Using the 1998-2004 Health and Retirement Study(HRS), this study explored the determinants of private long-term care insurance(LTCI) ownership and the first home care use. To account for the interaction between LTCI purchase and home care use, this study used two-period utility model as theoretical framework. Discrete time model was used as an empirical model to incorporate the time-dependent feature of LTCI ownership. And this study accounted for the endogeneity of LTCI ownership and home care use by employing full information maximum likelihood estimation. This study indicated insignificant effects of private LTCI ownership and Medicaid eligibility on the home care use. Also, the effects of income and assets on home care utilization were negligible. Those who have poor health condition and who do not have potential informal caregivers were more likely to use home care. For private LTCI ownership, income and assets have positive relationship with LTCI purchase, and poor health status and age were negatively related to LTCI purchase. The elderly living with children and those who have more siblings were less likely to have private LTCI, and those who lived with spouses with no children were more likely to buy private LTCI. Based on the findings, this study provides implications to design long-term care(LTC) policies in the U.S. and to develop LTC planning education programs.

통계학과를 졸업하는 학생들 중에는 50%이상이 통계학(기초)을 제대로 이해를 못하고 졸업하고 있다는 가설을 검증해본다면 그 결과는 무엇일까? 통계학을 조금 배워본 사람들은 물론이고 통계학과 졸업생들조차 통계학은 난해하기 짝이 없다고 평가를 한다면 이해를 돕는 교육이라기보다는 주입(강요)식 교육이기 때문은 아닌가? 여기서는 확률변수 X를 대문자로 쓰는 것에 유의하고, 소문자 x와 구분하여 사용함으로써 초보자들이 통계이론을 보다 쉽게 이해할 수 있도록 하자는 것이다.

Polymer collapse transition에 대한 연구가 많이 진행되어왔다. 허나 각각의 microstate에 대한 entropy나 free energy에 대한 계산을 하지는 못하였다. 최근 local nonequilibrium thermodynamics와 관련한 논문이 발표되었는데 이는 비평형 상태에서의 각각의 microstate에 대한 확률 분포를 결정하는 물리량을 발견 및 특성을 규명하여 이 중 특별한 상태가 지니는 "information" 이라는 양이 내부에너지와 엔트로피와의 상관관계가 있음을 보였다. 또한, 이러한 information theory를 이용한 Shannon entropy를 사용하여 entropy를 정의하고 free energy와 같은 물리량을 계산하였다. 따라서 이를 이용하여 information theory를 이용한 Shannon entropy와 이로 정의된 free energy를 이용하여 polymer collapse중 entropy 및 free energy를 계산하였다.

보현산 천문대 1.8m 망원경과 2K CCD를 이용하여 늙은 산개성단 NGC 2420에 대해 V ~ 22까지 VI측광 관측을 수행하였다. Chi^2 최소화를 이용한 정밀한 이론적인 등연령 곡선 맞추기 방법으로 성단의 기본 물리량을 구하고, 색-등급도(CMD)와 공간상에서의 별들의 위치를 이용하여 별들의 통계적인 구성원 확률을 결정하고자 한다. 한편 쌍성의 공간상의 분포를 조사하여 역학적 진화에 따른 쌍성의 분포특징을 살펴보고, 2차원 표면개수 밀도 분포로부터 성단의 형태를 조사하여 우리 은하면과의 상관관계에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

This paper investigates whether an inverted U relationship between pollution and economic development could be found in the Seoul metropolitan region using a panel data for the period of 1985~1999. We uses a model with a more flexible random coefficients specification which allows for a greater degree of regional heterogeneity. The emissions of sulfur dioxidetotal($SO_2$), suspended particulates(TSP), nitrogen dioxide($NO_2$), and carbon monoxide(CO) were selected as four major pollutants. We found that the emissions of these pollutants per capita except sulfur dioxidetotal exhibited inverted U shapes with per capita gross regional domestic product (GRDP). We also noted that the turning points for Seoul metropolitan region occured at a range of incomes, from $3,000 to $5,000 per capita.

The well-known standard normal distribution has been used within the limit of standard variable value of u=3.59. However, the probability values above the limit are not given in the literature. In this study, a probability computation program for standard normal distribution to u=5.99 with the proportional normal distribution a, pp.oximation suggested by Abramowitz and Stegun, Hastings is developed. The new standard normal distribution table developed by the program is presented and will be of help to estimate of probability values for testing and estimation of process mean value, lot acceptable probability, defective percentage of PPM unit of an out-of specification limit, process capability, test power of control charts, probability and statistics.

The error-trapping decoder is constructed for the (7, 3) Reed-Solomon code. The syndrome resister is constructed with the encoder and the substanial test logic circuits. The element of GF(8) is represented by the triple D-flip-floops. The hardware is constructed. And it is controlled by the micro computer(Apple II). The time for the encoding and the decoding were $350\musecs and 910u secs respectively. The experimental results show that the two symbol errors were corrected and 4-bit-binary-burst errors were also corrected.

45.deg. corss jet flow, at the mixing of two jet flows, was experimentally studied. For this study, only the statistical turbulent characteristics and high order moments will be analysed by on-line computer system (hot-wire anemometer system, dynamic analyser and computer system, plotting and printing system). Since mean velocity distributions, intensities of turbulence, Reynolds stresses, correlation coefficients, and other general results were already studied and presented. One dimensional probability density distributions of u', v', and w' were analysed comparing with Gaussian curve, which showed skew and flat tendency according to the Y and Z directions. For the analysis of the joint flow of turublent components, the joint probability density distributions were examined. The fagures were drawn so as to be read joint probabilities, joint probability densities, fluctuating velocities u', v', and w'. For further detailed examination of the variations of skewness and flatness phenomena, iso-joint probability density contours obtained from the profiles of the joint probability density distributions were studied. According to the displacement of positions from the center of the mixing flow and the directions, the flatness and skewness factors were increased.

In this paper, we proposed the MAC protocol and analyzed the performance for CATV/LAN network which was based upon HFC(hybrid optic coaxial) increased abruptly as alternative method of high speed network. Upstream channel which analyzed very deeply for CATV/LAN network have the preferential access property depending upon that position and unidirectional property. To solve this fairness problem, we propose the CSMA-CD/U/P protocol that transm it as $P_i$ probability although data packets is immediately transmitted when it was occurred. As the analytic result and simulation, we obtained $P_i$ value and its average delay time. Also, we get its variance value and queue length distribution. The mean delay time and queue length increase as the load and number of stations increase in the CATV/LAN network.
