The method of nonlinear parameter estimation(NPE), which is a statistical and an inverse method, is used to estimate the thermal diffusivity of the porous insulation material. In order to apply the NPE method for measuring the thermal diffusivity, and algorithm for programing suitable to IBM personal computer is established, and is studied the statistical treatment of experimental data and theory of estimation. The experimental data obtained by discrete measurement using a constant heat flux technique are used to find the boundary conditions, initial conditions, and the thermal diffusivity, and then the final values are compared with the values obtained by some different methods. The results are presented as follows:(1) NPE method is used to establish the estimation of the thermal diffusivity and compared results with experimental output shows, that this method can be applicable to define the thermal diffusivity without considering hear flux types. (2) Because of all of the temperatures obtained by the discrete measurement on each steps of time are used to estimate the thermal diffusivity. Although some error in the temperature measurements of temperature are included in estimating process, its influences on the final value are minimzed in NPE method. (3) NPE method can reduce the experimental time including the time of data collecting in a few minutes and can take smaller specimen compared with steady state method. If the tube-type furnace is used, also the adjusting time of surrounding temperature can be reduced.

It is necessary for the ship dynamic models to realize ship dynamics and to achieve the real-time analysis in the manoeuvring simulation. Generally, simple dynamic models, such as 1st-order differential equation models of turning angle, turning rate, and forward speed, are used in the manoeuvring simulation for multiple ships. Ship dynamic modeling and parameter estimation methods based on its turning test results are proposed in this paper. Parameter estimation methods for the constant speed model and the speed-changing model are mathematically developed and verified by comparing with turning test results of a real ship.

It is essential to know the information about the prior model for wavelet coefficients, the probability distribution of noise, and the variance of wavelet coefficients for noise reduction using Bayesian estimation in wavelet domain. In general denoising methods, the signal variance is estimated from the proper prior model for wavelet coefficients. In this paper, we propose a variable window size decision algorithm to estimate signal variance according to image region. Simulation results shows the proposed method have better PSNRs than those of the state of art denoising methods.

In general, wavelet coefficients are composed of a few large coefficients and a lot of small coefficients. In this paper, we propose image denoising algorithm using Bernoulli-Gaussian mixture model based on sparse characteristic of wavelet coefficient. The Bernoulli-Gaussian mixture is composed of the multiplication of Bernoulli random variable and Gaussian mixture random variable. The image denoising is performed by using Bayesian estimation. We present an effective denoising method through simplified parameter estimation for Bernoulli random variable using local expected squared error. Simulation results show our method outperforms the states-of-art denoising methods when using orthogonal wavelets.

Random Coefficient Autoregressive models (RCA) have attracted increased interest due to the wide range of applications in biology, economics, meteorology and finance. We consider an RCA as an appropriate model for non-linear properties and better than an AR model for linear properties. We study the methods of RCA parameter estimation. Especially we proposed the special case that an random coefficient ${\phi}(t)$ has the initial value ${\phi}(0)$ in the RCA model. In practical study, we estimated the parameters and compared Prediction Error Sum of Squares (PRESS) criterion between AR and RCA using Korean Mumps data.

In most of cases, the wall friction coefficients applied for local tunnel design are quoted directly from foreign data or local design guideline. In the previous studies, the wall friction coefficient was estimated using the velocity decay method. However, it is difficult to estimate the wall friction coefficient when the convergence wind velocity in the tunnel is negative (-) or if there is a change in the natural wind. Therefore, in this study, the wall friction coefficient is estimated by applying the dynamic simulation technique in addition to the conventional the velocity decay method. As a result of the analysis, the coefficient of wall friction in the tunnels for the total of 9 tunnels (18 tubes both directions) was 0.011~0.025, and the mean value was estimated to be 0.020. In addition, the wall friction coefficient obtained quantitatively through this study was compared with the current design criteria.

Several non-destructive test methods have been developed to estimate compressive strength of concrete in other countries. However, their applications are limited in domestic concrete due to their inaccuracies. The purpose of this study is to propose an aging coefficient of compressive strength of structural concrete in rebound number method and ultrasonic pulse velocity method for domestic concrete. The test variables include type of aggregate, curing condition, and compressive strength. Two approaches are used to estimate aging coefficient. One is evaluated by uniform linear regression equation for all ages and shows uniform strength reduction coefficient regardless of material properties and the other is evaluated by individual regression equation for each ages and shows nonuniform strength reduction and rebound increasing coefficients which decrease with increasing of rebound number and compressive strength. The latter result which can include the effect of rebound number and compressive strength is more resonable than the former.

An extended Kalman filter (EKF) algorithm for estimating aerodynamic parameters from missile flight data is evaluated using simulated test data. The algorithm includes a general purpose 6-DOF missile airframe suitable for representing a variety of missile configurations. The EKF is demonstrated to be well suited as a postflight analysis tool for extracting large numbers of airframe parameters from flight test measurements. A structure identification algorithm is evaluated using synthetic measurement data. This algorithm used in conjunction with the parameter identification algorithm, can select that model from a family of candidate models which most likely produced the synthetic measurement data.

In general, almost information is stored in only a few wavelet coefficients. This sparse characteristic of wavelet coefficient can be modeled by the mixture of Gaussian probability density function and point mass at zero, and denoising for this prior model is peformed by using Bayesian estimation. In this paper, we propose a method of parameter estimation for denoising using hypothesis-testing problem. Hypothesis-testing problem is applied to variance of wavelet coefficient, and $X^2$-test is used. Simulation results show our method outperforms about 0.3dB higher PSNR(peak signal-to-noise ratio) gains compared to the states-of-art denoising methods when using orthogonal wavelets.
