The present paper describes the problem of hydrologic response estimation using non-parametric ridge regression method. The method adapted in this work is based on the minimization of the $C_L$ statistics, which is an estimate of the mean square prediction error. For this method, effects of using both the identity matrix and the Laplacian matrix were considered. In addition, we evaluated methods for estimating the error variance of the impulse response. As a result of analyzing synthetic and real data, a good estimation was made when the Laplacian matrix for the weighting matrix and the bias corrected estimate for the error variance were used. The method and procedure presented in present paper will play a robust and effective role on separating hydrologic response.

To estimate probabilistic distribution function from experimental data, kernel density estimation(KDE) is mostly used in cases when data is insufficient. The estimated distribution using KDE depends on bandwidth selectors that smoothen or overfit a kernel estimator to experimental data. In this study, various bandwidth selectors such as the Silverman's rule of thumb, rule using adaptive estimates, and oversmoothing rule, were compared for accuracy and conservativeness. For this, statistical simulations were carried out using assumed true models including unimodal and multimodal distributions, and, accuracies and conservativeness of estimating distribution functions were compared according to various data. In addition, it was verified how the estimated distributions using KDE with different bandwidth selectors affect reliability analysis results through simple reliability examples.

Life table-related studies in insect ecology have been an interesting topic for insect researchers. Two calculation methods are commonly applied to estimate the intrinsic rate of natural increase (r_m) in the life table statistics. The first method is to estimate an approximate r_m by dividing the natural logarithm of the net reproductive rate (R₀) by mean generation time (T) (namely mean generation time-based method). Another approach is to apply the Lotka-Euler equation derived from the population growth equation of Lotka-Volterra to estimate accurate r_m using the maximum likelihood method (Lotka-Euler equation-based method). In the latter case, there is a difference in the estimated r_m value when the initial age class of the target cohort was set to "0" or "1", which confused the application. In this short review, a brief history of the calculation process of the life table was reviewed. It was again confirmed in the Lotka-Euler equation-based method that the form of $\sum\limits_{x=1}^{w}e^{-rx}l_xm_x=1$ should be applied to estimate r_m when the first age class was set to zero, while the form of $\sum\limits_{x=0}^{w}e^{-r(x+1)}l_xm_x=1$ when set to one.

확률강우량은 일반적으로 년최대 강우량자료를 바탕으로 빈도해석을 실시하여 산정하며, 국내에서는 주로 매시각별로 관측된 자료를 이용하여 지속기간 1시간에서 24시간 사이에 대하여 산정하고 있다. 그러나 도달시간이 매우 단시간인 도시 유역의 확률강우량 산정을 위해서는 지속기간 15분 혹은 지속기간 30분과 같은 짧은 지속기간에 대한 확률강우량의 추정이 필요하며, 이와는 반대로 지속기간 24시간 이상의 장기간에 대한 확률강우량의 추정이 필요한 경우도 있다. 본 연구에서는 이와 같이 관측되지 않은 지속기간에 대한 확률강 우량을 산정하기 위한 방법으로써 강우자료의 지속기간별로 일정한 스케일이 유지된다는 스케일링 성질(Scaling Invariance Property)을 적용하여 확률강우량을 산정하였다. 이를 위해 대상지역의 지속기간별 년최대 강우량자료를 구축한 뒤 L-모멘트법으로 산정된 매개변수와 스케일링 성질을 이용하여 확률강우량을 산정한 후 이를 기존의 빈도해석 결과에 의한 확률강우량과 비교하여 적용성을 판단하였다.

사장교에서 케이블은 하중을 지지하는 주요 부재로, 케이블 장력은 사장교의 건전성과 안전도 평가에 있어서 매우 중요한 변수이다. 케이블 장력을 추정하기 위한 대표적인 방법으로는 로드셀을 이용한 직접법과 진동 계측 자료를 이용한 간접법 등이 있으며, 최근에는 자기장-응력 관계를 이용한 EM(Elasto-Magnetic) 센서 측정법이 개발되어 케이블 장력 추정에 적용되었다. 본 논문에서는 세 가지 장력 추정 기법을 실제 시공중인 사장교에 적용하여, 그 성능을 상호 비교하였다. 본 연구는 한국의 KAIST와 미국 Northeastern 대학교의 공동연구로 수행되었다. 대상 교량은 부산 화명동과 김해 초정리를 연결하기 위해 현재 건설중인 화명대교이다. 화명대교의 교량 형식은 2주탑 콘크리트 사장교 (주탑 경간장 270m, 총 사장교 구간장 500m)이며, 사장재로는 MS (Multi-Strand) 형 케이블이 사용되었다. 실험 당시 화명대교는 중앙경간의 폐합 후 선형관리를 위한 장력조정작업을 수행하였으며, 케이블 재긴장시의 정확한 장력관리를 위하여 로드셀을 이용한 Lift-off test방법으로 케이블의 장력을 측정하였다. 이와 동시에 두 개의 케이블을 대상으로 진동 가속도 센서와 EM 센서를 설치하고 장력 계측을 수행하였으며, 재긴장 단계별 장력 변화치를 지속적으로 계측하였다. 계측된 결과를 바탕으로 케이블 장력 추정 기법의 정확성 및 실교량에서의 활용성을 비교하였다.

Least squares (LS) regression is a classic method for regression that is optimal under assumptions of regression and usual observations. However, the presence of unusual data in the LS method leads to seriously distorted estimates. Therefore, various robust estimation methods are proposed to circumvent the limitations of traditional LS regression. Among these, there are M-estimators based on maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), L-estimators based on linear combinations of order statistics and R-estimators based on a linear combinations of the ordered residuals. In this paper, robust regression estimators with high breakdown point and/or with high efficiency are compared under several simulated situations. The paper analyses and compares distributions of estimates as well as relative efficiencies calculated from mean squared errors (MSE) in the simulation study. We conclude that MM-estimators or GR-estimators are a good choice for the real data application.

확률강우량 산정은 수공구조물의 설계에 있어서 중요한 과정이다. 확률강우량을 산정함에 있어 지난 수십년간 모멘트법, 최우도법, 확률가중모멘트법, 그리고 L-모멘트법 등의 매개변수적 방법이 발달되어 적용되어 왔다. 매개변수적 빈도해석 방법은 그 적용성이 여러 연구를 통해 검정되었지만 가정한 확률분포와 매개변수 추정방법에 따라 확률강우량이 달라지며 강우지속시간과 기후변화 등에 따른 분포의 변동성을 고려해야 하는 단점이 있다. 매개변수적 빈도해석 방법의 단점을 극복하기 위하여 최근에 핵밀도함수 등을 포함한 다양한 비매개변수적 빈도해석 방법이 제안되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 서울기상관측소의 지난 50년간 지속시간 24시간 강우량을 바탕으로 수자원 분야에서 다양하게 적용된 바가 있는 인공신경망 기법과 대표적인 매개변수적 빈도해석 방법인 L-모멘트법을 이용하여 확률강우량을 산정하고 비교하였다. 그 결과 인공신경망 기법은 전통적인 매개변수방법의 하나인 L-모멘트법 보다 확률강우량 산정에 있어서 높은 정확도를 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

This paper proposes a new reliability estimation method for one-shot systems using quantal response data, which is based on a parametric estimation method. The proposed method considers the time-variant failure ratio of the quantal response data and it can overcome the problems in parametric estimation methods. Seven reliability estimation methods in the literature were compared with the proposed method in terms of the accuracy of reliability estimation in order to verify the proposed method. To compare the accuracy of reliability estimation, the SSEs (Sum of Squared Error) of the reliability estimation results for the different estimation methods were evaluated according to the various numbers of samples tested. The proposed method provided more accurate reliability estimation results than any of the other methods from the results of the accuracy comparison.

Many methods have been studied to estimate the time delay between incoming signals to two receivers. In the case of the method based on the channel estimation technique, the relative delay between the input signals of the two receivers is estimated as an impulse response of the channel between the two signals. In this case, the characteristic of the channel has sparsity. Most of the existing methods do not take advantage of the channel sparseness. In this paper, we propose a time delay estimation method using BPD (Basis Pursuit Denoising) optimization technique, which is one of the sparse signal optimization methods, in order to utilize the channel sparseness. Compared with the existing GCC (Generalized Cross Correlation) method, adaptive eigen decomposition method and RZA-LMS (Reweighted Zero-Attracting Least Mean Square), the proposed method shows that it can mitigate the threshold phenomenon even under a white Gaussian source, a colored signal source and oceanic mammal sound source.
