Predictive demand and collapse fragility functions are two essential components of the probabilistic seismic demand analysis that are commonly developed based on statistics with enormous, costly and time consuming data gathering. Although this approach might be justified for research purposes, it is not appealing for practical applications because of its computational cost. Thus, in this paper, Bayesian regression-based demand and collapse models are proposed to eliminate the need of time-consuming analyses. The demand model developed in the form of linear equation predicts overall maximum inter-story drift of the lowto mid-rise regular steel moment resisting frames (SMRFs), while the collapse model mathematically expressed by lognormal cumulative distribution function provides collapse occurrence probability for a given spectral acceleration at the fundamental period of the structure. Next, as an application, the proposed demand and collapse functions are implemented in a seismic fragility analysis to develop fragility and consequently seismic demand curves of three example buildings. The accuracy provided by utilization of the proposed models, with considering computation reduction, are compared with those directly obtained from Incremental Dynamic analysis, which is a computer-intensive procedure.

Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a clinical syndrome characterized by the onset and evolution of cognitive impairments, often considered a transitional stage to Alzheimer's disease (AD). The genetic traits of MCI patients who experience a rapid progression to AD can enhance early diagnosis capabilities and facilitate drug discovery for AD. While a genome-wide association study (GWAS) is a standard tool for identifying single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) related to a disease, it fails to detect SNPs with small effect sizes due to stringent control for multiple testing. Additionally, the method does not consider the group structures of SNPs, such as genes or linkage disequilibrium blocks, which can provide valuable insights into the genetic architecture. To address the limitations, we propose a Bayesian bi-level variable selection method that detects SNPs associated with time of conversion from MCI to AD. Our approach integrates group inclusion indicators into an accelerated failure time model to identify important SNP groups. Additionally, we employ data augmentation techniques to impute censored time values using a predictive posterior. We adapt Dirichlet-Laplace shrinkage priors to incorporate the group structure for SNP-level variable selection. In the simulation study, our method outperformed other competing methods regarding variable selection. The analysis of Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) data revealed several genes directly or indirectly related to AD, whereas a classical GWAS did not identify any significant SNPs.

사회가 발전함에 따라 이용자의 다양한 분석 요구에 대응하기 위해 개인 단위로 구성된 마이크로데이터 제공이 증가했다. 나아가 센서스, 행정자료와 같은 전수자료를 마이크로데이터 형태로 제공받아 연구하고자 하는 요구 역시 커지고 있다. 정책결정, 학술목적 등을 위한 마이크로데이터 분석은 가치 창출 측면에서 대단히 바람직하다. 하지만 자료 유용성이 확보된 마이크로데이터 제공은 개인정보가 노출될 가능성이라는 위험을 가질 수 밖에 없다. 이에, 자료의 유용성을 확보하면서 개인정보보호를 보장할 수 있는 여러 방법들이 고려되어 왔다. 이러한 방법 중 하나로 재현자료(synthetic data)를 생성해서 활용하는 방법이 연구되어 왔다. 본 논문은 재현자료 생성과 관련된 방법론 및 주의사항을 소개하여, 재현자료의 이해를 도모하고자 한다. 이를 위해 재현자료 작성에 필수적인 다중대체, 베이지안 예측 모형 및 베이지안 붓스트랩 등의 개념들을 먼저 설명하고, 완전 재현자료 및 부분 재현자료에 대해 살펴본다. 특히, 재현자료 작성을 심도 깊이 이해하기 위해 순차회귀 다중대체(sequential regression multivariate imputation)를 이용해 경시적(longitudinal) 자료를 재현자료로 작성하는 구체적 사례를 살펴본다.

시간적인 차이를 두고 획득한 이질적인 과거 전쟁 결과 데이터를 하나의 모형으로 구축하는 방법으로 베이지안 추론에 의한 전쟁시뮬레이션 모형을 구축하는 방법을 제안하였다. 과거의 전쟁 결과를 분석하여 미래에 있을 수 있는 전쟁을 예측하는 방법으로 선형회귀모형을 적용하는 방법을 고려할 수 있다. 그러나 역사적으로 시대가 서로 달라 전장 환경의 변화가 반영된 이질적인 두 유형의 자료들이라면 모형의 가정사항 위반으로 하나의 선형회귀모형으로 적합하는 것은 적절하지 않다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 앞선 시대에 있는 자료를 비정보적 사전분포로 가정하여 사후분포를 구하고 이를 다음 시대에 얻은 자료를 분석하기 위한 사전분포로 활용하여 최종 사후분포를 추론하는 베이지안 추론 방법을 제안하였다. 베이지안 추론 방법의 또 다른 장점은 마코프 체인 몬테 카를로 방법으로 샘플링한 결과를 이용하여 불확실성이 반영된 사후분포나 사후예측분포를 추론할 수 있다는 점이다. 이렇게 했을 때 고전적인 선형회귀모형으로 분석하는 것보다 다양한 정보를 활용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 향후 추가적으로 획득되는 자료도 모형에 반영하여 모형을 계속 업데이트시킬 수 있다는 장점이 있다.

The points of failure of a decomposition process are defined to be the union of the points of failure from two component point processes for software reliability systems. Because sampling from the likelihood function of the decomposition model is difficulty, Gibbs Sampler can be applied in a straightforward manner. A Markov Chain Monte Carlo method with data augmentation is developed to compute the features of the posterior distribution. For model determination, we explored the prequential conditional predictive ordinate criterion that selects the best model with the largest posterior likelihood among models using all possible subsets of the component intensity functions. A numerical example with a simulated data set is given.

This paper seeks to investigate major macroeconomic factors and bond yield interactions in Thai bond markets, with the goal of forecasting future bond yields. This study examines the best predictive yields for future bond yields at different maturities of 1-, 3-, 5-, 7-, and 10-years using time series data of economic indicators covering the period from 1998 to 2020. The empirical findings support the hypothesis that macroeconomic factors influence bond yield fluctuations. In terms of forecasting future bond yields, static predictions reveal that in most cases, the BVAR model offers the best predictivity of bond rates at various maturities. Furthermore, the BVAR model has the best performance in dynamic rolling-window, forecasting bond yields with various maturities for 2-, 4-, and 8-quarters. The findings of this study imply that the BVAR model forecasts future yields more accurately and consistently than other competitive models. Our research could help policymakers and investors predict bond yield changes, which could be important in macroeconomic policy development.

Background: Survival time of lymphoma patients can be estimated with the help of microarray technology. In this study, with the use of iterative Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) method, survival time of Mantle Cell Lymphoma patients (MCL) was estimated and in reference to the findings, patients were divided into two high-risk and low-risk groups. Materials and Methods: In this study, gene expression data of MCL patients were used in order to select a subset of genes for survival analysis with microarray data, using the iterative BMA method. To evaluate the performance of the method, patients were divided into high-risk and low-risk based on their scores. Performance prediction was investigated using the log-rank test. The bioconductor package "iterativeBMAsurv" was applied with R statistical software for classification and survival analysis. Results: In this study, 25 genes associated with survival for MCL patients were identified across 132 selected models. The maximum likelihood estimate coefficients of the selected genes and the posterior probabilities of the selected models were obtained from training data. Using this method, patients could be separated into high-risk and low-risk groups with high significance (p<0.001). Conclusions: The iterative BMA algorithm has high precision and ability for survival analysis. This method is capable of identifying a few predictive variables associated with survival, among many variables in a set of microarray data. Therefore, it can be used as a low-cost diagnostic tool in clinical research.

For the balanced variance component model, sometimes intraclass correlation coefficient is of interest. If there is little information about the parameter, then the reference prior(Berger and Bernardo, 1992) is widely used. Pettit nd Young(1990) considered a measrue of the effect of a single observation on a logarithmic Bayes factor. However, under such a reference prior, the Bayes factor depends on the ratio of unspecified constants. In order to discard this problem, influence diagnostic measures using the intrinsic Bayes factor(Berger and Pericchi, 1996) is presented. Finally, one simulated dataset is provided which illustrates the methodology with appropriate simulation based computational formulas. In order to overcome the difficult Bayesian computation, MCMC methods, such as Gibbs sampler(Gelfand and Smith, 1990) and Metropolis algorithm, are empolyed.

Purpose: The injection molding process, crucial for plastic shaping, encounters difficulties in sustaining product quality when replacing injection machines. Variations in machine types and outputs between different production lines or factories increase the risk of quality deterioration. In response, the study aims to develop a system that optimally adjusts conditions during the replacement of injection machines linked to molds. Methods: Utilizing a dataset of 12 injection process variables and 52 corresponding sensor variables, a predictive model is crafted using Decision Tree, Random Forest, and XGBoost. Model evaluation is conducted using an 80% training data and a 20% test data split. The dependent variable, classified into five characteristics based on temperature and pressure, guides the prediction model. Bayesian optimization, integrated into the selected model, determines optimal values for process variables during the replacement of injection machines. The iterative convergence of sensor prediction values to the optimum range is visually confirmed, aligning them with the target range. Experimental results validate the proposed approach. Results: Post-experiment analysis indicates the superiority of the XGBoost model across all five characteristics, achieving a combined high performance of 0.81 and a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 0.77. The study introduces a method for optimizing initial conditions in the injection process during machine replacement, utilizing Bayesian optimization. This streamlined approach reduces both time and costs, thereby enhancing process efficiency. Conclusion: This research contributes practical insights to the optimization literature, offering valuable guidance for industries seeking streamlined and cost-effective methods for machine replacement in injection molding.
