This paper has investigated disease structure and pattern against 9,955 (34.6%) elderly patients aged 60 or older at 'K' University Hospital from January 1 to December 31, 2007 through canonical correlation analysis. According to this investigation, the variable with the biggest correlation coefficient has been whether or not surgery has been performed. Since the aged are weaker than the young physically and mentally in general, a surgical operation has been considered. I hope that the result of this paper would be used as basic data for establishment of systematic geriatric health program and disease statistics.

The decathlon is an athletic event consisting of ten track and field events. Events are held over two consecutive days and the winners are determined by the combined performance in all. We considered the best 200 decathletes who competed in the recent Olympics games and World Championship decathlon. We have used correspondence analysis to identify the relationship between ordered individual performance and the overall performance. Canonical correlation analysis of first day events versus second day events could shed light on the change of the level of performance between the two days. Correlation analysis was used to verify relation between cumulative event rank and final decathlon rank. Therefore, we conclude that the decathlon favors those atheletes who do well at the track events to become the best players. The best players in the decathlon performed relatively poorly in the 1,500 metres, but did well in the long jump, the 400 metres and the 110-metre hurdles. Decathletes in this study have a positive correlation between overall performance and maximal excellence in a particular discipline. Thus, to compete successfully at this level, a uniform, relatively high performance in all individual disciplines is required.

This paper empirically analyzes the relationship among the perception variables on the EU and Korea-EU FTA. According to the empirical results, first of all, while Korean university students understand the importance of EU less than those in the US or Japan, they understand the importance of EU more those in China. The understanding and importance of Korea-EU FTA are measured somewhat lower than Korea-US FTA. Second, Contingency Tables show that there exist some associated relationships between the sex and the understanding of the regions, and Korean university students have some differences in understanding the importance of the EU by sex. ANOVA shows that the more they understand the EU and recognize the importance of Korea-EU FTA, they recognize that the Korea-EU FTA's contribution to Korean economy and EU's & EURO's contribution to world economy will be bigger. Third, the cannonical correlation test shows that by the academic grade and sex there are some significant differences in understanding the importance of the EU and main countries and regions. The discriminant analysis shows that there exist some differences in recognizing the contribution of Korea-EU FTA's to Korean economy.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between thinking style and learning style of gifted children in elementary school. The subjects were 178 fourth, fifth and sixth grade elementary school students who enrolled in gifted education program. They were given the Thinking Style Questionnaire and the Grasha Reichmann Student Learning Style Questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and canonical correlation analysis were performed. Results indicated that gifted students prefer legislative, judical, liberal, local, hierarchic, external thinking styles known to be related to creative and critical thinking rather than executive and conventional styles. Meanwhile, in the aspect of learning style, independent learning style than the dependent learning style, competitive style than the collaborative style, and participatory style than the avoiding style were significantly scored higher. The canonical analysis showed that thinking styles and learning styles share 59%(Rc=.77) each other, indicating the two variables had significant close relationship. External, liberal, hierarchic, judical, executive, and liberal thinking styles in the order named showed higher cross loading in the independent variable set, likewise independent, participatory, collaborative, and competitive learning styles in the dependant variable set. The results indicate that the external, liberal, hierarchic, judical, executive, and liberal thinking styles can be the significant predictors of independent, participatory, collaborative, and competitive learning styles. The implications of the study related to the gifted education were discussed in depth.

The research study focuses to analyze the result of the military personnel medical examination and identify the medical conditions of military individuals. The results of this study are as follows. First of all, for the general features of research subjects, there are 60 people who are 39-year-old or less and 60 people in the age of 40-year-old or over of the total 120 research subjects. Secondly, as a result of canonical correlation analysis in between their ages/body mass index(BMI) and the outcomes of medical examination, it derived 3 canonical functions. 2 of the functions out of the 3 demonstrated statistical significance. The research has conjured meaningful results which include that the holistic diagnosis and treatment system for the military officers needs additional enhancement. Also the medical examination is in desperate need of expansion in test items and the associated budget planning should be evaluated in government organizations related to welfare policy.

This study relates to the procedures and the attitude of dental technicians. In order to identify the attitude factors which have influence on the job satisfaction and the organizational commitment, self-administered questionnares were distributed by mail to 504 technicians randomlyselected from 482 dental laboratories registered in Korean Dental Lab. Association from February 6 to February 27, 1987. The following results were obtained: 1. Canonical correlation between the group of general variables and the group of job satisfactional variables was significant statistically as Rc=0.48. But canonical correlation between the group of general variables and the group of organizational commitment variables was insignificant statistically as Rc=0.37. 2. Canonical correlation between the group of job characteristic variables and the group of job satisfactional variables was highly significant statistically as Rc=0.69. Wage propriety, promotion opportunity and benefits propriety were highly influential factors among the job characteristic variables. 3. Canonical correlation between the group of job characteristic variables and the group of organizational commitment variables was highly significant statistically as Rc=0.61. Wage propriety, promotion opportunity of acquiring technique and duty importance were highly influential factors among the job characteristic variables. 4. The job characteristic variables which had influence on the job satisfaction varied statistically according to the general variables. in case of age, technical career, academic career and duty, the job characteristic variable was wage propriety and the business relations. 5. The job characteristic variables which had influence on the organizational commitment varied statistically according to the general variables. The case of male was applicable to wage propriety, the case of female was applicable to benefits propriety, the case of dental technicians who were less than 30 years old was applicable to wage propriety, the case of dental technicians who had more than 5 years technical career was applicable to monotonousness. 6. The most influential factor was wage propriety among job characteristic variables which influenced on the job satisfaction and the organizational commitment of dental technicians.

The fashion apparel industries have demanded to be extremely consumer-oriented. Therefore, the need of personalization arises. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between apparel shopping orientation and various personalization strategies provided in the apparel shopping process. A total of 422 questionnaires were used for statistical analysis. Canonical correlation and ANOVA were conducted. Results indicated that higher level of demand for "sale-promotion personalization" and "personalized customer relationship" were significantly related to high level of fashion innovativeness and price consciousness. Consumers who seek for high level of "personalized advice" and "personalized fit" were likely to be price conscious and conforming to clothing but not innovative in terms of fashion and clothing. Shopping orientation group differences were also reported in the study. In personalizing of apparel products, distinctive but relevant strategies should be implemented according to the need of the consumers.

The purpose of this research is to find out how the characteristics of healthy lifestyle and wine selection influence each other, and how healthy life and wine selection themselves influence the overall satisfaction of wine. The data collected for this study was taken from a sample of 285 persons during the period of August 29, 2013 to September 29, 2013. Extrapolating from the data, three different characteristics of a healthy lifestyle were identified: health confidence, health sensibility and a desire for good health. Three different characteristics of wine selection were also identified: wine label, wine experience and wine recommendation. The relations of influence between healthy lifestyle and wine selecting attributes were analysed through canonical correlation and regression analysis. This report concludes that healthy lifestyle and wine selection strongly influence each other and their combination has a significant influence on the satisfaction of wine. Among the different healthy lifestyle characteristics identified, the desire for good health was the primary factor that significantly influenced wine satisfaction. With regard to wine selection, the label of wine and experience of wine were the primary factors that significantly influenced wine satisfaction.

The existing pattern-based triple generation systems based on distant supervision could be flawed by assumption of distant supervision. For resolving flaw from an excessive assumption, statistics information has been commonly used for measuring confidence of patterns in previous studies. In this study, we proposed a more accurate confidence measure based on semantic similarity between patterns and properties. Unsupervised learning method, word embedding and WordNet-based similarity measures were adopted for learning meaning of words and measuring semantic similarity. For resolving language discordance between patterns and properties, we adopted CCA for aligning bilingual word embedding models and a translation-based approach for a WordNet-based measure. The results of our experiments indicated that the accuracy of triples that are filtered by the semantic similarity-based confidence measure was 16% higher than that of the statistics-based approach. These results suggested that semantic similarity-based confidence measure is more effective than statistics-based approach for generating high quality triples.
