무한차원 상공간에서의 디리클레 형식과 이에 관계된 확산과정에 대한 일반 이론을 소개하고, 이 이론을 물리학의 통계역학 모델에 적용하였다. 구체적으로, 고전 비유계 스핀계에 대한 통계역학적인 모델, 연속체 공간에서 상호 작용하는 무한 입자계에 대한 통계역학적인 모델에 응용하였다. 아울러서 확률 미분 방정식과 같은 디리클레 형식에 관련된 연구분야에 대해서도 간단히 알아보았다.

Meta-analysis refers to quantitative methods for combining results from independent studies in order to draw overall conclusions. Hierarchical models including selection models are introduced and shown to be useful in such Bayesian meta-analysis. Semiparametric hierarchical models are proposed using the Dirichlet process prior. These rich class of models combine the information of independent studies, allowing investigation of variability both between and within studies, and weight function. Here we investigate sensitivity of results to unobserved studies by considering a hierachical selection model with including unknown weight function and use Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to develop inference for the parameters of interest. Using Bayesian method, this model is used on a meta-analysis of twelve studies comparing the effectiveness of two different types of flouride, in preventing cavities. Clinical informative prior is assumed. Summaries and plots of model parameters are analyzed to address questions of interest.
