This paper focuses on the problem of detecting multiple leverage points and outliers in multivariate linear models. It is well known that he identification of these points is affected by masking and swamping effects. To identify them, Rousseeuw(1985) used robust estimators of MVE(Minimum Volume Ellipsoids), which have the breakdown point of 50% approximately. And Rousseeuw and van Zomeren(1990) suggested the robust distance based on MVE, however, of which the computation is extremely difficult when the number of observations n is large. In this study, e propose a new algorithm to reduce the computational difficulty of MVE. The proposed method is powerful in identifying multiple leverage points and outlies and also effective in reducing the computational difficulty of MVE.

An algorithm is proposed to identify multiple outliers in linear regression. It is based on the clustering of residuals from the least median of squares estimation. A cut-height criterion for the hierarchical cluster tree is suggested, which yields the optimal clustering of the regression outliers. Comparisons of the effectiveness of the procedures are performed on the basis of the classic data and artificial data sets, and it is shown that the proposed algorithm is superior to the one that is based on the least squares estimation. In particular, the algorithm deals very well with the masking and swamping effects while the other does not.

Observations identified as potential outliers are usually tested for real outliers; however, some outlier detection methods skip a formal test or perform a test using simulated p-values. We introduce test procedures for outliers by testing subsets of potential outliers rather than by testing individual observations of potential outliers to avoid masking or swamping effects. Examples to illustrate methods and a Monte Carlo study to compare the power of the various methods are presented.

In this paper, we have investigated the effects of geographic information on the performance of multiple ground target tracking system using multiple sensors. Geographic information is utilized in two cases: association and masking target measurement. Virtually no improvement is observed to the overall performance of tracking system when we applied mobility to the association procedure. Masking target measurement based on mobility produces desirable result that the number of false tracks is reduced. Since geographic information can be regarded as an additional sensor in sensor fusion paradigm, careful usage is required.

This study was performed to develop natural spices using Cheongung (Cnidium officinale) which is one of the Korean medicinal plants, Cnidium of officinale is a perennial plant of the Umbelliferae family and is widely distributed in Korea. The overall acceptances of flavor and color, and the masking effects on meaty and fishy flavor of Cnidium officinale were investigated by sensory evaluation. The overall acceptances of fresh Cnidium officinale were the highest, followed by freeze dried and hot air dried samples. The meaty and fishy flavor of cooked pork and fish were significantly reduced by the addition of fresh, hot air dried and freeze dried Cnidium officinale. Cnidium officinale showed similar or higher masking effects on meaty and fishy flavor compared with black pepper.

Considering the human visual masking property, a modified relationship between the activity function and the visibility threshold is developed. This leads to a novel objective appraisal method for blocking effects in a lossy subimage coding by virtue of the human visual sensitivity. The appraisal criterion is examined using a series of reconstructed images that are DCT-coded at various bit rates. Experimental results show that the presented blocking effect measure well agrees with the subjective ranking.

The effects of some sodium phosphates as auxiliary agents were studied on the blockade of hardness for silk degumming. In this work, four kinds of sodium phosphates were tested and the results were obtained through masking effects of metallic ions, difference of pH value and boil-off ratio. The degumming of calcium ingredient was analyzed by means of atomic absorption spectrophotometer and degumming test of cocoon shell was performed in the presence of calcium ingredient and sodium phosphates added to soap solution. In the view of the effects of sodium phosphates on calcium hardness, tetrasodium pyrophosphate(TSPP) and sodium phosphate dibasic(SPD) masked calcium ions more than sodium phosphate monobasic(SPM) and sodium hexametaphosphate(SHP). SHP and TSPP have excellent abilities of masking ferrous ions. The pH values of TSPP solution is higher than others, but lower than soap solution. The pH values were differently measured one another among the sodium phosphates but the boil-off ratio was increased in case of sodium phosphate with high pH value.

A linear regression method is commonly used to analyze data because of its simplicity and applicability; however, it is well known that data may contain some outliers and influential cases that may have a harmful effect on a statistical analysis. Thus detection and examination of outliers or influential cases are important parts of data analysis. In detecting multiple outliers, masking effects usually occur and make it difficult to identify the true outliers. We propose to use dynamic plots as a method resistant to masking effect. The procedure using dynamic plots is useful to find appropriate basic sets with which a dependent outliers detection method start and detect a true outliers set. Examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the suggested idea.

Most grid sorting has been used to sort out flatfish in shrimp fisheries, while double grid systems have been tested to separate smaller shrimp. The escape of juvenile red seabream through separating panels made with steel grids or large mesh tested for masking effects in a two-species system. Fish behavior was observed in a circulating water tank. The escape rate was 20% greater with the separating codends than with the normal codend in the single-species experiments. The rates in the two-species experiments were 30% or 20% greater than the single-species rates for the normal or separating codends, respectively. The seabream retention rates in the grid separator codend decreased as rockfish retention increased, possibly due to a threat effect. Conversely, the retention rate of both species increased concurrently in the net separator, possibly due to a masking effect. The escape rates of juvenile red seabream varied by compartment in the mesh separating codend. These results suggest that grid separating codends can be used in the field as towed fishing gear to reduce juvenile catch.

GNSS signal is vulnerable to jamming signal because of well-known signal structure and weak signal power. For these reasons, the need for analysis of jamming effects and anti-jamming techniques of is increasing. In this paper, a GNSS signal generator is designed which includes a radio wave propagation model for six kind of tactical environments and a body masking model for the reception environment of a vehicle. The radio wave propagation model for downtown, rural, forest, coastline, waste land and snow or ice area is designed using two-ray model. The body masking model is designed the effect which the antenna is affected by the reception environment of a vehicle and radiation pattern from a user configuration. The performance of generated signals from the GNSS signal generator considering reception environment of a vehicle is evaluated by a commercial GPS L1 receiver(NordNav) in normal and jamming environment. Also, the generated GNSS signal is compared to a commercial GPS L1 H/W based RF signal generator(STR4500). The results show that the designed GNSS signal generator in a normal environment compared to the same navigation performance. In jamming environment, it is shown that the body masking effect and GNSS signal acquisition and tracking loss in compliance with the jamming signal are precisely working in the reception environment of a vehicle.
