Probability plotting position is generally used for the graphical analysis of the annual maximum quantile and the estimation of exceedance probability to display the fitness between sample and an appropriate probability distribution. In addition, it is used to apply a specific goodness of fit test. Plotting position formula to define the probability plotting position has been studied in many researches. Especially, the GEV distribution which is an important probability distribution to analyze the frequency of hydrologic data was popular. In this study, the theoretical reduced variates are derived using the mean value of order statistics to derived an appropriate plotting position formula for the GEV distribution. In addition, various forms of plotting position formula considering various sample sizes and coefficients of skewness related with shape parameters are applied. The parameters of plotting position formulas are estimated using the genetic algorithm. The accuracy of derived plotting position formula is estimated by the errors between the theoretical reduced variates and those by various plotting position formulas including the derived ones in this study. As a result, the errors by derived plotting position formula is the smallest at the range of shape parameter with -0.25~0.10.

This study estimates and evaluates the extreme value of 30 m-resolution daily maximum and minimum temperatures over South Korea, using inverse distance weighting (IDW), parameter-elevation regression on independent slopes model (PRISM) and generalized extreme value (GEV) method. The three experiments are designed and performed to find the optimal estimation strategy to obtain extreme value. First experiment (EXP1) applies GEV firstly to automated surface observing system (ASOS) to estimate extreme value and then applies IDW to produce high-resolution extreme values. Second experiment (EXP2) is same as EXP1, but using PRISM to make the high-resolution extreme value instead of IDW. Third experiment (EXP3) firstly applies PRISM to ASOS to produce the high-resolution temperature field, and then applies GEV method to make high resolution extreme value data. By comparing these 3 experiments with extreme values obtained from observation data, we find that EXP3 shows the best performance to estimate extreme values of maximum and minimum temperatures, followed by EXP1 and EXP2. It is revealed that EXP1 and EXP2 have a limitation to estimate the extreme value at each grid point correctly because the extreme values of these experiments with 30 m-resolution are calculated from only 60 extreme values obtained from ASOS. On the other hand, the extreme value of EXP3 is similar to observation compared to others, since EXP3 produces 30m-resolution daily temperature through PRISM, and then applies GEV to that result at each grid point. This result indicates that the quality of statistically produced high-resolution extreme values which are estimated from observation data is different depending on the combination and procedure order of statistical methods.

This study was conducted to derive optimal design floods by Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution for the annual maximum series at ten watersheds along Han, Nagdong, Geum, Yeongsan and Seomjin river systems. Adequacy for the analysis of flood data used in this study was established by the tests of Independence, Homogeneity, detection of Outliers. L-coefficient of variation, L-skewness and L-kurtosis were calculated by L-moment ratio respectively. Parameters were estimated by the Methods of Moments and L-Moments. Design floods obtained by Methods of Moments and L-Moments using different methods for plotting positions in GEV distribution were compared by the Relative Mean Errors(RME) and Relative Absolute Errors(RAE). The results were analyzed and summarized as follows. 1. Adequacy for the analysis of flood data was acknowledged by the tests of Independence, Homogeneity and detection of Outliers. 2. GEV distribution used in this study was found to be more suitable one than Pearson type 3 distribution by the goodness of fit test using Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and L-Moment ratios diagram in the applied watersheds. 3. Parameters for GEV distribution were estimated using Methods of Moments and L-Moments. 4. Design floods were calculated by Methods of Moments and L-Moments in GEV distribution. 5. It was found that design floods derived by the method of L-Moments using Weibull plotting position formula in GEV distribution are much closer to those of the observed data in comparison with those obtained by method of moments using different formulas for plotting positions from the viewpoint of Relative Mean Errors and Relative Absolute Errors.

The Arabidopsis mutants involved in chloroplast development were induced by seed treatment of diepoxybutane which was rarely known mutagenic compound in plant mutagenesis. Three kinds of mutants designated as iml, gev, and yev were represented by the characteristics of variegated leaves, green vein with yellow leaves, and yellow green vein with green leaves respectively. We investigated the ultrastructure of chloroplast in mutated regions using transmission electron microscopy. The ultrastructure of chroloplast in wildtype showed regularly stacked grana thylakoid and stroma thylakoid while iml, gev and yev mutants displayed different shapes of grana stacking and stroma stacking of chloroplasts. Genetic analysis of three chloroplast mutants exhibit that divergent traits were ruled by a single recessive nuclear gene.

In this study, rainfall characteristics with stationary and non-stationary perspectives were analyzed using generalized extreme value (GEV) distribution and Gumbel distribution models with rainfall data collected in major cities of Korea to reevaluate the return period of sewer flooding in those cities. As a result, the probable rainfall for GEV and Gumbel distribution in non-stationary state both increased with time(t), compared to the stationary probable rainfall. Considering the reliability of ${\xi}_1$, a variable reflecting the increase of storm events due to climate change, the reliability of the rainfall duration for Seoul, Daegu, and Gwangju in the GEV distribution was over 90%, indicating that the probability of rainfall increase was high. As for the Gumbel distribution, Wonju, Daegu, and Gwangju showed the higher reliability while Daejeon showed the lower reliability than the other cities. In addition, application of the maximum annual rainfall change rate (${\xi}_1{\cdot}t$) to the location parameter made possible the prediction of return period by time, therefore leading to the evaluation of design recurrence interval.

Derivatio of reasonable design floods was attempted by comparative analysis of design floods derived by Generalized Extreme Value(GEV) distribution using methods of L-moments and LH-moments for the annual maximum series at ten watersheds along Han, Nagdong. Geum, Yeongsan and Seomjin river systems, LH-coefficient of variation, LH-skewness and Lh-kurtosis were calcualted by KH-moment ration respectively. Paramenters were estimated by the Method of LH-Moments, Design floods obtained by Method of LH-Moments using different methods for plotting positionsi n GEV distribution and design floods were compared with those obtained using the Method of L-Moments by the Relative Mean Errors(RME) and Relative Absolute Errors(RAE). The results was found that design floods derived by the method of L-Moments and LH-Moments using Cunnane plotting position formula in the GEV distribution are much closer to those of the observed data in comparison with those obtained by methods of L-moments and LH-moments using the other formula for plotting positions from the viewpoint of Relative Mean Errors and Relative Absolute Errors. In viewpoint of the fact that hydrqulic structures including dams and levees are genrally using design floods with the return period of two hundred years or so, design floods derived by LH-Moments are seemed to be more reasonable than those of L-Moments in the GEV distribution.

기존의 빈도해석에서는 자료의 정상성을 가정하며, 이에 따라 적정모형 선정 시에 $x^2$ 검정이나 PPCC(Probability Plot Correlation Coefficient)검정과 같은 적합도 검정방법을 사용한다. 하지만 자료에서 경향성이 나타나거나 평균, 분산, 매개변수 등이 시간에 따라 변하는 등의 비정상성 현상들이 관측됨에 따라 비정상성 빈도해석에 관한 연구들이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 비정상성 빈도해석에서는 시간항과 같은 공변량이 포함된 매개변수를 가지는 비정상성 모형을 적용하게 되는데, 시간에 따라 매개변수가 계속 변하므로 매개변수에 따라 검정통계량이 고정되어 있는 기존의 적합도 검정방법의 적용이 어렵다. 따라서 비정상성 빈도해석의 적정 모형 선정에 적용할 수 있는 방법으로 최우도 함수에 기반한 모형 평가 방법인 AIC와 BIC가 추천되고 있으며 자료길이가 충분하지 않은 경우에는 AIC 대신하여 AICc의 사용이 추천되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 극치사상을 나타내는데 적합한 분포형인 GEV분포형의 위치, 규모 매개변수를 시간항으로 나타낸 다양한 비정상성 GEV모형에 대하여 Monte-Carlo 모의실험을 통해 AICc와 BIC의 적용성을 검토하였으며, 비정상성이 관측되는 실측 자료에 적용해보았다.

재현기간이 수백년 이상인 이상홍수의 초과확률을 추정하기 위해서는 재현기간 이상의 홍수자료를 이용해 내삽(interpolation)을 해야 하지만 현재 우리나라의 체계적(systematic) 관측자료 기간은 이에 훨씬 미치지 못한다. 따라서, 역사 자료(historical data)를 이용해 자료 길이를 확장하는 방법, 홍수자료에 비해 비교적긴 강우자료와 유출 모형에 의한 합성자료를 이용하는 방법 등이 사용되어 왔다. 본 연구에서는 역사 자료와 체계적 관측자료를 효율적으로 결합할 수 있는 EMA(Expected Moment Algorithm) 기법을 연구하였다. EMA는 Cohn 등(1997)에 의해 제안된 방법으로 미국의 공식 분포인 LP3(Log-Pearson type 3) 분포를 대상으로 반복 계산을 통해 매개변수를 추정하는 기법으로서 본 연구에서는 LP3 분포 대신에 최근 국내 홍수빈도해석 시 많이 쓰이고 있는 GEV(Generalized Extreme Value) 분포를 대상으로 EMA 절차를 이론적으로 유도하였다.

본 연구에서는 Probability Weighted Moments의 새로운 선형조합기법인 LQ-moments를 이용하여 GEV 분포의 매개변수를 추정하고 L, LH, LQ-moments를 사용하여 뉴욕주의 Donnattsburg에 위치한 Independence River의 홍수량을 빈도 해석하였다. LH, LQ-moments가 제시된 근본적인 이유는 L-moments가 극치값에 내해 지나치게 민감한 단점을 보완하기 위해서인데, 이번 연구의 결과에 의하면 오히려 LH, LQ-moments가 극치값에 대해 민감하게 반응하여 부정확한 결과가 도출되었다. 그러므로 항상 LH, LQ-moments가 L-moments의 대안이 될 수 있는 것은 아님을 알게 되었다. 그리고 수학적 유도에서 L, LH, LQ-moments는 좀더 쉽고 간편한 메개변수 추정을 위해 Probability Weighted Moments의 선형조합을 통해 고안되었다는 공통점을 가지고 있지만, 이 점을 제외한 나머지 부분의 수식 유도에서는 서로 많은 차이가 있어서 지역적인 특성과 확률분포형의 특성을 고려하여 L, LH, LQ-moments 중에서 선별 사용해야 할 것이다.
