Panel data sets have been developed in various areas, and many recent studies have analyzed panel, or longitudinal data sets. Maximum likelihood (ML) may be the most common statistical method for analyzing panel data models; however, the inference based on the ML estimate will have an inflated Type I error because the ML method tends to give a downwardly biased estimate of variance components when the sample size is small. The under estimation could be severe when data is incomplete. This paper proposes the restricted maximum likelihood (REML) method for a random effects panel data model with a censored dependent variable. Note that the likelihood function of the model is complex in that it includes a multidimensional integral. Many authors proposed to use integral approximation methods for the computation of likelihood function; however, it is well known that integral approximation methods are inadequate for high dimensional integrals in practice. This paper introduces to use the moments of truncated multivariate normal random vector for the calculation of multidimensional integral. In addition, a proper asymptotic standard error of REML estimate is given.

Bayes estimation of parameters is considered for two independent exponential distributions with ordered means. Order restricted Bayes estimators for means are obtained with respect to inverted gamma, noninformative prior and uniform prior distributions, and their asymptotic properties are established. It is shown that the maximum likelihood estimator, restricted maximum likelihood estimator, unrestricted Bayes estimator, and restricted Bayes estimator of the mean are all consistent and have the same limiting distribution. These estimators are compared with the corresponding unrestricted Bayes estimators by Monte Carlo simulation.

This paper considers the reliability estimation of a two-component shared-load system based on Freund model. Maximum likelihood estimator, order restricted maximum likelihood estimator and uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator of the reliability function for the system are obtained. Performance of three estimators for moderate sample sizes is studied by simulation.

It is well known in a small sample that the maximum likelihood (ML) approach for variance components in the general linear model yields estimates that are biased downward. The ML estimate of residual variance tends to be downwardly biased. The underestimation of residual variance, which has implications for the estimation of marginal effects and asymptotic standard error of estimates, seems to be more serious in some limited dependent variable models, as shown by some researchers. An alternative frequentist's approach may be restricted or residual maximum likelihood (REML), which accounts for the loss in degrees of freedom and gives an unbiased estimate of residual variance. In this situation, the REML estimator is derived in a censored regression model. A small sample the REML is shown to provide proper inference on regression coefficients.

The comparison of two or more Lorenz curves of Pareto distributions of first kind under arbitrary order restriction is studied. The problem is turned out to be a statistical inference problem concerning scale parameters under order restriction. We assume that the location parameters of Palate distributions are completely unknown. In this paper the maximum likelihood estimation and likelihood ratio tests for and against order restriction are proposed.

In this paper, we obtain the restricted maximum likelihood estimators (RMLE's) for means in normal distributions with the ordered mean constraints. The biases and mean squared errors (MSE's) of these RMLE's are approximated by Mote Carlo methods. In every case a substantial savings in MSE is obtained at the expense of a small loss in bias when using RMLE's instead of the unrestricted MLE's.

SAS의 PROC MIXED를 사용하면 일반적인 ANOVA 추정량뿐만 아니라 더 많은 장점을 갖는 제한최대우도추정법 또는 최대우도추정법으로 모수들을 추론할 수 있다. 혼합모형에 속하는 불균형중첩오차구조를 갖는 선형회귀모형에서 랜덤효과와 관련된 그룹간 분산의 신뢰 구간과 고정효과에 해당되는 회귀 계수들에 대 한 신뢰구간을 구하기 위하여 세 가지 크기를 갖는 표본에 대하여 PROC MIXED를 사용하였다. 모의실험을 실행한 결과, 대표본인 경우에는 모수들의 신뢰 구간을 구하기 위하여 PROC MIXED를 활용할 수 있지만, 소표본인 경우에는 PROC MIXED를 사용할 경우, 그룹간 분산의 신뢰 구간과 회귀계수 가운데 절편항의 신뢰구간은 주어진 신뢰계수를 지키지 못하는 것을 보인다.

Growth records over six generations of 686 pigs in SD-II Swine Line were used to estimate the genetic and phenotypic covariance functions for body weight as longitudinal data. A random regression model with Legendre polynomials of age as independent variables was used to estimate the (co)variances among the regression coefficients, thus the coefficients of genetic and permanent environmental covariance functions by restricted maximum likelihood employing the average information algorithm. The results showed that, using litter effect as additional random effect, a reduced order of fit did not describe the data adequately. For all five orders of fit, however, the change trends of genetic and phenotypic (co)variances were very similar from ${\kappa}$=3 onwards.

비정상 현상을 나타내는 지하수위 자료의 추정을 위해서 제한적 최대 우도치를 이용하는 universal kriging을 사용하였다. 제한적 최대우도법의 우수성을 판정하기 위해 가중 최소자승법을 이용하는 IRD-k와 비교 검토하였다. 교차 타당성에 있어서 RML과 k계 고유 확율함수는 거의 비슷한 결과를 갖고, 참값 대 추정치의 이산분포도와 지하수위 등고선도에 있어서도 2가지 방법이 거의 같은 결과를 만들었다. RNL을 이요한 universal kriging과 가중 최소자승법을 이용한 IRF-k가 비정상 함수자료의 추정에 있어서 거의 비슷한 결과를 만든 원인은 이용된 실험자료의 비정규분포와 적은 자료수에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

한국 학생들의 아동기 혹은 청소년기의 공격성에 대한 연구들은 대부분 횡단자료를 이용한 것들이다. 경시적 자료를 이용한 연구가 있지만, 반복측정된 자료들이 서로 독립이라는 가정 하에 연구되었다. 본 연구에서는 2006년부터 2012년까지 세 차례 반복측정에 의해 얻어진 한국복지패널 자료를 이용하여, 횡단자료 분석 연구의 결과인 아동 혹은 청소년의 공격성에 영향을 미치는 요인들로 알려진 학교 적응, 자아존중감, 우울 및 불안, 비행, 학교 폭력 피해 경험, 부모로부터 학대 경험과 인터넷 사용시간이 경시적 자료 분석에서도 공격성에 영향을 주는 지를 분석하고자 한다. 한국복지패널 자료의 결측치는 임의결측을 가정하고, 제한적 최우추정량을 이용한 선형혼합모형을 적합하고자 한다.
