  • Jang(2007a, b) described the overall explanation about R statistical package and application on probability and statistics education. With referring the contents of the 7th national mathematics curriculum, we suggest the plan for applications of R Commander on probability and statistics education in middle and high school mathematics.

  • We introduce a surplus process which follows a diffusion process with positive drift and is subject to two types of claim. We assume that type I claim occurs more frequently, however, its size is stochastically smaller than type II claim. We obtain the ruin probability that the level of the surplus becomes negative, and then, decompose the ruin probability into three parts, two ruin probabilities caused by each type of claim and the probability that the level of the surplus becomes negative naturally due to the diffusion process. Finally, we illustrate a numerical example, when the sizes of both types of claim are exponentially distributed, to compare the impacts of two types of claim on the ruin probability of the surplus along with that of the diffusion process.

  • This study aims at improving teaching and learning abilities on the courses of probability/statistics in the fields of the S/W and H/W. In order to do this, this paper firstly conducts a survey which measures the perception of the surveyees' necessity of the related courses, and includes the contents that the related courses should cover. Secondly, this paper analyzes the educational effect on the achievement by studying Pattern Recognition, a major course of S/W and H/W, with combining probability/statistics or data analysis. Lastly, this paper suggests the promising pedagogical method for educating probability/statistics by using a survey and the case studies. In this way, this paper shows the necessity of probability/statistics for acquiring a new technology and the flexible approach of various subjects.

  • The purpose of this study is to improve the learning ability of probability/statistics for H/W majors. Firstly, we developed a teaching method coupling probability/statistics with programming and multimedia signal processing courses that are opened in the H/W major curriculum. By use of its teaching-learning, we tried to verify the effectiveness on the improvement of learner's academic achievement and then analyze its educational efficiency through the regression analysis. Secondly, by analyzing the surveys and the statistical results of the education cases, we proposed a management plan on efficient teaching-learning in order to cultivate the learning ability of probability/statistics at a future time. Lastly, we concluded that probability/statistics is a required course of learners so as to contribute for the advanced technical development and the enhanced competitiveness in the field of the H/W.

  • In this paper, we develop noninformative priors for two parameter Pareto distribution. Specially, we derive Jereys' prior, probability matching prior and reference prior for the parameter of interest. In our case, the probability matching prior is only a first order matching prior and there does not exist a second order matching prior. Some simulation reveals that the matching prior performs better to achieve the coverage probability. A real example is also considered.

  • The simulation is used to estimate an overflow probability in a stable parallel network with coupled inputs. Since the general simulation needs extremely many trials to obtain such a small probability, the fast simulation is proposed to reduce trials instead. By using the Cramer’s theorem, we first obtain an optimally changed measure under which the variance of the estimator is minimized. Then, we use it to derive an importance sampling estimator of the overflow probability which enables us to perform the fast simulation.

  • We consider a compound Poisson risk model in which the premium rate changes when the surplus exceeds a threshold. The explicit form of the ruin probability for the risk model is obtained by deriving and using the overflow probability of the workload process in the corresponding M/G/1 queueing model.
