본 논문에서는 1차 자기회귀모형에서 자기회귀계수에 대한 여러 가지 추정량들의 분포함수에 대한 근사적추론 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 이차형식에 대한 안장점근사의 결과를 이용한 이 근사법은 여러 형태의 추정량들에 대해 근사분포의 유도과정이 불필요하며, 소표본은 물론 통계적 추론의 주요 관심영역에서의 근사정도가 매우 뛰어난 장점을 가지고 있다. 모의실험을 통해 Edgeworth근사를 비롯한 기존의 여러 근사법보다 효율이 뛰어남을 확인하였다.

In this paper we studied the small sample asymptotic inference for the autoregressive coefficient in AR(1) model. Based on saddlepoint approximations to the distribution of quadratic forms, we suggest a new approximation to the distribution of the estimators of the noncircular autoregressive coefficients. Simulation results show that the suggested methods are very accurate even in the small sample sizes and extreme tail area.

We consider several methods to approximate option prices with correction terms to the Black-Scholes option price. These methods are able to compute option prices from various risk-neutral distributions using relatively small data and simple computation. In this paper, we compare the performance of Edgeworth expansion, A-type and C-type Gram-Charlier expansions, a method of using Normal inverse gaussian distribution, and an asymptotic method of using nonlinear regression through simulation experiments and real KOSPI200 option data. We assume the variance gamma model in the simulation experiment, which has a closed-form solution for the option price among the pure jump $L{\acute{e}}vy$ processes. As a result, we found that methods to approximate an option price directly from the approximate price formula are better than methods to approximate option prices through the approximate risk-neutral density function. The method to approximate option prices by nonlinear regression showed relatively better performance among those compared.

In this paper, we study efficient gene selection methods by using conditional mutual information. We suggest gene selection methods using conditional mutual information based on semiparametric methods utilizing multivariate normal distribution and Edgeworth approximation. We compare our suggested methods with other methods such as mutual information filter, SVM-RFE, Cai et al. (2009)'s gene selection (MIGS-original) in SVM classification. By these experiments, we show that gene selection methods using conditional mutual information based on semiparametric methods have better performance than mutual information filter. Furthermore, we show that they take far less computing time than Cai et al. (2009)'s gene selection but have similar performance.

In this paper, we compare several methods to approximate option prices: Edgeworth expansion, A-type and C-type Gram-Charlier expansions, a method using normal inverse gaussian (NIG) distribution, and an asymptotic method using nonlinear regression. We used two different types of approximation. The first (called the RNM method) approximates the risk neutral probability density function of the log return of the underlying asset and computes the option price. The second (called the OPTIM method) finds the approximate option pricing formula and then estimates parameters to compute the option price. For simulation experiments, we generated underlying asset data from the Heston model and NIG model, a well-known stochastic volatility model and a well-known Levy model, respectively. We also applied the above approximating methods to the KOSPI200 call option price as a real data application. We then found that the OPTIM method shows better performance on average than the RNM method. Among the OPTIM, A-type Gram-Charlier expansion and the asymptotic method that uses nonlinear regression showed relatively better performance; in addition, among RNM, the method of using NIG distribution was relatively better than others.
