This study is concerned with an analytic derivation of the probability density function applicable for wave heights in finite water depth using two different methods. As the first method of the study, a probability density function is developed by applying a series of polynomials which is orthogonal with respect to Rayleigh probability density function. The newly derived probability density function is compared with the histogram constructed from wave data obtained in finite water depth which indicate strong non-Gaussian characteristics. Although the probability density represents the histogram very well. it has negative density at large values. Although the magnitude of the negative density is small. it negates the use of the distribution function fer estimating extreme values. As the second method of the study, a probability density function of wave height is developed by applying the maximum entropy method. The probability density function thusly derived agrees very well with the wave height distribution in shallow water, and appears to be useful in estimating extreme values and statistical properties of wave heights in finite water depth. However, a functional relationship between the probability distribution and the non-Gaussian characteristics of the data cannot be obtained by applying the maximum entropy method.

In this paper the change point problem of the error terms in linear regression models is considered. Since fixed or stochastic independent variables and weakly dependent errors are assumed, usual multiple regression models and time series models including ARMA are covered. We use the estimates of probability density function based on residuals in order to test the distribution change of the unobserved errors. Under some mild conditions, the test using the residuals is proved to have the same limiting distribution as the test based on true errors.

Tracking and detecting targets by the microwave seeker is affected by the clutter reflecting from the earth's surface. In order to detect retreating targets in look-down scenario, which appear in the sidelobe clutter (SLC) region, in the microwave seeker of high pulse repetition frequency (HPRF) mode, it is necessary to understand statistical characteristics of the surface SLC. Statistical analysis of SLC has been conducted for several kinds of the surface using data obtained by the captive flight test of the microwave seeker in the HPRF mode. The probability density function (PDF) fitting is conducted for several kinds and conditions of the surface. PDFs and PDF parameters, which best describe statistical distribution of the SLC power, are estimated. By using the estimated PDFs and PDF parameters, analyses for setting the target-detection thresholds, which give a desired level of target-detection false alarm probability, are made. These analysis materials for statistical characteristics of SLC power and the target-detection threshold can be used in various fields, such as development of a target-detection method, the constant false alarm rate processing.

평균-분산 기준보다 우수한 기준이라고 할 수 있는 평균-지니 기준은 위험회피 정도를 고려할 수 있는 확장된 평균-지니 기준으로 확장되면서 선물시장에서의 헤지모형에 도입되어 분포특성과는 무관하게 헤지비율의 특성을 분석할 수 있다는 측면에서 관심의 대상이 되었다. 그러나 확장된 평균-지니 기준을 실제로 적용하기 위해서는 확장된 지니평차를 계산가능한 형태로 변환해야 하는 문제와, 수익률의 누적확률 값을 추정해야 하는 문제점이 있다. 누적확률 값을 추정하는 방법으로 수익률의 분포함수와는 관계없이 순위에 의한 방법이 이용되었다. 본 연구에서는 실제로 분포의 확률밀도함수를 이용해서 누적확률을 계산하는 경우와 순위를 이용해 추정하는 방법을 비교함으로써 순위방법의 정확성을 평가하고자 하였으며, 확장된 지니평차를 실제로 계산하는 데 있어서의 문제점도 검토하였다. 이러한 검토를 통해 확장된 평균-지니 기준을 헤지 모형에 도입하여 활용하는 것의 현실적 유용성을 종합적으로 평가하고자 하였다. 분석결과 확장된 지니평차의 계산을 위해 변형한 식에 대한 정밀한 검토가 필요하다는 점과, 확장된 지니평차를 헤지모형에 적용하기 위해서는 누적확률을 정확하게 계산하는 문제의 해결이 선행되어야 한다는 점을 밝힐 수 있었다.

This paper considers a probability density estimation problem of climate values. In particular, we focus on estimating probability densities of summer extreme temperature over South Korea. It is known that the probability density of climate values at one location is similar to those at near by locations and one doesn't follow well known parametric distributions. To accommodate these properties, we use a mixture of conditional autoregressive species sampling model, which is a nonparametric Bayesian model with a spatial dependency. We apply the model to a dataset consisting of summer maximum temperature and minimum temperature over South Korea. The dataset is obtained from University of East Anglia.

A level set tree provides a useful representation of a multidimensional density function. Visualizing the data structure as a tree offers many advantages for data analysis and clustering. In this paper, we present a level set tree estimation algorithm for use with a set of data points. The proposed algorithm creates a level set tree from a family of level sets estimated over a whole range of levels from zero to infinity. Instead of estimating density function then thresholding, we directly estimate the density level sets using one-class support vector machines (OC-SVMs). The level set estimation is facilitated by the OC-SVM solution path algorithm. We demonstrate the proposed level set tree algorithm on benchmark data sets.

In this research, design precipitation was calculated by reflecting the climatic indices and its uncertainty assessment was evaluated. Climatic indices used the sea surface temperature and moisture index which observed globally. The correlation coefficients were calculated between the annual maximum precipitation and the climatic indices. and then climatic indices which have the larger correlation coefficient were selected. Therefore, the regression relationship was established by a locally weighted polynomial regression. Next, climatic indices were generated by montecarlo simulation using kernel function. Finally, the design rainfall was calculated by the locally weighted polynomial regression using generated climatic indices. At the result, the comparison of design rainfall between the reflection of the climatic indices and the frequency analysis did not indicate a significant difference. Also, this result can be used as basic data for calculation of probability precipitation to reflect climate change.

본 연구에서는 유입량의 불확실성을 고려하여 미래 저수량을 확률론적으로 예측하였다. 월별 유입량을 표본으로 한 확률밀도함수를 핵밀도함수(kernel function)를 이용하여 추정하고, 추정된 확률분포로 월별 유입량을 모의 발생하였다. 모의 발생된 유입량을 통해 연속적인 조건부 확률을 산정하였고, 이의 누적확률분포(F(x))는 해당 저수량에 도달하지 못할 확률, 즉 실패확률을 의미하므로 1-F(x)로 해당 저수량 이상을 확보할 수 있는 확률을 산정하였다. 보령댐을 대상으로 분석한 결과 2016년 2월 말 저수량 27.8 백만$m^3$ 기준으로 3월부터 6월까지 정상용수공급환원 기준 저수량을 만족할 확률이 각각 2.3%, 12.5%, 24.2%, 33.5%로 나타났다. 지역적 가뭄에 대응하기 위해 하천유지용수 감량, 용수 대체공급, 자율 급수조정 및 금강-보령댐 도수로를 이용한 용수공급으로 20.6만$m^3/day$의 용수가 비축될 경우, 정상용수공급환원 기준 저수량을 만족할 확률이 10.2%, 40.3%, 73.8%, 78.7%로 용수비축의 효과가 크게 나타나는 것을 확인하였다. 저수량의 확률론적 예측을 통해 미래 저수량의 확률적 발생가능성을 추정할 수 있으며, 가뭄이 발생할 경우, 가뭄 대응효과를 정량적으로 나타낼 수 있어 가뭄 위험 상황 전달 및 용수공급조정 의사결정 시 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

When the regression function is discontinuous at a point, the variance function is usually discontinuous at the point. In this case, we had better propose a test for the existence of a discontinuity point with the regression function rather than the variance function. In this paper we consider that the variance function only has a discontinuity point. We propose a nonparametric test for the existence of a discontinuity point with the second moment function since the variance function and the second moment function have the same location and jump size of the discontinuity point. The proposed method is based on the asymptotic distribution of the estimated jump size.
