This study analyzes global inflation synchronization and derives policy implications for the Korean economy. Unlike previous studies that assume a single global inflation factor, this study investigates if inflation in Korea can be explained further by other global inflation factors. Our principal component analysis provides three principal components for global inflation that are linked to the Korea inflation rate - the first component is closely related to OECD inflation, and the second and third components reflect China's inflation. This study empirically demonstrates via in-sample fitting and out-of-sample forecasting that the three principal components of global inflation play a significant role in explaining and predicting Korean inflation in the short-term, while their role is limited in the mid-term. Domestic macroeconomic variables are found to be more important for the mid-term movements of the Korean inflation rate. The empirical results here suggest that the Bank of Korea should focus more on domestic economic conditions than on global inflation when implementing monetary policy because global factors are likely to be already reflected in domestic macro-variables in the mid-term.

This paper presents a hybrid method for recognizing the faces by using zero mean and principal component analysis. Zero mean is applied to reduce the 1st order statistics to data nonlinearities. PCA is also used to derive an orthonormal basis which directly leads to dimensionality reduction, and possibly to feature extraction of face image. The proposed method has been applied to the problems for recognizing the 20 face images(10 persons * 2 scenes) of 324*243 pixels from Yale face database. The 3 distances such as city-block, Euclidean, negative angle are used as measures when match the probe images to the nearest gallery images. The experimental results show that the proposed method has a superior recognition performances(speed, rate). The negative angle has been relatively achieved more an accurate similarity than city-block or Euclidean.

One of the most widely used methods for dimensionality reduction is principal component analysis (PCA). However, the reduced dimensions from PCA do not provide a clear interpretation with respect to the original features because they are linear combinations of a large number of original features. This interpretation problem can be overcome by feature selection approaches that identifying the best subset of given features. In this study, we propose an unsupervised feature selection method based on the geometrical information of PCA loading vectors. Experimental results from a simulation study demonstrated the efficiency and usefulness of the proposed method.

Line spectrum pair(LSP) 계수는 양자화 오류에 강하고. 선형 릴간에 효율적이며, 필터의 안정성 판정이 용이하므로 LPC를 대신하여 음성 부호화에 널리 사용되고 있다. 일반적으로 LSP 계수간에는 일정한 상관관계가 나타나고, 이 특성을 이용하면 LSP 계수의 부호량을 줄일 수 있는 가능성이 있나. 본 논문에서는 LSP 계수를 압축하기 위해 principal component analysis(PCA)를 사용한 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법에서는 LSP 계수를 Karhunen-Loeve(KL) 변환해 에너지가 집중되는 고유치(eigenvalue)와 고유벡터(eigenvector)를 찾고 값을 양자화 한다. 성능 평가를 위해 2.4kbps MELP(mixed excitation linear prediction)와 8kbps QCELP(qualcumn code excited linear prediction) 음성 부호화기를 사용해 결과 값을 비교했고, 압축률이 증가하는 것을 확인했다.

Many recent events, such as terrorist attacks, exposed defects in most sophisticated security systems. Therefore, it is necessary to improve security data systems based on the body or behavioral characteristics, often called biometrics. Together with the growing interest in the development of human and computer interface and biometric identification, human face recognition has become an active research area. Face recognition appears to offer several advantages over other biometric methods. Nowadays, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) has been widely adopted for the face recognition algorithm. Yet still, PCA has limitations such as poor discriminatory power and large computational load. This paper proposes a novel algorithm for face recognition using a mid band frequency component of partial information which is used for PCA representation. Because the human face has even symmetry, half of a face is sufficient for face recognition. This partial information saves storage and computation time. In comparison with the traditional use of PCA, the proposed method gives better recognition accuracy and discriminatory power. Furthermore, the proposed method reduces the computational load and storage significantly.

In order to guarantee the process safety and prevent accidents, the deviations from normal operating conditions should be monitored and their root causes have to be identified as soon as possible. The statistical theories-based method among various fault diagnosis methods has been gaining popularity, due to simplicity and quickness. However, according to fault magnitudes, the scalar value generated by statistical methods can be changed and this point can lead to produce wrong information. To solve this difficulty, this work employs PCA (Principal Component Analysis) based method with qualitative information. In the case study of our previous study, the number of assumed faults is much smaller than that of process variables. In the case study of this study, the number of predefined faults is 19, while that of process variables is 6. It means that a fault diagnosis becomes more difficult and it is really hard to isolate a single fault with a small number of variables. The PCA model is constructed under normal operation data in order to get a loading vector and the data set of assumed faulty conditions is applied with PCA model. The significant changes on PC (Principal Components) axes are monitored with CUSUM (Cumulative Sum Control Chart) and recorded to make the information, which can be used to identify the types of fault.

Machine fault diagnosis recovers all the studies that aim to detect automatically faults or damages on machines. Generally, it is very difficult to diagnose a machine fault by conventional methods based on mathematical models because of the complexity of the real world systems and the obvious existence of nonlinear factors. This study develops an automatic machine fault diagnosis system that uses pattern recognition techniques such as principal component analysis (PCA) and artificial neural networks (ANN). The sounds emitted by the operating machine, a drill in this case, are obtained and analyzed for the different operating conditions. The specific machine conditions considered in this research are the undamaged drill and the defected drill with wear. Principal component analysis is first used to reduce the dimensionality of the original sound data. The first principal components are then used as the inputs of a neural network based classifier to separate normal and defected drill sound data. The results show that the proposed PCA-ANN method can be used for the sounds based automated diagnosis system.

본 논문에서는 독립성분해석을 이용한 영상분리에 있어서의 잡음에 대한 강인성에 대한 주성분해석과 비교 연구를 함으로써, 독립성분해석(Independent Component Analysis, ICA)기법의 효율성을 고찰하고 분석하고자 한다. 원래의 인식 시스템 모델에 잡음을 주었을 때, ICA를 이용한 영상 분리의 잡음에 대한 강인성은 주성분 해석(Principal Component Analysis, PCA)기법에서 보다 더 잡음에 강인한 성질을 내포하고 있는데, 이는 PCA 보다 ICA가 분리하려는 영상정보의 상호관계를 더 약화시키는 작용을 하기 때문이다. 이러한 특성은 모의실험을 통해 확인되었다.

본 논문에서는 다중해상도에서 기존의 그레이 블록 거리(grey block distance; GBD, 이하 GBD)알고리즘과 비교하여 이차원 영상간의 상대적 식별을 더 용이하게 하기 위한 새로운 GBD 알고리즘 방법을 제안한다. 이 제시된 방법은 다중해상도에서 기존의 GBD 알고리즘과 비교해서 영상이 급격히 변화하는 부분의 정보를 잃지 않게 개선할 수 있었다. 모의 실험 예로서 주성분분석(principal component analysis; 이하 PCA)기법과 독립성분분석(independent component analysis; 이하 ICA)기법을 적용하여 유용성과 제안된 방법이 이전의 연구보다 k가 감소할 때 편차는 줄어들어 좋은 영상 분류 특징을 보였으며, ICA가 PCA에 비하여 영상간의 상대적 식별을 용이하게 하여 빨리 수렴이 되는 것을 모의 실험을 통하여 확인하였다.

EEG-based brain-computer interfaces has focused on explicitly expressed intentions to assist physically impaired patients. For EEG-based-computer interfaces to function effectively, it should be able to understand users' implicit information. Since it is hard to gather EEG signals of human brains, we do not have enough training data which are essential for proper classification performance of implicit intention. In this paper, we improve the subject independent classification of implicit intention through the generation of additional training data. In the first stage, we perform the PCA (principal component analysis) of training data in a bid to remove redundant components in the components within the input data. After the dimension reduction by PCA, we train ICA (independent component analysis) network whose outputs are statistically independent. We can get additional training data by adding Gaussian noises to ICA outputs and projecting them to input data domain. Through simulations with EEG data provided by CNSL, KAIST, we improve the classification performance from 65.05% to 66.69% with Gamma components. The proposed sample generation method can be applied to any machine learning problem with fewer samples.
