Abstract concepts in social research must use measurement tools that are assured of validity and reliability. Observation score derived by a measurement tool can be divided into a valid observation score, a biased observation score, and an error. The presence or absence of a biased value is associated with validity, and the presence or absence of an error value is associated with reliability. There are many techniques for seeing whether a measurement tool is valid and reliable. For example, there are construct validity using factor analysis and internal consistency based on the Cronbach alpha. In this study, the calculation of the Cronbach alpha is derived through a sample, so we suggest an estimator of the Cronbach alpha under complex sample design and nonresponse. In a simulation, the proposed method is compared with many other existing estimators of Cronbach alpha under a multivariate normal distribution.

The traditional methods for evaluating response surface designs are alphabetic optimality criteria. These single-number criteria such as D-, A-, G- and V-optimality do not completely reflect the prediction variance characteristics of the design in question. Alternatives to single-numbers summaries include graphical displays of the prediction variance across the design regions. We can suggest the animated quantile plots as the animation of the quantile plots and use these animated quantile plots for comparing and evaluating response surface designs.

반응표면실험계획들을 평가하기 위한 방법으로서 전형적인 방법이 알파벳최적화이다. 그러나 이러한 알파벳최적화(D-, A-, G-, V-최적화 등)는 하나의 수치이므로 그 유용성에도 불구하고 반응표면실험 계획들이 갖는 추정반응값분산의 분포에 대한 정보에 한계를 갖는다. 이를 극복하고자 하는 대안으로서 그래픽 방법들이 있는데 우리는 그 중에 분위수그림을 애니메이션화한 동적분위수그림을 제안할 수 있고 이 동적분위수그림을 이용하여 반응표면실험계획들이 갖는 추정반응값분산의 분포를 서로 비교, 평가 할 수 있다.

The roof tiles excavated from the mountain fortress at Namsan-ri Seocheon-gun in Chungnam province were dated by using SAR protocol, Sample preparation was done with the quartz exclusion method. The paleodoses from 6 kinds of roof tiles were obtained from OSL measurements and the does rates of the soil around the excavated roof tiles and the tile themselves were measured from ICP/MS and ICP/AES with the conversion table. From the evaluated paleodose and the dose rate, the age of the roof tiles were determined to be from(733 ± 50)AD to (1160 ± 50)AD and the error was less than 10%.

In this paper, it is proposed that the four channel electrode arrangement at a frontal lobe and the noise reduction method using a JADE for the EEG biofeedback system. The proposed electrode arrangement is based on the retina-cornea dipole model. Using JADE and signals which are acquired by the proposed arrangement, four independent components are separated. To estimate a pure EEG component among four components, it is measured that a ratio of alpha wave to the whole signal and then the component that has a maximum value is considered as a pure EEG which the noise is eliminated. As a result of experiments, the proposed methods are effective in reduction of noises during acquisition of the EEG.

A film colored overlay has been used as an assistive device for dyslexics, Recently, several virtual colored overlays which can be used in computer were developed. But existing virtual overlays have some drawbacks which have limited colors and limited control capability over overlapped window by the overlays. Limited colors may prevent optimum color selection and limited control capability can obstruct to transfer keyboard and mouse operation to the overlapped window. In this paper, we implemented an overlay function which controls an overlapped window under the overlay window by using keyboard hooking and tray icon. We propose a method to determine the source color of a virtual overlays by estimating alpha value of alpha blending algorithm through measurement of the chromaticity and transmissivity of film overlays and implemented all colors which we can produce colors by using Intuitive Overlays. Test results of the developed virtual overlay show that all mentioned drawbacks of existing virtual overlays were eliminated. Therefore we can employ a result of WRRT to use the developed overlays.

This study described a method of thermoluminescence dating of pottery shards using subtraction method. TL measurement was achieved using two different types of samples prepared by quartz inclusion method and fine-grain technique. Fine grains (size range: $5-10{\mu}m$) were separated by suspending grounded pottery samples into acetone solution and sedimentation quantitatively. In quartz inclusion method quartz grains in the size range of 90 to $125{\mu}m$ diameter were obtained by extracting the quartz crystals embed in the pottery shards and etching them with 1.0 M HF solutions. The archaeological dose of both the quartz and fine grains was determined from the dose calibration curves obtained from sequential irradiation of $^{137}Cs$ gamma and $^{241}Am$ alpha source to the samples and TL measurement of natural samples, in which the alpha dose of 4.60 Gy for the Packjae pottery was obtained using subtraction method. Annual alpha dose rates ($3.05{\pm}0.11$ mGy/yr.) were determined by the analysis of U, Th contents in the pottery shards and evaluation of the values with Bell's equation. Dividing the alpha dose accumulated in the pottery shards by the annual alpha dose rate, we found age of approximately $1508{\pm}80$ years B.P. (AD. ca. 492 yr.) for the Packjae pottery. It matches well with the archeological age estimate (middle of 5th century) within 10 percent uncertainty and thereby conforms the age of the pottery sample.

In this paper, we propose a novel tracking algorithm called slide window tracker (SWT) suitable for maneuvering target. To efficiently estimate trajectory of moving target, we adopt a sliding piecewise linear window which includes past trace information. By adjusting the window parameters, the proposed algorithm is to reduce measurement noise and to track fast maneuvering target with little computational increment as compared to ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ tracker. Throughout the computer simulations, we verify outstanding tracking performance of the SWT algorithm in noisy linear and nonlinear trajectories. Also, we show that the SWT algorithm is not sensitive to initial model parameter selection, which gives large degree of freedom in applying the SWT algorithm to unknown time-varying measurement environments.

This paper examines the relationship between idiosyncratic volatility(IVOL) puzzle and trading volumes by trader types in the Korean stock market. The data set includes all stock in both KRX and KOSDAQ for the period from January 1999 through December 2013. Idiosyncratic volatility is measured by using the Fama-French's three-factor model. Traders are classified into individual, institution, and foreign trader. We construct (5X5) portfolios based on each trader's net buying and idiosyncratic volatility. We find that there are some special portfolios that show the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle. For individual investors, top net buying portfolios show clear the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle. However, for institution and foreign investors, lowest net buying portfolio show the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle. This results imply that the idiosyncratic volatility puzzle in the Korean stock market is mainly caused by individual investors.
