This paper consider multinomial group testing which is concerned with classification each of N given units into one of k disjoint categories. In this paper, we propose exact Bayesian, approximate Bayesian, bootstrap methods for estimating individual category proportions using the multinomial group testing model proposed by Bar-Lev et al (2005). By the comparison of Mcan Squre Error (MSE), it is shown that the exact Bayesian method has a bettor efficiency and consistency than maximum likelihood method. We suggest an approximate Bayesian approach using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for posterior computation. We derive exact credible intervals based on the exact Bayesian estimators and present confidence intervals using the bootstrap and MCMC. These intervals arc shown to often have better coverage properties and similar mean lengths to maximum likelihood method already available. Furthermore the proposed models are illustrated using data from a HIV blooding test study throughout California, 2000.

A generalization of the log-logistic (LL) distribution called exponentiated log-logistic (ELL) distribution on lines of exponentiated Weibull distribution is considered. In this paper, based on progressive type-II censored samples, we have derived the maximum likelihood estimators and Bayes estimators for three parameters, the survival function and hazard function of the ELL distribution. Then, under the balanced squared error loss (BSEL) and the balanced linex loss (BLEL) functions, their corresponding Bayes estimators are obtained using Lindley's approximation (see Jung and Chung, 2018; Lindley, 1980), Tierney-Kadane approximation (see Tierney and Kadane, 1986) and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods (see Hastings, 1970; Gelfand and Smith, 1990). Here, to check the convergence of MCMC chains, the Gelman and Rubin diagnostic (see Gelman and Rubin, 1992; Brooks and Gelman, 1997) was used. On the basis of their risks, the performances of their Bayes estimators are compared with maximum likelihood estimators in the simulation studies. In this paper, research supports the conclusion that ELL distribution is an efficient distribution to modeling data in the analysis of survival data. On top of that, Bayes estimators under various loss functions are useful for many estimation problems.

The fire brigade non-suppression probability model is a major factor that should be considered in evaluating fire-induced risk through fire probabilistic risk assessment (PRA), and also uncertainty is a critical consideration in support of risk-informed performance-based (RIPB) fire protection decision-making. This study developed an optimal integrated probabilistic fire brigade non-suppression model considering uncertainty of parameters based on the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) approach on electrical fire which is one of the most risk significant contributors. The result shows that the log-normal probability model with a location parameter (µ) of 2.063 and a scale parameter (σ) of 1.879 is best fitting to the actual fire experience data. It gives optimal model adequacy performance with Bayesian information criterion (BIC) of -1601.766, residual sum of squares (RSS) of 2.51E-04, and mean squared error (MSE) of 2.08E-06. This optimal log-normal model shows the better performance of the model adequacy than the exponential probability model suggested in the current fire PRA methodology, with a decrease of 17.3% in BIC, 85.3% in RSS, and 85.3% in MSE. The outcomes of this study are expected to contribute to the improvement and securement of fire PRA realism in the support of decision-making for RIPB fire protection programs.

Using statistical methods a change-point analysis of oil supply disruption is conducted. The statistical distribution of oil supply disruption is a weibull distribution. The detection of the change-point is applied to Bayesian method and weibull parameters are estimated through Markov chain monte carlo and parameter approach. The statistical approaches to the estimation for the change-point and weibull parameters is implemented with the sets of simulated and real data with small sizes of samples.

Real data as web log file tend to be incomplete. But we have to find useful knowledge from these for optimal decision. In web log data, many useful things which are hyperlink information and web usages of connected users may be found. The size of web data is too huge to use for effective knowledge discovery. To make matters worse, they are very sparse. We overcome this sparse problem using Markov Chain Monte Carlo method as multiple imputations. This missing value imputation changes spare web data to complete. Our study may be a useful tool for discovering knowledge from data set with sparseness. The more sparseness of data in increased, the better performance of MCMC imputation is good. We verified our work by experiments using UCI machine learning repository data.

Bayesian network is a form of probabilistic graphical model. It incorporates human reasoning to deal with sparse data availability and to determine the probabilities of uncertain cases. In this research, bayesian network is adopted to model the problem of construction project cost. General information, time, cost, and material, the four main factors dominating the characteristic of construction costs, are incorporated into the model. This research presents verify a model that were conducted to illustrate the functionality and application of a decision support system for predicting the costs. The Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method is applied to estimate parameter distributions. Furthermore, it is shown that not all the parameters are normally distributed. In addition, cost estimates based on the Gibbs output is performed. It can enhance the decision the decision-making process.

Most attempts at Bayesian analysis of neural networks involve hierarchical modeling. We believe that similar results can be obtained with simpler models that require less computational effort, as long as appropriate restrictions are placed on parameters in order to ensure propriety of posterior distributions. In particular, we adopt a model first introduced by Lee (1999) that utilizes an improper prior for all parameters. Straightforward Gibbs sampling is possible, with the exception of the bias parameters, which are embedded in nonlinear sigmoidal functions. In addition to the problems posed by nonlinearity, direct sampling from the posterior distributions of the bias parameters is compounded due to the duplication of hidden nodes, which is a source of multimodality. In this regard, we focus on sampling from the marginal posterior distribution of the bias parameters with Markov chain Monte Carlo methods that combine traditional Metropolis sampling with a slice sampler described by Neal (1997, 2001). The methods are illustrated with data examples that are largely confined to the analysis of nonparametric regression models.

본 연구에서는 지구물리 자료의 베이지안 역산을 효과적으로 수행하는 방법에 관해 논의하였다. 베이지안 처리에서 가장 문제가 되는 사전확률분포를 구하기 위해 지구통계학적 방법을 적용하였으며, 사후확률분포의 추정을 위해 MCMC(Markov Chain Monte Carlo) 방법을 적용하였다. 쌍극자배열 전기비저항 탐사 자료의 2차원 역산을 위해 슐럼버저배열 전기비저항탐사 자료와 시추공 자료를 사전 정보로 이용하였으며, 이들 사전정보에 대해 지구통계학적 방법을 적용하여 사전확률분포를 작성하였다. 쌍극자배열 전기비저항 탐사 자료를 최대 우도함수로 하는 사후확률분포는 차원이 매우 높은 적분을 요구하므로, 이를 추정하기 위해 MCMC기술을 적용하였으며, 보다 효율적인 접근을 위해 Gibbs샘플링 방법을 이용하였다. 그 결과 비모수적 방식으로 사후확률분포를 분석함으로써 보다 신뢰성 있는 해를 구할 수 있었으며, 주변화(marginalization)된 사후확률분포를 이용하여 다양한 분석을 적용할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 제로팽창 음이항(ZINB) 회귀모형에서 회귀계수에 대한 추론방법으로 마코프체인몬테카를로(MC MC) 기법을 이용한 베이지안 추론방법을 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 고려한 ZINB 회귀모형은 반응변수의 평균뿐만 아니라 제로팽창확률에 대한 회귀모형을 고려한 것으로서 Jang, et al.(2010)의 연구를 확장한 것이다. 아울러 실제사례에 본 연구에서 제안한 베이지안 추론방법을 적용하고 과대산포를 허용하지 않는 제로팽창 포아송(ZIP) 회귀모형과 적합결과를 DIC를 이용하여 비교하였다. 실제 사례분석 결과 ZINB 회귀모형의 DIC가 ZIP모형보다 작게 나타나 ZINB 회귀모형이 ZIP 회귀모형보다 잘 적합되었음을 알 수 있었다.

극치사상을 예측하기 위한 기존의 빈도분석 결과의 이용에 대한 많은 문제점들이 부각되고 있다. 특히, 통계적 모형을 이용하기 위해서 흔히 사용되는 점근적 모형 (asymptotic model)의 합리적인 검토 없는 외삽 (extrapolation)은 산정된 확률 값을 과대 또는 과소평가하는 문제를 일으켜, 예측결과에 대한 불확실성을 과다하게 산정함으로써 불확실성에 대한 신뢰도를 감소시키는 문제가 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 국내에서 극치강우사상을 포함한 강우자료의 빈도분석에 대한 연구사례를 제공하고 점근적 모형을 사용하는 경우 발생되는 불확실성을 감소시키기 위한 방법론을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 극치강우사상의 빈도분석을 수행하는 데 있어서 최근 들어 여러 분야에서 다양하게 적용되고 있는 Bayesian MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) 방법을 사용하였으며, 그 결과를 최우추정방법 (Maximum likelihood estimation method)과 비교하였다. 특히 강우사상의 점 빈도분석에 흔히 이용되는 확률밀도함수로 GEV (Generalized Extreme Value) 분포와 Gumbel 분포를 모두 고려하여 두 분포의 결과를 비교하였으며, 이 과정에서 각각의 산정결과 및 불확실성은 근사식을 이용한 최우추정방법과 Bayesian 방법을 이용하여 각각 비교 및 분석되었다.
