A new era of research has focused on examining the growth of change in drinking problems among the elderly. Thus, the purpose of the present study was two fold: (1) to investigate trajectories of drinking problems(CAGE) among the Korean elderly(age$${\geq_-}65$$); and (2) to identify the predicting factors for the intercept and the slope of alcohol problems using multi-level growth curve model. Data come from three waves(1st wave(2006)~3rd wave(2008) of the Korea Welfare Panel(KWP) study. The results indicated that the levels of drinking problems decreased over time and that age, gender, marital status, religion, poverty, self-rated health, and social relationship satisfaction were associated with the baseline CAGE. Further analysis showed that social relationship satisfaction affected the declining slope of drinking problems over time. Specifically, among those who satisfied social relationship, there was a sharp decline of CAGE over time. Overall findings highlight the importance of developing and implementing effective alcohol prevention programs for the elderly in the community settings to mitigate the harmful effects of various psycho-social stressors. Especially, programs to maintain and form healthy social support network are suggested as critical interventions for prevention as well as recovery of alcohol problems in late life.

For the growth curve model with arbitrary covariance structure, known as unstructured covariance matrix, the problems of detecting outliers are discussed in this paper. In order to detect outliers in the growth curve model, the test statistics using U-distribution is established. After detecting outliers in growth curve model, we test homo and/or hetero-geneous covariance matrices using PSR Quasi-Bayes Criterion. For illustration, one numerical example is discussed, which compares between before and after outlier deleting.

The problem considered here is to find the optimal discriminant analysis method in growth curve model. It has been studied how to find correct prior probability for the effective classification in discriminant analysis. We use the balanced condition to calculate prior probability. From the informative simulation study, new classification rule for the growth curve model is suggested. The suggested classification rule has better classification result than the other previously suggested method in terms of error rate criterion.

기후변화에 의한 미래 수문량 전망에 대한 연구는 전지구 모델 결과를 바탕으로 이루어진다. 현재 전지구 모델의 모의 결과 생산된 강우 자료는 기상청에서 제공되며, 제공된 자료는 기상청 관측 지점에 국한되어 있다. 어떤 유역의 확률홍수량 전망은 유역내 강우 지점의 확률강우량을 강우-유출 모형인 HEC-1에 입력하여 추정할 수 있다. 한강 유역과 같은 대유역의 확률홍수량을 구하기 위해서는 유역내 기상청 관측 지점만으로는 지점수가 부족하기 때문에 국토해양부나 수자원공사 관할의 지점 자료를 활용한다. 하지만 이러한 대유역의 미래 확률홍수량을 전망하고자 하는 경우에 제공되는 전지구 모델 결과가 기상청 지점에 국한되어 있어 다른 지점의 확률강우량을 산정하는 데 어려움이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 보완하기 위해 지역빈도해석을 이용하여 미래 전망 자료가 없는 지점들의 확률강우량을 추정하였다. 지역빈도해석을 수행하기 위해서는 관측 자료가 있는 유역내 지점들의 특성치(site characteristics)를 바탕으로 지역을 구분하고, Hosking and Wallis(1997)가 제안한 이질성 척도(heterogeneity measure)를 근거로 구분된 지역의 수문학적 동질성 여부를 검토하며, 각 지역에 대한 성장곡선(growth curve)를 추정한다. 지역별로 추정된 성장곡선에 지점의 연최대값 평균을 곱하면 그 지점의 확률강우량을 추정할 수 있다. 따라서 미래 기간의 지역별 성장곡선과 지점의 연최대값 평균을 전망할 수 있으면, 미래 기간의 지점별 확률강우량을 산정할 수 있고, 이를 바탕으로 확률홍수량도 전망할 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 전지구 모델에서 모의된 강우 자료를 바탕으로 미래 기간의 성장곡선을 추정하고, 과거 대비 미래 기간의 지속기간별 연최대값 평균의 비율을 산정하여 모의 자료가 없는 지점에 적용함으로써 미래 기간의 연최대값 평균을 산정하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 미래 기간의 확률강우량을 산정하도록 하였다. 이 기법의 신뢰도를 검증하기 위해 관측 자료를 두 기간으로 구분하여, 이 기법을 적용하여 추정한 확률강우량과 관측 자료로부터 산정한 확률강우량을 비교하였다.

재료의 피로 파괴과정은 균열의 발생과 전파 및 성장의 과정을 거쳐 마침내 결정적 균열의 크기가 일정한도를 넘어서면 재료의 파괴가 일어난다. 이 때까지의 시간, 즉 피로 수명이 역정규분포를 따를 때 재료의 수명과 스트레스 수준과 관계를 나타 내는 S-N곡선에 대한 대수선형모형(log-linear model)을 제시하고, 이 모형하에서 피로수명시험에 대한 통계적 최적시험설계방법을 찾는다. 통계적 최적여부에 대한 판단기준으로 설계 스트레스 수준하의 특정 시점에서의 신뢰도에 대한 최우추정량의 점근분산을 최소화하는 방법을 사용하였다.

It is suggested investigating method about the existing state of demand in this study. The total demand of 357 water amenity zones in 2014 is estimated based on the growth curve models. The effects of population density and distances between water amenity zones and metropolises populated over 1 million are investigated on each river system. The suitability like RMSE and MAPE of logistic and gompertz models are considered to select more suitable model for each water amenity zone. Demand for water amenity zones in 2014 is seemed to be rather high at Han Gang river system and Chungcheongbukdo after analyzing. The influence of population density is rarely effective except Geum Gang river system. The influence of metropolis on the demand for water amenity zones is higher at Geum Gang river system than others.

This study introduced speical characteristics of an epidemiologic study on blood pressure and compared several statistical methods for evaluating the tracking phenomenon of blood pressure for Korean children. While correlation coefficients adjusted for measurement error are commonly used for the evaluation of tracking, it is hard to interpretate the results when correlation functions for lag-difference are not monotonous. McMahan defined a tracking as maintenance of relative rank over time and calculated tracking index usng growth curve model. The tracking index in McMahan's model is complicate to calculate, and it is hard to determine the degree of growth curve parameter. Blomqvist showed the relationship between the rate of change and the initial value. This concept could be extended for the evaluation of tracking. However, it is not so easy to interpretate the estimates in his model when those are non-positive.

Rock is a very complex and heterogeneous material, containing structural flaws due to geologic generation process. Because of those structural flaws, deformation and failure of rock when subjected to differential compressive stresses is non-linear. To simulate the non-linear behavior of rock, mechanical crack models, that is, sliding and shear crack models have been used in several studies. In those studies, non-linear stress-strain curves and various behaviors of rock including the changes of effective elastic moduli ($E_1$, $E_2$, ${\nu}_1$, ${\nu}_2$, $G_2$) due to crack growth were simulated (Kemeny, 1993; Jeon, 1996, 1998). Most of the studies have mainly focused on the verification of the mechanical crack model with relatively less attempt to apply it to practical purposes such as numerical analysis for underground and/or slope design. In this study, the validity of mechanical crack model was checked out by simulating the non-linear behavior of rock and consequently it was applied to a practical numerical analysis, finite element analysis commonly used.

This paper proposes a model for demand forecasting that will require less effort in the process of utilizing the new product diffusion model while also allowing for more objective and timely application. Drawing upon the theoretical foundation provided by the hype cycle model and the consumer adoption model, this proposed model makes it possible to estimate the maximum market potential based solely on bibliometrics and the scale of the early market, thereby presenting a method for supplying the major parameters required for the Bass model. Upon analyzing the forecasting ability of this model by applying it to the case of the hybrid car market, the model was confirmed to be capable of successfully forecasting results similar in scale to the market potential deduced through various other objective sources of information, thus underscoring the potentials of utilizing this model. Moreover, even the hype cycle or the life cycle can be estimated through direct linkage with bibliometrics and the Bass model. In cases where the hype cycles of other models have been observed, the forecasting ability of this model was demonstrated through simple case studies. Since this proposed model yields a maximum market potential that can also be applied directly to other growth curve models, the model presented in the following paper provides new directions in the endeavor to forecast technology diffusion and identify promising technologies through bibliometrics.
