We are concerned with the following elliptic equations: $$\{(-{\Delta})^s_pu={\lambda}f(x,u)\;{\text{in {\Omega}}},\\u=0\;{\text{on {\mathbb{R}}^N{\backslash}{\Omega}},$$ where λ are real parameters, (-∆)^s_p is the fractional p-Laplacian operator, 0 < s < 1 < p < + ∞, sp < N, and f : Ω × ℝ → ℝ satisfies a Carathéodory condition. By applying abstract critical point results, we establish an estimate of the positive interval of the parameters λ for which our problem admits at least one or two nontrivial weak solutions when the nonlinearity f has the subcritical growth condition. In addition, under adequate conditions, we establish an apriori estimate in L^∞(Ω) of any possible weak solution by applying the bootstrap argument.

We present the environmental dependence of the luminosity-size relation of galaxies in the local universe (z < 0.01) along with their dependence on galaxy morphology represented by five broad types (E, dEs, S0, Sp, and Irr). The environmental parameters we consider are the local background density and the group/cluster membership together with the clustercenteric distance for the Virgo cluster galaxies. We derive the regression coefficient (${\beta}$), i.e., the slope of the line representing the least-squares fitting to the data and the Pearson correlation coefficient (c.c.) representing the goodness of the least-squares fit along with the confidence interval from bootstrap resampling. We find no significant dependence of the luminosity-size relation on galaxy morphology. However, there is a weak dependence of the luminosity-size relations on the environment of galaxies, in the sense that galaxies in the low density environment have shallower slopes than galaxies in the high density regions except for elliptical galaxies that show an opposite trend.

ANOVA is widely, used for measurement system analysis. It assumes that the measurement error is normally distributed, which nay not be seen in some industrial cases. In this study the estimates of the measurement system variability and PTR (precision-to-tolerance ratio) are obtained by using weighted standard deviation for the case where the measurement error is non-normally distributed. The Standard Bootstrap method is used foy estimating confidence intervals of measurement system variability and PTR. The point and confidence interval estimates for the cases with normally distributed measurement error are compared to those with non-normally distributed measurement errors through computer simulation.

An asymmetric least squares estimation method has been employed to estimate linear models for percentile regression. An asymmetric maximum likelihood estimation (AMLE) has been developed for the estimation of Poisson percentile linear models. In this study, we propose generalized nonlinear percentile regression using the AMLE, and the use of the parametric bootstrap method to obtain confidence intervals for the estimates of parameters of interest and smoothing functions of estimates. We consider three conditional distributions of response variables given covariates such as normal, exponential, and Poisson for three mean functions with one linear and two nonlinear models in the simulation studies. The proposed method provides reasonable estimates and confidence interval estimates of parameters, and comparable Monte Carlo asymptotic performance along with the sample size and quantiles. We illustrate applications of the proposed method using real-life data from chemical and radiation epidemiological studies.

Purpose: To investigate biomechanical properties of the cornea using a dynamic Scheimpflug analyzer according to age. Materials and Methods: In this prospective, cross-sectional, observational study, participants underwent ophthalmic investigations including corneal biomechanical properties, keratometric values, intraocular pressure (IOP), and manifest refraction spherical equivalent (MRSE). We determined the relationship of biomechanical parameters and ocular/systemic variables (participant's age, MRSE, IOP, and mean keratometric values) by piecewise regression analysis, association of biomechanical parameters with variables by Spearman's correlation and stepwise multiple regression analyses, and reference intervals (RI) by the bootstrap method. Results: This study included 217 eyes of 118 participants (20-81 years of age). Piecewise regression analysis between Corvis-central corneal thickness (CCT) and participant's age revealed that the optimal cut-off value of age was 45 years. No clear breakpoints were detected between the corneal biomechanical parameters and MRSE, IOP, and mean keratometric values. Corneal velocity, deformation amplitude, radius, maximal concave power, Corvis-CCT, and Corvis-IOP exhibited correlations with IOP, regardless of age (all ages, 20-44 years, and over 44 years). With smaller deformation amplitude and corneal velocity as well as increased CorvisIOP and Corvis-CCT, IOP became significantly increased. We provided the results of determination of confidence interval from RI data using bootstrap method in three separate age groups (all ages, 20-44 years, and over 44 years). Conclusion: We demonstrated multiple corneal biomechanical parameters according to age, and reported that the corneal biomechanical parameters are influenced by IOP.

Temporal changes in the number of zooplankton species are important information for understanding basic characteristics and species diversity in marine ecosystems. The aim of the present study was to estimate the optimal monitoring frequency (OMF) to guarantee and predict the minimum number of species occurrences for studies concerning marine ecosystems. The OMF is estimated using the temporal number of zooplankton species through bi-weekly monitoring of zooplankton species data according to operational taxonomic units in the Tongyoung coastal sea. The optimal model comprises two terms, a constant (optimal mean) and a cosine function with a one-year period. The confidence interval (CI) range of the model with monitoring frequency was estimated using a bootstrap method. The CI range was used as a reference to estimate the optimal monitoring frequency. In general, the minimum monitoring frequency (numbers per year) directly depends on the target (acceptable) estimation error. When the acceptable error (range of the CI) increases, the monitoring frequency decreases because the large acceptable error signals a rough estimation. If the acceptable error (unit: number value) of the number of the zooplankton species is set to 3, the minimum monitoring frequency (times per year) is 24. The residual distribution of the model followed a normal distribution. This model can be applied for the estimation of the minimal monitoring frequency that satisfies the target error bounds, as this model provides an estimation of the error of the zooplankton species numbers with monitoring frequencies.

본 논문에서는 2002년에 (사)볼런티어21에서 실시한 설문조사 자료를 이용하여 2001년에 우리나라 개인들이 기부한 횟수에 영향을 주는 유의한 변수들을 식별하였다. 기부횟수의 경험적 분포로 미루어 모집단은 기부를 적게 하는 집단과 많이 하는 집단으로 구성되며 따라서 모집단 분포를 두개 포아송 분포의 혼합분포로 모형화하였다. 이 모형에 기초하여 기부횟수에 영향을 미치는 변수들을 식별하였다. EM알고리즘을 이용하여 모수를 추정하고 2.5%와 97.5%에 기초한 백분위수 신뢰구간을 보완한 BCa(bias-corrected and accelerated) 신뢰구간을 계산하여 유의한 변수들을 찾았다. 연구결과 혼합 포아송 회귀모형에서는 기부횟수가 적은 집단("작은 군")과 기부횟수가 많은 집단("큰 군") 모두에서 소득과 자원봉사의 경험 유무(1:예, 0:아니오)가 기부횟수에 유의적으로 영향을 주는 변수로 밝혀졌다. 또한 두 변수 각각에서 회귀계수가 양수로 나타나 소득이 많을수록, 혹은 자원봉사의 경험이 있는 사람일수록 기부횟수가 증가하는 것을 알 수 있다. 그러나 소득과 자원봉사 변수의 회귀계수는 "작은 군"이 "큰 군"에 비해 더욱 크게 나타나고 있다. "작은 군"보다 "큰 군"의 사람들에게 기부가 생활화되어 있고, 따라서 소득과 자원봉사의 경험 유무가 기부횟수에 미치는 영향이 상대적으로 적은 것으로 파악된다.

본 연구는 최근에 개발된 비정상성 강우빈도해석법을 적용하여 추정한 확률강우량에 대한 적용성 및 신뢰성을 평가하였다. 이를 위하여 기상청 관할 강우관측소 중 자료의 증가 경향성이 유의한 4개 지점에 대하여 3가지 형태의 확률강우량을 산정하였다. 첫 번째 확률강우량은 1973-1997년의 관측자료를 가지고 일반적인 강우빈도해석을 적용하여 추정한 확률강우량(SPR1997)이고, 두 번째 확률강우량은 1973-2006년의 관측자료를 가지고 일반적인 강우빈도 해석을 적용하여 추정한 확률강우량(SPR2006), 그리고 세 번째 확률강우량은 1973-1997년의 강우량 자료를 가지고 1997년을 현재시점이라 가정하여 2006년의 확률강우량을 비정상성 강우빈도해석법을 적용하여 추정한 확률강우량(NSPR2006)이다. 2006년을 목표연도라 가정하고, 확률강우량을 비교분석한 결과, 비정상성 강우빈도해석법에 의한 확률강우량(NSPR2006)이 정상성 확률강우량(SPR1997)에 비해 목표연도의 확률강우량에 대하여 적절한 값을 추정하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 또한 Bootstrap 기법을 이용한 신뢰구간을 비교하여 비정상성 확률강우량 추정에 적용되는 매개변수 추정법에 대한 평가를 수행하였다. 최우도법에 의한 신뢰구간 길이가 확률가중모멘트법에 의한 신뢰구간 길이보다 좁게 나타났으며, 이는 최우도법이 비정상성 강우빈도해석법에 적용되어 신뢰성 높은 확률강우량을 추정하는 것으로 판단된다.

Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the best approach for handling missing records of first to successful insemination (FS) in Japanese Black heifers. Methods: Of a total of 2,367 records of heifers born between 2003 and 2015 used, 206 (8.7%) of open heifers were missing. Four penalty methods based on the number of inseminations were set as follows: C1, FS average according to the number of inseminations; C2, constant number of days, 359; C3, maximum number of FS days to each insemination; and C4, average of FS at the last insemination and FS of C2. C5 was generated by adding a constant number (21 d) to the highest number of FS days in each contemporary group. The bootstrap method was used to compare among the 5 methods in terms of bias, mean squared error (MSE) and coefficient of correlation between estimated breeding value (EBV) of non-censored data and censored data. Three percentages (5%, 10%, and 15%) were investigated using the random censoring scheme. The univariate animal model was used to conduct genetic analysis. Results: Heritability of FS in non-censored data was $0.012{\pm}0.016$, slightly lower than the average estimate from the five penalty methods. C1, C2, and C3 showed lower standard errors of estimated heritability but demonstrated inconsistent results for different percentages of missing records. C4 showed moderate standard errors but more stable ones for all percentages of the missing records, whereas C5 showed the highest standard errors compared with noncensored data. The MSE in C4 heritability was $0.633{\times}10^{-4}$, $0.879{\times}10^{-4}$, $0.876{\times}10^{-4}$ and $0.866{\times}10^{-4}$ for 5%, 8.7%, 10%, and 15%, respectively, of the missing records. Thus, C4 showed the lowest and the most stable MSE of heritability; the coefficient of correlation for EBV was 0.88; 0.93 and 0.90 for heifer, sire and dam, respectively. Conclusion: C4 demonstrated the highest positive correlation with the non-censored data set and was consistent within different percentages of the missing records. We concluded that C4 was the best penalty method for missing records due to the stable value of estimated parameters and the highest coefficient of correlation.
