The meta-analysis has become a widely used tool for many applications in bioinformatics, including genome-wide association studies. A commonly used approach for meta-analysis is the fixed effects model approach, for which there are two popular methods: the inverse variance-weighted average method and weighted sum of z-scores method. Although previous studies have shown that the two methods perform similarly, their characteristics and their relationship have not been thoroughly investigated. In this paper, we investigate the optimal characteristics of the two methods and show the connection between the two methods. We demonstrate that the each method is optimized for a unique goal, which gives us insight into the optimal weights for the weighted sum of z-scores method. We examine the connection between the two methods both analytically and empirically and show that their resulting statistics become equivalent under certain assumptions. Finally, we apply both methods to the Wellcome Trust Case Control Consortium data and demonstrate that the two methods can give distinct results in certain study designs.

다중반응표면 최적화는 다수의 반응변수(품질특성치)를 최적화하는 입력변수의 조건을 찾는 것을 목적으로 한다. 다중반응표면 최적화를 위해 제안된 가중평균제곱오차(Weighted Mean Squared Error, WMSE) 최소화법은 평균제곱오차의 구성요소인 제곱편차와 분산에 서로 다른 가중치를 부여하는 방법이다. 지금까지 WMSE 최소화법과 관련하여, 개별 반응변수의 WMSE를 구성한 후 이들의 가중합을 최소화하는 가중합 기반 WMSE 최소화법이 제안되었다. 그러나 가중합 기반법은 목적함수 공간에서 볼록하지 않은 구간이 있고 이 구간에서 가장 선호되는 해가 존재할 경우 이 해를 찾아내지 못한다는 한계를 지니고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 가중합 기반법의 한계점을 극복하기 위하여 Tchebycheff Metric 기반 WMSE 최소화법을 제안하고자 한다.

Test colors are halftone dot printed at the rate of 10% halftone dot area by process inksblack, cyan, magenta and yellow ink. Reproduced colors are measured by the weighted-ordinate colorimetric method and the direct colorimetric method. The weighted-ordinate colorimetric method compare favorably with the direct colorimetric method, because the former has good regular changes of tristimuIus values, chromacity coordinates, excitation purities, value functions and has smaller errors of dominant and complementary wavelengths than the latter. All test colors classify with the Munsell renotation.tation.

For an initial value problem, using a weighted average between two adjacent approximates, we propose a simple one-step method based on the Euler method. This method is useful for solving stiff initial value problem, even when the step size is not very small. Moreover, it can be seen that the proposed method with some selected weights results in improved approximation errors.

결측치를 대치하는 여러가지 단일대치법 중에서 다변량 정규성 등의 모수적 모형이 만족되지 않을 때에도 강건성(robustness)을 지니는 k-최근접 이웃 대치법(k-nearest neighbors; KNN)이 널리 활용된다. KNN대치법에서 자료의 국소적 특징을 반영한 적응 최근접 이웃(adaptive nearest neighbors; ANN) 대치법과 k개의 최근접 이웃들 중 극단값이나 이상값이 있는 경우 이들의 영향에 덜 민감한 가중 k-최근접 이웃(weighted KNN; WKNN) 대치법의 장점을 결합한 가중 적응 최근접 이웃(weighted ANN; WANN) 대치법을 제안하였다. 또한 모의실험을 통하여 기존의 방법들과 제안한 방법을 비교하였다.

This paper reports the results of an experimental examination using X-rays to test annealing materials for lapped bearing steel (STB2), to confirm the validity of the weighted averaging analysis method. The distribution behavior for the α_𝜓-sin²𝜓 diagram and the presence or absence of differences in the peak method, half-value breadth method, and centroid method were investigated. When lapping the annealed bearing steel (STB2) material, a residual stress state with a non-directional steep gradient appeared in the surface layer, and it was found that the weighted averaging analysis method was effective. If there is a steep stress gradient, the sin²𝜓 diagram is curved and the diffraction intensity distribution curve becomes asymmetric, resulting in a difference between the peak method, half-value breadth method, and centroid method. This phenomenon was evident when the stress gradient was more than 2~3 kg/mm²/㎛. In this case, if the position of the diffraction line is determined using the centroid method and the weighted averaging analysis method is applied, the stress value on the surface and the stress gradient under the surface can be obtained more accurately. When the stress gradient becomes a problem, since the curvature of the sin²𝜓 diagram appears clearly in the region of sin²𝜓 > 0.5, it is necessary to increase the inclination angle 𝜓 as much as possible. In the case of a lapping layer, a more accurate value can be obtained by considering 𝜎₃ in the weighted averaging analysis method. In an isotropic biaxial residual stress state, the presence or absence of 𝜎₃ can be determined as the presence or absence of strain for sin²𝜓≈0.4.

Privacy vulnerability of social networks is one of the major concerns for social science research and business analysis. Most existing studies which mainly focus on un-weighted network graph, have designed various privacy models similar to k-anonymity to prevent data disclosure of vertex attributes or relationships, but they may be suffered from serious problems of huge information loss and significant modification of key properties of the network structure. Furthermore, there still lacks further considerations of privacy protection for important sensitive edges in weighted social networks. To address this problem, this paper proposes a privacy preserving method to protect sensitive weighted edges. Firstly, the sensitive edges are differentiated from weighted edges according to the edge betweenness centrality, which evaluates the importance of entities in social network. Then, the perturbation operations are used to preserve the privacy of weighted social network by adding some pseudo-edges or modifying specific edge weights, so that the bottleneck problem of information flow can be well resolved in key area of the social network. Experimental results show that the proposed method can not only effectively preserve the sensitive edges with lower computation cost, but also maintain the stability of the network structures. Further, the capability of defending against malicious attacks to important sensitive edges has been greatly improved.

Data from weighted distributions appear, among other situations, when some of the data are missing or are damaged, a case that is important in reliability and life testing. The kernel method for hazard rate estimation is discussed for these data where the basic large sample properties are given. As a by product, the basic properties of the kernel estimate of the distribution function for data from weighted distribution are presented.

A procedure is proposed for determining the initial thickness distribution in oder to produce a specified final thickness distribution for the axisymmetrical superplastic blow forming processes. Weighted parameter is introduced to improve the simple ad $d_traction method and the initial blank thickness distribution is obtained by optimizing the weighted parameter. This method is applied to superplastic free bulging process with the uniform thickness distribution of final shape to confirm its validity. The optimum initial blank thickness distributions is obtained from arbitrary axisymmetrical superplastic blow forming processes such as dome, cone and cylindrical cup forming with die contact. It is concluded that the ad $d_traction method with weighted parameter is an effective method for an optimum blank thickness distribution design.esign.
