  • 임상시험에서 적당한 크기의 표본 수 결정은 통계적으로 유의한 연구결과의 도출과 연구수행의 효율적인 비용을 산출하기 위해서 중요한 사항 중의 하나이다. 기존의 비열등성 시험에서 표본 수 계산방법에는 t 검정법을 이용한 모수적 방법이 있고, Wilcoxon 순위합 검정을 이용하여 Wang 등 (2003)이 제안한 표본 수 계산방법을 Kim과 Kim (2007)이 비열등성 시험에 확장시켜 적용하여 제시한 비모수적 방법이 있다. 본 논문에서는 Orban과 Wolfe (1982)가 제안한 선형위치통계량의 검정법에 Kim (1994)이 계산한 검정력의 결과를 이용한 표본 수 계산 방법을 제안하고, 그에 따른 표본 수 계산결과를 기존에 제시된 표본 수 계산 결과와 비교하였다. 그 결과 기존의 방법들보다 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법으로 계산한 경우의 표본 수가 가장 작게 나왔다. 따라서 모집단에 대해서 구체적인 분포함수를 가정하기 힘든 경우 모수적 방법을 이용하게 되면 검정력이 떨어지거나 유의수준을 제어하지 못하는 문제점을 보완하고, 모수적 방법에 비해 표본 수가 크게 나와 시간이나 비용 면에서 효율적이지 않았던 Wilcoxon 순위합 검정을 이용한 방법의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 방법으로 본 논문에서 제시한 위치 (placement)를 이용한 표본 수 계산이 이용될 수 있다.

  • The Z-map is a special farm of discrete non-parametric representation in which the height values at grid points on the xy-plane are stored as a 2D array z[ij]. While the z-map is the simplest farm of representing sculptured surfaces and is the most versatile scheme for modeling non-parametric objects, its practical application in industry (eg, tool-path generation) has aroused much controversy over its weaknesses, namely its inaccuracy, singularity (eg, vertical wall), and some excessive storage needs. Much research or the application of the z-map can be found in various articles, however, research on the systematic analysis of sculptured surface shape representation via the z-map model is rather rare. Presented in this paper are the following: shape modeling power of the simple z-map model, exact (within tolerance) z-map representation of sculptured surfaces which have some feature-shapes such as vertical-walls and real sharp-edges by adopting some complementary z-map models, and some application examples.

  • 최근 기후변화가 미래 수문자료에 미칠 수 있는 영향을 예측하기 위한 다양한 기법이 개발 및 적용되고 있으며, 과거 및 미래 수문자료의 경향성을 파악하고 비교하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 경향성 분석은 크게 모수적 검정과 비모수적 검정으로 구분될 수 있으나, 수문자료의 특성에 의해 비모수적 검정이 유리한 경우가 대부분이다. 본 연구에서도 낙동강 유역에서 수집된 과거 및 미래 강우량의 경향성 분석을 위해 비모수적 검정 중 MK 검정과 SR 검정을 사용하였다. 또한 본 연구에서는 경향성 분석 절차의 사전절차로 PW 기법과 TFPW 기법을 적용하고 비교함으로써, 자료의 사전처리가 최종 결과에 통계적으로 유의한 영향을 미칠수 있음을 제시하였다. 특히 SMK 기법을 적용하여 낙동강 유역의 강우자료의 경향성이 시작되는 시기를 추가로 분석하였다. 과거 강우자료의 분석결과 년총강우량은 대부분 증가하는 경향을 보였으며, 4월과 5월 그리고 9월과 10월 사이를 기점으로 강우패턴이 변화됨을 알 수 있었으며, 미래 강우자료의 분석결과 기후변화가 심해짐에 따라 경향성이 시작되는 시기가 수개월씩 빨라짐을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 연구결과는 향후 기후변화와 관련된 연구의 기초자료로 제공될 수 있으며, 낙동강 유역의 수자원 관리와 계획의 수립에 있어 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

  • This work concerns estimating a regression function, which is not linear, using aggregate data. In much of the empirical research, data are aggregated for various reasons before statistical analysis. In a traditional parametric approach, a linear estimation of the non-linear function with aggregate data can result in unstable estimators of the parameters. More serious consequence is the bias in the estimation of the non-linear function. The approach we employ is the kernel regression smoothing. We describe the conditions when the aggregate data can be used to estimate the regression function efficiently. Numerical examples will illustrate our findings.

  • The purpose of this study was to detect SNPs that were responsible for a carcass trait in Hanwoo populations. A non-parametric model applying a restricted partition method (RPM) was used, which exploited a partitioning algorithm considering statistical criteria for multiple comparison testing. Phenotypic and genotypic data were obtained from the Hanwoo Improvement Center, National Agricultural Cooperation Federation, Korea, in which the pedigree structure comprised 229 steers from 16 paternal half-sib proven sires that were born in Namwon or Daegwanryong livestock testing station between spring of 2002 and fall of 2003. A carcass trait, longissimus dorsi muscle area for each steer was measured after slaughter at approximately 722 days. Three SNPs (19_1, 18_4 and 28_2) near the microsatellite marker ILSTS035 on BTA6, around which the quantitative trait loci (QTL) for meat quality were previously detected, were used in this study. The RPM analyses resulted in two significant interaction effects between SNPs (19_1 and 18_4) and (19_1 and 28_2) at ${\alpha}$ = 0.05 level. However, under a general linear (parametric) model no interaction effect between any pair of the three SNPs was detected, while only one main effect for SNP19_1 was found for the trait. Also, under another non-parametric model using a multifactor dimensionality reduction (MDR) method, only one interaction effect of the two SNPs (19_1 and 28_2) explained the trait significantly better than the parametric model with the main effect of SNP19_1. Our results suggest that RPM is a good alternative to model choices that can find associations of the interaction effects of multiple SNPs for quantitative traits in livestock species.

  • 본 논문에서는 암반 분류를 위해 물리탐사 결과나 그동안 축적된 시공경험 등의 정성적 자료의 사용을 고려하였다. 터널 설계를 위한 요소(parameter)들이 공간적 상관관계를 갖기 때문에 지구 통계학(Geostatistics)을 이용하였으며, 특히, 비모수적 (non-parametric)방법 중의 하나인 지시 크리깅(indicator kriging) 기법을 사용했다. 최적 분류를 위한 선택 기준으로는 오차에 대응하는 비용(the cost of errors)을 사용했으며, 암반분류는 이분적 분류에 한정하였다. 앞으로, 정량적 데이타가 절대적으로 부족한 터널공사등에서 비교적 많은 양이 존재하는 정성적 데이타의 이용은 절실하며, 이러한 점에서 본 연구가 가지는 의미는 크다.

  • Local reinforcement in dowel type timber joints is essential to improve ductility, to increase load carrying capacity and to reduce the risk of brittle failure, especially in the case of using solid dowel. In many types of reinforcing materials available today, DVW (densified veneer wood) has been demonstrated to be the most advantages in terms of compatibility, embedding performance and ductility. Preliminary studies show that using appropriately sized DVW discs bonded into the timber interfaces may be an effective way to reinforce the connection. In this paper, non-linear 3-dimensional finite element models, incorporating orthotropic and non-linear material behaviour, have been developed to simulate structural performance of the timber joints locally reinforced by DVW discs. Different contact algorithms were applied to simulate contact conditions in the joints. The models were validated by the corresponding structural tests. Correlation between the experimental results and the finite element simulations is reasonably good. Using validated finite element models, parametric studies were undertaken to investigate effects of the DVW disc sizes and the end distances on shear stresses and normal stresses in a possible failure plane in the joint.

  • A review of previous studies shows that although there is a considerable difference between buckling loads of structures under follower and non-follower lateral loads, only the buckling load of FGM elliptical cylindrical shell under non-follower lateral load was investigated in the literature. This study is the first to obtain the buckling load of elliptical FGM cylindrical shells under follower lateral load and also make a comparison between buckling loads of elliptical FGM cylindrical shells under follower and non-follower lateral loads. Moreover, this research is the first one to derive the load potential function of elliptical cylindrical shell. In this regard, the FGM cylindrical elliptical shell was modeled using the semi-analytical finite strip method and based on the First Shear Deformation Theory (FSDT). The shell is discretized by strip elements aligned in the longitudinal direction. The Lagrangian and harmonic shape functions were considered in the circumference and longitudinal directions, respectively. The buckling pressure of the shell under follower and non-follower lateral loads was obtained from eigenvalue problem. The results obtained from the model were compared with those presented in the literature to evaluate the validity of the model. A comparison index was defined to compare the buckling loads of the shell under follower and non-follower lateral load. A parametric study was carried out to investigate the effects of material properties and shell geometry characteristics on the comparison index. For the elliptical cylindrical shells with length-to-radius ratio greater than 16 and major-to-minor axis ratio greater than 0.6, the comparison index reaches to more than 20 percent which is significant. Moreover, the maximum difference is about 30 percent in some cases. The results obtained from the parametric study indicate that the buckling load of long elliptical cylindrical shell under non-follower load is not reliable.
