Growth records over six generations of 686 pigs in SD-II Swine Line were used to estimate the genetic and phenotypic covariance functions for body weight as longitudinal data. A random regression model with Legendre polynomials of age as independent variables was used to estimate the (co)variances among the regression coefficients, thus the coefficients of genetic and permanent environmental covariance functions by restricted maximum likelihood employing the average information algorithm. The results showed that, using litter effect as additional random effect, a reduced order of fit did not describe the data adequately. For all five orders of fit, however, the change trends of genetic and phenotypic (co)variances were very similar from ${\kappa}$=3 onwards.

In this paper, a theoretical method was derived to redesign carbody members by substituting light-weight materials, and to estimate their structural characteristics. Some performance indices to estimate structural behaviors were derived in order to obtain equivalent designs in case of material substitutions under important design constraints of rolling stock, such as bending stiffness, natural frequency, bending and buckling strength. Validity of the theoretical method was evaluated by comparing its results with finite element results in some examples where the aluminium alloy was substituted for the structural steel. The numerical results of the examples show that the proposed method gives reasonable initial guesses for the material substitution designs.

Spherical type LNG carrier has many advantages, but has a demerit it is more expensive than membrane type one. Therefore, when calculating the initial estimate of spherical type LNG carrier, high accuracy calculation of tank weight has to be carried out. In this study the simplified analysis method which is able to calculate stresses of all the tank zones is established and has special feature to deal with static and dynamic loading. In order to verify the established method, the design results obtained through the method in this study have been compared with those of existing ship obtained from finite element analysis. As a result, the usability of simplified analysis method has been confirmed.

Outliers in survey are a perennial problem for applied survey statisticians to estimate the total or mean of population. The influence of outliers is more increasing as they have large weights in survey sampling. Many techniques have been studied to lower the impact of outliers on sample survey estimates. Outliers can be downweighted by winsorization or reducing the weight of outliers. The weight reduction is more reasonable than replacing one outlier by one value of non-outliers, because it has at least one unit. In this paper, we suggest the square root transformation of weight as the weight reduction method. We show this method is efficient with real data, and it's also easy to apply in practical affairs.

SnAgCu lead-free solder alloy is considered as the best alternative to eutectic tin-lead solder. However, the detailed material properties of SnAgCu solder are not available in public. Hence, this paper presents an estimation of mechanical properties of SnAgCu lead-free solder. In particular, the weight percent of Ag was varied as 1.0wt%, 2.5wt%, 3.0wt%, and 4.5wt% in order to estimate the effect of Ag in the Sn-xAg-0.5Cu ternary alloy system. For this purpose, four types of SnAgCu bars were first molded by casting and then standard specimens were cut out of molded bars. Micro-Vickers hardness, tensile tests were finally performed to estimate the variations in mechanical properties according to the weight percent of Ag. Test results reveal that the higher the weight percent of Ag is, the higher the hardness, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength become. More material properties will be further investigated in the future work.

In this paper we propose an estimation method for regression quantiles with left-truncated and right-censored data. The estimation procedure is based on the weight determined by the Kaplan-Meier estimate of the distribution of the response. We show how the proposed regression quantile estimators perform through analyses of Stanford heart transplant data and AIDS incubation data. We also investigate the effect of censoring on regression quantiles through simulation study.

We will prove size estimates of the Bergman kernel for the generalized Fock space ${\mathcal{F}}^2_{\varphi}$, where ${\varphi}$ belongs to the class $\mathcal{W} $. The main tool for the proof is to use the estimate on the canonical solution to the ${\bar{\partial}}$-equation. We use Delin's weighted $L^2$-estimate ([3], [6]) for it.

The linear absolute shrinkage and selection operator(Lasso) method improves the low prediction accuracy and poor interpretation of the ordinary least squares(OLS) estimate through the use of $L_1$ regularization on the regression coefficients. However, the Lasso is not robust to outliers, because the Lasso method minimizes the sum of squared residual errors. Even though the least absolute deviation(LAD) estimator is an alternative to the OLS estimate, it is sensitive to leverage points. We propose a robust Lasso estimator that is not sensitive to outliers, heavy-tailed errors or leverage points.

In this paper, we provide sufficient conditions of a pair of weights (u, v) and a function b so that the dyadic paraproduct is bounded from $L^2_u(X)$ into $L^2_v(X)$, where X is a space of homegeneous type. In order to prove the main result we use the honest dyadic system introduced in [10].

이미지로부터 돌출 영역을 추출하는 것은 이후의 다양한 이미지 처리를 위한 사전 작업으로서 중요한 의미를 가진다. 이 논문에서는 하나의 이미지에서 각 픽셀의 돌출 값을 추정하기 위한 개선된 방법을 소개한다. 논문에서 제안되는 방법은 이전에 연구된 색상과 통계적 방법을 이용한 돌출 값 추정 방법을 개선한 방법이다. 먼저 이미지에서 픽셀들의 색상관계를 이용해 각 픽셀의 돌출 값을 계산하고, 이 값을 근거로 중심 돌출 픽셀을 추정한다. 추정된 중심 돌출 픽셀을 기준으로 가우스 가중치를 적용하여 각 픽셀의 돌출 값을 재추정하고, 통계적 돌출 값 추정에 적용할 초기 확률을 위해 각 픽셀의 돌출 여부가 결정된다. 마지막으로 각 픽셀의 돌출 값은 베이즈 확률을 사용하여 계산된다. 실험결과는 본 논문의 적용 방법이 적정한 크기의 돌출 영역을 가진 이미지에 대해 이전의 방법보다 우수한 결과를 보임을 보여준다.
