This paper consider the problem of direction of arrival(DOA) estimation in the presence of multipath propagation. The sensor elements are assumed to be linear and uniformly spaced. Numerous authors have advocated the use of a beamforming preprocessor to facilitate application of high resolution direction finding algorithms The benefits cited include reduced computation, improved performance in environments that include spatially colored noise, and enhanced resolution. Performance benefits typically have been demonstrated via specific example. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis of a beamspace version of the MUSIC algorithm applicable to two closely spaced emitters in diverse scenarios. Specifically, the analysis is applicable to uncorrelated far field emitters of any relative power level, confined to a known plane, and observed by an arbitrary array of directional antenna. In this paper, we researched about optimize beam forming to smart antenna system. The covariance matrix obtained using fourth order cumulant function. Simulations illustrate the performance of the techniques.

Based on the study of soil water dynamics, this study is to suggest an advanced stochastic soil water model for future study for drought application. One distinguishable remark of this study is the derivation of soil water dynamic controling equation for 3-stage loss functions in order to understand the temporal behaviour of soil water with reaction to the precipitation. In terms of modeling, a model with rather simpler structure can be applied to regenerate the key characteristics of soil water behavior, and especially the probabilistic solution of the derived soil water dynamic equation can be helpful to provide better and clearer understanding of soil water behavior. Moreover, this study will be the future cornerstone of applying to more realistic phenomenon such as drought management.

본 연구에서는 비선형적인 메커니즘을 갖는 수문현상의 불확실성을 해석하고자 하는 목적으로 새로운 개념의 지배방정식이 유도된다. 제안된 모형의 불확실성은 토양 특성치의 공간적 변동성에 기인하고 있는 것으로 가정하여, 유도된 방정식은 Fokker-Planckl 방정식의 형태를 가지고 있다. 실제 유역단위에서 토양 내 수분 흐름의 연직방향 흐름을 모의하기 위해 미소단위에서 유도된 Richards 방정식은 토양의 공간적 변동성으로 말미암아 불확실한 매개변수를 갖는 비선형 추계학적 편미분방정식의 형태를 갖게 된다. 이는 먼지 수직 방향적분을 통하여 단순화된 비선형 추계학적 상미분방정식으로 전환되고, 이렇게 전환된 비선형 추계학적 상미분방정식은 다시 추계학적 Liouville 방정식을 이용하여 선형 추계학적 편미분방정식으로 전환되어진다. 최종적으로 cumulant 급수방법을 이용하여 상기 방정식을 선형 결정론적 편미분방정식으로 전환시킴으로써, 강우 시 토양 내 수분 침투현상을 모형화할 경우 유역단위에서 토양의 공간적 변동성을 설명할 수 있는 지배방정식을 유도할 수 있다.

This paper discusses cubic equations in general saddlepoint approximations. Exact roots are found for various cases by trigonometric identities, the root which is appropriate for the general saddlepoint approximations is selected and discussed, and the defective cases in which the general saddlepoint approximations cannot be used are found.

In this study a dynamic modeling scheme is presented to derive the probabilistic structure of soil water and plant water stress when subject to stochastic precipitation conditions. The newly developed model has the form of the Fokker-Planck equation, and its applicability as a model for the probabilistic evolution of the soil water and plant water stress is investigated under climate change scenarios. This model is based on the cumulant expansion theory, and has the advantage of providing the probabilistic solution in the form of probability distribution function (PDF), from which one can obtain the ensemble average behavior of the dynamics. The simulation result of soil water confirms that the proposed soil water model can properly reproduce the results obtained from observations, and it also proves that the soil water behaves with consistent cycle based on the precipitation pattern. The plant water stress simulation, also, shows two different PDF patterns according to the precipitation. Moreover, with all the simulation results with climate change scenarios, it can be concluded that the future soil water and plant water stress dynamics will differently behave with different climate change scenarios.

In this paper, a recursive estimation algorithm for FIR systems is proposed using the 3rd and 4th order cumulants. To obtain the Overdetermined Recursive Instrumental Variable(ORIV) method type algorithm, we transform the 3'th and 4'th order cumulant relationship to a certain matrix form which is consist of only output data. From the matrix form, we induce the proposed algorithm procedure following the ORIV method. The proposed algorithm provides improved estimation accuracy with smaller data and can be applied to a time varying system as well. In addition, it reduces the estimation error due to the additive Gaussian noise compared to conventional 2'rd order based algorithms since it only uses higher than 2'rd order cumulant. Simulation results are presented to compare the performance with other HOS-based algorithms.

In a conventional ICA(Independent Component Analysis) based face recognition method, PCA(Principal Component Analysis) first is used for feature extraction, ICA learning method then is applied for feature enhancement in the reduced dimension. It is not considered that a necessary component can be located in the discarded feature space. In the new ICA(NICA), learning extracts features using the magnitude of kurtosis (4-th order central moment or cumulant). But, the pure ICA method can not discard noise effectively. The synergy effect of PCA and ICA can be achieved if PCA is used for noise reduction filter. Namely, PCA does whitening and noise filtering. ICA performs feature extraction. Experiment results show the effectiveness of the new ICA method compared to the conventional ICA approach.

This paper describes a newly developed method of production simulation by using the Mixture of Cumulant Approximation (MOCA). In this method, the load is modelled as random variable (r.v.) which can be interpreted in terms of partitioning the load into various categories. We can consider the load shape of multi-modal characteristics. The number of load category and demarcation points of each load category are calculated automatically by using interpolation and least square method. Each generating unit of a supply system is modelled as r.v. of unit outage capacity according to the number of unit outage subset. Since the computation burden of each subset's moments increases exponentially as units are convolved to the system, we further derive the specific recursive formulae. In simulating the energy limited units, hydro unit simulation is performed using Energy Invariance Property and the simulation of pumped storage unit is modelled as compulsory and economic operations. The proposed MOCA method is applide to the test systems and the results are compared with those of cumulant and Booth Baleriaux method. It is verified that the MOCA method is considerably reliable and stable both pathological and well behaved system.

In this paper we studied the saddlepoint approximations to the distribution of quadratic forms in normal variables. We derived the approximations as a special case of Na & Kim (2005). Also applications to a statistic which concerns intraclass correlation coefficient are presented. Simulations show the accuracy and availability of the suggested approximations.

일반화 감마분포(generalized gamma distribution)에서 지표모수(index parameter)에 대한 추론은 생존시간(lifetime)과 관련한 모형의 선택문제에서 매우 중요하다. 이에 대한 정확한(exact) 추론법은 알려져 있지 않다. 본 연구에서는 이에 대한 점근적(asymptotic) 검정법으로 소표본에서도 우도비 검정에 비해 효율이 뛰어난 Bartlett 검정을 제안하고, 이의 요율적 수행을 위한 대체 모형으로 부터의 누율계산(cumulant computation) 법을 제시하였다. 또한 실제자료에 대해 본 논문에서 제시한 누율계산과정을 이용하여 Bartlett 검정을 실시한 결과 기존의 우도비 검정과는 상당히 큰 차이가 남을 확인하였다. 따라서 모형의 선택 등의 문제에서 제안된 방법은 소표본의 경우에 더욱 효율적이라 할 수 있다.
