We investigated two kinds of mean square error (MSE) estimator of homogeneous linear estimator (HLE) for the population total under stratified multi-stage sampling. One is studied when the second stage variance component is estimable and the other is found in cafe it is not estimable. The proposed estimators are necessary forms of non-negative unbiased MSE estimators of HLE.

The Gringorten estimator has been extensively used in extreme value analysis of wind speed records to obtain unbiased estimates of design wind speeds. This paper reviews the derivation of the Gringorten estimator for the mean plotting position of extremes drawn from parents of the exponential type and demonstrates how it eliminates most of the bias caused by the classical Weibull estimator. It is shown that the coefficients in the Gringorten estimator are the asymptotic values for infinite sample sizes, whereas the estimator is most often used for small sample sizes. The principles used by Gringorten are used to derive a new Consistent Linear Unbiased Estimator (CLUE) for the mean plotting positions for the Fisher Tippett Type 1, Exponential and Weibull distributions and for the associated standard deviations. Analytical and Bootstrap methods are used to calibrate the bias error in each of the estimators and to show that the CLUE are accurate to better than 1%.

This note deals with the estimations of the variance of a normal distribution $N(\theta,c\theta^2)$ where c, the square of coefficient of variation is assumed to be known. This amounts to the estimation of $\theta^2$. The minimum variance estimator among all unbiased estimators linear in $\bar{x}^2$ and $s^2$ where $\bar{x}$ and $s^2$ are the sample mean and variance, respectively, and the minimum risk estimator in the class of all estimators linear in $\bar{x}^2$ and $s^2$ are obtained. It is shown that the suggested estimators are BAN.

An approach to make the information bound sharper in median-unbiased estimation, based on an analogue of the Cramer-Rao inequality developed by Sung et al. (1990), is introduced for continuous densities with a nuisance parameter by considering information quantities contained both in the parametric function of interest and in the nuisance parameter in a linear fashion. This approach is comparable to that of improving the information bound in mean-unbiased estimation for the case of two unknown parameters. Computation of an optimal weight corresponding to the nuisance parameter is also considered.

In this paper, we consider maximum likelihood estimators of normal distribution based on type II censoring. Gupta (1952) and Cohen (1959, 1961) required a table for an auxiliary function to compute since they did not have an explicit form; however, we derive an explicit form for the estimators using a method to approximate the likelihood function. The derived estimators are a special case of Balakrishnan et al. (2003). We compare the estimators with the Gupta's linear estimators through simulation. Gupta's linear estimators are unbiased and easily calculated; subsequently, the proposed estimators have better performance for mean squared errors and variances, although they show bigger biases especially when the ratio of the complete data is small.

In a general variance component model, nonnegative quadratic estimators of the components of variance are considered which are invariant with respect to mean value translaion and have minimum bias (analogously to estimation theory of mean value parameters). Here the minimum is taken over an appropriate cone of positive semidefinite matrices, after having made a reduction by invariance. Among these estimators, which always exist the one of minimum norm is characterized. This characterization is achieved by systems of necessary and sufficient condition, and by a cone restricted pseudoinverse. In models where the decomposing covariance matrices span a commutative quadratic subspace, a representation of the considered estimator is derived that requires merely to solve an ordinary convex quadratic optimization problem. As an example, we present the two way nested classification random model. An unbiased estimator is derived for the mean squared error of any unbiased or biased estimator that is expressible as a linear combination of independent sums of squares. Further, it is shown that, for the classical balanced variance component models, this estimator is the best invariant unbiased estimator, for the variance of the ANOVA estimator and for the mean squared error of the nonnegative minimum biased estimator. As an example, the balanced two way nested classification model with ramdom effects if considered.

Rao와 Yu(1994)는 소지역 추정(small area estimation) 문제를 해결하기 위한 방법으로 추정 시점과 인접지역 정보 등 보조정보와 과걱의 표본조사 결과를 모두 이용하는 모형과 그 모형으로 부터 경험적최량선형비편향추정량(Empirical Best Unbiased Predictor)을 제안하였다. 본 논문에서는 Rao와 Yu의 모형에서 미지의 모수에 대한 사전확률분포를 가정한 계층적 베이즈 추정량을 제안하고, 이를 미국의 주별 4인가족 소득추정문제에 적용하여 그 효율을 미국의 Census Bureau에서 사용하고 있는 경험적 베이즈추정량 및 이전에 제안된 다른 추정량들과 비교하였다.

순환표본조사를 시행할 경우 매 순환주기별로 적절한 통계적 신뢰도를 가진 전체 모집단 특성이 추정될 수 있는 반면에, 작은 표본크기로 인하여 통계적 신뢰도가 높은 소지역 추정량의 산출은 어렵다. 따라서 소지역 추정량은 일반적으로 일정 주기 후 혹은 전체조사가 마무리된 후 독립적인 순환표본들을 결합하여 얻어진 최종표본을 통해 산출된다. 본 연구에서 는 순환표본을 결합하여 추정량을 만들 때 필요한 가중치 산출의 문제를 고려하였다. 기존의 연구들이 각 조사에 따른 경험을 바탕으로 조사별로 가능한 순환표본 결합 가중치를 정의하였으나, 본 연구에서는 모든 가능한 관심변수에 적용 가능하도록 표본설계변수에만 의존하는 모형을 설정하고 주어진 모형하에서의 최량선형불편예측치(Best Linear Unbiased Predictor: BLUP)를 고려하였다. 모의실험을 통하여 각 모형 하에서 정의되는 여러 BLUP을 비교하여 모형변화에 강건한 추정량을 제안하고 그 결과를 제4기 국민건강영양조사에 적용하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new estimation method based on a weighted linear regression framework to obtain some estimators for unknown parameters in a two-parameter Rayleigh distribution under a progressive Type-II censoring scheme. We also provide unbiased estimators of the location parameter and scale parameter which have a nuisance parameter, and an estimator based on a pivotal quantity which does not depend on the other parameter. The proposed weighted least square estimator (WLSE) of the location parameter is not dependent on the scale parameter. In addition, the WLSE of the scale parameter is not dependent on the location parameter. The results are compared with the maximum likelihood method and pivot-based estimation method. The assessments and comparisons are done using Monte Carlo simulations and real data analysis. The simulation results show that the estimators ${\hat{\mu}}_u({\hat{\theta}}_p)$ and ${\hat{\theta}}_p({\hat{\mu}}_u)$ are superior to the other estimators in terms of the mean squared error (MSE) and bias.
