Conjugate prior density families were motivated by considerations of tractability in implementing the Bayesian paradigm. But we consider problem that the conjugate prior p($\Theta$) cannot be used in restriction of the parameter $\Theta$. This article considers the nonconjugate prior problem of hierarchical Poisson model. We demonstrate the use of latent variables for sampling non-standard densities which arise in the context of the Bayesian analysis of non-conjugate by using a Gibbs sampler.

In this paper, the ratio of parameters in two independent Maxwell distributions is parameter of interest. We proposed test statistics, which converge to standard normal distribution, based on likelihood function. The exact distribution for testing the ratio is hard to obtain. We proposed the signed log-likelihood ratio statistic and the modified signed log-likelihood ratio statistic for testing the ratio. Through simulation, we show that the modified signed log-likelihood ratio statistic converges faster than signed log-likelihood ratio statistic to standard normal distribution. We compare two statistics in terms of type I error and power. We give an example using real data.

본 연구에서는 강우량이 여름에 집중되어있는 우리나라의 강우 특성을 잘 나타낼 수 있는 최적의 확률분포형을 선정하고 해석적 확률모델 (Analytical Probabilistic Model, APM)을 개발하여 유출량을 예측하고자 하였다. 국내 10개 지역인 부산, 춘천, 대구, 대전, 전주, 진주, 서울, 속초, 태백, 원주를 연구 지역으로 설정하였고, 30년 시 단위 강우자료를 지역별 interevent time definition(IETD)을 적용하여 강우 사상으로 그룹화하였다. APM 연구에 일반적으로 사용되는 일변수 지수 분포 이외의 이변수 지수, 감마, 이변수 로그정규 확률밀도함수 (Probability Density Function, PDF)를 강우사상의 특성인 강우량, 강우 지속시간, 무강우 시간의 히스토그램에 적용한 결과, 이 변수 로그정규분포가 우리나라의 강우 특성을 가장 잘 대표하였다. 로그정규분포를 이용하여 APM을 유도하고 유출량을 예측하였다. 예측한 유출량에 대한 빈도분석을 수행하여 Storm Water Management Model (SWMM)의 결과와 비교함으로써 유도한 APM의 적합성을 확인하였다. SWMM의 입력 매개변수 보정을 위해서는 서울 군자 지역에서 관측한 실제 강우량 및 유출량 자료를 사용하였다. 로그정규분포로 유도한 APM과 SWMM의 빈도분석 결과를 비교하였을 때 초과 확률과 재현주기 모두 매우 유사한 결과를 나타내었음을 확인하였다.

The composite lognormal-GPD models (LN-GPD) enjoys both merits from log-normality for the body of distribution and GPD for the thick tailedness of the observation. However, in the estimation perspective, LN-GPD model performs poorly due to numerical instability. Therefore, a two-stage procedure, that estimates threshold first then estimates other parameters later, is a natural method to consider. This paper considers five nonparametric threshold estimation methods widely used in extreme value theory and compares their performance in LN-GPD parameter estimation. A simulation study reveals that simultaneous maximum likelihood estimation performs good in threshold estimation, but very poor in tail index estimation. However, the nonparametric method performs good in tail index estimation, but introduced bias in threshold estimation. Our method is illustrated to the service time of an Israel bank call center and shows that the LN-GPD model fits better than LN or GPD model alone.

이 논문에서는 로그정규분포에 대한 베이지안 모형선택방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로 , 모수에 대한 사전정보가 비정보적(noninformative)인 경우, 베이즈 요인(Bayes factor)은 결정할 수 없는 상수를 포함하는 것이 일반적이다. 이 경우, 베이즈 요인을 계산하기 위해 최근 활발히 연구중인 고유 베이즈 요인(Intrinsic Bayes factor)방법을 이용한다. 실제의 자료를 통해 로그정규분포의 적합도 검정에 대한 부분적 베이즈 요인을 계산한다.

This study suggests a method for deriving earthquake response based on log-normal distribution in order to obtain realistic and reliable probability and statistical seismic response of structures. The development of three earthquake suites were presented, with a brief description of 2%, 10%, and 50% in 50 years probability of exceedance according the USGS Los Angeles probabilistic seismic hazard maps. In order to analyze the basic dynamic behavior, a Single-Degree-of-Freedom (SDOF) structure was selected and the seismic response spectrum representing the response of each natural period was plotted. Overall, the mean response values presented through the log-normal distribution is lower than the standard normal distribution. Thus, it is considered that the former method can be provided as the effective cost on performance-based seismic design more than the latter one.

Many researches have been carried out on carbonation, a representative deterioration in underground structure. The carbonation of RC (Reinforced Concrete) structure can cause steel corrosion through pH drop in concrete pore water. However extension of service life in RC structures can be obtained through simple surface protection. Unlike the conventional deterministic maintenance technique, probabilistic technique can consider a variation of service life but it deals with only normal distributions. In the work, life time-probability distributions considering not only normal but also log distributions are induced, and repair cost estimation technique is proposed based on the induced model. The proposed technique can evaluate the repair cost through probabilistic manner regardless of normal or log distribution from initial service life and extended service life with repair. When the extended service life through repair has log distribution, repair cost is effectively reduced. The more reasonable maintenance strategy can be set up though actual determination of life-probability distribution based on long term tests and field investigations.

We propose the Bayesian testing for the equality of two log-normal population means. Specifically we use the intrinsic Bayes factors suggested by Berger and Perichi (1996, 1998) based on the noninformative priors for the parameters. In order to investigate the usefulness of the proposed Bayesian testing procedures, we compare it with classical tests via both real data analysis and simulation.

We present methods for studying the log-density ratio that enables the selection of the predictors and the form to be included in the logistic regression model. Under bivariate normal distributional assumptions, we investigate the form of the log-density ratio as a function of two predictors. If two covariance matrices are equal, then the crossproduct and quadratic terms are not needed. If the variables are uncorrelated, we do not need the crossproduct terms, but we still need the linear and quadratic terms. We also explore other conditions in which the crossproduct and quadratic terms are not needed in the logistic regression model.

The composite lognormal-generalized Pareto distribution (LN-GPD) is a mixture of right-truncated lognormal and GPD for a given threshold value. Scollnik (Scandinavian Actuarial Journal, 2007, 20-33, 2007) shows that the composite LN-GPD is adequate to describe body distribution and heavy-tailedness. This paper considers time-varying modeling of the LN-GPD based on local polynomial maximum likelihood estimation. Time-varying model provides significant detailed information of time dependent data, hence it can be applied to disciplines such as service engineering for staffing and resources management. Our work also extends to Beirlant and Goegebeur (Journal of Multivariate Analysis, 89, 97-118, 2004) in the sense of losing no data by including truncated lognormal distribution. Our proposed method is shown to perform adequately in simulation. Real data application to the service time of the Israel bank call center shows interesting findings on the staffing policy.
