It is often possible to test for differences in population means when two or more samples are extracted from each N population. However, it is not possible to test for the mean difference if one sample is extracted from each population since a sample mean does not exist. But, by dividing a group of samples extracted one by one into two groups and generating a sample mean, we can identify a heterogeneity that may exist within the group by comparing the differences of the groups' mean. Therefore, we propose a minimum combination t-test method that can test the mean difference by the number of combinations that can be divided into two groups. In this paper, we proposed a method to test differences between means to check heterogeneity in a group of extracted samples. We verified the performance of the method by simulation study and obtained the results through real data analysis.

The mean residence time is the time scale for intermediate status between infiltration and runoff and one of the critical factors for understanding runoff response, erosion, and eco-hydrological processes. This research explored a direct method to estimate the mean residence time over existing indirect, isotope tracer method. Spatial and temporal distributions of soil moisture have been monitored for a year with 2-hours monitoring interval. Mean residence time for soil moisture showed apparent increasing tendency to deeper depth and decreasing trend during summer periods, which had intensive rainfall events. The mean residence times obtained from this research showed similar trend to those obtained from other isotope methods, which means the direct method can be an efficient approach to obtain the mean residence time.

This study examined the relationship between homeroom teachers' transformational leadership, high school students' satisfaction in school life, and learning motivation. The researchers selected boys and girls' general high school as the target population and gathered survey data. The number of participants was 606; these were students from first and second grades. Questionnaires on teachers' transformational leadership, students' learning motivation, and satisfaction in school life were measured. T-tests showed the following: As a result of the analysis of the difference of transformational leadership, the average of the teachers with careers spanning over 15 years was statistically significantly higher than those whose career spanned over less than 5 years. The group which perceived the transformational leadership of the homeroom teacher as high showed higher motivation scores than the group with lower perception. The means were statistically significant in all the sub-variables. In school - life satisfaction, the average of the former group which perceived the transformative leadership of the homeroom teacher as high was significantly higher than that of the other group.

In this study, we propose a statistical model based on projection that generates interview scores. In this model, each interviewee's true score and its related variable are viewed as X, Y values respectively in the two dimensional plane, and each interviewer's score is the projected score of true score X to the axis rotated by some angle, which reflects the interviewer's perspective. Each interviewer's observed interview score is obtained by adding personal bias and observed error to this projected score. We compared commonly used standardizing methods of interview scores such as trimmed mean method, rank method, and z-score method based on the proposed statistical model. In this simulation, two types of interview methods, two numbers of interviewers, two degrees of interviewers' expertise and two distributions and three correlations between actual score and its related variable are all considered.

The relationship between precipitation and groundwater level and the correlation between the moving average of precipitation and goundwater level were analyzed for the southern area of Korean peninsular. There were somewhat different patterns of seasonal fluctuation of groundwater level data. The groundwater level data tends to decrease in dry spell and increase in wet spell however the range between maximum and minimum values is quite different for each gauging point. The maximum correlation coefficient for each gauging station is obtained in a range of 20- to 130-day moving average period of precipitation. The critical infiltration, which is the maximum daily infiltration averaged throughout watershed, value is turned out to have the range of 10 to 90 mm and the moving average period is 10 to 150 days. We could have stronger correlation when we consider critical infiltration and modify the original precipitation data than we use original precipitation data.

Two control charts are usually required to monitor both the process mean and variance. In this paper, we introduce control procedures for jointly monitoring the process mean and variance with one control chart, and investigate efficiency of the introduced charts by comparing with the combined two EWMA charts. Our numerical results show that the GLR chart, the Omnibus EWMA chart, and the Interval chart have good ARL properties for simultaneous changes in the process mean and variance.

전주월드컵 경기장은 Fully Digital sidelobe-free array 방식의 음향시스템을 도입한 유일한 경기장으로서 대규모 경기장에 Line Array type의 스피커를 사용한 최초의 예가 된다. 현장음향실험을 통하여 경기장의 주요 음향 파라미터인 음압레벨(SPL), 잔향시간(RT), 음성명료도(D50), 음성이해도(RASTI) 등을 측정함으로 전주월드컵 경기장의 음향시스템의 특성과 종합적인 음향성능을 알아보고자 한다. 주음원(Messenger)만 사용하여 실험한 결과 음압레벨(SPL)은 관중석의 객석간 위치별 음압레벨 표준편차가 약 2.78dB로 나타났다. 이 값은 당초의 음압레벨분포편차의 목표치인 ${\pm}3dB$의 범위 이내로 나타났다. 또한 최대음압레벨은 평균 100.1dB로 목표치인 96dB을 초과하는 것으로 나타났다. 잔향시간(RT)은 공석시 전체 관중석 평균 2.94초로 나타났으며, 1000Hz에서의 평균 잔향시간은 2.58초로 나타났다. 잔향시간은 실제 경기장의 사용 시 약 0.3-0.4초의 감소가 발생되리라 판단된다. 음성명료도(D50)는 전체 관중석 평균 $56.2\%$로 매우 양호한 상태로 나타났고 음성이해도(RASTI)는 전체 관중석 평균 0.63으로 목표치인 0.5를 상회하는 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 현장음향실험 결과를 분석한 결과 전주월드컵 경기장의 음향성공은 음향설계 요건을 만족하는 것으로 나타났고 야외 경기장 같은 대형공간에서의 음향시스템에 있어서 Fully Digital sidelobe-free array 방식의 음향시스템의 적용가능성을 보여주고 있는 것으로 나타났다.

In longitudinal data analysis, the serial correlation of repeated outcomes must be taken into account using covariance matrix. Modeling of the covariance matrix is important to estimate the effect of covariates properly. However, It is challenging because there are many parameters in the matrix and the estimated covariance matrix should be positive definite. To overcome the restrictions, several Cholesky decomposition approaches for the covariance matrix were proposed: modified autoregressive (AR), moving average (MA), ARMA Cholesky decompositions. In this paper we review them and compare the performance of the approaches using simulation studies.

This study was performed to assess the nutritional status of the elderly residing in a silver town. A survey was conducted in April, 2005 for fifty two healthy persons (men 18, women 34) aged over 65 years living in a private silver town of Busan Metropolitan City, Korea. General data were collected using questionnaires at homes of the subjects and food consumption data for 3 days were obtained by investigating the individual leftovers from the meals served at the foodservice facilities by well-trained graduate students of the Department of Food & Nutrition. Nutrient intake was calculated from food consumption data using Can Pro (version 3.0, Korea). Average daily intake of energy was 1077.6 kcal in men and 974.2 kcal in women. Average protein intake of the men and women amounted to 85.5 g and 67.7 g, respectively. The consumption of cereals contributed 45.3% of energy intake for all subjects. Only 1.1% of calcium intake was from milk and milk products. Almost 100% of the elderly did not reach 75% of estimated energy requirement (EER) in energy intake and 75% of estimated average requirement (EAR) in folic acid intake. Percentages of the subjects who consumed protein above 125% of EAR were 100% and 91% in men and women, respectively. All subjects consumed above EAR in dietary intake of protein and iron. These data suggest that nutrient intake of the elderly living in the silver town would be inadequate, and thus the efficient management of foodservice is necessary to improve the nutritional status of the elderly living in the silver town.
