  • In order to evaluate the difference of testing results in the standards on the compressive strength of various countries, we have compared the testing results of the compressive and flexural strength, one of the most important properties of cement, obtained on the various standards(KS, JIS, BS, ASTM) and the statistical method was used to evaluate the results.

  • We use statistical tests which are useful for two-sample problem for detecting edges in gray-level images. An edge is detected by examining changes in gray-level value between adjacent pixel neighborhoods. Some experimental results show that nonparametric detectors such as Mann-Whitney test median test and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test perform effectively in both noisy and noise-free images while parametric T test is sensitive to noise.

Why is 90% Confidence Interval Used When Confidence Interval Approach is Used for Testing Equivalence? (동등성 시험을 신뢰구간을 사용하여 검정하는 경우 왜 신뢰도 90%인 신뢰구간을 사용하는가?)

  • It is a convention to use 5% significance level when a statistical test is employed for clinical data. But when a confidence interval is used for testing equivalence, 90% confidence interval has often been used. When $1-{\alpha}$ confidence interval is used for hypothesis testing, its significance level is often ${\alpha}$. So it makes a confusion that the significance level is 10% if 90% confidence interval is employed for testing equivalence. In this paper I will clarify this issue by reviewing relevant papers and conducting simulation studies. I hope that it will be beneficial to statisticians in pharmaceutical companies, CROs, university hospitals.

  • We prepose fuzzy statistical test of fuzzy hypotheses membership function with fuzzy number data. Finding the maximum grade of the meeting point for fuzzy hypotheses membership function and membership function of confidence interval. By the maximum grade, we obtain the results to acceptance or reject for the test of fuzzy hypotheses.

  • The problerm of testing for a constant mean is considered. A Kolmogorov-Smirnov type test using the sample Fourier coefficients is suggested and its asymptotic distribution is derived. A simulation study shows that the proposed test is more powerful than the cusum type test when there is more than one change-point or there is a cyclic change.

  • A test based on score statistic is derived for detecting homoscedasticity of errors in unbalanced random effects linear model. A small simulation study is performed to investigate the finite sample behaviour of the test statistic which is known to have an asymptotic chi-square distribution under the null hypothesis.

  • Problem of testing linearity among general class of first order nonlinear time series models is discussed. The null hypotheses of linearity is identified via conditional expectations. A consistent test is then suggested and relevant limiting results are derived. It is worth indicating that any specific alternatives are not specified.

  • Given the specific mean shift outlier model, several standard approaches to obtaining test statistic for outliers are discussed. Each of these is developed in detail for the nonlinear regression model, and each leads to an equivalent distribution. The geometric interpretations of the statistics and accuracy of linear approximation are also presented.

  • We study on selecting the kernel weighting function in smoothing moment conditions for dependent processes. For hypothesis testing in Generalized Method of Moments or Generalized Empirical Likelihood context, we find that smoothing moment conditions by Bartlett kernel delivers smallest size distortions based on empirical Edgeworth expansions of the long-run variance estimator.

  • This paper investigates the issue of performance testing on web browsing environments. Among the typical non-functional characteristics, index of link validity will be deeply explored. A framework to certify link correctness in web site is proposed. All possible navigation paths are first formulated to represent a usage model with the Markov chain property, which is then used to generate test script file statistically. With collecting any existing failure information followed by tracing these testing browsed paths, certification analysis may be performed by applying Markov chain theory. The certification result will yield some significant information such as: test coverage, reliability measure, confidence interval, etc. The proposed mechanism may provide not only completed but also systemic methodologies to find any linking errors and other web technologies errors. Besides, an actual practice of the proposed approach to a web-based system will be demonstrated quantitatively through a certification tool.
