The study of immune cellular composition has been of great scientific interest in immunology because of the generation of multiple large-scale data. From the statistical point of view, such immune cellular data should be treated as compositional. In compositional data, each element is positive, and all the elements sum to a constant, which can be set to one in general. Standard statistical methods are not directly applicable for the analysis of compositional data because they do not appropriately handle correlations between the compositional elements. In this paper, we review statistical methods for compositional data analysis and illustrate them in the context of immunology. Specifically, we focus on regression analyses using log-ratio transformations and the alternative approach using Dirichlet regression analysis, discuss their theoretical foundations, and illustrate their applications with immune cellular fraction data generated from colorectal cancer patients.

Effect of thickness on ZnO properties including the compositional ratio and crystallinity has been systematically investigated using a variety of characterization tools of x-ray diffraction, field emission scanning electron microscopy, x-ray fluorescence and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Interestingly, it was observed that ZnO films below 80 nm in thickness were in oxygen deficiency, while the oxygen ratio was increased in the films above the thickness, although the compositional ratio of ZnO film was not linearly varied with increasing film thickness. Also, ZnO crystallinity, which is characterized by (002) diffraction pattern, was clearly improved with increasing film thickness. The properties of ZnO film with different sputtering time and the nature of direct current reactive sputtering process were discussed in terms of compositional ratio, especially oxygen ratio in ZnO film.

Compositional data refers to data where the sum of the values of the components is a constant, hence the sample space is defined as a simplex making it impossible to apply statistical methods developed in the usual Euclidean vector space. A natural approach to overcome this restriction is to consider an appropriate transformation which moves the sample space onto the Euclidean space, and log-ratio typed transformations, such as the additive log-ratio (ALR), the centered log-ratio (CLR) and the isometric log-ratio (ILR) transformations, have been mostly conducted. However, in scenarios with sparsity, where certain components take on exact zero values, these log-ratio type transformations may not be effective. In this work, we mainly suggest an alternative transformation, that is the square-root transformation which moves the original sample space onto the directional space. We compare the square-root transformation with the log-ratio typed transformation by the simulation study and the real data example. In the real data example, we applied both types of transformations to the USG% data obtained from NBA, and used a density based clustering method, DBSCAN (density-based spatial clustering of applications with noise), to show the result.

Microwave dielectric properties of 0.15(B $a_{x}$S $r_{0.05}$)O-0.15(S $m_{2}$(1-y)N $d_{2y}$) $O_{3}$-0.7Ti $o_{2}$(x=o.9~0.1[mol.], y=6[m/o]) ceramics were investigated with BaO compositional ratio. Sintered density and resistivity of specimens were independent on the BaO compositional ratio. In the specimen with x=0.975[mol.], dielectric constant, quality factor and temperature coefficient of resonant frequency had good values of 76.52, 3001(at 3[GHz]) and +0.71[ppm/.ceg. C], respectively. By comparing with the stoichiometric compositions of 78.14, 2938(at 3[GHz])+14.19[ppm/.ceg. C], dielectric constant and quality factor showed similar properties, but the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency was highly improved. (author). refs., figs., tabs.s.s.

In this study, three kinds of Mn-Zn ferrite/Ni-Zn ferrite/$Ni_2Y$ ferroxplana prepared by the coprecipitation method were compounded with the silicon rubber, and the ring-shaped specimens with various compositional ratio were made. The material constant of ferrite/rubber composite absorbers was obtained by the 2-port method. The material constants of the ferrite/rubber composite microwave absorber made of three kinds of ferrite with various compositional ratio were utilized in design the matching conditions (frequency and thickness) on the impedance matching map. We were able to predict the matching condition from the matching map. On all three kinds of ferrite/rubber composite microwave absorber with less than compositional ratio 60[wt.%] of ferroxplana, we have found that the reflection losses were over than 20[dB] at the S-Band $(2\sim4[GHz])$ and C-Band$(4\sim8[GHz])$.

In this study, the magnetocaloric effect and transition temperature of bulk metallic glass, an amorphous material, were predicted through machine learning based on the composition features. From the Python module 'Matminer', 174 compositional features were obtained, and prediction performance was compared while reducing the composition features to prevent overfitting. After optimization using RandomForest, an ensemble model, changes in prediction performance were analyzed according to the number of compositional features. The R2 score was used as a performance metric in the regression prediction, and the best prediction performance was found using only 90 features predicting transition temperature, and 20 features predicting magnetocaloric effects. The most important feature when predicting magnetocaloric effects was the 'Fe' compositional ratio. The feature importance method provided by 'scikit-learn' was applied to sort compositional features. The feature importance method was found to be appropriate by comparing the prediction performance of the Fe-contained dataset with the full dataset.

Ethylene-1-butene copolymers were prepared with $SiO_2$-supported $TiCl_4$ catalyst by changing of 1-butene/ethylene molar ratio in feed, and the resulting copolymers were analyzed using temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) and crystallization fractionation (Crystaf) methods to investigated the influence of $C_4/C_2$ molar ratio in feed on chemical compositional distribution and other parameters such as molecular weight and its distribution. TREF analysis showed that the copolymers had a broad and bimodal chemical compositional distribution (CCD) regardless of the content of 1-butene in the copolymer. The chemical composition was in the range of 5 to 55 branches per 1,000 carbons for all copolymers prepared in the study. Furthermore, the broader CCD was revealed for the copolymers having the higher content of 1-butene. Crystaf analysis did not showed a bimodal CCD for the copolymers having the 1-butene content of less than 5.1 wt%. The lower crytalline part having 1-butene content in Crystaf analysis was less than of TREF analysis.

이 논문에서는 구성 자료의 지구통계학적 시뮬레이션을 위해 다중 자료 변환 기반 조건부 시뮬레이션 틀을 제안하였다. 우선 일반적인 통계 기법의 적용이 가능하도록 구성 자료에 로그비 변환을 적용하였다. 다음 변환들로는 최소/최대 자기상관 인자 변환과 지시자 변환을 순차적으로 적용하였다. 독립적인 새로운 변수의 생성을 위해 최소/최대 자기상관 인자 변환을 적용하였으며, 적용 결과 개별 변수들의 독립적인 시뮬레이션이 가능해진다. 그리고 다중 가우시안 확률 모델을 따르지 않는 변수들의 비모수적 조건부 누적 확률 분포 모델링을 위해 지시자 변환을 적용하였다. 최종적으로는 적용한 변환 방법들의 역순으로 역 변환을 적용하였다. 간석지 표층 퇴적물 성분 자료를 대상으로 제안 시뮬레이션 기법의 적용 가능성을 예시하였다. 모든 시뮬레이션 결과들은 구성 자료의 제한 조건을 만족하면서 샘플 자료의 통계 특성을 잘 반영하였다. 구성 자료의 다수의 시뮬레이션 결과들을 이용한 표층 퇴적물 분류를 통해 기존 크리깅에서는 얻을 수 없는 분류 결과의 확률론적 평가가 가능하였다. 따라서 제안 시뮬레이션 틀은 다양한 구성 자료의 지구통계학적 시뮬레이션에 효과적으로 이용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

시아나이드 화합물과 같은 환경에 유해한 도금첨가제를 사용하지 않는 친환경적인 무전해 구리도금용 도금용액조성을 개발하기 위하여, potassium ferrocyanide, aminoacetic acid (=glycine), 2,2'-dipyridyl과 같은 첨가제를 이용하여 첨가제의 투입량 또는 조성비가 도금특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 무전해도금으로 적층된 구리도금층의 도금속도는 potassium ferrocyanide와 aminoacetic acid의 조성비가 20 mg/L과 0.01 mol/L 이었을 때, $9.5mg{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$으로 나타났으며, 도금경도의 변화도 도금속도와 연동하여 비례적으로 변화하였다. 하지만 potassium ferrocyanide를 첨가하지 않은 도금용액의 조성에서도 $9.1mmg{\cdot}cm^{-2}{\cdot}hr^{-1}$의 도금속도를 나타내었다.
