In this paper, we consider multiple comparisons for the ratio of the failure rates in two components system that the lifetimes of the components have independent exponential distributions. Also we suggest Bayesian multiple comparisons procedure based on fractional Bayes factor when noninformative priors are applied for the parameters. Finally, we give numerical examples to illustrate our procedure.

주수급자 역할을 하는 건설기업의 부실화는 발주자에게 공사계약 미이행에 따른 피해를 초래할 수 있고, 전문건설업체 및 자재공급업체의 재무건전성에 악영향을 줄 수 있다. 건설업은 프로젝트를 수주하고 진도에 따라 기성을 받는 현금흐름의 재무적 특성이 존재하고, 사업 진행 중의 부실화는 투입한 자금의 손실로 이어질 수 있으므로 건설업체의 부실화 예측은 중요하다. 국내 건설업체의 부실화 예측은 90년도 초 미국에서 개발된 KMV (Kealhofer McQuown and Vasicek)사의 KMV모형으로 수행되는 경우도 있지만, 이 모형은 일반적인 기업 및 은행의 신용위험 평가에 개발되어져 건설기업 예측력에는 부족함이 있다. 또한, KMV값의 부도확률 예측력에 대해서는 분석대상의 기업수 및 데이터의 부족으로 의문점이 지속적으로 제기되고 있다. 따라서 이러한 의문점을 해결하기 위해 기존 부도예측확률모형에 베이지안 확률적 접근법(Bayesian Probabilistic Approach)을 접목하고자 한다. 베이즈 통계학의 사전확률(Prior Probability)만 적절하게 예측가능하다면 적은 정보라도 증거에 대한 조건부 획득으로 신뢰성 있는 사후확률(Posterior Probability)을 예측할 수 있기 때문이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 기존 부도예측확률모형에 베이지안 확률적 접근법을 활용하여 예상부도확률(Expected Default Frequency, EDF)을 측정하고, 기존 모형의 예상부도확률과 비교하여 정확성을 예측하고자 한다.

This paper is concerned with selecting covariates to be included in building linear random effects models designed to analyze clustered response normal data. It is based on a Bayesian approach, intended to propose and develop a procedure that uses probabilistic considerations for selecting premising subsets of covariates. The approach reformulates the linear random effects model in a hierarchical normal and point mass mixture model by introducing a set of latent variables that will be used to identify subset choices. The hierarchical model is flexible to easily accommodate sign constraints in the number of regression coefficients. Utilizing Gibbs sampler, the appropriate posterior probability of each subset of covariates is obtained. Thus, In this procedure, the most promising subset of covariates can be identified as that with highest posterior probability. The procedure is illustrated through a simulation study.

이 논문에서는 신뢰수명자료의 분석에 많이 사용되는 지수분포, 와이블분포, 로그정규분포에 대해, 현재의 자료가 어느 분포에 가장 적합한가를 알아보기 위한 베이자안 모형 선택방법을 제안한다. 일반적으로, 모수에 대한 사전분포가 부적절 분포인 경우, 베이즈 요인(Bayes factor)은 미지의 상수를 포함한다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 O’Hagan(1995)에 의해 제안된 fractional Bayes factor를 이용하여 자료를 가장 적합시키는 모형을 찾는다. 특히, 제2종 중도절단자료가 주어진 경우. 이 자료를 이용한 베이지안 모형선택에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어진 바가 없다. 실제 자료와 인위적인 자료를 이용하여 로그정규분포, 지수분포, 와이블모형중 어느 모형에 가장 잘 적합한지를 검정하는 예를 보인다.

Purpose: The purpose of this research is to determine optimal replacement age using non-informative prior information and Bayesian method. Methods: We propose a novel approach using Bayesian method to determine the optimal replacement age in block replacement policy by defining the prior probability with data on failure time and repair time. The Marcov Chain Monte Carlo simulation is used to investigate the asymptotic distribution of posterior parameters. Results: An optimal replacement age of block replacement policy is determined which minimizes cost and nonoperating time when no information on prior distribution of parameters is given. Conclusion: We find the posterior distribution of parameters when lack of information on prior distribution, so that the optimal replacement age which minimizes the total cost and maximizes the total values is determined.

This study introduced a Bayesian based frequency analysis in which the statistical trend seasonal analysis for hydrologic extreme series is incorporated. The proposed model employed Gumbel and GEV extreme distribution to characterize extreme events and a fully coupled bayesian frequency model was finally utilized to estimate design rainfalls in Seoul. Posterior distributions of the model parameters in both trend and seasonal analysis were updated through Markov Chain Monte Carlo Simulation mainly utilizing Gibbs sampler. This study proposed a way to make use of nonstationary frequency model for dynamic risk analysis, and showed an increase of hydrologic risk with time varying probability density functions. In addition, full annual cycle of the design rainfall through seasonal model could be applied to annual control such as dam operation, flood control, irrigation water management, and so on. The proposed study showed advantage in assessing statistical significance of parameters associated with trend analysis through statistical inference utilizing derived posterior distributions.

It is extremely important to improve methodologies for the lifetime assessment of porcelain insulators. While there has been a considerable amount of work regarding the phenomena of lifetime distributions, most of the studies assume that aging distributions follow the Weibull distribution. However, the true underlying distribution is unknown, giving rise to unrealistic inferences, such as parameter estimations. In this article, we review several distributions that are commonly used in reliability and survival analysis, such as the exponential, Weibull, log-normal, and gamma distributions. Some properties, including the characteristics of failure rates of these distributions, are presented. We use a Bayesian approach for model selection and parameter estimation procedures. A well-known measure, called the Bayes factor, is used to find the most plausible model among several contending models. The posterior mean can be used as a parameter estimate for unknown parameters, once a model with the highest posterior probability is selected. Extensive simulation studies are performed to demonstrate our methodologies.

The paper examines the impact of shadow economy and corruption, along with public expenditure, trade openness, foreign direct investment (FDI), inflation, and tax revenue on the economic growth of the BRICS countries. Data were collected from the World Bank, Transparency International, and Heritage Foundation over the 1991-2017 period. The Bayesian linear regression method is used to examine whether shadow economy, corruption and other indicators affect the economic growth of countries studied. This paper applies the normal prior suggested by Lemoine (2019) while the posterior distribution is simulated using Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) technique through the Gibbs sampling algorithm. The results indicate that public expenditure and trade openness can enhance the BRICS countries' economic growth, with the positive impact probability of 75.69% and 67.11%, respectively. Also, FDI, inflation, and tax revenue positively affect this growth, though the probability of positive effect is ambiguous, ranging from 51.13% to 56.36%. Further, the research's major finding is that shadow economy and control of corruption have a positive effect on the economic growth of the BRICS countries. Nevertheless, the posterior probabilities of these two factors are 62.23% and 65.25%, respectively. This result suggests that their positive effect probability is not high.

In general, common cause failures (CCFs) have been modeled with the assumption that components within the same group are symmetric. This assumption reduces the number of parameters required for the CCF probability estimation and allows us to use a parametric model, such as the alpha factor model. Although there are various asymmetric conditions in nuclear power plants (NPPs) to be addressed, the traditional CCF models are limited to symmetric conditions. Therefore, this paper proposes the copulabased CCF model to deal with asymmetric as well as symmetric CCFs. Once a joint distribution between the components is constructed using copulas, the proposed model is able to provide the probability of common cause basic events (CCBEs) by formulating a system of equations without symmetry assumptions. In addition, Bayesian inferences for the parameters of the marginal and copula distributions are introduced and Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms are employed to sample from the posterior distribution. Three example cases using simulated data, including asymmetry conditions in total failure probabilities and/or dependencies, are illustrated. Consequently, the copula-based CCF model provides appropriate estimates of CCFs for asymmetric conditions. This paper also discusses the limitations and notes on the proposed method.

기후 온난화의 한 현상으로 받아들여지는 집중호우로 인한 관심이 늘어난 만큼 강우량에 대한 예측 모형이 필요하다. 이러 환경 문제를 다룰 때, 모형을 설정하는 방법 중에 하나로 일반화 파레토 모형을 활용하는 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 서울특별시에 대한 1973년부터 2011년까지 매 7월 일별강우량 자료를 가지고 일반화 파레토 모형을 사용하여 강우량의 임계값(70mm) 이상의 분포가 어떻게 되는지 연구한다. 모수의 사전분포는 감마분포랑 역감마분포를 정의하고, 또는 제프리의 정보가 없는 사전분포를 두고, 깁스 표본방법을 통해 베이지안 사후예측분포를 구하고 얻어진 결과를 비교해 본다.
