Purpose: Recently, propensity score matching method is used in a large number of research paper, nonetheless, there is no research using fitness test of before and after propensity score matching. Therefore, comparing fitness of before and after propensity score matching by logistic regression analysis using data from 'online survey of adolescent health' is the main significance of this research. Method: Data that has similar propensity in two groups is extracted by using propensity score matching then implement logistic regression analysis on before and after matching separately. Results: To test fitness of logistic regression analysis model, we use Model summary, -2Log Likelihood and Hosmer-Lomeshow methods. As a result, it is confirmed that the data after matching is more suitable for logistic regression analysis than data before matching. Conclusion: Therefore, better result which has appropriate fitness will be shown by using propensity score matching shows better result which has better fitness.

Most methods for fusion-based finger vein recognition were to fuse different features or matching scores from more than one trait to improve performance. To overcome the shortcomings of "the curse of dimensionality" and additional running time in feature extraction, in this paper, we propose a finger vein recognition technology based on matching score-level fusion of a single trait. To enhance the quality of finger vein image, the contrast-limited adaptive histogram equalization (CLAHE) method is utilized and it improves the local contrast of normalized image after ROI detection. Gabor features are then extracted from eight channels based on a bank of Gabor filters. Instead of using the features for the recognition directly, we analyze the contributions of Gabor feature from each channel and apply a weighted matching score-level fusion rule to get the final matching score, which will be used for the last recognition. Experimental results demonstrate the CLAHE method is effective to enhance the finger vein image quality and the proposed matching score-level fusion shows better recognition performance.

The propensity score matching method is a statistical method used to reduce selection bias in observational studies and to show effects similar to random allocation. There are many observational studies in dentistry research, and differences in baseline covariates between the control and case groups affect the outcome. In order to reduce the bias due to confounding variables, the propensity scores are used by equating groups based on the baseline covariates. This method is effective, especially when there are many covariates or the sample size is small. In this paper, the propensity score matching method was explained in a simple way with a dental example by using R software. This simulated data were obtained from one of retrospective study. The control group and the case group were matched according to the propensity score and compared before and after treatment. The propensity score matching method could be an alternative to compensate for the disadvantage of the observation study by reducing the bias based on the covariates with the propensity score.

Jain 등은 한 지문 영상에 특징점 기반 지문 정합 방법과 필터뱅크 기반 지문 정합 방법을 적용해 두 정합 방법의 성능을 혼합하는 혼합형 지문정합 방법을 제안하고, 이 방법이 두 가지 각 정합 방법에 비해 높은 성능을 보인다는 것을 실험을 통해 입증하였다［l］. 그러나 이 방법은 혼합을 수행할 때 두 정합 방법을 별도로 수행한 후, 각 방법의 정합도(matching score)에 가중치를 부여해 최종 정합도를 결정하므로 두 정합 방법의 특성을 상쇄 시키는 결과를 얻게 된다. 본 논문에서는 두 가지 정합 방법을 특징값 추출 과정에서 혼합하는 방법을 제안하였다. 이 방법은 필터뱅크 기반 방법보다는 낮은 ERR(Equal eRror Rate)을 보이나 특징점 기반 방법보다 높은 ERR을 보였다. 이에 본 논문에서는 적응적인 정합도 혼합방법을 제안하여, 두 가지 방법의 특성을 살리도록 적응적으로 정합도를 선택하는 방법을 취했다. 이 방법을 이용해 Jain 등의 혼합형 방법보다 더 낮은 ERR을 얻을 수 있었다. 제안한 방법에 따라 NIST Special Database 14 지문 데이타로 실험한 결과 ERR에서 약 1%의 성능 향상을 보였다.

This paper introduces an efficient fingerprint matching method based on multiple reference minutiae points. First, we attempt to effectively align two fingerprints by employing multiple reference minutiae points. However, the corresponding minutiae points between two fingerprints are ambiguous since a minutia of one fingerprint can be a match to any minutia of the other fingerprint. Therefore, we introduce a novel method based on linear classification concept to establish minutiae correspondences between two fingerprints. Each minutiae correspondence represents a possible alignment. For each possible alignment, a matching score is computed using minutiae and ridge orientation features and the maximum score is then selected to represent the similarity of the two fingerprints. The proposed method is evaluated using fingerprint databases, FVC2002 and FVC2004. In addition, we compare our approach with two existing methods and find that our approach outperforms them in term of matching accuracy, especially in the case of non-linear distorted fingerprints. Furthermore, the experiments show that our method provides additional advantages in low quality fingerprint images such as inaccurate position, missing minutiae, and spurious extracted minutiae.

This paper presents two adaptive fingerprint matching methods. First, we experiment an adaptive threshold selection of 1:N matching system in order to raise the reliability of the matching score. Second, we propose a adaptive threshold selection using fitting algorithm for high speed matching. The experiment was conducted on the NITZEN database, which has 5247 samples. Consequently, this paper shows that our suggested method can perform 1.88 times faster matching speed than the bidirectional matching speed. And, we prove that FRR of our suggested method decreases 1.43 % than that of the unidirectional matching.

본 논문에서는 지문 인식에 있어서 매칭 시간을 줄일 수 있는 효율적인 매칭 방법을 제안한다. 통상 지문의 특징점을 이용하여 지문 매칭을 수행하는 경우, 특징점간의 기하학적 유사성을 분석하여 두 지문의 매칭 점수를 계산한다. 이러한 기하학적 유사도를 계산하기 위해서는, 하나의 지문 데이터를 기준으로 다른 하나의 지문 데이터를 미리 정렬하는 과정이 필요하며, 정렬 결과에 따라 두 지문의 유사도가 달라지므로 통상의 지문 매칭에 있어서는 양방향 매칭을 통하여 최종 매칭 점수를 구한다. 양방향 매칭의 경우 단방향 매칭에 비하여 매칭 신뢰도는 높아지나 매칭에 걸리는 시간이 단방향 매칭에 비해 두 배로 걸린다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여, 본 논문에서는 대규모 지문 데이터 베이스에 대한 양방향 매칭 점수의 분포를 구하고, 이를 기초로 효율적인 1:N 지문 매칭방법을 제안하였다. 실험 결과는 이러한 방법이 유용함을 보여준다.

The Randomized Control Trial (RCT) is the most well-established and widely used statistical methodology in clinical research; however, applying thorough RCT to cancer patients presents challenges such as ethical concerns, high costs, short clinical periods, and limitations in collecting various side effects. To address this issue, the propensity score matching method, which takes advantage of the benefits of observational research while compensating for the drawbacks of randomized control trials, is used in a variety of fields. In recent years, 28 studies on the effectiveness of Korean medicine on tumors have been conducted abroad using the Propensity Score Matching Method, but none have been conducted in Korea. The majority of studies have focused on liver cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, and stomach cancer, with endpoints such as survival time, incidence rate, quality of life, and treatment outcomes revealing statistical differences in how Korean medicine intervention affects treatment outcomes. As a result, well-established studies using the propensity matching score methodology should be useful in evaluating the impact of Korean medicine in oncology treatments.

The purpose of this study is to examine the phonological awareness of hearing impaired children. A number of researches indicate that hearing impaired children have articulation disorders due to their impaired auditory feedback. However, in children who have the ability to distinguish certain phonemes, they sometimes show misarticulation of the phonemes. Phonological awareness refers to recognizing the speech-sound units and their forms in spoken language (Hong, 2001). The subjects who participated in the experiment are composed of four hearing impaired children (3 cochlear implanted children and 1 hearing aided child). Phonological Awareness was evaluated by the test battery developed by Paik et al. (2001). The subtests consisted of rhyme matching, onset matching I II, word initial segmentation and matching I II. If the children asked for retelling, it was retold to a maximum of 4 times. Each item score was 1 point. The results were compared to those of Paik et al. (2001). The results of study were that subject 1 showed superior rhyme matching ability, subjects 2 and 3 fair ability, and subject 4 inferior ability. In onset matching I, all subjects showed inferior ability except for subject 3. Interestingly, subjects 1 showed the lowest onset matching I score. In word initial segmentation and matching I, subjects 1 and 4 showed inferior ability and subjects 2 and 3 showed fair ability. In onset matching II, subject 2 showed the perfect score 10 even though she showed very low score. In word initial segmentation and matching II, only subjects 2 and 3 showed appropriate levels of the skill. The results show that the phonological awareness of hearing impaired children is different from that of normal children.
