It is well known that using any additional information in the estimation of unknown parameters with new sample of observations diminishes the sampling units needed and minimizes the risk of new estimators. There are many rational reasons to assure that the existence of additional information in practice and there exists many practical cases in which additional information is available in the form of target value (initial value) about the unknown parameters. This article is described the problem of how the prior initial value about the unknown parameters can be utilized and combined with classical Bayes estimator to get a new combination of Bayes estimator and prior value to improve the properties of the new combination. In this article, two classes of Bayes-shrinkage and preliminary test Bayes-shrinkage estimators are proposed for the scale parameter of exponential distribution. The bias, risk and risk ratio expressions are derived and studied. The performance of the proposed classes of estimators is studied for different choices of constants engaged in the estimators. The comparisons, conclusions and recommendations are demonstrated.

We investigated body shrinkage, defined as change in standard length and body weight of juvenile chub mackerel Scomber japonicus after preservation in 70% ethyl alcohol for 1, 8, or 12 days. Standard length (SL) was decreased by 3.6% and body weight (BW) was reduced by 27.5% after 8 day of preservation. There were no significant decreases in SL and BW after 8 or 12 days preservation. Linear regression equations for estimation of original body size from the size after preservation in 70% ethyl alcohol for 12 days were expressed as: $SL_{original}=0.96SL_{preserved}+5.17$ and $BW_{original}=1.16BW_{preserved}+0.37$. These equations will be useful for improving accuracy the estimation accuracy for various size-related biological parameters in juvenile chub mackerel juvenile.

This paper proposes a method for producing smooth and positive estimates of the intensity function of an inhomogeneous Poisson process based on the shrinkage of wavelet coefficients of the observed counts. The information projection is used in conjunction with the level-dependent thresholds to yield smooth and positive estimates. This work is motivated by and demonstrated within the context of a problem involving gamma-ray burst data in astronomy. Simulation results are also presented in order to show the performance of the information projection estimators.

일반 콘크리트뿐만 아니라 고성능콘크리트 제조 시 고로슬래그(BFS)의 사용은 워커빌리티, 장기 강도 및 내구성 측면에서 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 슬래그 콘크리트는 일반 콘크리트에 비해 수축이 크며 특히 자기수축이 크게 발생하기 때문에 적절한 방법으로 제어하지 않으면 심각한 균열을 야기할 수 있다. 따라서 수축에 의한 균열 발생을 최소화하고 콘크리트 구조물의 사용 수명을 확보하기 위해서는 BFS를 함유한 콘크리트의 자기수축 거동에 대한 이해가 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 물-결합재(시멘트+BFS) 비(W/B)가 0.27${\~}$0.42이고 BFS 대체율이 각각 $0\%$, $30\%$, $50\%$인 각주형 콘크리트 시편을 제작하여 자기수축을 측정한 후, 실험결과를 바탕으로 자기수축 예측 모델의 재료 상수 값들을 결정하였다. 또한, 응력 발현에 기여하는 자기수축을 유효자기수축으로 정의하고, 다양한 W/B를 고려한 재령 28일에서의 유효자기수축 변형률 추정식을 제안하였다. 실험결과, W/B가 동일할 때 콘크리트의 자기수축은 BFS의 사용량에 따라 증가하였다. 또한 동일한 양의 BFS를 사용한 경우, W/B가 낮아짐에 따라 자기수축 증가율이 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 고로슬래그 콘크리트의 자기수축을 줄이기 위해서는 자기수축을 줄이는 수축저감제 등의 혼화 재료를 사용하거나 시공 현장에서의 충분한 습윤양생이 필요하다고 판단된다.

본 논문에서는 2.45GHz 대역 RTLS 환경에서 탐색범위 확장을 고려한 위치추정 알고리즘을 제안하고 평균 추정오차 성능을 분석하였다. 확장 가능한 탐색범위는 $300m{\times}300m$, 2차원 평면상의 정사각형으로, 가용리더의 배치 형태는 원형 배치와 사각형 배치 그리고 탐색범위 확장을 위한 축소된 사각형 배치를 고려하였다. 또한, RTLS의 위치추정 실험 조건으로 LOS 전파환경을 가정하였으며, 수신된 sub-blink 수에 따른 가용리더의 배치 형태별로 위치추정 성능을 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 위치추정 알고리즘을 적용하여 위치를 추정한 결과, 원형 리더 배치가 탐색범위 확장이 유리한 사각형 리더 배치에 비하여 우수한 위치추정 정확도를 보였다. 이에, 위치추정의 정확도가 우수한 원형배치와 확장이 유리한 사각형 배치의 장점을 절충하여 탐색범위 확장을 위한 축소 사각형 배치를 제안하였으며, 실험 결과, 제안한 위치추정 알고리즘이 탐색범위 확장을 고려한 축소된 사각형 리더 배치에서도 높은 위치추정 성능이 나타남을 확인하였다.

In the present paper, for a quantitative assessment of early-age cracking in an RC wall, an improved analytical model is proposed. First of all, a three-dimensional finite element model for the analysis of stresses due to hydration heat and differential drying shrinkage is introduced. A discrete steel element derived using the equivalent nodal force concept is used to simulate reinforcing steels, embedded in a concrete matrix. In advance, to quantitatively calculate the cracking potential, an analytical model that can estimate the post-cracking behavior in an RC tension member is proposed Subsequent comparisons. of analytical results with test results verify that the combined use of both the finite element model for the stress analysis as well as the analytical model for the estimation of the post-cracking behavior in an RC tension member make it possible to accurately predict the cracking ,behavior of RC walls.

One of the most important problems in the estimation of the parameter of the failure model, is the cost of experimental sampling units, which can be reduced by using any prior information available about ${\theta}$, and devising a two-stage pooling shrunken estimation procedure. We have proposed an estimator of the reliability function (R(t)) of the exponential model using two-stage time censored data when a prior value about the unknown parameter (${\theta}$) is available from the past. To compare the performance of the proposed estimator with the classical estimator, computer intensive calculations for bias, mean squared error, relative efficiency, expected sample size and percentage of the overall sample size saved expressions, were done for varying the constants involved in the proposed estimator (${\tilde{R}}$(t)).

In wireless communications, knowledge of the signal-to-noise ratio is required in diverse communication applications. In this paper, we derive the variance of the maximum likelihood estimator in the data-aided and non-data-aided schemes for determining the optimal shrinkage factor. The shrinkage factor is usually the constant that is multiplied by the unbiased estimate and it increases the bias slightly while considerably decreasing the variance so that the overall mean squared error decreases. The closed-form biased estimators for binary-phase-shift-keying and quadrature phase-shift-keying systems are then obtained. Simulation results show that the mean squared error of the proposed method is lower than that of the maximum likelihood method for low and moderate signal-to-noise ratio conditions.

Nonparametric Bayesian methods have seen rapid and sustained growth over the past 25 years. We present a gentle introduction to the methods, motivating the methods through the twin perspectives of consistency and false consistency. We then step through the various constructions of the Dirichlet process, outline a number of the basic properties of this process and move on to the mixture of Dirichlet processes model, including a quick discussion of the computational methods used to fit the model. We touch on the main philosophies for nonparametric Bayesian data analysis and then reanalyze a famous data set. The reanalysis illustrates the concept of admissibility through a novel perturbation of the problem and data, showing the benefit of shrinkage estimation and the much greater benefit of nonparametric Bayesian modelling. We conclude with a too-brief survey of fancier nonparametric Bayesian methods.
