As scanner data provide complete transaction information, we\u0000 may use the expenditure shares of items as weightsfor calculating price indices at the\u0000 lowest (elementary) level of data aggregation. The challenge here is the choice of the\u0000 index formula which should be able to reduce chain drift bias and substitution bias.\u0000 Multilateral index methods seem to be the best choice due to the dynamic character of\u0000 scanner data. These indices work on a wholetime window and are transitive, which is key\u0000 to the elimination of the chain drift effect. Following what is called an identity test,\u0000 however, it may be expected that even when only prices return to their original values,\u0000 the index becomes one. Unfortunately, the commonly used multilateral indices (GEKS,\u0000 CCDI, GK, TPD, TDH) do not meet the identity test. The paper discusses the proposal of\u0000 two multilateral indices and their weighted versions. On the one hand, the design of the\u0000 proposed indices is based on the idea of the GEKS index. On the other hand, similarly to\u0000 the Geary-Khamis method, it requires quality adjusting. It is shown that the proposed\u0000 indices meet the identity test and most other tests. In an empirical and simulation\u0000 study, these indices are compared with the SPQ index, which is relatively new and also\u0000 meets the identity test. The analytical considerations as well as empirical studies\u0000 confirm the high usefulness of the proposed indices.","PeriodicalId":37985,"journal":{"name":"Statistics in Transition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44852663","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies on prolonged survival duration\u0000 are prone to having numerous possibilities. In studies on prolonged survival, patients\u0000 might die of other causes. Sometimes in the survival studies, patients experienced some\u0000 events (e.g. cancer relapse) before dying within the study period. In this context, the\u0000 semi-competing risks framework was found useful. Similarly, the prolonged duration of\u0000 follow-up studies is also affected by censored observation, especially interval\u0000 censoring, and right censoring. Some conventional approaches work with time-to-event\u0000 data, like the Cox-proportional hazard model. However, the accelerated failure time\u0000 (AFT) model is more effective than the Cox model because it overcomes the\u0000 proportionality hazard assumption. We also observed covariates impacting the\u0000 time-to-event data measured as the categorical format. No established method currently\u0000 exists for fitting an AFT model that incorporates categorical covariates, multiple\u0000 events, and censored observations simultaneously. This work is dedicated to overcoming\u0000 the existing challenges by the applications of R programming and data illustration. We\u0000 arrived at a conclusion that the developed methods are suitable to run and easy to\u0000 implement in R software. The selection of covariates in the AFT model can be evaluated\u0000 using model selection criteria such as the Deviance Information Criteria (DIC) and\u0000 Log-pseudo marginal likelihood (LPML). Various extensions of the AFT model, such as\u0000 AFT-DPM and AFT-LN, have been demonstrated. The final model was selected based on\u0000 minimum DIC values and larger LPML values.","PeriodicalId":37985,"journal":{"name":"Statistics in Transition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45306938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This interplay is\u0000 quite obvious as regards the first of the two options: probability vs. non-probability\u0000 sampling, as proposed and discussed in Kalton (2023). There, mathematics is represented\u0000 by probability and mathematical statistics. However, sometimes connections between\u0000 mathematics and survey methodology are less obvious, yet still crucial and intriguing.\u0000 In this paper we refer to such an unexpected relation, namely between rotation sampling\u0000 and Chebyshev polynomials. This connection, introduced in Kowalski and Wesołowski\u0000 (2015), proved fundamental for the derivation of an explicit form of the recursion for\u0000 the BLUE µˆt of the mean on each occasion t in repeated surveys based on a cascade\u0000 rotation scheme. This general result was obtained under two basic assumptions:\u0000 ASSUMPTION I and ASSUMPTION II, expressed in terms of the Chebyshev polynomials.\u0000 Moreover, in that paper, it was conjectured that these two assumptions are always\u0000 satisfied, so the derived form of recursion is universally valid. In this paper, we\u0000 partially confirm this conjecture by showing that ASSUMPTION I is satisfied for rotation\u0000 patterns with a single gap of an arbitrary size.","PeriodicalId":37985,"journal":{"name":"Statistics in Transition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42049990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research shows that the chances of returning to\u0000 employment decrease with the length of the unemployment period. In the case of older\u0000 people who have not reached the statutory retirement age, these chances also depend on\u0000 the time they have left to retirement. Our study aims to assess the probability of\u0000 leaving unemployment for people aged 50-71 based on their characteristics and the length\u0000 of the unemployment period. We use data from the Labour Force Survey for 2019–2020. The\u0000 key factors determining employment status are identified using the proportional hazard\u0000 model. We take these factors into account and use the direct adjusted survival curve to\u0000 show how the probability of returning to work in Poland changes as people age. Due to\u0000 the fact that not many people take up employment around their retirement age, an\u0000 in-depth evaluation of the accuracy of predictions obtained via the models is crucial to\u0000 assess the results. Hence, in this paper, a time-dependent ROC curve is used. Our\u0000 results indicate that the key factor that influences the return to work after an\u0000 unemployment period in the case of older people in Poland is whether they reached the\u0000 age of 60. Other factors that proved important in this context are the sex and the\u0000 education level of older people.","PeriodicalId":37985,"journal":{"name":"Statistics in Transition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41292523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
