  • We investigated the classification of learner groups for students' mathematical modeling competency and analyzed the characteristics in each profile group for each country and variable using PISA 2012 data from six countries. With a perspective on measuring sub-competency, we applied the latent profile analysis method to student achievement for mathematical modeling variables - Formulate, Employ, Interpret. The findings showed the presence of 4-6 profile groups, with the variables exhibiting high and low achievement within each profile group varying by country, and a hierarchical structure was observed in the profile group distribution in all countries, interestingly, the Formulate variable showed the largest difference between high-achieving and low-achieving profile groups. These results have significant implications. Comparison by country, variable, and profile group can provide valuable insights into understanding the various characteristics of students' mathematical modeling competency. The Formulate variable could serve as the most suitable predictor of a student's profile group and the score range of other variables. We suggest further studies to gain more detailed insights into mathematical modeling competency with different cultural contexts.

  • The purpose of this study is to analyze the causal relationship, in the perspective of Total Quality Management, among the education quality factors, which were suggested in the previous researches. Lee et al. [16] had tried to analyze the relationship among education factors, but they did not estimate the education factor using latent variable concept, which is very reasonable and efficient to represent the constructed concepts. So this study attempts to analyze the causal relationship among education quality factors, represented as latent variables used in structural equation modeling (SEM), and compared with each other. In this study, education quality factors were measured by several measures, constructed as several latent variables, and then processed with AMOS, the most efficient statistical package in the SEM area. In order to analyze the causal relationship among the education quality factors constructed as latent variables, this study designed the structural equation model with suggested factors and established several research hypotheses. This study discovered a prominent causality among the education quality factors, such as education leadership, student scholastic performance and satisfaction of education quality, which is similar to that of previous research. This outcome is really a unique Korean syndrome manifest within our educational career orientation.

  • Another approach (multi-parameter measurement method) of interlaboratory studies of test methods is presented. When the unrestricted normal likelihood for the fixed latent variable model is unbounded, we propose a me쇙 of restricting the parameter space by formulating realistic alternative hypothesis under which the likelihood is bounded. A simulation study verified the claim of conservatism of level of significance based on assumptions about central chi-square distributed test statistics and on Bonferroni approximations. We showed a randomization approach that furnished empirical significance levels would be better than a Bonferroni adjustment.

  • 잠재집단 모형은 다변량 범주형 자료 안에 숨겨진 집단을 찾는 매우 중요한 도구종의 하나이다. 하지만 실제 자료분석에서 너무 많은 관찰변수들을 포함시킨 모형은 모형을 복잡하게 만들고 또한 모수추정의 정확도에 영향을 주기 때문에 정보가 손실되지 않는 내에서 유용한 변수를 찾는 것은 중요한 문제이다. Dean과 Raftery (2010)은 잠재집단 모형에서의 변수선택을 위해 BIC를 이용한 Headlong search 알고리즘을 제시하였는데 본 논문에서는 이 방법을 대체할 수 있는 방법으로 적합한 모형으로부터 계산된 잠재집단에 속할 사후확률을 이용하여 변수 선택을 하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 이를 위하여 잠재집단 모형의 적합성을 측정할 수 있는 새로운 통계량과 이를 이용한 변수선택 알고리즘을 제시할 것이다. 또한 제안된 방법의 효율성을 모의실험과 실증자료 분석을 통해 살펴보고자 한다.

  • 인유두종 바이러스(Human Papillomavirus: HPV)는 사마귀로부터 생식기 및 배설기의 침윤성 암에 이르기까지 여러 질병과 연관되어 있음이 알려져 있다. 현재 200종 이상이 알려져 있고, 이 중 85개는 전체 유전자가 밝혀져 있다. HPV 감염 시 만들어지는 단백질 중 E6. E7 단백질은 암 억제 유전자(p53, pRb)에 결합하여 세포의 암 억제 기능을 저하시키고 이로 인해 암을 발생시킨다. 본 논문은 암 발생과 밀접한 관련이 있는 HPV의 E6 단백질 서열과 HPV 유형(HPV Type)을 가지고, PLSA (Probabilistic Latent Semantic Analysis) 방법을 이용하여 HPV를 클러스터링(clustering) 해 보았다. 실험 결과, 특정 클러스터는 질병과 밀접하게 연관되어 있으며, 이와 관련된 주요 서열 분석이 가능함을 보여주고 있다.

  • Association rule mining searches for interesting relationships among items in a given large data set. Association rules are frequently used by retail stores to assist in marketing, advertising, floor placement, and inventory control. There are three primary threshold measures in association rule; support and confidence and lift. In the case of appling real world to association rules, we have some difficulties in data interpretation because we obtain many rules. In this paper, we develop the model of association rules using latent variables for environmental survey data.

  • PURPOSES : The purpose of this study is to verify traffic accident injury severity factors for elderly drivers and the relative relationship of these factors. METHODS : To verify the complicated relationship among traffic accident injury severity factors, this study employed a structural equation model (SEM). To develop the SEM structure, only the severity of human injuries was considered; moreover, the observed variables were selected through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The number of fatalities, serious injuries, moderate injuries, and minor injuries were selected for observed variables of severity. For latent variables, the accident situation, environment, and vehicle and driver factors were respectively defined. Seven observed variables were selected among the latent variables. RESULTS : This study showed that the vehicle and driver factor was the most influential factor for accident severity among the latent factors. For the observed variable, the type of vehicle, type of accident, and status of day or night for each latent variable were the most relative observed variables for the accident severity factor. To verify the validity of the SEM, several model fitting methods, including ${\chi}^2/df$, GFI, AGFI, CFI, and others, were applied, and the model produced meaningful results. CONCLUSIONS : Based on an analysis of results of traffic accident injury severity for elderly drivers, the vehicle and driver factor was the most influential one for injury severity. Therefore, education tailored to elderly drivers is needed to improve driving behavior of elderly driver.

  • 통행자의 통행수단선택행태는 개인의 사회경제적 속성과 수단의 속성뿐만 아니라 통행자 개인의 잠재된 통행행태 즉, 통행행태적 선호도 역시 큰 영향을 미친다. 통행수단선택행태에 특정한 영향을 미치는 잠재통행행태를 수단선택모형에 반영한다면 비관측요인에서 기인하는 오차를 크게 줄일 수 있고, 통행행태에 대한 다양하고 보다 합리적인 해석이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 한강 수상대중교통 도입에 따른 수단선택행태조사 자료를 활용하여 잠재변수를 정의하고 새로운 수단에 대한 분석이 가능한 RP/SP 결합모형을 구축하였다. 잠재변수는 행태설문조사자료를 기반으로 요인분석을 통해 계량화하였다. 모형구축결과 통행자들의 잠재된 통행행태는 수단선택행태에 유의한 영향을 미치고, 잠재변수를 반영한 경우 모형의 적합도가 향상되었다. 또한 잠재행태 관점에서도 RP/SP 결합모형이 SP모형에 비해 합리적인 것으로 분석되었다.
