Continuous probability distribution was one of the mathematics concept that students had difficulty. This study analyzed the definition and introduction of the continuous probability distribution under the 2009-revised curriculum and 2015-revised curriculum. In this study, the following subjects were studied. Firstly, definitions of continuous probability variable in 'Probability and Statistics' textbook developed under the 2009-revised curriculum and 2015-revised curriculum were analyzed. Secondly, introductions of continuous probability distribution in 'Probability and Statistics' textbook developed under the 2009-revised curriculum and 2015-revised curriculum were analyzed. The results of this study were as follows. First, 8 textbooks under the 2009-revised curriculum defined the continuous probability variable as probability variable with all the real values within a range or an interval. And 1 textbook under the 2009-revised curriculum defined the continuous probability variable as probability variable when the set of its value is uncountable. But all textbooks under the 2015-revised curriculum defined the continuous probability variable as probability variable with all the real values within a range. Second, 4 textbooks under the 2009-revised curriculum and 4 textbooks under 2015-revised curriculum introduced a continuous random distribution using an uniformly distribution. And 5 textbooks under the 2009-revised curriculum and 5 textbooks under the 2015-revised curriculum introduced a continuous random distribution using a relative frequency density.

One of the reasons students have difficulty in studying probability is that they do not understand the meaning of mathematical terms precisely. One such term is a continuous random variable. Students tend not to think of the accurate definition of continuous random variables but to understand the definition of continuity of functions and the meaning of continuity in probability as equal. In this study, we try to explore the degree of pre-service teachers' understanding on the concept of continuation of functions and continuous random variables. To do this, the questionnaire items related to continuous random variables and continuity of functions were developed by experts and examined by pre-service teachers. Based on this, we make suggestions on implications for teaching and learning about continuous random variables.

In school mathematics, concepts of definite integral and integration by substitution have mathematical connection with introduction of probability density function, expectation of continuous random variable, and standardization of normal distribution. However, we have difficulty in finding mathematical connection between integration and continuous probability distribution in the curriculum manual, 13 kinds of 'Basic Calculus and Statistics' and 10 kinds of 'Integration and Statistics' authorized textbooks, and activity books applied to the revised curriculum. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a teaching method connected with mathematical concepts of integral in regard to three concepts in continuous probability distribution chapter-introduction of probability density function, expectation of continuous random variable, and standardization of normal distribution. To find mathematical connection between these three concepts and integral, we analyze a survey of student, the revised curriculum manual, authorized textbooks, and activity books as well as 13 domestic and 22 international statistics (or probability) books. Developed teaching method was applied to actual classes after discussion with a professional group. Through these steps, we propose the result by making suggestions to revise curriculum or change the contents of textbook.

In this study, we propose a new method for generating candidate solutions based on the Cauchy probability distribution in order to complement the shortcoming of the solutions generated by the normal distribution. The Cauchy probability distribution has infinite mean and variance, and it has rather large probability in the tail region relative to the normal distribution. Thus, the Cauchy distribution can yield higher probabilities of generating candidate solutions of large-varied variables, which in turn has an advantage of searching wider area of variable space. In order to compare and analyze the performance of the proposed method against the conventional method, we carried out an experiment using benchmarking problems of real valued function. From the result of the experiment, we found that the proposed method based on the Cauchy distribution outperformed the conventional one for all benchmarking problems, and verified its superiority by the statistical hypothesis test.

연속 변수 함수 최적화를 위한 진화 연산에서는 전통적으로 확률 분포를 도입하여 새로운 세대를 생성하는 기법을 사용하고 있다. 최근 들어 이러한 확률 분포를 개체군으로부터 추정하여 보다 효율적으로 최적화를 해결하려는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 variational 베이지안 혼합 인자 분석 기법(Bayesian mixtures of factor analyzers)을 사용한 개체군의 분포 추정을 통해 연속 변수 함수의 최적화 문제를 해결하는 방법을 제안한다. 이 기법은 혼합 분포의 개수 추정을 자동화하여 개체군의 다양성을 유지할 수 있기 때문에 지역 최적점으로 일찍 수렴하는 현상을 방지할 수 있으며, 세부 개체군 내의 분포 추정을 통해 탐색을 효율적으로 수행할 수 있다. 잘 알려진 평가 함수들에 대하여 다른 분포 추정 진화 연산과 비교하여 제안하는 방법의 우수성을 검증하였다.

통계학의 수리론을 전개한 우리의 저서가 별로 없는 터에 윤기중교수의 '수리통계학'이 박영사를 통하여 간행되었다. 이책은 미적분에 관한 수학지식으로 능히 독파할 수 있도록 순차적으로 차분하게 기술되어 있다. 집합론의 개념에서부터 시작하여 확률론의 기초사항을 친절하게 설명하고 연속확률변수의 분포, 확률표본, 점추정, 다변량정규분포, 각종 통계량의 분포, 통계적 가설검정, 구간추정, 그리고 끝으로 회귀와 상관분석에 이르기까지 각종항목에 걸쳐서 통계학이론이 빠짐없이 기술되어 있다.

항공기가 평형상태로 비행하는 도중 돌풍과 같은 외부교란을 만난 교란상태운동은 선형화된 미분방정식으로 표현되며 비교적 짧은 비행시간동안의 비행은 선형시 불변계가 된다. 돌풍은 Gauss-Markov확률과정으로 모델링 되며, 항공기가 돌풍을 만난 교란상태운동은 시스템론적으로 보면 백색잡음이 성형필터를 거쳐 계에 입력되는 것과 같다. 초기의 설계방법은 고전적인 주파수영역에서의 해석방법을 사용하였으나 1960년대에 최적제어이론이 도입되면서 평가함수를 사용하여 원하는 비행특성을 얻는 방법을 사용하게 되었다. 그 후 계에 입력되는 외란과 측정시의 잡음으로 인한 불확실한 측정량으로부터 최적상태변수의 추정을 위해 필터링이론을 도입한 확률제어이론을 적용하여 자동조종장치를 설계하게 되었다. 이때까지는 연속제어계로 설계되었으며 그 후 측정신호를 샘플링하여 연속제어계와 등가의 이산제어계를 사용한 자동조종장치가 등장하였으며 이 경우 설계기법으로는 연속제어계를 사용하고 실현시킬 때는 디지털컴퓨터를 사용하였다. 이는 제어하는 동안 계의 계수와 제어법칙을 바꾸어 줄 수 있는 이산제어계의 장점을 이용하지 못하므로 처음부터 계를 등가의 이산계로 보고 제어계를 설계하는 방법이 도입되었다. 이 때 샘플링간격의 결정과 Quantization 영향이 설계시 고려되어야 한다.

본 논문에서는 확률분포가 알려져 있지 않은 두 모집단 중 어느 하나로 새로운 관측치를 분류할 때 오분류확률이 분석자에 의해 사전에 정해진 수준에 부합할 수 있도록 커널 판별함수의 임계치를 결정하였다. 정해진 오분류확률을 만족시키기 위한 판별함수의 임계치는 붓스트랩(bootstrap)기법을 판별 함수에 적용시켜 계산된다. 본 논문에서 제시도된 방법은 모집단에 대한 모수적 가정이 없으므로 어느 분포에도 적용가능하며, 모집단이 정규분포, 대수정규분포, 이산형과 연속형 변수가 혼합된 분포의 경우 모의실험을 통하여 그 성능에 대한 검증을 하였다.

This paper develops an intertemporal general equilibrium model of asset pricing with taxes under the noisy and the incomplete information structure and examines theoretically the stochastic behavior of general equilibrium asset prices in a one-good, production, and exchange economy in continuous time markets. The important features of the model are its integration of real and financial markets and the analysis of the effects of differential tax rates between ordinary income and capital gains. The model developed here can provide answers to a wide variety of questions about stochastic structure of asset prices and the effect of tax on them.

This study is about the k-nearest neighbor-based approach for the estimation of mutual information when the type of target variable is categorical and continuous. The results of Monte-Carlo simulation and experiments with real-world data show that k=1 is preferable. In practical application with real world data, our study shows that jittering and bootstrapping is needed.
