In simple and multiple regression, there is a difference in the meaning of regression coefficients, and not only are the estimates of regression coefficients different, but they also have different signs. Understanding the relative contribution of explanatory variables in a regression model is an important part of regression analysis. In a standardized regression model, the regression coefficient can be interpreted as the change in the response variable with respect to the standard deviation when the explanatory variable increases by the standard deviation in a situation where the values of the explanatory variables other than the corresponding explanatory variable are fixed. However, the size of the standardized regression coefficient is not a proper measure of the relative importance of each explanatory variable. In this paper, the estimator of the regression coefficient in multiple regression is expressed as a function of the correlation coefficient and the coefficient of determination. Furthermore, it is considered in terms of the effect of an additional explanatory variable and additional increase in the coefficient of determination. We also explore the relationship between estimates of regression coefficients and correlation coefficients in various plots. These results are specifically applied when there are two explanatory variables.

Purpose: Composite tissue allotransplantation has emerged as a new therapeutic modality to reconstruct major tissue defects of the head, neck and extremities. A questionnaire-based instrument, the Louisville Instrument for Transplantation (LIFT), has been developed to objectively assess the risk-versus-benefit ratio for composite tissue allotransplantation procedures. The objective of this study is to assess if the LIFT is a useful, reliable and valid tool to apply to the Korean population. Methods: Seventy-three medical students and 60 lay public completed the LIFT questionnaire (translated to Korean) over the period from February 2010 to April 2010. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha. Test-retest reliability was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Construct validity was assessed by comparing Pearson's correlation coefficients between perceived improvements in quality of life and responses to risk tolerance questions concerning organ transplants. Results: Measurements of the test-retest reliability showed that Pearson's correlation coefficients ranged from 0.241 to 0.902, and Cronbach's alphas ranged from 0.52 to 0.80 for medical students and from 0.63 to 0.83 for the lay public. Pearson's correlation coefficients showed significant correlations between perceived improvements in quality of life and responses to risk tolerance questions concerning organ transplants. Hand transplant showed a significant correlation in medical students. Foot, hand, two hands, larynx, partial face transplants showed significant correlations for the lay public. Conclusion: The applicability of the LIFT to the Korean population was found to be reliable and valid. The LIFT may serve as a useful tool for clinical application in the Korean population.

This study was conducted to assess the impact of growing condition variables on alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) productivity. A total of 197 alfalfa yield results were acquired from the alfalfa field trials conducted by the South Korean National Agricultural Cooperative Federation or Rural Development Administration between 1983 and 2008. The corresponding climate and soil data were collected from the database of the Korean Meteorological Administration. Twenty-three growing condition variables were developed as explaining variables for alfalfa forage biomass production. Among them, twelve variables were chosen based on the significance of the partial-correlation coefficients or potential agricultural values. The selected partial correlation coefficients between the variables and alfalfa forage biomass ranged from -0.021 to 0.696. The influence of the selected twelve variables on yearly alfalfa production was summarized into three dominant factors through factor analysis. Along with the accumulated temperature variables, the loading scores of the daily mean temperature higher than 25℃ were over 0.88 in factor 1. The sunshine duration at temperature between 0℃-25℃ was 0.939 in factor 2. Precipitation days were 0.82, which was the greatest in factor 3. Stepwise regression applied with the three dominant factors resulted in the coefficients of factors 1, 2, and 3 for 0.633, 0.485, and 0.115, respectively, and the R-square of the model was 0.602. The environmental conditions limiting alfalfa growth, such as daily temperature higher than 25℃ or daily mean temperature affected annual alfalfa production most substantially among the growing condition variables. Therefore, future cultivar selection should consider the capability of alfalfa to be tolerant to extreme summer weather along with biomass production potential.

In this study, canonical correlation analysis (CCA) was applied to estimate the relationship between three different sexual maturity traits (X set: days to first egg (DFE), weight of the first egg (WFE), body weight at first egg (BWFE)) and level of nutrient intake (Y set: energy (EI) and protein intake (PI)) or the egg production traits at two different periods (Z set: number of egg (NE1 and NET) and weight of egg (WE1 and WET) from 22 to 25 (Wfirst) and 22 to 33 wk of age (Wall), respectively), which were measured from 64 egg-type pullets (Isa Brown) manipulated for time of access to energy and protein sources to onset of egg production. Partial CCA (PCCA) was used to eliminate the contribution of differences in the levels of nutrient intake to canonical variables for X and Z sets at the first production period. Estimated canonical correlation coefficients between X set and Y set (0.429, p = 0.042), X set and Z set (0.390, p = 0.007 for Wfirst) and within Z set (between Wfirst and Wall; 0.780, p<0.001), and partial canonical correlation coefficient between X set and Z set (0.415, p = 0.009) were significant. Canonical weights and loadings from CCA indicated that the BWFE had the largest contribution compared to the DFE and WFE to variation of egg number produced at two different periods. The results from PCCA indicated that the contribution of PI and EI to the degree of the correlation between canonical variables for X and Z sets were unfavourable. In conclusion, the effect of body weight at sexual maturity upon the availability of nutrients can have a higher contribution to variation of egg production in pullets if the contribution of differences in nutrient intakes to onset of egg production were eliminated.

In this paper, a watermark technique for identifying friendly and foe is proposed during communication. The speech signal is processed in several stages. First, speech signal is partitioned into small time frames and the frames are transformed into frequency domain using DFT(Discrete Frequency Transform). The DFT coefficients are quantized and the watermark signal is embedded into the quantized DFT coefficients. At the destination channel quantization errors of received signal are regarded as the watermark signal. Identification of friendly and foe are done by correlating the detected watermark and the original watermark. As in most other watermark techniques, this method has a trade off between noise robustness and quality. However, this is solved by a partial quantization and a noise level dependent quantization step. Simulation results in the various noisy environments show that the proposed method is reliable for identification between friendly and foe.

In this paper, a new kind of dual tone multifrequency receiver(DTMFR) is proposed, in which detection is made in terms of the partial correlation(PARCOR) coefficients for efficient DTMF signal detection against both temporary decoding errors by crosstalks possibly coming from adjoint telephone lines during transmission and so-called digit simulation by background voice or noise signals during interdigit period. A simulation study on the behaviour of PARCOR coefficients for tone signals and non-signals has been performed in order to provide the rationale on the feasibility of the proposed DTMFR algorithm. Based upon simulation results, a more refined detection strategy as an example is presented and explained together with the corresponding decision logic.

The purpose of this study was to examine the difference in measurements of passive range of motion(PROM) of shoulder when motions are assessed in sitting, as compared with supine and the intratester and intertester reliabilities for goniometric measurements of shoulder PROM using two different sizes of goniometers. * A thesis submitted to the committee of Graduate School of Public Health, Chungnam National University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Public Health conferred in February 2001. Fifty one adult male subjects were measured three times, in random order, for the six shoulder motions(flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, external rotation, and internal rotation) while sitting and supine by three different therapists. Data were analyzed to determine intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and paired "t" values between trials for measurements with different goniometer and betweensitting and supine trials. There was statistical difference in measurement of shoulder motion between supine and sitting position and no statistical difference in goniometric type. The intratester intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) for all motions ranged from .87 to .98. The ICCs for the intertester reliability of PROM measurements of all shoulder motion ranged from .26 to .89. These findings suggest that reliable measures of PROM of the shoulder can be obtained using standard goniometry in a proper position.
