In cancer microarray experiments, the experimenter or patient which is nested in each experimenter often shows quite heterogeneous error variability, which should be estimated for identifying a source of variation. Our study describes a Bayesian method which utilizes clinical information for identifying a set of DE genes for the class of subtypes as well as assesses and examines the experimenter effect and patient effect which is nested in each experimenter as a source of variation. We propose a Bayesian multilevel mixed effect model based on analysis of covariance (ANACOVA). The Bayesian multilevel mixed effect model is a combination of the multilevel mixed effect model and the Bayesian hierarchical model, which provides a flexible way of defining a suitable correlation structure among genes.

In this paper we propose a mixed-effects least squares support vector regression (LS-SVR) for longitudinal data. We add a random-effect term in the optimization function of LS-SVR to take random effects into LS-SVR for analyzing longitudinal data. We also present the model selection method that employs generalized cross validation function for choosing the hyper-parameters which affect the performance of the mixed-effects LS-SVR. A simulated example is provided to indicate the usefulness of mixed-effect method for analyzing longitudinal data.

This paper deals with a mixed logit model for vaccination data. The effect of a newly developed vaccine for a certain chicken disease can be evaluated by a noninfection rate after injecting chicken with the disease vaccine. But there are a lot of factors that might affect the noninfecton rate. Some of these are fixed and others are random. Random factors are sometimes coming from the sampling scheme for choosing experimental units. This paper suggests a mixed model when some fixed factors need to have different experimental sizes by an experimental design and illustrates how to estimate parameters in a suggested model.

Tsutakawa(1988) proposed a mixed model for using empirical Bayes method to study the geographic variability in mortality rates of a disease. In particular cases of the analysis in mortality rate, we need to consider the effect of time. If observed data are collected annually for the time period, then time effect will be emphasized. Here, an extended model for estimating the geographic effect and the mortality rates of the disease with time effect is proposed.

Contemporary biomedical data often involve an ill-posed problem owing to small sample size and large number of multi-collinear variables. Partial least squares (PLS) method could be a plausible alternative to an ill-conditioned ordinary least squares. However, in the case of a PLS model that includes a random-effect, how to deal with a random-effect or mixed effects remains a widely open question worth further investigation. In the present study, we propose a modified multivariate PLS method implementing mixed-effect model (PLSM). The advantage of PLSM is its versatility in handling serial longitudinal data or its ability for taking a randomeffect into account. We conduct simulations to investigate statistical properties of PLSM, and showcase its real clinical application to predict treatment outcome of esthetic surgical procedures of human faces. The proposed PLSM seemed to be particularly beneficial 1) when random-effect is conspicuous; 2) the number of predictors is relatively large compared to the sample size; 3) the multicollinearity is weak or moderate; and/or 4) the random error is considerable.

Accurate prediction of mixed ground conditions ahead of a tunnel face is of vital importance for safe excavation using tunnel boring machines (TBMs). Previous studies have primarily focused on electrical resistivity surveys from the ground surface for geotechnical investigation. In this study, an FE (finite element) numerical model was developed to simulate electrical resistivity surveys for the prediction of risky mixed ground conditions in front of a tunnel face. The proposed FE model is validated by comparing with the apparent electrical resistivity values obtained from the analytical solution corresponding to a vertical fault on the ground surface (i.e., a simplified model). A series of parametric studies was performed with the FE model to analyze the effect of geological and sensor geometric conditions on the electrical resistivity survey. The parametric study revealed that the interface slope between two different ground formations affects the electrical resistivity measurements during TBM excavation. In addition, a large difference in electrical resistivity between two different ground formations represented the dramatic effect of the mixed ground conditions on the electrical resistivity values. The parametric studies of the electrode array showed that the proper selection of the electrode spacing and the location of the electrode array on the tunnel face of TBM is very important. Thus, it is concluded that the developed FE numerical model can successfully predict the presence of a mixed ground zone, which enables optimal management of potential risks.

관측 가능한 변수들 사이의 관계를 묘사한 갈릴레오의 물리학 법칙 발견 이후, 과학은 큰 성과를 거두며 발전해왔다. 그러나, 관측할 수 없는 변량효과를 함께 이용하여 더 많은 자연 현상을 설명할 수 있게 되었고, 이를 이용한 최초의 통계적 모형인 혼합효과모형이 소개되었다. 계산기술의 발달과 더불어 복잡한 현상에 대한 추론을 위하여 혼합효과모형은 그 중요성이 더욱 커지고 있다. 이러한 혼합효과모형은 최근 다단계 일반화 선형모형을 포함한 여러 모형으로 확장되었으며, 관측할 수 없는 변량효과를 추론하기 위한 다단계 가능도가 제시되었다. 혼합효과모형 특집호를 통해 이러한 모형들이 여러 통계학적 문제점을 해결하는 과정을 제시하고, 앞으로 어떤 확장이 추가적으로 요구되는 지에 대하여 논할 것이다. 빈도록적 접근법과 베이지안 접근법을 함께 다룬다.

공간적으로 관측되는 연속형 자료를 분석하는 모형으로 공간적 상관관계를 고려한 다양한 정규모형이 지난 수십 년간 제안되었다. 그 중에서 공간효과를 랜덤효과로 모형화하는 공간선형모형(Spatial Linear Mixed Model; SLMM)이 가장 널리 활용되는 모형 중 하나일 것이다. 연결함수(link function)을 사용하면 SLMM을 비정규 데이터도 적용할 수 있는 일반화된 공간선형모형(Spatial Generalized Linear Mixed Model; SGLMM)으로 자연스럽게 확장할 수 있다. 이 논문에서는 가장 널리 활용되는 SGLMM을 알아보고 실제 데이터 적용사례를 R 패키지를 활용하여 제시하고자 한다.

본 논문은 불균형 자료에서 선형혼합모형에 적용되는 Akaike Information Criterion(AIC)의 효율에 대한 연구이다. Vaida와 Balanchard (2005)에 의해 제안된 cAIC(conditional AIC)는 mAIC(marginal AIC)가 임의효과의 예측에 대한 불확실성을 모형선택에서 반영하지 못하는 단점을 극복할 수 있는 방법이다. cAIC에 대한 이론적인 성질과 확장은 Liang 등 (2008)과 Greven과 Kneib (2010)에 의하여 연구되었다. cAIC의 형태는 자료의 구조에 영향을 받지는 않지만 선형혼합모형에서 모수의 추정 효율은 자료의 불균형의 정도에 따라 많은 영향을 받는 것이 알려져 있다. 기존의 연구에서 실시한 모든 모의실험이 자료가 균형인 경우에만 실행되어 자료의 불균형이 AIC에 근거한 혼합모형 선택 방법의 효율에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 알려져 있지 않다. 본 논문은 자료의 불균형이 모형선택 방법의 효율에 미치는 영향을 모의실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 자료의 불균형이 심해짐에 따라 AIC에 근거한 모형선택방법은 복잡한 모형을 선택하는 경향이 낮아짐을 보였다.

Small area estimation is a statistical inference method to overcome the large variance due to the small sample size allocated in a small area. Recently some nonparametric estimators have been applied to small area estimation. In this study, we suggest a nonparametric mixed effect small area estimator using kernel smoothing and compare the small area estimators using labor statistics.
