematic sampling was calculated. In the sub-sampling method, however, total of 40 plots, which were consisted of 5 Blocks, secondary 4 major units and tertiary 2 minor units, were examined. The reuslts obtained are summarized as follows : 1. The rate of expected error was 9.24% for simple random sampling, 8.36% for systematic sampling and 7.54% for sub-sampling, respectively. Therefore, the sub-sampling was proved to be the most accurate method among the test. 2. The volume calculated by each sampling method was compared to the volume of all stand. The rate of expected error was also lowest in the sub-sampling (0.39%), followed by systematic sampling (4.18%) and simple random sampling (7.92%). 3. Comparing the various reuslts and analysis of these results, the sub-sampling was regarded as the most rapid and economical method because this method had not only the least number of plots but also the least expected error among the tested sampling methods Therefore the sub-sampling is proved to be an ideal sampling method for forest survey.

  • This paper suggest a method of inclusion probability proportional to size sampling that provides a non-negative and stable variance estimator. The sampling procedure is quite simple and flexible since a sampling design is easily obtained using mathematical programming. This scheme appears to be preferable to Nigam, Kumar and Gupta's (1984) method which uses a balanced incomplete block designs. A comparison is made with their method through an example in the literature.

  • This paper considers whether random sampling always produces more accurate survey results in the case of South Korea. We compare information from the 2010 census to the demographic variables of three public opinion surveys from South Korea: Gallup Korea's Omnibus Survey (Survey A) is conducted every two months by Gallup Korea; the annual Social Survey (Survey B) is conducted by Statistics Korea (KOSTAT); the Korean General Social Survey (KGSS or Survey C) is conducted annually by the Survey Research Center (SRC) at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU). Survey A uses quota sampling after randomly selecting the neighborhood and initial addresses; Survey B uses random sampling, but allows replacements in some situations; Survey C uses simple random sampling. Data from more than one year was used for each survey. Our analysis suggests that Survey B is the most representative in most respects, and, in some respects, Survey A may be more representative than Survey C. Data from Survey C was the least stable in terms of representativeness by geographical area and age. Single-person households were underrepresented in both Surveys A and C, but the problem was more severe in Survey A. Four-person households and married persons were both over-represented in Survey A. Less educated people were under-represented in both Survey A and Survey C. There were differences in income level between Survey A and Survey C, but income data was not available for Survey B or the census, so it is difficult to ascertain which survey was more representative in this case.

  • The lateral resolution in an ultrasound imaging system is one of the most important factors for quality of the image and is determined by the beam focusing. For the better lateral resolution SDF(Sampled Delay Focusing) capable of digital focusing was proposed. The second-order sampling, one of band-width sampling methods, is suggested as being the best suitable for SDF because it allows total digital processing and is simple and economical. By proving that it introduces too much error, this article shows the second-order sampling is not appropriate for sampling of the wide-band signal generally used in ultrasound imaging systems. Also, this article suggests new sampling methods that maintain the advantages and reduce the unavoidable errors of the second-order sampling method. From computer simulation it is expected that the proposed methods reduce the errors of the second-order sampling method and can be used in real applications.

  • In this paper a new sampling procedure for estimating the population mean is introduced. The performance of the new population mean estimator is discussed, along with its properties, and it is shown that the proposed method generates an unbiased estimator. The relative efficiency of the suggested estimator is computed, in regards to the simple random sample(SRS), and comparisons are made to the ranked set sampling(RSS) and extreme ranked set sampling(ERSS) estimators used for asymmetric distributions. The results indicate that the proposed estimator is more efficient than the estimators based on the ERSS. In addition, the folded ranked set sampling(FRSS) procedure has an advantage over the RSS and ERSS in that it reduces the number of unused sampling units.

  • Today, the Internet is a part of our life. For that reason, we regard revealing characteristics of Internet traffic as an important research theme. However, Internet traffic cannot be easily manipulated because it usually occupy huge capacity. This problem is a serious obstacle to analyze Internet traffic. Many researchers use various sampling techniques to reduce capacity of Internet traffic. In this paper, we compare several famous sampling techniques, and propose efficient sampling scheme. We chose some sampling techniques such as Systematic Sampling, Simple Random Sampling and Stratified Sampling with some sampling intensities such as 1/10, 1/100 and 1/1000. Our observation focused on Traffic Volume, Entropy Analysis and Packet Size Analysis. Both the simple random sampling and the count-based systematic sampling is proper to general case. On the other hand, time-based systematic sampling exhibits relatively bad results. The stratified sampling on Transport Layer Protocols, e.g.. TCP, UDP and so on, shows superior results. Our analysis results suggest that efficient sampling techniques satisfactorily maintain variation of traffic stream according to time change. The entropy analysis endures various sampling techniques well and fits detecting anomalous traffic. We found that a traffic volume diminishment caused by bottleneck could induce wrong results on the entropy analysis. We discovered that Packet Size Distribution perfectly tolerate any packet sampling techniques and intensities.

  • A ranked set sample version of the sign test is proposed for testing hypotheses concerning the quantiles of a population characteristic by Kaur, et. al(2002). In this paper, we proposed the ranked set sample Wilcoxon signed rank test for quantiles under equal allocation. We obtain the asymptotic property and the asymptotic relative efficiencies of the proposed test statistic with respect to Wilcoxon signed rank test of simple random sample for quantiles under equal allocation. We calculate the ARE of test statistics, the proposed test statistic is more efficient than simple random sampling for all quantiles. The relative advantage of ranked set sampling is greatest at the median and tapers off in the tails.

  • The principal objective of a sampling plan is to make efficient use of the budget allocated and to obtain as precise an estimate of a population parameter as possible. In order to estimate the proportion of defectives produced or to determine some measure of product Quality, it is necessary to select random samples which represent a population parameter of the process. In this case, the two stage sampling is more efficient and convenient than simple random sampling. Therefore this paper aims to propose the design procedures of two stage sampling plan to obtain a representative samples in considering the sampling precision under the restricted sampling unspection cost.

  • In the previous section, we established a simple linear regression line by finding the slope and intercept using the least square method as: ${\hat{Y}}=30.79+0.71X$. Finding the regression line was a mathematical procedure. After that we need to evaluate the usefulness or effectiveness of the regression line, whether the regression model helps explain the variability of the dependent variable. Also, statistical inference of the regression line is required to make a conclusion at the population level, because practically, we work with a sample, which is a small part of population. Basic assumption of sampling method is simple random sampling.
