  • This paper presents a system for medical statistical analysis that helps medical professionals analyze clinical data more easily and accurately. It is able to recommend proper methods according to the distribution of sample data, and provides guide maps composed of icons for the understanding of the process of analysis. Besides general statistical analysis, it includes commonly-used statistical methods for medical fields, such as survival analysis and methods for repetitive measurements. The results of analysis are interactively displayed by 3D glyph-based visualization with uncertainty.

  • When an appropriate model is fitted to explain a certain categorical data, outlying cell detection plays very important role to reduce the lack of fit. There exist many statistical methods to identify outlying cells in contingency table. In this paper, correspondence analysis is applied to identify one or two outlying cells. When corresponding relationships between categories of the row and columns are explored, we find that outlying cells could be identified via the correspondence analysis map.

  • This study was carried out to suggest the best statistical test to analyze the trend in monthly water quality data. Traditional parametric tests such as t-test and regression analysis are based on the assumption that the underlying population has a normal distribution and regression analysis additionally assumes that residual errors are independent. Analyzing 9-years monthly COD data collected at Paldang in Han River, the underlying population was found to be neither normal nor independent. Therefore parametric tests are invalid for trend detection. Four Kinds of nonparametric statistical tests, such as Run Test, Daniel test, Mann-Kendall test, and Time Series Residual Analysis were applied to analyze the trend in the COD data, Daniel test and Mann-Kendall test indicated upward trend in COD data. The best nonparametric test was suggested to be Daniel test, which is simple in computation and easy to understand the intuitive meaning.

  • It is well known that graphical display is critical to data analysis. A lot of research for data visualization has been done, so many effective graphical tools are now available. With the proper use of these graphical tools, we can penetrate the complex structure of data set easily. To enjoy the benefit of the powerful graphical display, the choice of the statistical software is very crucial. R is a popular open source software tool for statistical analysis and graphics, and can provide the very powerful graphics facilities. Moreover, many researchers believe that R is the best software for statistical graphics. In this paper, we would like to discuss what we teach and how we teach in statistical graphics course using R.

  • Information on the distribution of the basic random variable is essential for the accurate analysis of structural reliability. The usual method for determining the distributions is to fit a candidate distribution to the histogram of available statistical data of the variable and perform approximate goodness-of-fit tests. Generally, such candidate distribution would have parameters that may be evaluated from the statistical moments of the statistical data. In the present paper, a cubic normal distribution, whose parameters are determined using the first four moments of available sample data, is investigated. A parameter table based on the first four moments, which simplifies parameter estimation, is given. The simplicity, generality, flexibility and advantages of this distribution in statistical data analysis and its significance in structural reliability evaluation are discussed. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate these advantages.

  • We propose a novel hierarchical clustering for distribution valued dissimilarities. Analysis of large and complex data has attracted significant interest. Symbolic Data Analysis (SDA) was proposed by Diday in 1980's, which provides a new framework for statistical analysis. In SDA, we analyze an object with internal variation, including an interval, a histogram and a distribution, called a symbolic object. In the study, we focus on a cluster analysis for distribution valued dissimilarities, one of the symbolic objects. A hierarchical clustering has two steps in general: find out step and update step. In the find out step, we find the nearest pair of clusters. We extend it for distribution valued dissimilarities, introducing a measure on their order relations. In the update step, dissimilarities between clusters are redefined by mixture of distributions with a mixing ratio. We show an actual example of the proposed method and a simulation study.

  • In this paper, we apply cluster analysis to "Okayama parking data" that is one of the spatial point patterns data that includes locations and the fare structure of car parking space in Okayama central area. This study classifies the characteristics of small areas through Okayama parking data as well as visualizes the results of the cluster analysis. We develop web applications that connect the results of a cluster analysis and overlay objects including points of balloons and rectangles of small areas over a map of Okayama central area.

  • Statistical analysis provides information that can be applied to draw final decisions in many fields. However, statistical analysis program for PC (personal computer) is yet restricted by time and space. To minimize this issue, a server based PC statistic analysis program using internet in addition to web based system allowing statistical analysis have been continually developed. However, the current web based analysis system is limited to the data that is saved on the server. Data that is modified or newly inserted must go through a server administrator before its use in analysis. In order to solve this problem, we have developed a web based system using HTML, java, JSP scripts to incorporate dynamic data without much restriction.

  • Maintaining adequate chlorine residual is crucial in water treatment facilities, Treatment technique, newly promulgated regulation, requires sufficient disinfection in order to control more resistant microorganisms such as Viruses and Giardia lamblia. Each water treatment plant should report various water qualities including chlorine residual and disinfection by-products, thus plenty of data has been generated. Even though statistical analysis using these data are forced to investigate the status and effect of water qualities in water facilities very few researches have been performed in korea. This study performed statistical analysis of chlorine residual during three years in Korean drinking water. The average chlorine residual concentrations were 0.701mg/L, 0.738mg/L, 0.763mg/L in 2002, 2003, 2004, respectively. Monthly variations of chlorine residual was not significant. ANOVA result showed that yearly variance of chlorine residual is different in only less than $5000m^3/day$ of water treatment capacity. The statistical analysis can help government to establish new regulation with scientific basis.

  • Data Mining is used to discover patterns and relationships in huge amounts of data. Researchers in many different fields have shown great interest in data mining analysis. Using the classification technique of data mining analysis, the available model for Receiver Operating Characteristic(ROC) method is presented. We present that this may help analyze result of data mining techniques.
