Child labour is a disturbing issue for any society. It is attempted here in this article to develop an estimator to assess the numerical strength of this menace in Lahore division. A Horvitz and Thompson (1952) type of estimator is developed where weights are calculated on the basis of poverty and illiteracy to increase the sampling efficiency. Different characteristic features of this estimator, like its unbiasedness, variance, probability distribution, confidence intervals are also developed for its study from different angles.

In this paper, we obtain the estimator of system reliability for the bivariate Pareto model with bivariate type 1 censored data. We obtain the estimators and approximated confidence intervals of the reliability for the parallel system based on likelihood function and the relative frequency, respectively. Also we present a numerical example by giving a data set which is generated by computer.

Wavelet analysis is applying to many fields such as the time-frequency localization of a time series and a time varying data. In this paper, a statistical testing based Wavelet power spectrum analysis for the stationary Nino3 Sea Surface Temperature(SST) data was executed. Specially, the 95% confidence level for SST was effective in searching the periods of El-Nino using various wavelet basis functions.

Consider the problem of estimating the confidence interval of defect rate of a specified population through a screening test. Relationship between defect rate of the population and sensitivity and specificity of the screening test is discussed. More general statistical problem is introduced with the assumption of unknown imperfect specificity. An improved version of Hogan & Gladden(1978)'s estimator is proposed and discussed. Simulation studies are performed to compare the efficiency of the proposed estimator with current estimators.

The purpose of this study was to investigate parental authority by sex and age of child. The subjects of this study were 546 elementary school and middle school children in Seoul. The instrument was the Parent Authority Scale (김경희, 1991). Statistical analysis of the data was by two-way multivaliate analysis of variance, simultaneous confidence interval and structure coefficients. There were sex and age differences in children's perception of parental authority. There was a significant interaction effect between children's sex and age on parental authority.

The purposes of this study are to investigate the conformity of Korean Standards(KS) according to agreement on WTO/TBT, and to propose systematic frameworks of preparation, adoption, and application for KS in our enterprises. Significant changes in this establishment, revision, and abrogation include the following divisions; i) statistics-vocabulary and symbols, ii) Shewhart control chart, iii) statistical interpretation of data, iv) sampling procedures for inspection by attributes, v) sequential sampling plans for inspection.

In this paper, we consider two-components system which the lifetimes have a bivariate Weibull distribution with bivariate random censored data. Here the bivariate censoring times are independent of the lifetimes of the components. We obtain estimators and approximated confidence intervals for the reliability of series system based on likelihood function and relative frequency, respectively. Also we present a numerical study.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the parental authority and the parental child-rearing behavior. The subjects of this study were 380 children from an elementary school in SEOUL. Statistical analysis of the data was by MANOVA, the simutaneous confidence interval. The results were as follows : 1) There were sex differences on children's perception of parental authority. 2) There was no differences between the sex on children's perception of parental child-rearing behavior. 3) There were relationships on children's perception of parental authority and parental child-rearing behavior.

Generation of evaporation data generally assists in planning, operation, and management of reservoirs and other water works. Annual and monthly evaporation series were generated for King Fahad Dam Lake in Bishah, Saudi Arabia. Data was gathered for period of 22 years. Tests of homogeneity and normality were conducted and results showed that data was homogeneous and normally distributed. For generating annual series, an Autoregressive first order model AR(1) was used and for monthly evaporation series method of fragments was used. Fifty replicates for annual series, and fifty replicates for each month series, each with 22 values length, were generated. Performance of the models was evaluated by comparing the statistical parameters of the generated series with those of the historical data. Annual and monthly models were found to be satisfactory in preserving the statistical parameters of the historical series. About 89% of the tested values of the considered parameters were within the assigned confidence limits

We consider using ranked set sampling methods to draw inference about the three well-known measures of overlap, namely Matusita's measure $\rho$, Morisita's measure $\lambda$ and Weitzman's measure $\Delta$. Two exponential populations with different means are considered. Due to the difficulties of calculating the precision or the bias of the resulting estimators of overlap measures, because there are no closed-form exact formulas for their variances and their exact sampling distributions, Monte Carlo evaluations are used. Confidence intervals for those measures are also constructed via the bootstrap method and Taylor series approximation.
