The hierarchically penalized support vector machine (H-SVM) has been developed to perform simultaneous classification and input variable selection when input variables are naturally grouped or generated by factors. However, the H-SVM may suffer from estimation inefficiency because it applies the same amount of shrinkage to each variable without assessing its relative importance. In addition, when analyzing imbalanced data with uneven class sizes, the classification accuracy of the H-SVM may drop significantly in predicting minority class because its classifiers are undesirably biased toward the majority class. To remedy such problems, we propose the weighted adaptive H-SVM (WAH-SVM) method, which uses a adaptive tuning parameters to improve the performance of variable selection and the weights to differentiate the misclassification of data points between classes. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the competitive performance of the proposed WAH-SVM over existing SVM methods.

This study investigated the relationship between preschool children's social competence and perceived social support. The subjects were 85 children enrolled in 10 kindergartens and nurseries located in Seoul. Social support was assessed by children themselves with a social support dialogue Cask, "My Family and Friends," developed by Reid, Lamdegman, and Jaccard (1989). This task consists of 12 dialogues based on Vygotskian principles. Social competency was assessed by teachers with a slightly modified version of Song's Iowa Social Competency Scale (ISCS). The data were analyzed by frequencies percentiles, mean, one-way ANOVAs, and Pearson's correlations. Results showed that (1) Children perceived parents to be the best multi-purpose social providers: mothers for emotional support and fathers for instrumental support. (2) Children with unemployed mothers perceived higher maternal emotional, informational, and instrumental support than children with employed mothers. (3) Middle-class children perceived higher friendship support than upper-or lower-class children.

Embedded industry has emerged as one of the important industry for u-IT based application service. Technology development related to embedded hardware and software provides the base for the development of U-IT convergence industry. This study intends to suggest a research model to investigate the influence of industry, organization, technology factors on technology performance in the embedded companies. This study adopted research variables such as global network, local network, industry intensity, and technology capability as independent variables, with technology performance as a dependent variable from the existing literatures. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of industrial and organizational factors on technology performance of embedded companies SCM systems, including the moderating effect of government support. 94 companies data were collected by survey. The result of this empirical study is summarized as follows. First, local network and technology capability are the important determinants to influence technology performance of embedded companies in direct effect model. Second, global network and industry intensity has more positive influence on technology performance of embedded companies through a moderating variable of government support.

This study aim to analyze the effect of the technology support program satisfaction on below ICT Small and Medium-sized Enterprises(below SMEs)'s technological performance. For the empirical analysis, we used the data collected from ICT SMEs technology support program conducted by ETRI - a government funded research institute. Among 153 beneficiaries, 141 companies participated in the survey and we used 102 of them for our analysis. Then, we used the mediation regression analysis. In our research model, we set the program satisfaction as a independent variable, the amount of technology support as a mediator variable and the technological performance as a dependent variable. Results show that program satisfaction has positive and significant impact on both amount of technology support and technological performance and amount of technology support has complete mediation effect on product innovation while has partial mediation effect on technological innovation. Our findings imply that more ICT SMEs technology support programs that satisfying the beneficiaries should be developed until the rest of ICT SMEs could become the hidden champions.
