This paper showed the difference between the selectivity of gill net by least square method with polynomials in Kitahara's and that by maximum likelihood analysis for Japanese sandfish and Korean flounder. Catch experiments for Japanese sandfish using commercial vessels off the eastern coast of Korea were conducted with six different mesh sizes between October and December 2007 and those for Korean flounder with five different mesh sizes between 2008 and 2009. The mesh size of 50% probability of catch corresponding to biological maturity length of fish was not different between that by least square method and that by maximum likelihood analysis for Japanese sandfish, however, a little different for Korean flounder, that is, those mesh sizes of 50% probability of catch for biological maturity length of Korean flounder were 10.6cm and 10.1cm by least square method and maximum likelihood analysis, respectively.

We present new approach to analysis of velocity data of globular clusters. Maximum likelihood method is applied to get model parameters such as central potential, anisotropy radius, and total mass fractions in each mass class. This method can avoid problems in conventional binning method of chi-square. We utilize three velocity components, one from line of sight radial velocity and two from proper motion data. In our simplified scheme we adopt 3 mass-component model with unseen high mass stars, intermediate visible stars, and low mass dark remnants. Likelihood values are obtained for 124 stars in M13 for various model parameters. Our preferred model shows central potential of W o = 7 and anisotropy radius with 7 core radius. And it suggests non-negligible amount of unseen high mass stars and considerable amount of dark remnants in M13.

This study proposes a new parameter estimation approach for the mixture normal distribution. The developed model estimates parameters of the mixture normal distribution by maximizing the log likelihood function using a meta-heuristic algorithm-genetic algorithm (GA). To verify the performance of the developed model, simulation experiments and practical applications are implemented. From the results of experiments and practical applications, the developed model presents some advantages, such as (1) the proposed model more accurately estimates the parameters even with small sample sizes compared to the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm; (2) not diverging in all application; and (3) showing smaller root mean squared error and larger log likelihood than those of the EM algorithm. We conclude that the proposed model is a good alternative in estimating the parameters of the mixture normal distribution for kutotic and bimodal hydrometeorological data.

본 논문에서는 소형 해상 부유체의 위기 평가를 위한 확률기반 위기평가기법(PET)에서 표본 데이터에 최적인 누적분포함수(CDF) 추정에 관한 평가절차와 실험결과를 기술하였다. CDF는 PET에서 부유체의 위기수준을 평가하기 위한 위기허용기준의 참조 값을 제공하기 위한 것으로, 부유체 모델의 롤(Roll), 피치(pitch), 히브(Heave) 등의 운동응답함수에 대한 표본 데이터에서 추정할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 여덟가지 정형화된 분포함수와 최대우도추정기법을 적용하여 표본 데이터에 대해서 최대우도를 갖는 CDF들을 평가하였다. 분포함수들의 적합도 검정 실험을 통해서, 베타 분포가 롤과 피치 표본 데이터에 대해서 평균 확률오차 δ(0≤δ≤1.0)가 가장 작은 0.024와 0.022로 최적임을 나타냈고, 히브 표본 데이터에 대해서는 감마 분포가 δ가 가장 작은 0.027로 최적임을 나타냈다. 본 연구에서 제안한 방법은 표본 데이터의 최적분포 추정을 위한 다양한 분야에 적용 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

본 연구에서는 generalized logistic(GL) 분포의 최우도 추정량(maximum likelihood estimate)에 대한 불확실성 추정을 위하여 사용되는 관측정보행렬(observed information matrix)과 Fisher 정보행렬(Fisher information matrix)의 정확도를 비교해 보고자 하였다. 타 분포형에 대한 기존의 연구결과에서 표본의 크기가 클 경우 매개변수 추정시 관측정보행렬이 동시에 추정되어 계산시간
