An important problem in frequency analysis is the estimation of the quantile for a certain return period. In frequency analysis an assumed probability distribution is fitted to the observed sample data to estimate the quantile at the upper tail corresponding to return periods which are usually much larger than the record length. In most cases, the selection of an appropriate probability distribution is based on goodness of fit tests. The goodness of fit test method can be described as a method for examining how well sample data agrees with an assumed probability distribution as its population. However it gives generally equal weight to differences between empirical and theoretical distribution functions corresponding to all the observations. In this study, the modified Anderson-Darling (AD) test statistics are provided using simulation and the power study are performed to compare the efficiency of other goodness of fit tests. The power test results indicate that the modified AD test has better rejection performances than the traditional tests. In addition, the applications to real world data are discussed and shows that the modified AD test may be a powerful test for selecting an appropriate distribution for frequency analysis when extreme cases are considered.

The most important procedure in frequency analysis is to determine the appropriate probability distribution and to estimate quantiles for a given return period. To perform the frequency analysis, the goodness-of-fit tests should be carried out for judging fitness between obtained data from empirical probability distribution and assumed probability distribution. The previous goodness-of-fit could not consider enough extreme events from the recent climate change. In this study, the critical values of the modified Anderson-Darling test statistics were derived for 3-parameter Weibull distribution and power test was performed to evaluate the performance of the suggested test. Finally, this method was applied to 50 sites in South Korea. The result shows that the power of modified Anderson-Darling test has better than other existing goodness-of-fit tests. Thus, modified Anderson-Darling test will be able to act as a reference of goodness-of-fit test for 3-parameter Weibull model.

기후변화는 강우량, 기온, 해수면온도 등 많은 수문기상학적 요소에 영향을 끼치고 있으며 이러한 영향에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 수공구조물의 설계에 직접적으로 영향을 끼치는 강우특성에 대한 연구는 기후변화로 야기되는 강우의 비정상성(non-stationary)을 중심으로 이루어지고 있다. 현재 수문설계량은 강우량의 빈도해석을 통해 산정되는데, 이러한 빈도해석은 기본적으로 연최대강우자료의 정상성(stationary)과 독립성(independent)을 가정하고 이루어진다. 그러나 기후변화로 연최대강우자료에 경향성이나 변동성이 나타남에 따라 경향성과 변동성을 고려할 수 있는 빈도해석 기법의 개발에 대한 필요성이 증가하고, 실제로 2000년대에 들어서면서부터 우리나라뿐만 아니라 전 세계적으로 이루어지고 있다. 연최대강우자료의 정상성을 판단하기 위해 강우자료에 대한 경향성 분석을 수행하게 되는데, 경향성 분석을 위해 다양한 통계적 기법들이 적용되고 있다. 그러나 현재 경향성 분석방법의 적용에 대한 뚜렷한 기준이 없어 여러 가지의 경향성 분석 방법을 적용하여 다수의 분석방법별 결과를 종합하여 경향성 유무를 판단하고 있는 실정이며, 동일자료에 대해서도 연구에 따라 다른 결과가 나타나고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 경향성 분석방법의 기각력을 비교검토하여 경향성 분석방법의 적용에 필요한 기준을 제시하고자 한다. 이를 위해 경향성 분석을 위해 널리 사용되고 있는 t-test, Mann-Kendall test, Hotelling-Pabst test를 비교하고자 한다. 여기에서 t-test는 매개변수를 사용하는 매개변수적 방법이고, Mann-Kendall test와 Hotelling-Pabst test는 비매개변수적 방법이다. 귀무가설의 경우 t-test는 경향성이 없다고 가정하고 있는데 반해, Mann-Kendall test와 Hotelling-Pabst test는 경향성이 있다고 가정하고 있다. 기각력 검토를 위해서는 Monte Carlo simulation을 이용하였다.

One of the important problem in statistical hydrology is to estimate the appropriated probability distribution for a given sample data. For the problem, a goodness-of-fit test is conducted based on the similarity between estimated probability distribution and assumed theoretical probability distribution. Probability plot correlation coefficient test (PPCC) is one of the goodness-of-fit test method. PPCC has high rejection power and its application is simple. In this study, test statistics of PPCC were derived for generalized extreme value distribution (GEV) models based on L-moments and these statistics were suggested by the multiple and nonlinear regression equations for its usability. To review the rejection power of the newly proposed method in this study, Monte Carlo simulation was performed with other goodness-of-fit tests including the existing PPCC test. The results showed that PPCC-A test which is proposed in this study demonstrated better rejection power than other methods, including the existing PPCC test. It is expected that the new method will be helpful to estimate the appropriate probability distribution model.

In October 2005, the Russian government started an investigation if safeguard measures against the importation of Korean sodium cyanide products could be taken. With Russia being a non-WTO member country, the Korean side found themselves in different situation from previous negotiation cases with developed or WTO member countries. Although several elements of trade negotiation theories such as goal setting, bargaining power, and relationship could apply, new constraints of limited information access and uncertainty of administrative procedures should be overcome. Combination of the governmental negotiation, assistance of the Russian consumer group, and the application of related laws led the Russian authority to dismiss the case. I suggest that there be some built-in channels for gathering information of non-WTO member countries.
