This study presents a regional, probabilistic framework for estimating streamflow via spatial scaling in the Great Lakes basin, which is the largest lake system in the world. The framework follows a two-fold strategy including (1) a quadratic-programming based optimization model a priori to explore the model structure, and (2) a time-varying hierarchical Bayesian model based on insights found in the optimization model. The proposed model is developed to explore three innovations in hierarchical modeling for reconstructing historical streamflow at ungaged sites: (1) information of physical characteristics is utilized in spatial scaling, (2) a time-varying approach is introduced based on climate information, and (3) heteroscedasticity in residual errors is considered to improve streamflow predictive distributions. The proposed model is developed and calibrated in a hierarchical Bayesian framework to pool regional information across sites and enhance regionalization skill. The model is validated in a cross-validation framework along with four simpler nested formulations and the optimization model to confirm specific hypotheses embedded in the full model structure. The nested models assume a similar hierarchical Bayesian structure to our proposed model with their own set of simplifications and omissions. Results suggest that each of three innovations improve historical out-of-sample streamflow reconstructions although these improvements vary corrsponding to each innovation. Finally, we conclude with a discussion of possible model improvements considered by additional model structure and covariates.

Hierarchical structure of star-forming regions is widespread and may be characteristic of all star formation. We studied the hierarchical structure of star-forming regions in the Local Group galaxies (M31, M33, Phoenix, Pegasus, Sextans A, Sextans B, WLM). The star-forming regions were selected from Galaxy Evolution Explorer (GALEX) far-UV imaging in various detection thresholds for investigating hierarchical structure. We examined the spatial distribution of the hot massive stars within star-forming regions from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) multi-band photometry. Small compact groups arranged within large complexes. The cumulative mass distribution follows a power law. The results allow us to understand the hierarchical structure of star formation and recent evolution of the Local Group galaxies.

본 연구는 대구시 상업지역의 공간분포 및 계층구조 변화를 분석한 것이다. 분석기법으로 집중지수, 집중화계수 및 특화계수를 이용하였으며, 1985년$\sim$2003년의 기간을 고찰했다. 도시인구의 성장과 함께 도시적 토지이용이 증가되었다. 인구 성장 118%에 비해 상업입지량 증가율은 330%에 달하였다. 주요 상업적 토지이용은 판매업이 가장 높고 그 다음이 업무, 식품 순이다. 업종별 공간 분포의 분석에서 숙박, 의료, 운수창고 및 위락 등이 집중도가 높으며, 도시 외곽으로 갈수록 특수상업지구를 형성하였다. 판매업의 분산화가 가장 높게 나타나고 있으며, 식품, 업무도 분산 성향이 높았다. 한편 분석기간 동안, 도심부의 상업 집중 성향이 나타나고 있다. 도심핵의 공간적 확장과 함께 도심 주변지역의 상업 집중 또한 증가하는 추세이다. 도시상업의 공간구조는 단핵도시의 성격이 강화되고 있다. 그러나 내부시가지의 결절에 2계층의 중심지들이 생성되면서 다핵화의 과정에 있고, 특히 동대구역 역세권 지역은 부도심으로 성장할 잠재력을 나타내고 있다.

실내공간이 점차 복잡해짐에 따라 실외뿐만 아니라 실내에서도 LBS (Location Based Service)의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 그러나 실생활에 편의를 주는 LBS의 이면에는 개인의 위치 노출과 이로 인한 프라이버시 침해의 문제가 포함되어 있다. 위치 K-익명화 기술은 적어도 K-1명의 다른 사용자를 포함시키는 ASR (Anonymized Spatial Region)을 생성하여 위치를 은폐하여 이러한 프라이버시 문제를 해결하는 대표적인 연구 분야이다. 하지만 기존 연구들은 대부분 유클리디안 거리를 기반으로 하는 실외 공간에서 이루어 졌으며, 구조물에 의해 제약이 있는 실내공간에 적용시키기에는 한계점이 존재한다. 이에 본 논문에서는 실내공간의 구조와 위치 표현 방법을 고려하여 위치 은폐를 위한 K-익명화 방법을 제안한다. 위치의 은폐를 위해 실내공간의 계층 구조를 생성하여 이 구조에서 K-1명의 다른 사용자를 포함하도록 노드를 확장시키는 방법을 소개한다. 또한 제안된 방법의 성능을 분석하기 위하여 K와 계층구조의 특성에 따른 비용모델도 함께 제시한다.

In this paper we consider estimation of cancer incidence rates for local areas. The raw estimates usually are based on small sample sizes and hence are usually unreliable. A hierarchical Bayes generalized linear model is used which connects the local areas thereby enabling one to 'borrow strength' Random effects with pairwise difference priors model the spatial structure in the data. The methods are applied to cancer incidence estimation for census tracts in a certain region of the state of New York.

In this study we analyze categorical data by means of spatial statistics and echelon analysis. To do this, we first determine the hierarchical structure of a given contingency table by using echelon dendrogram then, we detect candidates of hotspots given as the top echelon in the dendrogram. Next, we evaluate spatial scan statistics for the zones of significantly high or low rates based on the likelihood ratio. Finally, we detect hotspots of any size and shape based on spatial scan statistics.

본 논문에서 우리는 공간객체를 취급하는 새로운 동적 공간색인구조인 PR-화 일과 계층별 공간국부성 측도인 변형된 계층분산을 제안한다. 다차원 검색공간이 순환 도메 인을 갖는다는 가정하에서, PR-화일은 공간적으로 이웃하는 객체들을 결집시키기 위해 변형된 계층분산을 이용한다. PR-화일의 삽입과 분할 알고리즘은 객체의 분포 형태에 관계없이 낮은 계층분산값을갖는 색인을 유지시킨다. 실험 결과에 의하면, PR-화일은 낮은 계층분산값을 갖는 색인을 사용함으로써 객체의 검색시 적중율을 높이며, 버켓의 용량이 커질수록 버켓 이용율을 향상시키는 특성을 보인다.

This study aims to investigate the effects of market commonality and resource similarity on price competition and the recursive consequences in the Korean lodging market. Price comparison among hotels in the same geographic market has been facilitated through the development of information technology, rendering little search cost of consumers. While the literature implies the heterogeneous price attack and response among hotels, a limited number of empirical researches focus on the asymmetric and recursive pattern in the competitive dynamics. This study empirically examines the price interactions in the Korean lodging market based on the theoretical framework of competitive price interactions and countervailing power. Demonstrating superiority to the spatial lag model and the ordinary least squares in the estimation, the results from spatial error model suggest that the hotels with longer operational history pose an asymmetric impact on the price of the newer hotels. The asymmetry is also found in chain hotels over the independent, further implying the possibility of predatory pricing. The findings of this study provide the evidence of a hierarchical structure in the price competition, with different countervailing power by the resources of the hotels. Theoretical and managerial implications are discussed, with suggestions for future study.

In this paper, we propose a lossless progressive image transmission scheme using hierarchical pyramid structure and classified vector quantizer in DCT domain. By adopting DCT to the hierarchical pyramid signals, we can reduce the spatial redundance. Moreover, the DCT coefficients can be encoded efficiently by using classified vector quantizer in DCT domain. The classifier is simply based on the variance of a subblock. Also, the mirror set of training set of images can improve the robustness of codebooks. Progressive image transmission can be achieved through following processes: from top to bottom level of planes in a pyramid, and from high to low AC variance class in a plane. Some simulation results with real images show that the proposed coding scheme yields a good performance at below 0.3 bpp and an excellent result at 0.409 bpp. The proposed coding scheme is well suited for lossless progressive image transmission as well as image data compression.

Bag of visual words is a popular model in human action recognition, but usually suffers from loss of spatial and temporal configuration information of local features, and large quantization error in its feature coding procedure. In this paper, to overcome the two deficiencies, we combine sparse coding with spatio-temporal pyramid for human action recognition, and regard this method as the baseline. More importantly, which is also the focus of this paper, we find that there is a hierarchical structure in feature vector constructed by the baseline method. To exploit the hierarchical structure information for better recognition accuracy, we propose a tree regularized classifier to convey the hierarchical structure information. The main contributions of this paper can be summarized as: first, we introduce a tree regularized classifier to encode the hierarchical structure information in feature vector for human action recognition. Second, we present an optimization algorithm to learn the parameters of the proposed classifier. Third, the performance of the proposed classifier is evaluated on YouTube, Hollywood2, and UCF50 datasets, the experimental results show that the proposed tree regularized classifier obtains better performance than SVM and other popular classifiers, and achieves promising results on the three datasets.
