The main reason for deinterlacing is frame-rate conversion. The other reason for deinterlacing is of course improve clarity and reduce flicker. Using a deinterlacer can help clarity and stability of the image. Many deinterlacing algorithms are available in image processing literatures such as ELA and E-ELA. This paper propose a new statistical deinterlacing algorithm based on statistical tests such as the Bartlett test, the Levene test and the Kruskal-Wallis test. The results obtained from the proposed algorithms are found to be comparable to those from many well-known deinterlacers. However, the results in the proposed deinterlacers are found to be more efficient than other deinterlacers.

완전확률화모형 및 랜덤화블럭모형하에서의 주요한 다중비교 분석기법들을 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 검토하고자 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 순위변환과 최소유의차검정을 이용한 다중비교 분석기법이 모수적 ANOVA F 검정과 Fisher의 유의차검정, 비모수적 Kruskal-Wallis 검정과 최소유의차검정 및 Friedman 검정과 최소유의차검정을 이용한 분석기법보다 전체실험오차율, 전체실험검정력 및 개별쌍검정력 면에서 상대적으로 뛰어남을 보여준다. 즉 순위변환한 ANOVA F 검정의 전체실험오차율은 명목상의 유의수준을 잘 유지하고 있으며, 전체실험검정력 및 개별쌍검정력은 모수적 ANOVA F 검정과 Kruskal-Wallis 검정 및 Friedman 검정기법보다 전반적으로 우수함을 알 수 있다.

In interpreting stream water quality data, scientific or statistical mehtods should be employed. Classical parametric statistical methods may not be adopted in analyzing water quality data, due to the violation of normality. In this study, nonparametric statistical methods, such as Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test, were used in comparing water quality data from several monitoring stations. Water quality data used are those collected Bokha watershed, located in Ichon-city, Kyonggi province. Based on the test results, domestic sewage is the major pollution source. A couple of sub-watersheds with a large number of livestock do not show significant differences in water quality parameters. It should be noted that comparison of mean values of water quality parameters is difficult to relate water quality with watershed characteristics. The results also indicate that livestock farming does not significantly affect the water quality.

Parallelism tests are proposed for slope in the simple linear regression models. In this paper, we suggest the parametric test using HSD testing method (Tukey,1953) and distribution-free test using Kruskal-wallis (1952) for more than three slopes. Monte Carlo simulation study is adapted to compare the power of the proposed methods with Wilks' Lambda multivariate procedure.

Kruskal and Wallis (1952) proposed a nonparametric method to test the differences between more than three independent treatments. This procedure uses rank in mixed sample combined with more than three unlike populations. This paper proposes a the new procedure based on joint placements for a one-way layout as extension of the joint placements described in Chung and Kim (2007). A Monte Carlo simulation study is adapted to compare the power of the proposed method with previous methods.

This study presents a bivariate extension of the goodness-of-fit measure for regional frequency distributions developed by Hosking and Wallis [1993] for use with the method of L-moments. Utilising the approximate joint normal distribution of the regional L-skewness and L-kurtosis, a graphical representation of the confidence region on the L-moment diagram can be constructed as an ellipsoid. Candidate distributions can then be accepted where the corresponding the oretical relationship between the L-skewness and L-kurtosis intersects the confidence region, and the chosen distribution would be the one that minimises the Mahalanobis distance measure. Based on a set of Monte Carlo simulations it is demonstrated that the new bivariate measure generally selects the true population distribution more frequently than the original method. An R-code implementation of the method is available for download free-of-charge from the GitHub code depository and will be demonstrated on a case study of annual maximum series of peak flow data from a homogeneous region in Italy.

Objectives: This study evaluated the effects of adhesion variables such as the priming concepts of canal wall and the curing modes of adhesives on the sealing ability of a resin-based root canal filling system. Materials and Methods: Apical microleakage of the Resilon-RealSeal systems filled with 3 different combinations of adhesion variables was compared with the conventional gutta-percha filling using a dye penetration method. Experimental groups were SEDC, Resilon (Resilon Research LLC) filling with self-etch RealSeal (SybronEndo) primer and dual-cure RealSeal sealer; NELC, Resilon filling with no etching, Scotchbond Multi-Purpose (3M ESPE) primer application and light-curing adhesive; and TELC, Resilon filling with Scotchbond Multi-Purpose primer and adhesive used under total etch / wet bonding and lightcure protocols. GPCS, gutta-percha filling with conventional AH26 plus sealer, was the control group. Results: The median longitudinal dye penetration length of TELC was significantly shorter than those of GPCS and SEDC (Kruskal-Wallis test, p < 0.05). In the cross-sectional microleakage scores, TELC showed significant differences from other groups at 2 to 5 mm from the apical foramen (Kruskal-Wallis test, p < 0.05). Conclusions: When a resin-based root canal filling material was used, compared to the self-etching primer and the dual-cure sealer, the total etch/wet-bonding with primer and light-curing of adhesive showed improved apical sealing and was highly recommended.

This study was conducted to investigate the habitat use of White-naped Cranes Grus vipio in Han river estuary during the wintering period from 2006 to 2008 (October$\sim$March). The average numbers of wintering White-naped Cranes were 106.6$\pm$21.7 (Mean$\pm$SD) individuals, and the highest number of 140 individuals were recorded in the early January, 2008. The wintering habitat use of White-naped Cranes between rice field and mudflat was not significantly different (Mann-Whitney test. p=0.40) during the wintering period. However, White-naped Cranes spent more time on the rice field in the early winter (p<0.01), and on the mudflat in the late winter(p<0.01). There was not a difference of the habitat use rate on middle winter. White-naped cranes used four different sites of rice field: Hongdopyoung, Pyoungdong, Ihwadong and Janghang rice fields. Among them, Hongdopyoung was the main foraging site. There was significant differences of habitat use ratio in the early and mid winter ((Kruskal-wallis test. p<0.01). White-naped Cranes used mudflat area from Gimpo Daegyo to Nusanri of Han river estuary. Especially, they preferred four sites from Gimpo Daegyo to Ilsan Daegyo more than the other sites. Habitat use rate of mud flats were significantly different among each site during the wintering period (Kruskal-wallis test. p<0.01)

It is demonstrated that many standard nonparametric test such as the Mann-Whitney-Wilcoxon test, the Fisher-Yates test, the Savage test and the median test are admissible for a two-sample nonparametric testing problem. The admissibility of the Kruskal-Wallis test is demonstrated for a nonparametric one-way layout testing problem.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to design an intraoral environment simulator and to assess the accuracy of two intraoral scanners using the simulator. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A box-shaped intraoral environment simulator was designed to simulate two specific intraoral environments. The cast was scanned 10 times by Identica Blue (MEDIT, Seoul, South Korea), TRIOS (3Shape, Copenhagen, Denmark), and CS3500 (Carestream Dental, Georgia, USA) scanners in the two simulated groups. The distances between the left and right canines (D3), first molars (D6), second molars (D7), and the left canine and left second molar (D37) were measured. The distance data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis test. RESULTS. The differences in intraoral environments were not statistically significant (P>.05). Between intraoral scanners, statistically significant differences (P<.05) were revealed by the Kruskal-Wallis test with regard to D3 and D6. CONCLUSION. No difference due to the intraoral environment was revealed. The simulator will contribute to the higher accuracy of intraoral scanners in the future.
