  • We introduce how to fit random effects models via a SRC-Stat statistical package. This package has been developed to fit double hierarchical generalized linear models where mean and dispersion parameters for the variance of random effects and residual variance (overdispersion) can be modeled as random-effect models. The estimates of fixed effects, random effects and variances are calculated by a hierarchical likelihood method. We illustrate the use of our package with practical data-sets.

  • We consider a Bayesian test of independence in a two-way contingency table that has some zero cells. To do this, we take a three-stage hierarchical Bayesian model under each hypothesis. For prior, we use Dirichlet density to model the marginal cell and each cell probabilities. Our method does not require complicated computation such as a Metropolis-Hastings algorithm to draw samples from each posterior density of parameters. We draw samples using a Gibbs sampler with a grid method. For complicated posterior formulas, we apply the Monte-Carlo integration and the sampling important resampling algorithm. We compare the values of the Bayes factor with the results of a chi-square test and the likelihood ratio test.

  • The fixed effects panel probit model faces "incidental parameters problem" because it has a property that the number of parameters to be estimated will increase with sample size. The maximum likelihood estimation fails to give a consistent estimator of slope parameter. Unlike the panel regression model, it is not feasible to find an orthogonal reparameterization of fixed effects to get a consistent estimator. In this note, a hierarchical Bayesian model is proposed. The model is essentially equivalent to the frequentist's random effects model, but the individual specific effects are estimable with the help of Gibbs sampling. The Bayesian estimator is shown to reduce reduced the small sample bias. The maximum likelihood estimator in the random effects model is also efficient, which contradicts Green (2004)'s conclusion.

  • 베이지안망(Bayesian network)은 다수의 변수들 사이의 확률적 관계(조건부독립성: conditional independence)를 그래프 구조로 표현하는 모델이다. 이러한 베이지안망은 비감독학습(unsupervised teaming)을 통한 데이터마이닝에 적합하다. 이를 위해 데이터로부터 베이지안망의 구조와 파라미터를 학습하게 된다. 주어진 데이터의 likelihood를 최대로 하는 베이지안망 구조를 찾는 문제는 NP-hard임이 알려져 있으므로, greedy search를 통한 근사해(approximate solution)를 구하는 방법이 주로 이용된다. 하지만 이러한 근사적 학습방법들도 데이터를 구성하는 변수들이 수천 - 수만에 이르는 경우, 방대한 계산량으로 인해 그 적용이 실질적으로 불가능하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 그러한 대규모 데이터에서 학습될 수 있는 계층적 베이지안망(hierarchical Bayesian network) 모델 및 그 학습방법을 제안하고, 그 가능성을 실험을 통해 보인다.

  • Joint hierarchical generalized linear models proposed by Molas et al. (2013) extend the simple longitudinal model into multiple models fitted jointly. It can easily handle the correlation of multivariate longitudinal data. In this paper, we apply this method to analyze KoGES cohort dataset. Fixed unknown parameters, random effects and variance components are estimated based on a standard framework of h-likelihood theory. Furthermore, based on the conditional Akaike information criterion the correlated covariance structure of random-effect model is selected rather than an independent structure.

  • We represent graphically the relationship of hierachical log linear models by regarding the values of the likelihood ratio statistics as the squared norm of the corresponding vectors. Right angled triangles, tetrahedrons, and modified polyhedrons are used for graphical description. We find that the angle between the two vectors depends on the coefficient of determination and the partial coefficent of determination. Thess graphical descriptions could be applied to the model selection method.

  • In this study we analyze categorical data by means of spatial statistics and echelon analysis. To do this, we first determine the hierarchical structure of a given contingency table by using echelon dendrogram then, we detect candidates of hotspots given as the top echelon in the dendrogram. Next, we evaluate spatial scan statistics for the zones of significantly high or low rates based on the likelihood ratio. Finally, we detect hotspots of any size and shape based on spatial scan statistics.

  • 본 논문은 고차 계층 변조, 즉 계층 64QAM의 연판정 비트 검출을 위한 단순화된 연산 방법을 다룬다. 이는 기존 계층 변조의 연판정 비트, 즉 LLR(Log-Likelihood Ratio)값의 근사를 통해 불필요한 연산을 줄여 이에 필요한 지연시간을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 제안된 기법은 기존의 연판정 비트 검출 기법과 매우 유사한 비트 오류율(BER: Bit Error Rate) 성능을 유지하기 때문에 연판정 비트를 활용하는 방송 및 통신 시스템에 폭넓게 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
