Background and Objective : Classical singing students who have received in systematic voice training appeared distinctive voice characteristics compared to normal people who have not received in systematic voice training. The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between acoustic parameters and Electroglottography(EGG) parameters in two groups(ordinary college students vs. classical singing students group). Materials and Methods : The 80 ordinary college students and 65 classical singing students participated in this study by utilizing Dr. speech program to obtain acoustic measurements and physiologic measurements simultaneously. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to find the correlation between acoustic parameters and EGG parameters in two groups(ordinary college students group and classical singing students group). Results : The results of the study were as follows : First, there was no correlation between Jitter and EGG Jitter in ordinary college students group, but there was strong correlation between Jitter and EGG Jitter in classical singing students group. Second, there was no correlation between Shimmer and EGG Shimmer in ordinary college students group, but there was strong correlation between Shimmer and EGG Shimmer in classical singing students group. Third, there was no correlation between Harmonic to Noise Ratio(HNR) and EGG HNR in ordinary college students group, but there was strong correlation between HNR and EGG HNR in classical singing students group. Finally, there was no correlation between Normalized Noise Energy(NNE) and EGG NNE in two groups.

The please relation between motive force and result is reviewed in view point of the correlation function as well as the redundancy in a continuous signal which permits the sampled treatment. A new correlation function (to be named Time Dependent Correlation Function) which is a functon of time, is defined in order to indicate the variation of the correlation between two signals. As application a phase looked loop is analysed which shows the increase of correlation between input signal and output signal of the loop after the application of the input signal. Finally again the T.D.Correlation Function method is used to show how the polyphase envelope detection-method is justifiable by this method.

Purpose : This study aims to examine the correlation between SPQ (sasang personality questionnaire) results and the significance level of general mental and physical health among youths. Effects of physical factors on the level of health are also examined. Methods : For the purpose of this study, the SPQ test and body mass and the Ponderal index were measured. The SPQ was followed by a survey on physical changes among 686 young people. The correlation between SPQ and BMI was analysed using Pearson's corelation. Post hoc tests were conducted on SPQ sub factors (SPQ-B, SPQ-C, and SPQ-E) were examined. Results : The findings from the analysis of the high, middle and lower group profiles of adolescent SPQ-B, SPQ-C, and SPQ-E showed that the three groups had significant results. This study demonstrates the correlations among sub factors of the SPQ. No correlation was observed regarding physical characteristics. Conclusion : This study demonstrates the correlations among sub factors of the SPQ. No correlation was observed regarding physical characteristics.

The similarity weight, the pearson's correlation coefficient, which is used in the recommender system has a weak point that it cannot predict all of the prediction value. The similarity weight, the vector similarity, has a weak point of the high MAE although the prediction coverage using the vector similarity is higher than that using the pearson's correlation coefficient. The purpose of this study is to suggest how to raise the prediction coverage. Also, the MAE using the suggested method in this study was compared both with the MAE using the pearson's correlation coefficient and with the MAE using the vector similarity, so was the prediction coverage. As a result, it was found that the low of the MAE in the case of using the suggested method was higher than that using the pearson's correlation coefficient. However, it was also shown that it was lower than that using the vector similarity. In terms of the prediction coverage, when the suggested method was compared with two similarity weights as I mentioned above, it was found that its prediction coverage was higher than that pearson's correlation coefficient as well as vector similarity.

The purposes of this study was to conduct a correlational analysis among $F_^{0}$, Jitter, Shimmer, and NHR (HNR), and NNE estimated by three speech analysis softwares, MDVP, Praat and Dr. Speech. Thirty females and 15 males with normal voice participated in the study. We used Sound Forge 6.0 to record their voice. MDVP, Praat and Dr. Speech were used to measure the acoustic parameters. The Pearson correlation coefficient was determined through a statistical analysis. The results came out as follows: Firstly, there was a strong correlation between $F_^{0}$ and Shimmer of both instruments. However, there was no correlation between Jitter of both instruments. Secondly, Shimmer showed a stronger correlation with HNR, NHR, and NNE than Jitter. Therefore, Shimmer was considered to be more useful and sensitive parameter to identify dysphonic voice compared to jitter.

The purpose of this study was to investigate correlation of auditory development and language development of children with hearing impairment Eighteen subjects with severe or profound hearing loss participated in this study. They were 22-to 55-month-olds who had hearing parents with no additional disabling conditions. The test material was the Meaningful Auditory Integration Scale (MAIS) and MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory-Korea (MCDI-K). A Pearson Correlation Coefficient was determined through a statistical analysis. The results followed as; firstly there was a strong correlation between auditory development and receptive language development. Secondly, there was a strong correlation between receptive language development and expressive language development. Finally, there was a strong correlation between auditory development and education onset time. Therefore, auditory training is important method for auditory rehabilitation and education onset time is important variation for auditory development.

The purpose of this study was to determine the correlation between HNR and NNE, EGG HNR and EGG NNE, which are most closely related to noise of voice. Dr. Speech was utilized to obtain acoustic measurements and physiologic measurements, simultaneously. In addition, no normative data of HNR, NNE, EGG HNR, EGG NNE are available in Korean subjects at present. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to find the correlation between HNR and NNE, EGG HNR and EGG NNE. The results of the study were as follows: First, there was no correlation between HNR and NNE. Second, there was a negative correlation between EGG HNR and EGG NNE. Finally, the mean value of HNR of normal Korean adults was $28.8\pm2.7$ dB, that of NNE -$11.7\pm3.9$ dB, that of EGG HNR $32.9\pm4.6$ dB, and that of EGG NNE $-30.3\pm4.6$ dB.

This study investigates quantitative methods for assessment of infrared analysis of concrete admixtures using correlation coefficients by performing IR scans following the ASTM C494/C494M-11 specifications. In order to achieve this goal, numerous IR scans were performed on specimens supplied by the manufacturer from different batches to ensure uniformity and equivalency. These scans were then analyzed to create correlation coefficients for each admixture. The correlation coefficients were used to quantitatively evaluate and interpret IR Scans of job samples. The study focused on 23 most commonly used concrete admixtures by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT). They include air-entrainers, accelerators, retarders, water reducers, and other combinations of these admixtures. Their correlation coefficients were established by analyzing a total of 12 scans of each admixture from three different batches supplied by the manufacturer at different time intervals. In order to validate the obtained correlation coefficients and establish a target correlation, job samples were tested and compared to the obtained correlations. The study also evaluated the effects of drying time and using different types of KBr on correlation coefficients.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between subjective and objective evaluation in speakers with voice disorders. Subjective evaluation indicates the self-reports of voice problems by dysphonic speakers. The relating protocol is the Voice Handicap Index (VHI) and the self-awareness index of voice problems (SAIVP-14). A total of 48 individuals with voice disorders replied to the questionnaire and participated in a voice assessment. Objective evaluations included the perceptual judgement of G grade in GRBAS, acoustic measurements (jitter, shimmer, NHR) by MDVP (CSL 4400), and aerodynamic measurements (MPT, MFR, psub) by PAS (Phonatory Aerodynamic System, KayPentax, USA). Pearson and Spearman correlations were used for the analysis. In the correlation with perceptual judgement (G grade) and VHI-Total, VHI-Physical, and SAIVP-14, there was a significant correlation, but the overall correlation was poor. NHR, jitter, and shimmer were significantly correlated with overall VHI and SAIVP-14. Specifically, the correlation with shimmer was stronger compared to the other measurements. In aerodynamic measures, MFR and MPT showed a significant correlation with VHI-Total, VHI-Emotional, and SAIVP-14, but their correlation was poor. The results of this study suggested that subjective evaluation of self voice problems is meaningfully correlated with objective evaluations, but more data in the multidimensional voice assessment should be collected and analyzed for the reliability and validity of the voice handicap questionnaire.
