The power function in sample size determination has to be characterized by an appropriate statistical test for the hypothesis of interest. Nonparametric tests are suitable in the analysis of ordinal data or frequency data with ordered categories which appear frequently in the biomedical research literature. In this paper, we study sample size calculation methods for the Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test for one- and two-dimensional ordinal outcomes. While the sample size formula for the univariate outcome which is based on the variances of the test statistic under both null and alternative hypothesis perform well, this formula requires additional information on probability estimates that appear in the variance of the test statistic under alternative hypothesis, and the values of these probabilities are generally unknown. We study the advantages and disadvantages of different sample size formulas with simulations. Sample sizes are calculated for the two-dimensional ordinal outcomes of efficacy and safety, for which bivariate Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test is appropriate than the multivariate parametric test.

이 논문은 자본조달순위이론(pecking order theory)을 한국 유가증권시장에 상장된 제조기업을 대상으로 실증적 검정을 하였다. 설명변수로 기업의 자금부족(deficit)과 부채비율과의 관계를 분석한 결과 자본조달순위이론이 지지되는 결과를 얻지 못하였으며, 통제변수에 유형자산, 기업규모, 수익성 등 전통적인 자본구조영향요인 변수들을 포함시켜 분석한 결과, 정보비대칭이론에 의한 설명이 적합한 것으로 해석되었다. 유형자산이 증가할수록 부채비율은 감소하였고, 기업규모가 증가하면 레버리지가 감소하는 관계를 나타냈으며, 수익성이 증가함에 따라 부채비율이 감소하는 것으로 분석되었다. 직전년도의 부채규모가 높은 경우에는 당해 연도의 부채사용이 감소하고, 직전년도의 레버리지가 낮은 경우에는 당해 연도의 부채가 증가하는 평균회귀현상을 나타냈다.

Breiman, Friedman, Olshen and Stone(1984)의 전체탐색법에 의한 회귀나무는 상대적으로 많은 분리가 가능한 변수로 분리기준이 정해지는 편의 현상을 갖고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이런 문제점을 해결할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하여 변수선택편의가 없는 회귀나무를 만들고자 한다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 노드의 분리변수를 선택하는 단계와 그 선택된 변수에 의해 이진분리를 위한 분리점을 찾는 단계로 구성되어 있다. 예측변수 중에서 목표변수와 가장 밀접하게 연관된 예측변수는 예측변수의 자료의 종류에 따라 스피어만의 순위상관계수에 의한 검정 혹은 크루스칼-왈리스의 통계량에 의한 검정을 수행하여 가장 통계적으로 유의한 변수로 선택하였고, 선택된 변수에만 Breiman et al.(1984)의 전체선택법을 적용하여 분리점을 결정하였다. 모의실험을 통해 변수선택편의, 변수선택력 , 그리고 평균제곱오차 측면에서 Breiman et al. (1984)의 CART(Classification and Regression Trees)와 제안한 알고리즘을 서로 비교하였다. 또한, 두 알고리즘을 실제 자료에 적용하여 효율을 서로 비교하였다.

이 연구는 우리나라 상장 제조기업의 자본조달행태를 외환위기를 기준으로 구분하여 분석함으로써 자본조달순위이론의 타당성 여부를 탐색하였다. 최적자본구조의 존재여부와 결정요인을 탐색하는 정태적 자본구조이론과 달리 우선순위에 따라 자본조달을 한다고 제시된 것이 동태적 성격의 자본조달순위이론이다. 1981년부터 2002년까지 우리나라 상장 제조업의 패널자료를 이용하여 분석한 결과 현금흐름의 회귀계수가 일관성 있게 음(-)의 부호를 나타냈는데 이것은 우리나라 기업들이 대체로 자본조달순위이론과 같은 행태로 자본을 조달하는 것으로 해석된다. 총자산 수익률변수도 자본조달순위이론을 지지하는 결과를 보여주었으며 외환위기이전과 이후의 차이는 크지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

Within a basin, there are potentially multiple locations that can be used as a washland, given their relatively small size when compared with other hydraulic facilities such a dam. However, it is unreasonable to install washlands in all these potential locations due to economic and environmental considerations. In this study, a new methodology for determination of installation priority of washlands is presented. How to integrate the decision variables in this decision making problem has been a key issue in previous studies because a washland can provide many benefits such as flood reduction, agricultural benefit and recreational benefit. In particular, a methodology is needed to integrate all decision variables realistically, properly and reasonably, in situations where there is not sufficient data for direct integration of all these decision variables such as construction cost or benefits a washland can provide. This new methodology aims to suggest how to integrate methodologies used in previous studies. The suggested methodology uses four different rankings which are determined based on a flood reduction effect, a relative significance index, an economic analysis, and a space planning suitability index. These rankings are integrated to determine a final installation priority ranking of washlands by a multi-dimensional scaling method. The new methodology has been applied to the Anseong river basin, to show its applicability, and the application result compared with those of previous studies.

In this paper, we propose an enhanced usage parameter control algorithm, which is one of the preventive traffic control method in ATM networks. Proposed algorithm is based on the cell loss priority bit in the ATM cell header. This algorithm can eliminate the measurement phasing problem in cell conformance testing in ATM networks. Proposed algorithm can minimize the cell loss ratio of high priority cell(CLP = 0) and resolve the burstiness of cells which may be introduced in traffic multiplexing and demultiplexing procedure. For the performance evaluation, we simulate the proposed algorithm with discrete time input traffic model, the results show that the performance of proposed algorithm is better than that of ITU-T usage parameter control algorithm.

It has well known that an exhaustive search algorithm suggested by Breiman et. a1.(1984) has a trend to select the variable having relatively many possible splits as an splitting rule. We propose an algorithm to overcome this variable selection bias problem and then construct unbiased regression trees based on the algorithm. The proposed algorithm runs two steps of selecting a split variable and determining a split rule for binary split based on the split variable. Simulation studies were performed to compare the proposed algorithm with Breiman et a1.(1984)'s CART(Classification and Regression Tree) in terms of degree of variable selection bias, variable selection power, and MSE(Mean Squared Error). Also, we illustrate the proposed algorithm with real data sets.

Over 5 million people participate in cycle racing betting and its revenue is more than 2 trillion won. This study predicts the ranking of cycle racing using various statistical analyses and identifies important variables which have influence on ranking. We propose competitive ranking prediction models using various classification and regression methods. Our model can predict rankings with low misclassification rates most of the time. We found that the ranking increases as the grade of a racer decreases and as overall scores increase. Inversely, we can observe that the ranking decreases when the grade of a racer increases, race number four is given, and the ranking of the last race of a racer decreases. We also found that prediction accuracy can be improved when we use centered data per race instead of raw data. However, the real profit from the future data was not high when we applied our prediction model because our model can predict only low-return events well.

This study proposes a method to evaluate the level of 'soft-hard' of color quantitatively by evaluating the shape with edge sharpness automatically and by evaluating color in the color image scale in a drawing in art therapy using a computer. The dependent variable is the rank for the color experts to rate the level of 'soft-hard'. The mean and standard deviation of Value(V), and Chroma(C), colors, main color, clusters, length of edge, and sharp line rate of edge are considered as the independent variable. The appropriate independent variables to explain the dependent variable are selected through the step wise regression analysis. The inter-rater reliability of two raters is checked and the validity of developed system is verified by the rank correlations coefficient between the ranks of rater's and system's. This system can be used to evaluate of the shape or color in a drawing objectively and quantitatively for art therapy assessment, and to give the useful information to the fashion, textile, interior industry as well as color psychology and art therapy.
