A variable selection method based on probabilistic principal component analysis (PCA) using penalized likelihood method is proposed. The proposed method is a two-step variable reduction method. The first step is based on the probabilistic principal component idea to identify principle components. The penalty function is used to identify important variables in each component. We then build a model on the original data space instead of building on the rotated data space through latent variables (principal components) because the proposed method achieves the goal of dimension reduction through identifying important observed variables. Consequently, the proposed method is of more practical use. The proposed estimators perform as the oracle procedure and are root-n consistent with a proper choice of regularization parameters. The proposed method can be successfully applied to high-dimensional PCA problems with a relatively large portion of irrelevant variables included in the data set. It is straightforward to extend our likelihood method in handling problems with missing observations using EM algorithms. Further, it could be effectively applied in cases where some data vectors exhibit one or more missing values at random.

Recently, the demand for alpha imaging detectors for quantifying the distributions of alpha particles has increased in various fields. This study aims to reconstruct a high-resolution image from an alpha imaging detector by applying a super-spatial resolution method combined with the maximum-likelihood expectation maximization (MLEM) algorithm. To perform the super-spatial resolution method, several images are acquired while slightly moving the detector to predefined positions. Then, a forward model for imaging is established by the system matrix containing the mechanical shifts, subsampling, and measured point-spread function of the imaging system. Using the measured images and system matrix, the MLEM algorithm is implemented, which converges towards a high-resolution image. We evaluated the performance of the proposed method through the Monte Carlo simulations and phantom experiments. The results showed that the super-spatial resolution method was successfully applied to the alpha imaging detector. The spatial resolution of the resultant image was improved by approximately 12% using four images. Overall, the study's outcomes demonstrate the feasibility of the super-spatial resolution method for the alpha imaging detector. Possible applications of the proposed method include high-resolution imaging for alpha particles of in vitro sliced tissue and pre-clinical biologic assessments for targeted alpha therapy.

We consider goodness-of-fit test statistics for Weibull distributions when data are randomly censored and the parameters are unknown. Koziol and Green (Biometrika, 63, 465-474, 1976) proposed the $Cram\acute{e}r$-von Mises statistic's randomly censored version for a simple hypothesis based on the Kaplan-Meier product limit of the distribution function. We apply their idea to the other statistics based on the empirical distribution function such as the Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Liao and Shimokawa (Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 64, 23-48, 1999) statistics. The latter is a hybrid of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov, $Cram\acute{e}r$-von Mises, and Anderson-Darling statistics. These statistics as well as the Koziol-Green statistic are considered as test statistics for randomly censored Weibull distributions with estimated parameters. The null distributions depend on the estimation method since the test statistics are not distribution free when the parameters are estimated. Maximum likelihood estimation and the graphical plotting method with the least squares are considered for parameter estimation. A simulation study enables the Liao-Shimokawa statistic to show a relatively high power in many alternatives; however, the null distribution heavily depends on the parameter estimation. Meanwhile, the Koziol-Green statistic provides moderate power and the null distribution does not significantly change upon the parameter estimation.

이 논문에서는 비선형 변환과 가능도 함수를 이용하여 다변량 자료의 정규성을 검정하는 방법에 대해 알아본다. 사용된 변환은 변환모수에 따라 여러 가지 형태를 가지는 변환족을 구성하는데 이 변환모수를 검정하여 자료의 정규성을 검정한다. 모수의 검정은 점수함수(score function)을 기초로 이루어지며 표본크기가 적은 경우에도 검정통계량의 분포를 유도하기 위한 모수적 붓스트랩 검정방법이 사용된다. 모의실험 결과 기존의 방법과 검정력을 비교하여 제안된 방법이 검정력이 높은 것으로 나타났다.

A new algorithm is proposed to determine optimal accelerometer locations (OAL) when a structure is identified by frequency domain system identification (SI) method. As a result, a guideline is presented for selecting OAL which can reflect modal response of a structure properly. The guideline is to provide a minimum number of necessary accelerometers with the variation in the number of measurable target modes. To determine OAL for SI applications effectively, the modal sensitivity effective independence distribution vector (MS-EIDV) is developed with the likelihood function of measurements. By maximizing the likelihood of the occurrence of the measurements relative to the predictions, Fisher Information Matrix (FIM) is derived as a function of mode shape sensitivity. This paper also proposes a statistical approach in determining the structural parameters with a presumed parameter error which reflects the epistemic paradox between the determination of OAL and the application of a SI scheme. Numerical simulations have been carried out to examine the proposed OAL algorithm. A two-span multi-girder bridge and a two-span truss bridge were used for the simulation studies. To overcome a rank deficiency frequently occurred in inverting a FIM, the singular value decomposition scheme has been applied.

Penalized spline is a suitable nonparametric approach in estimating mean model in small area. However, application of the approach in informative sampling in a published article is uncommon. We propose a semiparametric mixed-model using penalized spline under informative sampling to estimate mean of small area. The response variable is explained in terms of mean model, informative sample effect, area random effect and unit error. We approach the mean model by penalized spline and utilize a penalized spline function of the inclusion probability to account for the informative sample effect. We determine the best and unbiased estimators for coefficient model and derive the restricted maximum likelihood estimators for the variance components. A simulation study shows a decrease in the average absolute bias produced by the proposed model. A decrease in the root mean square error also occurred except in some quadratic cases. The use of linear and quadratic penalized spline to approach the function of the inclusion probability provides no significant difference distribution of root mean square error, except for few smaller samples.

토지이용 분류 체계상에서의 종류라는 개념은 토지이용 변화의 분류 체계성에 그대로 적용시킬 수가 있다. 본 연구에서는 선형 판별 함수를 원용하는 최우법(Maximum likelihood method)으로 산출되는 토지이용분류의 공간적 결과와 Markov 전이 행렬 방법으로 산출되는 정량적 결과가 상호 보완하는 의미에서 합성모형으로 통합되었다. 본 연구에서는 다변수 판별 함수의 계산법과 Markov 연쇄행렬 계산법에 관하여 토의되고 그 합성 모형을 대상 지역에 실제 적용하여 그 결과 '90년, '95년 토지이용도가 예측 작성되었다. 모형화의 문제 및 예측의 정확도 역시 더욱 토의 되어야 하며 추후 개선의 여지를 남긴다.

반응변수의 변환을 고려하는 부분선형모형에서 이상치 문제는 선형모형에서와 마찬가지로 반응변수 변환모수의 추정에 왜곡된 결과를 초래할 수 있다. 이를 해결하기 위해서는 부분선형모형에서 반응변수 변환 모수 추정과 이상치 탐지 과정이 수행되어야 하지만 모형에 포함된 비모수 함수의 비정형성에 따른 어려움이 크다. 본 연구에서는 부분선형모형의 비모수함수에 대한 추정과 순차적 검정, 최대절사우도추정 등과 같은 이상치 제거방법의 적용을 통하여 부분선형모형에서 이상치에 강건한 반응변수 변환 과정을 제안한다. 제안된 방법들은 모의실험과 예제를 통해 효과를 비교 검증한다.
