  • Uncertainties enter a complex analysis from a variety of sources: variability, lack of data, human errors, model simplification and lack of understanding of the underlying physics. However, for many important engineering applications insufficient data are available to justify the choice of a particular probability density function (PDF). Sometimes the only data available are in the form of interval estimates which represent, often conflicting, expert opinion. In this paper we demonstrate that Bayesian estimation techniques can successfully be used in applications where only vague interval measurements are available. The proposed approach is intended to fit within a probabilistic framework, which is established and widely accepted. To circumvent the problem of selecting a specific PDF when only little or vague data are available, a hierarchical model of a continuous family of PDF's is used. The classical Bayesian estimation methods are expanded to make use of imprecise interval data. Each of the expert opinions (interval data) are interpreted as random interval samples of a parent PDF. Consequently, a partial conflict between experts is automatically accounted for through the likelihood function.

  • Mechanisms of competition between two canopy algae and an understory alga were investigated by a field manipulative experiment using artificial thalli. The study was carried out in the upper intertidal zone at Nudibranch Point in Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, where two fucoids, Fucus gardneri and Pelvetiopsis limitata, and a turf red alga, Mazzaella cornucopiae, were dominant in the algal community. The experiment was designed to test three hypotheses, shading, whiplash, and allelopathy, imposed by potential fucoid effects on M. cornucopiae. Only the shading effect was significant, indicating that adult fucoid thalli reduced. M. cornucopiae biomass underneath the fucoids. Results indicated that reversal of competitive dominance existed between F. gardneri and M. cornucopiae depending on the life history stage of the competitors. By including the turf alga's effects on the fucoids, the well-balanced and non-hierarchical interaction networks among the major macroalgae support the high likelihood of species coexistence in the community.

  • The study in river basin has been performed for the identify water quality impaired stream segments, to create a priority ranking of those segments, and to calculate the heavy metal ion distribution for each impaired segment based on chemical and physical water quality standards. Two methods for modeling the potential area-specific heavy metal distribution are pursued in this study. First, a novel approach focuses on distance. Heavy metal distribution can be associated with a particular small geographic area. Based on the derived estimates an distribution map can be generated. Second, the approach is used the near watershed by means of kriging interpolation algorithm. These approaches provide an alternative distribution mapping of the area. The exposure estimates from both of these modeling methods are then compared with other environmental monitoring data. A GIS-based model will be used to mimic the hierarchical stream structure and processes found in natural watershed. Specifically, the relationship between landscape variables and reach scale habitat conditions most influential found in the Abandoned mine will be explored.

  • In multimedia communication systems, efficient transmission system design should incorporate the use of matching unequal error protection (UEP), since source coders exhibit unequal bit error sensitivity. In this paper, we present UEP schemes which exploit differences in bit error protection levels in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems over frequency selective fading channels. We introduce an UEP scheme which improves the link performance with multiple transmit and receive antennas. Especially, we propose a new receiver structure based on two stage Maximum Likelihood detection (MLD) schemes which can approach the performance of a full search MLD receiver with much reduced computational complexity. In the performance analysis, we derive a generalized pairwise error probability expression for the proposed UEP schemes. Simulation results show that the proposed schemes achieve a significant performance gain over the conventional equal error protection (EEP) scheme.

  • This study proposes an approach to unsupervisedly estimate the number of classes and the parameters of defining the classes in order to train the classifier. In the proposed method, the image is segmented using a spatial region growing based on hierarchical clustering, and fuzzy training is then employed to find the sample classes that well represent the ground truth. For cluster validation, this approach iteratively estimates the class-parameters in the fuzzy training for the sample classes and continuously computes the log-likelihood ratio of two consecutive class-numbers. The maximum ratio rule is applied to determine the optimal number of classes. The experimental results show that the new scheme proposed in this study could be used to select the regions with different characteristics existed on the scene of observed image as an alternative of field survey that is so expensive.

  • 통계적 모형에서 적절한 변수를 선택하는 것은 회귀분석에서 매우 중요하다. 최근 벌점 함수(예: LASSO 및 SCAD)와 함께 벌점화 가능도를 사용하는 변수 선택 방법들이 선형모형 및 일반화 선형모형과 같은 단순한 통계 모형에서 널리 연구되고 있다. 이러한 방법들의 주요 장점은 중요한 변수를 선택하고 동시에 회귀계수를 추정하는 것이다. 그러므로 이 방법들은 0으로 회귀계수를 추정함으로써 중요하지 않은 변수를 삭제한다. 이 논문에서는 콕스 비례 위험 모형의 한 확장인 준 모수적 프레일티 모형에서 벌점화된 다단계 가능도(h-likelihood; HL)를 기반으로 적절한 변수를 선택하는 방법을 연구한다. 이를 위해 세 가지 벌점 함수 LASSO, SCAD 및 HL을 사용한다. 본 논문에서는 변수선택을 효율적으로 하기 위해 "frailtyHL" R 패키지 (Ha 등, 2012)를 기반으로 하여 새로운 함수를 개발하였다. 개발된 방법의 예증을 위해 전남대 의과대학 병원에서 수집된 유방암 생존자료를 이용하여 세 가지 변수 선택 방법의 결과를 비교하고, 이 변수선택방법들의 상대적 장 단점에 대해 토론한다.

  • 본 연구에서는 계층적 Bayesian 기법을 이용한 새로운 지역빈도해석 모형을 개발하는데 목적이 있으며 이를 통해서 신뢰성 있는 매개변수를 추정과 동시에 지역빈도해석 절차의 불확실성 평가를 용이하게 접근할 수 있도록 하였다. 본 연구에서 제안되는 계층적 Bayesian 기반 지역빈도해석 모형(HBRFA)의 적합성을 평가하기 위해서 모의실험을 수행하였다. 즉, 10개의 모의 관측소를 대상으로 Monte-Carlo 모의를 통한 평가를 수행하였으며 전체적으로 HBRFA 모형이 기존 L-모멘트 방법에 비해 편의를 줄여주는 것으로 평가되었다. 특히 재현기간이 증가될수록 편의가 두드러지게 감소되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 전라북도의 6개 강우지점을 대상으로 HBRFA 모형과 기존 L-모멘트 기반 지역빈도해석 결과를 비교하였다. 계층적 Bayesian 모형의 특징을 평가하고자 매개변수의 Shrinkage 과정을 정량적으로 도출하여 제시하였으며 추정된 지역확률강수량이 기존 L-모멘트 기법과 유사한 결과를 갖는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 더불어 빈도별 확률강수량의 불확실성을 정량적으로 제시할 수 장점을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 고해상도 위성영상의 다중분광자료만을 이용하여 토지 피복도를 제작할 경우, 낮은 분광해상도와 단일 토지 피복 내에 존재하는 불균질성으로 인해 분류 결과의 정확도가 저하되는 문제가 발생한다. 특히 식생 클래스의 경우 단일 토지 피복임에도 불구하고 절감 특성에 따라 해당 영역 안에 산림, 초지, 농업지역 등이 함께 분류되는 문제가 두드러진다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 개선하기 위해 광학 영상 기반의 사전분류를 수행한 후 식생으로 분류된 영역에 대해 고해상도 위성영상의 다중분광정보와 SAR 영상 산란 정보를 통합하고 식생을 세분류하였다. 사전 분류와 식생분류는 최대우도 감독분류를 통해 수행되었으며 식생 세분류 결과와 사전 분류결과 중 비식생 클래스의 융합을 통해 계층적 분류 방법을 제안하였다. 제안 기법은 SAR 영상이나 GLCM 질감 정보를 영상 전체에 걸쳐 단순 통합한 분류결과뿐만 아니라 GLCM 질감 정보를 식생 지역에 적용한 계층적 분류결과에 비해 높은 정확도를 보였으며 특히 식생과 비식생의 분류 정확도가 모두 높게 나타났다.

  • Objectives: This study identified how personal characteristics, family environment, governmental policy for the prevention and cessation of smoking might influence on adolescent smoking. Methods: This study used data from the 2006 Korea Youth Risk Behavior Web-based Survey of 71,404 middle school and high school students, giving a response rate of 90.9%. We selected 61,508 adolescents subjects of the final analysis without missing data on independent variables and dependent variables which are used in this study. This study used $\chi^2$ tests and logistic regression models. Variables were added to the regression model in three groups using a hierarchical approach.Results: Adolescents were significantly more likely to become current smokers if they were boys, were in a higher grade, and had lower academic achievement. Adolescents experiencing stress and depression were associated with increased risk of current smoking. Adolescents with single parents or students of non-living with parents comparing with students of living with parents showed the high possibility of smoking. Lower father's education was associated with increased likelihood of current smoking. Adolescents who were exposed to smoking at home were more likely to smoke. Adolescents without contacting with the antismoking media campaign was associated with increased likelihood of current smoking. Conclusion: Promoting antismoking media campaigns targeted at adolescent is required, and the smoking prevention education which are proper for subjects are required. Proper plans which could decrease the exposure of secondhand smoking should be established.
