  • The purpose of this study was to analyze marriage cost planning and marriage cost for the children. Data were obtained from 306 households with at least one child married within past 5 years in Seoul. There were significant differences in marriage cost planning. The average marriage cost was 46,410,000won. Earned income finance asset child's sex child's marriage type the length of planning whether debts were incurred or not and whether the property was sold for child's marriage were significantly associated with the marriage cost. Finally socio-economic variable and marriage cost planning variables played more imprtant role in determining child's marriage cost than child related variables.

  • In this paper, VTQM(Variable Threshold Quantization Method) is proposed, which enhances PSNR by composing the advantages of round-off and truncation quantization methods. From vast experiments, PSNR's of JPEG images with the method are compared with that of standard JPEG methods. At the boundary which affects the compression ratio, VTQM quantizes with a new threshold to reduce the length of compressed data; otherwise, VTQM employs the round-off quantization method to preserve the original image information. As a result, VTQM reduces bit rate while preserving the image quanity. The experimental results show that VTQM enhances PSNR by 0.2-0.3dB., 0.4-0.5dB, with the same bit rate than those of the traditional truncation and round-off quantization methods, respectively.

  • This study deals with the accident models of arterial link sections by driving type. The objectives is to develop models by driving type using the accident data of 24 arterial links in Cheong-ju. In pursuing the above, this study gives particular emphasis to modeling such the accidents as the straight, lane change and others. The main results analyzed are as follows. First, the number of accidents is analyzed to account for about 59% in straight, 31% in lane change and 10% in others. Second, the number of left-turn lane as common variables, and the ADT, number of pedestrian crossings, connecting roads and link length as specific variables are selected in developing models(number of accident and EPDO). Third, 8 models which are all statistically significant are developed. Finally, RMSE of the driving type models was analyzed to be better than that of dummy variable.

  • Social network analysis (SNA) techniques have recently been developed to monitor and detect abnormal behaviors in social networks. As a useful tool for process monitoring, control charts are also useful for network monitoring. In this paper, the degree and closeness centrality measures, in which each has global and local perspectives, respectively, are applied to an exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) chart and a multinomial cumulative sum (CUSUM) chart for monitoring undirected weighted networks. In general, EWMA charts monitor only one variable in a single chart, whereas multinomial CUSUM charts can monitor a categorical variable, in which several variables are transformed through classification rules, in a single chart. To monitor both degree centrality and closeness centrality simultaneously, we categorize them based on the average of each measure and then apply to the multinomial CUSUM chart. In this case, the global and local attributes of the network can be monitored simultaneously with a single chart. We also evaluate the performance of the proposed procedure through a simulation study.

  • This study was conducted to improve the quality of National Health Policy by analysing the effects of sociodemographic characteristics, Medical institutions characteristics and characteristics of Admission-Discharge on the length of stay in hospital for schizophrenic patients from the data of Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service. The subjects were 4,692 patients who were diagnosed with schizophrenia as main diagnosis from the data records of HIRA-NIS 2016. Regression analysis was performed to evaluate the effect on the length of stay. Sociodemographic characteristics, hospital characteristics and characteristics of Admission-Discharge were used as explanatory variables and length of stay in hospital was used as a dependent variable. The result of study showed that female, age, medical aid, the kind of hospital, gangweon-do and with mental disease were found to be the factors that affect the length of stay. The significance of this study is to use the public data for evaluating factors that affect the length of stay in hospital for schizophrenic patients. But this study did not consider disease severity, so further study is needed for evaluation of the effects of factors on the length of stay according to disease severity.

  • Many image and video compression algorithms work by splitting the image into blocks and producing variable-length code bits for each block data. If variable-length code data are transmitted consecutively over error-prone channel without any error protection technique, the receiving decoder cannot decode the stream properly. So the standard image and video compression algorithms insert some redundant information into the stream to provide some protection against channel errors. One of redundancies is resynchronization marker, which enables the decoder to restart the decoding process from a known state in the event of transmission errors, but its usage should be restricted not to consume bandwidth too much. The Error Resilient Entropy Code(EREC) is well blown method which can regain synchronization without any redundant information. It can work with the overall prefix codes, which many image compression methods use. This paper proposes EREREC method to improve FEREC(Fast Error-Resilient Entropy Coding). It first calculates initial searching position according to bit lengths of consecutive blocks. Second, initial offset is decided using statistical distribution of long and short blocks, and initial offset can be adjusted to insure all offset sequence values can be used. The proposed EREREC algorithm can speed up the construction of FEREC slots, and can improve the compressed image quality in the event of transmission errors. The simulation result shows that the quality of transmitted image is enhanced about $0.3{\sim}3.5dB$ compared with the existing FEREC when random channel error happens.

  • In this paper, we propose a new fuzzy model identification method that can yield a successful fuzzy rule base for fundamental approximations. The method in this paper uses a set of input-output data and is based on a hybrid messy genetic algorithm (mGA) with a fine-tuning scheme. The mGA processes variable-length strings, while standard GAs work with a fixed-length coding scheme. For successfully identifying a complex nonlinear system, we first use the mGA, which coarsely optimizes the structure and the parameters of the fuzzy inference system, and then the gradient descent method which tine tunes the identified fuzzy model. In order to demonstrate the superiority and efficiency of the proposed scheme, we finally show its application to a nonlinear approximation.

  • This study was conducted in North Sulawesi, Indonesia to identify the factors affecting reproductive efficiency and to determine the contribution of each factor in reproductive efficiency of Indonesian native cows. Records of reproductive efficiency, body size (hip height, body weight, body length, heart girth) as well as age on one hundred and sixty seven Indonesian native cows (seventy six cows of the Bali breed and ninety one cows of the synthetic breed from unknown proportion of th Madura, the Sumba and the Ongole breeds) of 58 farmers were available in this research. The data were analyzed by covariance analysis using SAS package including reproductive efficiency as a dependent variable and breed, body size (hip height, body weight, body length, heart girth) and age of cows as independent variables. The contribution of each independent factor to dependent variable was estimated as the percentage of the sum of square in the corrected total sum of squares. The results showed that body weight and body size of cows would be considered as th most important factors affecting reproductive efficiency of Indonesian native cows. Therefore, the reproductive efficiency could be increased by 1) using cows that reached a target weight of at least 250 kg, 2) using cows with relatively well developed height at hip of at least 117 cm, heart girth of at least 150 cm, and body length of at least 125 cm, 3) keeping breeding cows that reach a target age of 24 months old with the maximum interval between postpartum and next breeding season of 90 days for each year, and 4) using good nutritional feeding to reach the optimum weight and body condition.

  • Suffix trees are widely used in similar sequence matching for DNA. They have several problems such as time consuming, large space usages of disks and memories and data skew, since DNA sequences are very large and do not fit in the main memory. Thus, in the paper, we present a space efficient indexing method called SENoM, allowing us to build trees without merging phases for the partitioned sub trees. The proposed method is constructed in two phases. In the first phase, we partition the suffixes of the input string based on a common variable-length prefix till the number of suffixes is smaller than a threshold. In the second phase, we construct a sub tree based on the disk using the suffix sets, and then write it to the disk. The proposed method, SENoM eliminates complex merging phases. We show experimentally that proposed method is effective as bellows. SENoM reduces the disk usage less than 35% and reduces the memory usage less than 20% compared with TRELLIS algorithm. SENoM is available to query efficiently using the prefix tree even when the length of query sequence is large.
