This paper consider multinomial group testing which is concerned with classification each of N given units into one of k disjoint categories. In this paper, we propose exact Bayesian, approximate Bayesian, bootstrap methods for estimating individual category proportions using the multinomial group testing model proposed by Bar-Lev et al (2005). By the comparison of Mcan Squre Error (MSE), it is shown that the exact Bayesian method has a bettor efficiency and consistency than maximum likelihood method. We suggest an approximate Bayesian approach using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) for posterior computation. We derive exact credible intervals based on the exact Bayesian estimators and present confidence intervals using the bootstrap and MCMC. These intervals arc shown to often have better coverage properties and similar mean lengths to maximum likelihood method already available. Furthermore the proposed models are illustrated using data from a HIV blooding test study throughout California, 2000.

The fundamental goal of this study is to minimize the uncertainty of the median fragility curve and to assess the structural vulnerability under earthquake excitation. Bayesian Inference with Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation has been presented for efficient collapse response assessment of the independent intake water tower. The intake tower is significantly used as a diversion type of the hydropower station for maintaining power plant, reservoir and spillway tunnel. Therefore, the seismic fragility assessment of the intake tower is a pivotal component for estimating total system risk of the reservoir. In this investigation, an asymmetrical independent slender reinforced concrete structure is considered. The Bayesian Inference method provides the flexibility to integrate the prior information of collapse response data with the numerical analysis results. The preliminary information of risk data can be obtained from various sources like experiments, existing studies, and simplified linear dynamic analysis or nonlinear static analysis. The conventional lognormal model is used for plotting the fragility curve using the data from time history simulation and nonlinear static pushover analysis respectively. The Bayesian Inference approach is applied for integrating the data from both analyses with the help of MCMC simulation. The method achieves meaningful improvement of uncertainty associated with the fragility curve, and provides significant statistical and computational efficiency.

In research on behavioral studies, significant attention has been paid to the stage-sequential process for longitudinal data. Latent class profile analysis (LCPA) is an useful method to study sequential patterns of the behavioral development by the two-step identification process: identifying a small number of latent classes at each measurement occasion and two or more homogeneous subgroups in which individuals exhibit a similar sequence of latent class membership over time. Maximum likelihood (ML) estimates for LCPA are easily obtained by expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, and Bayesian inference can be implemented via Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). However, unusual properties in the likelihood of LCPA can cause difficulties in ML and Bayesian inference as well as estimation in small samples. This article describes and addresses erratic problems that involve conventional ML and Bayesian estimates for LCPA with small samples. We argue that these problems can be alleviated with a small amount of prior input. This study evaluates the performance of likelihood and MCMC-based estimates with the proposed prior in drawing inference over repeated sampling. Our simulation shows that estimates from the proposed methods perform better than those from the conventional ML and Bayesian method.

A computing method of fractional Bayes factor (FBF) for a point null hypothesis is explained. We propose alternative form of FBF that is the product of density ratio and a quantity using the generalized Savage-Dickey density ratio method. When it is difficult to compute the alternative form of FBF analytically, each term of the proposed form can be estimated by MCMC method. Finally, two examples are given.

극치사상을 예측하기 위한 기존의 빈도분석 결과의 이용에 대한 많은 문제점들이 부각되고 있다. 특히, 통계적 모형을 이용하기 위해서 흔히 사용되는 점근적 모형 (asymptotic model)의 합리적인 검토 없는 외삽 (extrapolation)은 산정된 확률 값을 과대 또는 과소평가하는 문제를 일으켜, 예측결과에 대한 불확실성을 과다하게 산정함으로써 불확실성에 대한 신뢰도를 감소시키는 문제가 있다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 국내에서 극치강우사상을 포함한 강우자료의 빈도분석에 대한 연구사례를 제공하고 점근적 모형을 사용하는 경우 발생되는 불확실성을 감소시키기 위한 방법론을 제시하였다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 극치강우사상의 빈도분석을 수행하는 데 있어서 최근 들어 여러 분야에서 다양하게 적용되고 있는 Bayesian MCMC (Markov Chain Monte Carlo) 방법을 사용하였으며, 그 결과를 최우추정방법 (Maximum likelihood estimation method)과 비교하였다. 특히 강우사상의 점 빈도분석에 흔히 이용되는 확률밀도함수로 GEV (Generalized Extreme Value) 분포와 Gumbel 분포를 모두 고려하여 두 분포의 결과를 비교하였으며, 이 과정에서 각각의 산정결과 및 불확실성은 근사식을 이용한 최우추정방법과 Bayesian 방법을 이용하여 각각 비교 및 분석되었다.

최근 금융시장의 변동성이 현저하게 증폭되면서 이에 대한 원인으로 금융시장의 군집 행동에 대한 이론적 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있지만 군집행동의 시계열적 특성을 파악할 수 있는 실증적 연구는 거의 없었다. 따라서 본 연구는 연속신념시스템(continuous beliefs system)의 이론적 확장을 통해 군집행동을 시계열적으로 측정할 수 있는 군집행동 파라미터를 도출하였으며 이를 추정하기 위한 계량모형을 제안하였다. 또한 이 모형의 효율적 추정을 위해 MCMC 추정법을 적용하였다. KOSPI와 DOW 지수월별자료를 이용한 실증분석 결과에 의하면 미국보다 우리나라 주식시장의 군집행동이, 그리고 글로벌 금융위기 전보다 글로벌 금융위기 이후에 군집행동이 강하게 나타났다. 또한 글로벌 금융위기로 인해 군집행동의 변동성(표준편차)이 증가하였으며 군집행동은 수익률 변동성과는 달리 지속적인 자기상관을 유지하지 않았다. 이런 결과는 군집행동이 금융시장을 불안하게 만드는 한 원인이 될 수 있음을 나타낸다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to arrange the life data analysis literatures based on the Bayesian method quantitatively and provide it as tables. Methods: The Bayesian method produces a more accurate estimates of other traditional methods in a small sample size, and it requires specific algorithm and prior information. Based on these three characteristics of the Bayesian method, the criteria for classifying the literature were taken into account. Results: In many studies, there are comparisons of estimation methods for the Bayesian method and maximum likelihood estimation (MLE), and sample size was greater than 10 and not more than 25. In probability distributions, a variety of distributions were found in addition to the distributions of Weibull commonly used in life data analysis, and MCMC and Lindley's Approximation were used evenly. Finally, Gamma, Uniform, Jeffrey and extension of Jeffrey distributions were evenly used as prior information. Conclusion: To verify the characteristics of the Bayesian method which are more superior to other methods in a smaller sample size, studies in less than 10 samples should be carried out. Also, comparative study is required by various distributions, thereby providing guidelines necessary.

Collaborative filtering is one of the most widely used methodologies for recommendation system. Collaborative filtering is based on a data matrix of each customer's preferences and frequently, there exits missing data problem. We introduced two imputation approach (multiple imputation via Markov Chain Monte Carlo method and multiple imputation via bootstrap method) to improve the prediction performance of collaborative filtering and evaluated the performance using EachMovie data.

We consider the problem of estimating binomial proportions in the presence of nonignorable nonresponse using the Bayesian selection approach. Inference is sampling based and Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods are used to perform the computations. We apply our method to study doctor visits data from the Korean National Family Income and Expenditure Survey (NFIES). The ignorable and nonignorable models are compared to Stasny's method (1991) by measuring the variability from the Metropolis-Hastings (MH) sampler. The results show that both models work very well.

This paper considers a Bayesian Poisson model for multivariate count data using multiplicative rates. More specifically we compose the parameter for overall arrival rates by the product of two parameters, a common effect and an individual effect. The common effect is composed of autoregressive evolution of the parameter, which allows for analysis on seasonal effects on all multivariate time series. In addition, analysis on individual effects allows the researcher to differentiate the time series by whatevercharacterization of their choice. This type of model allows the researcher to specifically analyze two different forms of effects separately and produce a more robust result. We illustrate a simple MCMC generation combined with a Gibbs sampler step in estimating the posterior joint distribution of all parameters in the model. On the whole, the model presented in this study is an intuitive model which may handle complicated problems, and we highlight the properties and possible applications of the model with an example, analyzing real time series data involving customer arrivals to a large retail store.
