In multinomial scheme with step-wise sampling, maximum likelihood estimates of multinomial probabilities are improved when some frequencies are merged. In this study, for cell probabilities in a I by J independent contingency tables, exact MLE and step-wise estimation methods are applied and the results are compared using MSE and Bias.

SAS의 PROC MIXED는 ANOVA 추정량보다 더 다양한 잔차최대우도추정법 또는 최대우도추정법으로 모수들을 추론할 수 있다. 혼합모형에 속하는 불균형중첩오차구조를 갖는 선형회귀모형에서 랜덤효과에 해당되는 그룹간의 분산과 고정효과에 해당되는 회귀계수들에 대한 신뢰구간을 구하기 위하여 대표본인 경우와 소표본인 경우에 대하여 PROC MIXED를 사용한다. 시뮬레이션을 실행한 결과, 대표본인 경우에는 모수들의 신뢰구간을 구하기 위하여 PROC MIXED를 활용할 수 있지만, 소표본인 경우에는 PROC MIXED를 사용할 경우, 그룹간 분산과 회귀계수 가운데 하나인 절편항에 대한 신뢰구간은 시뮬레이터된 신뢰계수가 명시한 신뢰계수를 지키지 못하는 것을 보인다.

PROC MIXED in SAS can be utilized to make inferences on parameters in a mixed model by use of Restricted Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method or Maximum Likelihood Estimation Method which has more merits than ANOVA method. A regression model with unbalanced nested error structure that belongs to a mixed model is used to construct confidence intervals on variances among groups, within groups, and regression coefficients in the model. PROC MIXED is applied to three different sample sizes for simulation. As a result of the simulation study, PROC MIXED generates confidence intervals on parameters that maintain the stated confidence coefficient in a large sample size. However, it does not generate confidence intervals that maintain the stated confidence coefficient for variance components among groups and intercept in a small sample size.

강우는 수자원 확보 측면에서 근원이 되는 요소이다. 그러므로 정확한 확률강우량 산정은 미래의 가용 수자원량을 예측하는데 있어 중요한 사항중 하나이며 무엇보다 신중한 결정이 요구된다. 또한 하천의 범람에 의한 침수를 예방하는 수공구조물 등의 설계에 있어서는 신뢰할 수 있는 확률강우량 산정이 선행되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 최근 우리나라 극치강우확률분포로서 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있는 GEV 분포(GEV-O)를 기반으로 위치 매개변수에 시간의 함수를 고려한 개선된 GEV 분포(GEV-A)를 이용하여 서울지점에 적용함으로서 GEV-O 분포에 의한 확률강우량과 GEV-A 분포로 산정된 확률강우량을 비교 검토하였다. 먼저 임의의 난수 발생을 통해 최우도추정법과 확률가중모멘트법으로 매개변수를 추정한 GEV-O 분포와 최우도추정법으로 매개변수를 추정한 GEV-A 분포의 상대평균제곱근오차 (R-RMSE)를 계산하여 비교함으로서 GEV-A 분포의 효율성을 판단하였다. 사례연구는 1961년부터 2008년까지 서울강우관측소에서 측정된 연최대 1일 강우량으로 하였으며 $X^2$-검정, PPCC-검정으로 적합도 검정을 실시하였다. 강우빈도분석 결과 GEV-A 분포가 GEV-O 분포로 산정된 결과 보다 대체로 재현기간 200년 이상일 경우, 과다 산정되는 경향을 보였다. 추후 개선된 GEV 분포를 서울 인근 지점에 적용함으로서 지역빈도해석(Regional Frequency Analysis)을 실행하기 위한 연구가 진행되어야 할 것이다. 또한 확률홍수량 산정 등에도 개선된 GEV 분포를 이용함으로서 보다 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 확률수문량을 예측하여야 할 것이다.

We provide a method to infer finger flexing motions using a 4-channel surface electromyogram (sEMG). Surface EMGs are harmless to the human body and easily acquired. However, they do not reflect the activity of specific nerves or muscles, unlike invasive EMGs. On the other hand, the non-invasive type is difficult to use for discriminating various motions while using only a small number of electrodes. Surface EMG data in this study were obtained from four electrodes placed around the forearm. The motions were the flexion of the thumb, index, middle, ring, and little linger. One subject was trained with these motions and another left was untrained. The maximum likelihood estimation was used to infer the finger motion. Experimental results have showed that this method could be useful for recognizing finger motions. The average accuracy was as high as 95%.

Missing values in time series can be treated as unknown parameters and estimated by maximum likelihood or as random variables and predicted by the expectation of the unknown values given the data. The purpose of this study is to impute missing values which are regarded as the maximum likelihood estimator and random variable in incomplete data and to compare with two methods using ARMA model. For illustration, the Mumps data reported from the national capital region monthly over the years 2001 ${\sim}$ 2006 are used, and results from two methods are compared with using SSF(Sum of square for forecasting error).

Diffusion is a mathematical tool to explain the fluctuation of financial assets and the movement of particles in a micro time scale. There are ongoing statistical trials to develop an estimation method for diffusion models based on likelihood. When we estimate diffusion models by applying the maximum likelihood estimation method on data observed at discrete time points, we need to know the transition density of the diffusion. In order to approximate the transition densities of diffusion models, we suggests the method to approximate the path integral of the random process with normal random variables, and compare the numerical properties of the method with other approximation methods.

The maximum likelihood estimation is not robust against outliers in the logistic regression. Thus we propose an algorithm for the robust estimation, which identifies the bad leverage points and vertical outliers by the V-mask type criterion, and then strives to dampen the effect of outliers. Our main finding is that, by an appropriate selection of weights and factors, we could obtain the logistic estimates with high breakdown point. The proposed algorithm is evaluated by means of the correct classification rate on the basis of real-life and artificial data sets. The results indicate that the proposed algorithm is superior to the maximum likelihood estimation in terms of the classification.

This study investigates the influence of various soil properties on the seismic performance of a three-span FCM bridge. Piers that are vulnerable to seismic vibration are identified through numerical study of plastic hinges possibly occurring at the top and bottom of the piers. The fragility curve is obtained as a lognormal distribution function with respect to peak ground acceleration(PGA). The median and logarithmic standard deviation, which are two parameters of a lognormal distribution function, are estimated using the maximum likelihood method. In order to consider the different soil properties of each support, an equivalent spring based on the Korean Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges(KSSHB) is adopted in this study. For seismic fragility analysis, the rotational ductility demands of bridge piers are used as a damage index of the structure.

A predictive model of wind speed in the wind farm has very important meanings. This paper presents an estimation model of wind speed based on time series analysis using the observed wind data at Hangyeong Wind Farm in Jeju island, and verification of the predictive model. In case of Hangyeong Wind Farm and Haengwon Wind Farm, The ARIMA(Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average) predictive model was appropriate, and the wind speed estimation model was developed by means of parametric estimation using Maximum likelihood Estimation.
