Recent advancements in mobile device technology have enabled real-time positioning so that mobile patterns of people and favorable locations can be identified and related researches have become plentiful. One of the fields of research is the relationship between the object properties and the favored location to visit. The object properties of a person include personality, which is a major property jobs, income, gender, and age. In this study, we analyzed the relationship between the human personality and the preference of the location to visit. We used Spearman's Rank correlation coefficient, one of the many methods that can be used to determine the correlation between two variables. Instead of using actual data values, Spearman's Rank correlation coefficient deals with the ranks of the two data sets. In our research, the personality and the location data sets are used. Our personality data is ranked in five ranks and the location data is ranked in 8 ranks. Spearman's Rank correlation coefficient showed better results compared to Pearson linear correlation coefficient and Kendall rank correlation coefficient. Using Spearman's correlation coefficient, the degree of the relationship between the personality and the location preference is found to be 43%.

In this study, we investigated whether there is a significant relationship between the natural radiation dose rate and the cancer incidences in Korea by using a big data analysis. The natural dose rate data for this analysis were the measurement data obtained from the 171 monitoring posts of the 113 administrative districts in Korea over the 10 years from 2007 to 2016. The relative cancer incidences for this analysis were the difference in the cancer patients per hundred thousand people year-on-year in the administrative districts with the five highest and the five lowest natural gamma dose rates each year over the same period. To analyze the correlation between the two variables, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient between the two rates was derived using R, a well-known big data analysis tool. The analysis showed that Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was more than 0.05 and that the correlation between the two variables was not statistically significant.

In this study, the exhaust characteristics of the diesel engine for the change of the mixing ratio of biodiesel fuel were quantitatively analyzed by using the numerical analysis method. As the fuel used in the experiment, the diesel and biodiesel(waste oil, soybean oil), the mixed fuel BD2(Diesel only), BD3, BD5, BD20, BD50 and BD100 were used. The injection pressure($p_{inj}$) was set to 400bar, 600bar, 800bar, 1000bar and 1200bar as the experimental variable. Also the concept of the standard deviation, Pearson's correlation coefficient and Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient based on the statistics was introduced in order to analyze the exhaust characteristics of the quantitative NOx and Soot according to the injection pressure and the mixing ratio variation of biodiesel blending fuel. It is considered that as a result of studies, for the waste oil, NOx and Soot can be simultaneously reduced through control of the mixing ratio at the regions of $p_{inj}=400bar$ and $p_{inj}=600bar$, and the Soot can be reduced without affecting on the emission of NOx at more than $p_{inj}=800bar$. For the soybean oil, NOx and Soot can be simultaneously reduced at $p_{inj}=400bar$ and the Soot can be reduced without affecting on the emission of NOx at $p_{inj}=600bar$.

Background: The Sasang constitutional analysis tool (SCAT) is an integrated Sasang constitutional analysis system developed by the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of a questionnaire for measuring personality and pathophysiological symptoms that is one of the components of the SCAT. Methods: In this study, data were collected from university students in their twenties. Tests were administered twice, with an interval of 4 weeks between tests. Test-retest data from 176 students were collected and used for analysis. Internal consistency reliability was analyzed by using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and test-retest reliability was analyzed by using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.788 for personality, 0.511 for eating habits, 0.718 for digestion, 0.667 for heat- or cold-wise penchant, and 0.612 for water ingestion. Spearman's rank correlation coefficients, which were used to assess correlations between test and retest results, ranged from 0.444 to 0.828. Conclusion: The internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the SCAT questionnaire were found to be satisfactory.

Median rank is used to systemize the evaluation of research personnel in a research institution. Suggested evaluation system is purposed to enhance the fairness, distinguish the factors of evaluation and maximize the synergy of researchers. The factors of evaluation are largely divided into the subjective and the objective factor. The final rank of the researchers is determined with the converted median rank value. The propriety of applying median rank is tested by Spearman's rank correlation coefficient. We also suggest the method of determining the rank of researchers. This evaluation system is not fixed in special case but can be changed in situation. It also can be applied to any other personnel evaluation system through the appropriate revision.

본 연구에서는 바이오디젤연료 혼합비변화에 대한 디젤엔진의 배기특성에 대해 조사하였다. 실험에 사용된 연료는 경유와 바이오디젤(폐식용유) 혼합연료 BD3, BD5, BD20, BD50 및 BD100을 사용하였으며, 실험변수로서 분사압력(${\Delta}p_{inj}$)을 400bar, 600bar, 800bar, 1000bar 및 1200bar로 설정하였다. 분사압력과 바이오디젤 혼합연료 혼합비에 따른 정량적인 NOx와 Soot의 배기특성 해석을 위하여 통계학에 기초한 피어슨 상관계수와 스피어만 상관계수의 개념을 도입하였다. 본 연구의 결과로서 실험 조건 전체에 대한 피어슨 상관계수는 -0.732, 스피어만 상관계수는 -0.724로 NOx와 Soot 발생의 상관관계가 선형적이다. 특히 분사압력 800bar 조건에서 피어슨 상관계수가 -0.089으로 NOx와 Soot 배출량 상관관계가 0에 가깝기 때문에, 바이오디젤 연료 혼합비 제어를 통한 NOx와 Soot의 동시저감이 가능하다고 판단된다.

시계열 분석은 시간 순서로 정렬된 데이터로부터 다양한 정보와 인사이트를 발견하기 위한 방법으로 많은 조직에서 비즈니스 문제 해결을 위해 적용하고 있다. 그중에서 시계열 유사도 측정은 패턴이 비슷한 시계열들을 식별하기 위한 단계로서 시계열 검색 및 군집화와 같은 시계열 분석 응용에서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 전체 시계열이 아닌 이상치들을 중심으로 시계열 유사도 측정을 계산 효율적으로 수행하는 방법을 제안한다. 이와 관련하여 이상탐지를 통해 추출된 서브시퀀스 집합에 대한 유사도 측정 결과와 시계열 전체에 대한 유사도 측정 결과 사이의 순위 상관관계를 측정 및 분석하여 제안 방법을 검증한다. 실험 결과로써, 주식 종목 시계열 데이터에 이상치 비율 10% 을 적용한 유사도 측정으로부터 최대 0.9 이상의 스피어만 순위 상관계수를 확인하였다. 결론적으로 제안 방법을 통해 시계열 유사도 측정에 소요되는 계산량을 유의미하게 절감하는 동시에 신뢰 가능한 시계열 검색 및 군집화 결과를 기대할 수 있다.

Objectives: This study compared the cyclic fatigue resistance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) files obtained in a conventional test using a simulated canal with a newly developed method that allows the application of constant fatigue load conditions. Materials and Methods: ProFile and K3 files of #25/.06, #30/.06, and #40/.04 were selected. Two types of testing devices were built to test their fatigue performance. The first (conventional) device prescribed curvature inside a simulated canal (C-test), the second new device exerted a constant load (L-test) whilst allowing any resulting curvature. Ten new instruments of each size and brand were tested with each device. The files were rotated until fracture and the number of cycles to failure (NCF) was determined. The NCF were subjected to one-way ANOVA and Duncan's post-hoc test for each method. Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was computed to examine any association between methods. Results: Spearman's rank correlation coefficient (${\rho}$ = -0.905) showed a significant negative correlation between methods. Groups with significant difference after the L-test divided into 4 clusters, whilst the C-test gave just 2 clusters. From the L-test, considering the negative correlation of NCF, K3 gave a significantly lower fatigue resistance than ProFile as in the C-test. K3 #30/.06 showed a lower fatigue resistance than K3 #25/.06, which was not found by the C-test. Variation in fatigue test methodology resulted in different cyclic fatigue resistance rankings for various NiTi files. Conclusions: The new methodology standardized the load during fatigue testing, allowing determination fatigue behavior under constant load conditions.
