  • Using strategy group theory, this thesis reviewed the status of program providers analysis and the performances it has made so far, and sought measures to improve its limitations. The constraint of program providers analysis based on existing concept of strategy group is that the strategy group was derived from the statistics, and therefore only applied the characteristics of program provider's channels to the analysis, on account of which a systematic and sophisticated classification as well as generalization of strategy or strategy group were hard to obtain. Moreover, the PP strategy variables used to be selected at the firm level and business level, and in relation with resource and competition scope. In future, more appropriate procedure should be followed to obtain objectivity in selecting variables to avoid controversy over intentionality. The measures in this thesis to improve the study of PP strategy group can be summarized as follows: firstly analysis of variables for strategy group classification should be made to single out key variables which are to be classification criteria. Secondly, variables are to be cross-checked by industry experts to increase generalizability. Thirdly, proxy variables should be sublated, and strategy group model which enables the reflection of subsistent properties of PP industry, and the cognitive perception of the executives(CEO) needs to be established. Fourthly, the concepts of mobility barrier and isolating mechanism should be applied to the classification criteria of strategy group to reveal the gap of performance between different strategy groups. Lastly, chronicle study on PP strategy group should be done to perceive the dynamic changes of PP strategy group.

  • Purpose: The development of information technology makes it easy to utilize high-dimensional categorical data. In this regard, the purpose of this study is to propose a novel method to select the proper categorical variables in high-dimensional categorical data. Methods: The proposed feature selection method consists of three steps: (1) The first step defines the goodness-to-pick measure. In this paper, a categorical variable is relevant if it has relationships among other variables. According to the above definition of relevant variables, the goodness-to-pick measure calculates the normalized conditional entropy with other variables. (2) The second step finds the relevant feature subset from the original variables set. This step decides whether a variable is relevant or not. (3) The third step eliminates redundancy variables from the relevant feature subset. Results: Our experimental results showed that the proposed feature selection method generally yielded better classification performance than without feature selection in high-dimensional categorical data, especially as the number of irrelevant categorical variables increase. Besides, as the number of irrelevant categorical variables that have imbalanced categorical values is increasing, the difference in accuracy between the proposed method and the existing methods being compared increases. Conclusion: According to experimental results, we confirmed that the proposed method makes it possible to consistently produce high classification accuracy rates in high-dimensional categorical data. Therefore, the proposed method is promising to be used effectively in high-dimensional situation.

  • The purpose of this study is to improve the learning speed of an ammunition stockpile reliability classification artificial neural network model by proposing a normalization method that reduces the number of input variables based on the characteristic of Ammunition Stockpile Reliability Program (ASRP) data without loss of classification performance. Ammunition's performance requirements are specified in the Korea Defense Specification (KDS) and Ammunition Stockpile reliability Test Procedure (ASTP). Based on the characteristic of the ASRP data, input variables can be normalized to estimate the lot percent nonconforming or failure rate. To maintain the unitary hypercube condition of the input variables, min-max normalization method is also used. Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) of general min-max normalization and proposed 2-step normalization is over 0.95 and speed-up for marching learning based on ASRP field data is improved 1.74 ~ 1.99 times depending on the numbers of training data and of hidden layer's node.

  • In this paper, precipitation / non-precipitation pattern classification of meteorological radar data is conducted by using neuro-fuzzy algorithm. Structure expression of meteorological radar data information is analyzed in order to effectively classify precipitation and non-precipitation. Also diverse input variables for designing pattern classifier could be considered by exploiting the quantitative as well as qualitative characteristic of meteorological radar data information and then each characteristic of input variables is analyzed. Preferred pattern classifier can be designed by essential input variables that give a decisive effect on output performance as well as model architecture. As the proposed model architecture, neuro-fuzzy algorithm is designed by using FCM-based radial basis function neural network(RBFNN). Two parts of classifiers such as instance classifier part and echo classifier part are designed and carried out serially in the entire system architecture. In the instance classifier part, the pattern classifier identifies between precipitation and non-precipitation data. In the echo classifier part, because precipitation data information identified by the instance classifier could partially involve non-precipitation data information, echo classifier is considered to classify between them. The performance of the proposed classifier is evaluated and analyzed when compared with existing QC method.

  • Classification in biomedical applications is an important task that predicts or classifies an outcome based on a given set of input variables such as diagnostic tests or the symptoms of a patient. Traditionally the classification algorithms would have to digest a stationary set of historical data in order to train up a decision-tree model and the learned model could then be used for testing new samples. However, a new breed of classification called stream-based classification can handle continuous data streams, which are ever evolving, unbound, and unstructured, for instance--biosignal live feeds. These emerging algorithms can potentially be used for real-time classification over biosignal data streams like EEG and ECG, etc. This paper presents a pioneer effort that studies the feasibility of classification algorithms for analyzing biosignals in the forms of infinite data streams. First, a performance comparison is made between traditional and stream-based classification. The results show that accuracy declines intermittently for traditional classification due to the requirement of model re-learning as new data arrives. Second, we show by a simulation that biosignal data streams can be processed with a satisfactory level of performance in terms of accuracy, memory requirement, and speed, by using a collection of stream-mining algorithms called Optimized Very Fast Decision Trees. The algorithms can effectively serve as a corner-stone technology for real-time classification in future biomedical applications.

  • Using data gathered from expert opinion of plant and equipment professionals; this paper presents the key variables that may constitute a maintenance proficient plant operator. The Multivariate Discriminant Analysis (MDA) was applied to generate data and was tested for sensitivity analysis. Results showed that the MDA model was able to classify plant operators' proficiency at 94.10 percent accuracy and determined nine (9) key variables of a maintenance proficient plant operator. The key variables included: i) number of years of experience as equipment operator (PQ1); ii) eye-hand coordination (PQ9); iii) eye-hand-foot coordination (PQ10); iv) planning skills (TE16); v) pay/wage (MQ1); vi) work satisfaction (MQ4); vii) operator responsibilities as defined by management (MF1); viii) clear management policies (MF4); and ix) management pay scheme (MF5). The classification procedure of nine variables formed the general model with the equation viz: OMP (general) = 0.516PQ1 + 0.309PQ9 + 0.557PQ10 + 0.831TE16 + 0.8MQ1 + 0.0216MQ4 + 0.136MF1 + 0.28MF4 + 0.332MF5 - 4.387
