Over the last decade, considerable interest has focused on sample size estimation in the design of clinical trials. The resulting literature is scattered over many textbooks and journals. This paper presents these methods in a single review and comments on their application in practice.

The resistance spot welding process has been extensively used for joining of sheet metals, which are subject to variation of many process variables. Many qualitative analyses of sampled process variables have been successfully attempted to achieve a uniform nugget size. In this paper, the electrode movement signal which is a good indicative of the nugget size was examined by introducing a mathematical model with four parameters. A neural network method was applied for the estimation of the nugget size by four parameters. The prediction by the neural network is in good agreement with the actual nugget size. The results are quite promising in that the qualitative estimation of the invisible nugget size can be achieved without destructive testing of the welds.

The resistance spot welding process has been extensively used for joining of sheet metals, which are subject to variation of many process variables. Many qualitive analyses of sampled process variables have been attempted to predict nugget size. In this paper, dynamic resistance and electrode movement signal which is a good indicative of the nugget size was examined by introducing an artificial neural network estimator. An artificial neural feedforward network with back-propagation of error was applied for the estimation of the nugget size. The prediction by the neural network is in good agreement with the actual nugget size for resistance spot welding of galvanized steel. The results are quite promising in that the quantitative estimation of the invisible nugget size can be achieved without conventional destructive testing of welds.

We propose an adaptive zoom motion estimation method where a picture is divided into two areas based on the distance information with a depth camera : the one is object area and the other is background area. In the proposed method, the zoom motion is only applied to the object area except the background area. Further, the block size of motion estimation for the object area is set to smaller than that of background area. This adaptive zoom motion estimation method can be reduced at the complexity of motion estimation and can be improved at the motion estimation performance by reducing the block size of the object area in comparison with the conventional zoom motion estimation method. Based on the simulation results, the proposed method is compared with the conventional methods in terms of motion estimation accuracy and computational complexity.

This paper deals with the comparison of parameter estimation methods in a 3-parameter Kappa distribution which is sometimes used in flood frequency analysis. Method of moment estimation(MME), L-moment estimation(L-ME), and maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) are applied to estimate three parameters. The performance of these methods are compared by Monte-carlo simulations. Especially for computing MME and L-ME, three dimensional nonlinear equations are simplified to one dimensional equation which is calculated by the Newton-Raphson iteration under constraint. Based on the criterion of the mean squared error, L-ME (or MME) is recommended to use for small sample size( n$\le$100) while MLE is good for large sample size.

Generally, moving images contain the various components in motions, which reange from a static object and background to a fast moving object. To extract the accurate motion parameters, we must consider the various motions. That requires a wide search egion in motion estimation. The wide search, however, causes a high computational complexity. If we have a few knowledge about the motion direction and magnitude before motion estimation, we can determine the search location and search window size using the already-known information about the motion. In this paper, we present a local adaptive motion estimation approach that predicts a block motion based on spatio-temporal neighborhood blocks and adaptively defines the search location and search window size. This paper presents a technique for reducing computational complexity, while having high accuracy in motion estimation. The proposed algorithm is introduced the forward and backward projection techniques. The search windeo size for a block is adaptively determined by previous motion vectors and prediction errors. Simulations show significant improvements in the qualities of the motion compensated images and in the reduction of the computational complexity.

In this paper, the efficient motion estimation and compensation method for 3 dimensional wavelet transform is proposed. Recently, since the compression performance and scalable functionality are provided by wavelet transform, many researches have been carried out for applying to the video compression. For the temporal filtering, motion estimation and compensation techniques are used, but the unconnected pixels, which are produced by motion compensation result into the degradation of coding performance and quality of the picture. For the efficient motion compensated temporal filtering by reducing the number of these unconnected pixels, we propose the variable block size motion estimation and compensation method. Also we propose a method that determines the block size using rate-distortion optimization technique according to the local characteristics of the frame. The simulation results show the improved performances than the MPEG-4 scalable coding methods and the 3 dimensional wavelet coding methods using fixed block size motion estimation and compensation.

This study examined a radar signal active cancelation technique, which is a theoretical way of achieving stealth by employing a baseband process that involves sampling the incoming hostile radar signal, analyzing its characteristics, and generating countermeasure signals to cancel out the linear-FM signal of the hostile radar signal reflected from the airborne target. To successfully perform an active cancelation, the effects of errors in the countermeasure signal were first analyzed. To generate the countermeasure signal that requires very fast and accurate processing, the down-sampling technique with the suboptimal maximum likelihood estimation (sMLE) scheme was proposed to improve the speed of the estimation process while preserving the estimation accuracy. The simulation results showed that the proposed down-sampling technique using a 2048 FFT size yields substantial power reduction despite its small FFT size and exhibits similar performance to the sMLE scheme using the 32768 FFT size.

소프트웨어 규모 측정에 국제표준(IFPUG, FPA)에 기반한 기능점수 방식은 개발자 관점이 아닌 사용자 관점의 접근이라는 장점으로 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 현재의 기능점수 측정 방식은 복잡도 적용에서의 상한이 존재하는 등 문제점을 내포하고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 복잡도 상한의 문제를 극복하고, 회귀식을 내장하고 있어 쉽게 소프트웨어 규모를 측정할 수 있으며, 특히 대형 애플리케이션에도 적용할 수 있는 개선된 기능점수 측정모델을 제시한다. 조직내에서 운영중인 10개 애플리케이션에 적용하여 적합성을 평가한 결과, 제시한 개선 모형이 기존의 FPA(Function Point Analysis) 방식보다 LOC(Line of Code) 규모를 비교하여 상관관계가 더 높은 장점을 확인할 수 있었다.

Existence of Gibbs' phenomenon has been well known in wavelet expansions. But the estimation of its size is another problem. Because of the oscillation of wavelets, it is not easy to estimate the Gibbs size of wavelet expansions. For wavelets defined via Fourier transforms, we give a new formula to calculate the size of overshoot. But using this we compute the size of Gibbs effect for Barttle-Lemarier wavelets.
