In this paper, we develop noninformative priors for the log-normal distributions when the parameter of interest is the common mean. We developed Jeffreys' prior, th reference priors and the first order matching priors. It turns out that the reference prior and Jeffreys' prior do not satisfy a first order matching criterion, and Jeffreys' pri the reference prior and the first order matching prior are different. Some simulation study is performed and a real example is given.

Background : Since 2001 the Korean Association of Health Promotion has attempted to establish her own reference valves that can be used in her all fifteen branch laboratories instead of using those adapted from the published data or there commended data by the reagent companies supplied as inserts. However, the previous two reference values derived from the statistics(year 2001 and 2002) were need to adjust to apply to actual practice. Besides there was an unavoidable situation that the reagent has to be changed to other companies in 2002 that creates another statistical problem. Subsequently, the third attempt to derive the reference ranges of tests in KAHP to solve those problems and define common)v acceptable reference ranges was done and and reported here. Methods : Al1 the results performed during January 2, 2003 through September 30, 2003 were collected in Excel tile format. All the data include dthe necessary information such as age and sex. The age was grouped in six; baby(0-3y), children(4-l2y), adolescent(13-l8y), adult(19-S4y), younger elderly (65-79y),old elderly(oyer 80y), with references of statistics in medical informatics and WHO classification. The data were statistically analyzed with SAS 6.04 for-Gaussian distribution as the previous two occasions. None of the tests showed Gaussian distribution. These procedures had been repeated twice or three times after trimming out the results lying outside three standard deviations. Though, all the tests showed non-Gaussian distribution. Subsequently, the reference ranges were defined in the range from the point of lower 2.5% to the point of higher 97.5 %. And in case the lower range could be "0", the reference ranges were defined in the range of 0 to 95%.Results : The reference ranges of most of 56 test items were newly assigned. Also with adaptation of the recommendation of WHO etc. on fasting blood sugar, hemoglobin, cholesterol. Among these there were eight tests that needed reference ranges by the age groups and nine tests by the sex. Conclusions : The third attempt will credit more the reference range of all15 laboratories of Korean Association of Health Promotion, which will be essential part of the better service to the patient and clients to visit KAHP.

This paper mainly describes the wind load assumption of 765kV transmission towers. We analyzed wind velocity data a meteorological observatories to get the wind velocity of 50 years return period by using Gumbel I type extreme value distribution. By multi-correlative regression analysis method, wind velocity at no observation site was obtained. Reference dynamics wind pressure map was obtained from above analysis and the wind pressure was classified as three regio in high temperature season.

In this paper a new defect detection method for flat panel display that does not require any separately prepared reference images and shows robustness against problems with regard to pixel tolerance and nonuniform illumination condition is proposed. In order to perform defect detection under any magnification value of camera, the proposed method automatically obtains the value of pattern interval through an image analysis. Using the information for pattern interval, an advanced PCSR-G method presented in this paper utilizes neighboring patterns as its reference images instead of utilizing any separately prepared reference images. Also this paper proposes a scheme to improve the performance of the conventional PCSR-G method by extracting and applying additional information for pixel tolerance and intensity distribution considering the value of pattern interval. Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed method utilizing pixel tolerance and intensity distribution is superior to that of the conventional method. Also, it is proved that the proposed method that is implemented using parallel technique based on GPGPU can be applied to real system.

In this paper, we discuss the propriety of the various noninformative priors for the Pareto distribution. The reference prior, Jeffreys prior and ad hoc noninformative prior which is used in several literatures will be introduced and showed that which prior gives the proper posterior distribution. The reference prior and Jeffreys prior give a proper posterior distribution, but ad hoc noninformative prior which is proportional to reciprocal of the parameters does not give a proper posterior. To compute survival function, we use the well-known approximation method proposed by Lindley (1980) and Tireney and Kadane (1986). And two methods are compared by simulation. A real data example is given to illustrate our methodology.

본 논문은 maximum a posteriori linear regression (MAPLR) 기반의 고속 화자적응 성능을 개선하기 위하여 사전분포를 추정하는 두 가지 방식을 제안한다. 일반적으로 MAPLR 방식에서 사용되는 변환행렬의 사전분포는 화자독립모델을 구성하는 훈련 화자들로부터 추정되어 모든 화자들에게 동등하게 적용된다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 화자에게 보다 더 적합한 사전분포를 적용하고자 적응 데이터를 이용하여 새로운 화자의 음향특성과 가까운 참조화자 집단을 선택한 후 참조화자 집단으로부터 사전분포를 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 또한, 블록 대각 형태의 변환행렬의 사전분포를 추정하는 경우 사전분포의 평균행렬과 공분산행렬을 동일한 훈련 화자들로부터 얻어진 두 가지 형태의 변환행렬집단으로부터 각각 추정하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법의 성능 평가를 위하여 고립단어 인식실험을 통해 적응 단어의 개수에 따른 단어 인식률을 평가한다. 실험결과, 적응 단어 수가 매우 적을 때 기존의 MAPLR 방식에 비하여 통계적으로 유의미한 성능향상이 얻어짐을 보여준다.

The laser inertial measurement unit is a precision device widely used in rocket navigation system and other equipment, and its quality is directly related to navigation accuracy. In the quality evaluation of laser inertial measurement unit, there is inevitably uncertainty in the index input information. First, the input numerical information is in interval form. Second, the index input grade and the quality evaluation result grade are given according to different national standards. So, it is a key step to transform the interval information input by the index into the data form consistent with the evaluation result grade. In the case of uncertain input, this paper puts forward a method based on probability distribution to solve the problem of asymmetry between the reference grade given by the index and the evaluation result grade when evaluating the quality of laser inertial measurement unit. By mapping the numerical relationship between the designated reference level and the evaluation reference level of the index information under different distributions, the index evidence symmetrical with the evaluation reference level is given. After the uncertain input information is transformed into evidence of interval degree distribution by this method, the information fusion of interval degree distribution evidence is carried out by interval evidential reasoning algorithm, and the evaluation result is obtained by projection covariance matrix adaptive evolution strategy optimization. Taking a five-meter redundant laser inertial measurement unit as an example, the applicability and effectiveness of this method are verified.

In this paper, we propose a new fast algorithm for effective scene change detection. The proposed algorithm exploits Otsu threshold matching technique, which was proposed earlier. In this method, the current and the reference frames are divided into square blocks of particular size. After doing so, the pixel histogram of each block is generated. According to Otsu method, every histogram distribution is assumed to be bimodal, i.e. pixel distribution can be divided into two groups, based on within-group variance value. The pixel value that minimizes the within-group variance is said to be Otsu threshold. After Otsu threshold is found, the same procedure is performed at the reference frame. If the difference between Otsu threshold of a block in the current frame and co-located block in the reference frame is larger than predefined threshold, then a scene change between those two blocks is detected.

In this paper, we introduce the noninformative priors such as the matching priors and the reference priors for the common scale parameter in the Pareto distributions. It turns out that the posterior distribution under the reference priors is not proper, and Jeffreys' prior is not a matching prior. It is shown that the proposed first order prior matches the target coverage probabilities in a frequentist sense through simulation study.

The hydration of cement contributes to the performance characteristics of concrete, such as strength and durability. In order to improve the utilization efficiency of cement and its early properties, the particle size distribution (PSD) of cement varies considerably, and the effects of the particle size distribution of cement on the hydration process should be considered. In order to evaluate effects of PSD separately, experiments testing the isothermal heat generated during the hydration of cements with different particle size distributions but the same chemical composition have been carried out. The measurable hydration depth for cement hydration was proposed and deduced based on the experimental results, and a PSD hydration model was developed in this paper for simulating the effects of particle size distribution on the hydration process of cement. First, a reference hydration rate was derived from the isothermal heat generated by the hydration of ordinary Portland cement. Then, the model was extended to take into account the effect of water-to-cement ratio, hereinafter which was referred to as PSD hydration model. Finally, the PSD hydration model was applied to simulate experiments measuring the isothermal heat generated by the hydration of cement with different particle size distributions at different water-to-cement ratios. This showed that the PSD hydration model had simulated the effects of particle size distribution and water-to-cement ratio on the hydration process of cement with satisfactory accuracy.
