  • It is a common practice in many research areas that multiple range tests for a between subject factor such as Tukey are applied to a within subject factor in a repeated measures design. Tukey procedure, however, sometimes detects no pairs with different means even when the hypothesis of all equal level means is rejected. This study attempts to provide a rationale for the proposition that Tukey is inappropriate post hoc procedure for a within subject factor in which the observations are correlated. We introduce two multiple range tests, Bonferroni and Scheffe, for a within subject factor and show that Bonferroni is more appropriate than Scheffe for pairwise multiple comparisons. Subsequent simulation study indicates that Tukey has significantly less power than Bonferroni in detecting actual difference between means of some pairs when the observations of a within subject factor are highly correlated.

  • In the analysis of categorical data subject to misclassification errors, the observed cell proportions are adjusted by a misclassification probabilities and estimates of variances are adjusted accordingly. In this case, it is important to determine the extent to which misclassification probabilities are homogeneous within a population. This paper considers methods to evaluate the power of chi-squared tests for homogeneity with complex survey data subject to misclassification errors. Two cases are considered: adjustment with homogeneous misclassification probabilities; adjustment with heterogeneous misclassification probabilities. To estimate misclassification probabilities, logistic regression method is considered.

  • This paper proposes an algorithm for EEG pattern classification using the Multi-template method, which is a kind of speaker adaptation method for speech signal processing. 10-channel EEG signals are collected in various environments. The linear prediction coefficients of the EEGs are extracted as the feature parameter of human sensibility. The human sensibility classification algorithm is developed using neural networks. Using EEGs of comfortable or uncomfortable seats, the proposed algorithm showed about 75% of classification performance in subject-independent test. In the tests using EEG signals according to room temperature and humidity variations, the proposed algorithm showed good performance in tracking of pleasantness changes and the subject-independent tests produced similar performances with subject-dependent ones.

  • This study investigated the distribution of subject properties in Korean. Based on the previous studies on so-called 'subjecthood diagnostics' in Korean Multiple Subject Constructions (MSCs), the current study investigates how different subject properties are distributed in single subject constructions (Non-MSCs) and MSCs. Focusing on two distinct subject properties - obligatory control (OC) of PRO and coordinated deletion (CD) - an empirical syntactic experiment was designed to test how these two subjecthood diagnostics behave in the Non-MSC and MSC environments. Seventy Korean native speakers were tested over magnitude estimation task, composed of 80 Korean sentences representing different subject properties in single or multiple subject constructions. Overall results showed (i) both OC and CD can be used as subjecthood diagnostic tests in the Non-MSC environments, but (ii) that only OC can be used as a subjecthood diagnostic test in the MSC environments.

  • Successive and simultaneous sudden death tests are compared with the complete and Type II censored samples in terms of expected test duration and Total Time on Test(TTT) subject to the same number of failures in order to maintain the equal statistical precision under Weibull lifetime distribution with known shape parameter. Also, two sudden death tests under a proposed cost model are discussed and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the use of the proposed cost model.

  • This paper aims at showing firstly, that the parameterized Universal Grammar is also accessible in second language acquisition based on the data found in the English Agreement acquisition by Korean speakers and secondly, that the theoretical claim that the acquisition of Agreement is related to the Subject Drop phenomenon can be supported by the second language acquisition data. The functional category AGRP which is crucial here can be parameterized according to its features with Korean of - Agr and English of + Agr. Two groups of 40 each were tested and the result shows that the parameter resetting is possible in terms of the Agreement feature. In addition to Agreement test, three more tests for the distribution of Subject Drop, Subject Raising and NPI (Negative Polarity Items) were conducted in order to find the correlation among those grammatical phenomena. The result is that the acquisition of Agreement and the Subject Drop possibility are correlated but that they are not related to the obligatory Subject Raising process. Finally, NPI distribution test which is supposedly related to the Subject Raising turned out to carry little information since the average grades from both groups were very low.

  • As the importance of informatics education has been accentuated all around the world, Japan is considering adopting 'informatics' as a subject in the university entrance examination from 2020. Under these circumstances, Informatics university entrance research group in Japan has annually conducted an 'informatics' nationwide mock test since 2013 to prepare for the time when 'informatics' is adopted as a subject in the university entrance exam and has accumulated the data which help understand the informatics education level of high school students and its trend. This study thus provided the Korean high school students with the questions which are the same as those from the informatics nationwide mock tests conducted in Japan so far in order to identify the education level of informatics among Korean and Japanese students. Overall mean scores and mean scores in each subject of Korean and Japanese students in the 2015 informatics nationwide mock tests were compared and analyzed and the gender analysis was conducted. These results will be expected to suggest the direction for the future informatics education such as adopting 'informatics' as a subject in the university entrance exam in order to be a compulsory subject in the high school curriculum that can ensure the required skills in society.

  • A scheduling policy or a schedulability test is defined to be sustainable if any task system determined to be schedulable remains so if it behaves "better" than mandated by its system specifications. We provide a formal definition of sustainability, and subject the concept to systematic analysis in the context of the uniprocessor scheduling of periodic and sporadic task systems. We argue that it is, in general, preferable engineering practice to use sustainable tests if possible, and classify common uniprocessor schedulability tests according to whether they are sustainable or not.

  • The subject of assessing whether a data set is from a specific distribution has received a good deal of attention. This topic is critically important for uniform distributions. Several parametric tests are compared. These tests also can be used in testing randomness of a sample. Anderson-Darling $A^2$ statistic is found to be most powerful.

  • The purpose of this study is (1)to develop the teaching plan based on Cooperative Learning approach and (2)to investigate the effect of students'Interest on Subject matter and Teaching method and Attitudes to others of the area of Foreign food in Home Economics class. Among those various types of Cooperative Learning's models, this study adopted 'Learning Together'developed by Johnsons. To investigate these purpose, subject matter were analyzed and reconstructed for Cooperative Learning. The tests were developed to evaluate the interest on the Subject matter and teaching methods, and the attitude to others of the students. 108 femail high school students were divided into two groups with 54 students-traditional learning condition, Cooperative Learning condition-and had a 5 session. The subject of the class was Foreign food including Western, Chinese, and Japanes food. Before and after the class, students were tested. The statistical methods used for the study methods used for the study were t-test. The research findings are as follows : When the students in the Cooperative Learning classes were compared before and after the test, (1)Interest on Subject matter were improved considerably(p〈.001) (2)Interest on Teaching methods were improved considerably(p〈.05) (3)Attitude to Others were improved considerably(p〈.001) Therefore when the teaching-learning model based on Cooperative Liarning was used in Home Economics class, their interest on the subject and teaching methods and attitude to others were improved.
