双重抽样框下项目无回答插补估计方法研究

抽样调查工作中无回答情形不可避免,双重抽样框下亦如此,因此需要对双重抽样框下抽样调查项目无回答造成的估计量偏差进行纠偏校正。首先通过二重抽样获取辅助变量的信息,使用其构造比率估计量与比率型指数估计量的组合估计量对双重抽样框下抽样调查中项目无回答数据进行插补,得到对应各部分子总体的均值估计,再用Hartley估计量的形式对总体总值进行估计。通过计算估计量偏差、均方误差及最优权重系数,对比相同条件下完全回答时同类型组合估计量均方误差的相对精度损失与使用单一比率型指数估计量的相对精度损失,随机模拟结果显示损失率较低,插补方法有效。选择合适的辅助变量构造比率估计量和比率型指数估计量的组合估计量做插补值,更充分利用辅助变量和已回答研究变量信息,基于提出的组合估计量于抽样调查工作具有一定的应用价值。

Caliper pair-matching on a continuous variable in case-control studies

The use of matched pairs has been criticized as being less efficient than estimators based on random samples. This paper compares the mean square error of an analysis of covariance estimator based on random samples with two estimators based on caliper matched pairs. The first of these is a simple mean difference estimator and the second a regression estimator suggested by Rubin (1973b). Under conditions which commonly occur in epidemiologic case-control studies, both of the matched pair estimators can have smaller mean square errors than analysis o f covariance estimator. When there is a weak relationship between the matching and response variate, the mean difference estimator has a lower mean square error than the regression estimator.     

Reliability estimation for the exponential distribution

This paper is concerned with classical statistical estimation of the reliability function for the exponential density with unknown mean failure time θ, and with a known and fixed mission time τ. The minimum variance unbiased (MVU) estimator and the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator are reviewed and their mean square errors compared for different sample sizes. These comparisons serve also to extend previous work, and reinforce further the nonexistence of a uniformly best estimator. A class of shrunken estimators is then defined, and it produces a shrunken quasi-estimator and a shrunken estimator. The mean square errors for both these estimators are compared to the mean square errors of the MVU and ML estimators, and the new estimators are found to perform very well. Unfortunately, these estimators are difficult to compute for practical applications. A second class of estimators, which is easy to compute is also developed. Its mean square error properties are compared to the other estimators, and it outperforms all the contending estimators over the high and low reliability parameter space. Since, for all the estimators, analytical mean square error comparisons are not tractable, extensive numerical analyses are done in obtaining both the exact small sample and large sample results.     

基于半参数方法的模型辅助抽样估计研究

在总结现有模型辅助估计方法的基础上,本文通过构造一种半参数超总体模型,同时结合广义差分估计思想提出一种新型的模型辅助估计量。该估计量比传统的非参数和半参数回归估计利用更少、更易得到的辅助信息,即只需利用和广义回归估计相同的辅助信息,但一般会比广义回归估计拥有更高的估计精度。理论证明了该估计量是渐近设计无偏和设计一致的,其渐近设计均方误差为广义差分估计量的方差。模拟结果显示：其至少与广义回归估计一样好;对于线性程度越低的超总体模型,其估计精度比广义回归估计有越明显的提高;就本文模拟而言,光滑参数在0.04～0.12间适当取值时其会取到相对较好的估计效果。     

L Ranked Set Sampling: A Generalization Procedure for Robust Visual Sampling

In this article, a robust ranked set sampling (LRSS) scheme for estimating population mean is introduced. The proposed method is a generalization for many types of ranked set sampling that introduced in the literature for estimating the population mean. It is shown that the LRSS method gives unbiased estimator for the population mean with minimum variance providing that the underlying distribution is symmetric. However, for skewed distributions a weighted mean is given, where the optimal weights is computed by using Shannon's entropy. The performance of the population mean estimator is discussed along with its properties. Monte Carlo comparisons for detecting outliers are made with the traditional simple random sample and the ranked set sampling for some distributions. The results indicate that the LRSS estimator is superior alternative to the existing methods.     

Bias Adjustment Minimizing the Asymptotic Mean Square Error

A method of bias adjustment which minimizes the asymptotic mean square error is presented for an estimator typically given by maximum likelihood. Generally, this adjustment includes unknown population values. However, in some examples, the adjustment can be done without population values. In the case of a logit, a reasonable fixed value for the adjustment is found, which gives the asymptotic mean square error smaller than those of the asymptotically unbiased estimator and the maximum likelihood estimator. The weighted-score method, which yields directly the estimator with the minimized asymptotic mean square error, is also given.     

A Semiparametric Model for Line Transect Sampling

This paper introduces an appealing semiparametric model for estimating wildlife abundance based on line transect data. The proposed method requires the existence of a parametric model and then improves the estimator using a kernel method. Properties of the resultant estimator are derived and an expression for the asymptotic mean square error (AMSE) of the estimator is given. Minimization of the AMSE leads to an explicit formula for an optimal choice of the smoothing parameter. Small-sample properties of the proposed estimator using the parametric half-normal model are investigated and compared with the classical kernel estimator using both simulations and real data. Numerical results show that improvements over the classical kernel estimator often can be realized even when the true density is far from the half-normal model.     

MSE-matrix superiority of the mixed over the least squares estimator in the presence of outliers

In his recent paper, Ali (1991) has shown that the mixed regression estimator, when data contain mean-shift or variance inflation outliers, is uniformly superior to the ordinary least squares estimator in terms of scalar-valued mean square error. However, when using the matrix-valued mean square error criterion, this dominance fails to hold in general. The subsequent investigation gives a complete characterization of the situation where the mixed estimator is superior to the LS-estimator when the comparison is made with respect to this stronger MSE-property. Vice versa, the LS-estimator never dominates the mixed estimator relative to this criterion.     

r − k Class estimator in the linear regression model with correlated errors

Autocorrelation in errors and multicollinearity among the regressors are serious problems in regression analysis. The aim of this paper is to examine multicollinearity and autocorrelation problems concurrently and to compare the r ? k class estimator to the generalized least squares estimator, the principal components regression estimator and the ridge regression estimator by the scalar and matrix mean square error criteria in the linear regression model with correlated errors.     

On the bias and mean square error of the least square estimator in a regression model with two inequality constraints and multivariate t error terms

We derive and numerically evaluate the bias and mean square error of the inequality constrained least squares estimator in a model with two inequality constraints and multivariate terror terms.
