Linear and non-linear regressions were used to derive the calibration function for the measurement of roxithromycin plasma concentration. Their results were compared with weighted least squares regression by usual weight factors. In this paper the performance of a non-linear calibration equation with the capacity to account empirically for the curvature, y = ax$^{b}$ + c (b $\neq$ 1) is compared with the commonly used linear equation, y = ax + b, as well as the quadratic equation, y = ax$^{2}$+ bx + c. In the calibration curve (range of 0.01 to 10 ${\mu}g/mL$) of roxithromycin, both heteroscedasticity and nonlinearity were present therefore linear least squares regression methods could result in large errors in the determination of roxithromycin concentration. By the non-linear and weighted least squares regression, the accuracy of the analytical method was improved at the lower end of the calibration curve. This study suggests that the non-linear calibration equation should be considered when a curve is required to be fitted to low dose calibration data which exhibit slight curvature.

Growth curves including Bass, Logistic and Gompertz functions are widely used in forecasting the market demand. Nonlinear least square method is often adopted for estimating the model parameters but it is difficult to set up the starting value for each parameter. If a wrong starting point is selected, the result may lead to erroneous forecasts. This paper proposes a method of selecting starting values for model parameters in estimating some growth curves by nonlinear least square method through grid search and transformation into linear regression model. Resealing the market data using the national economic index makes it possible to figure out the range of parameters and to utilize the grid search method. Application to some real data is also included, where the performance of our method is demonstrated.

Fuzzy linear regression model has been widely studied with many successful applications but there have been only a few studies on the fuzzy regression model with monotonic response function as a generalization of the linear response function. In this paper, we propose the fuzzy regression model with the monotonic response function and the algorithm to construct the proposed model by using ${\alpha}-level$ set of fuzzy number and the resolution identity theorem. To estimate parameters of the proposed model, the least squares (LS) method and the least absolute deviation (LAD) method have been used in this paper. In addition, to evaluate the performance of the proposed model, two performance measures of goodness of fit are introduced. The numerical examples indicate that the fuzzy regression model with the monotonic response function is preferable to the fuzzy linear regression model when the fuzzy data represent the non-linear pattern.

본 논문에서는 시장점유율을 추정할 때 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계를 적용하여 보통최소제곱과 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계의 성능을 비교하고자 한다. 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계는 커널 함수를 사용함으로 고차원의 특징 공간에서 선형회귀로 재구성함으로 비선형 회귀문제까지도 해결할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그래서 본 논문에서는 비모수 기법인 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계를 이용하여 시장점유율 모형을 추정하고자 한다. 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계를 기반으로 한 모형 추정은 시장점유율 유인모형을 해결하기 위한 좋은 대안이 된다. 최소제곱 서포트벡터기계의 성능을 평가하기 위해 비교 실험에서는 한국 자동차 시장에서 차량 판매량을 이용하여 브랜드별 시장점유율 모형을 추정하였다.

The Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) based seismic fragility analysis (SFA) approach allows defining more realistic relationship between failure probability and seismic intensity. However, the approach requires simulating large number of nonlinear dynamic analyses of structure for reliable estimate of fragility. It makes the approach computationally challenging. The response surface method (RSM) based metamodeling approach which replaces computationally involve complex mechanical model of a structure is found to be a viable alternative in this regard. An adaptive moving least squares method (MLSM) based RSM in the MCS framework is explored in the present study for efficient SFA of existing structures. In doing so, the repetition of seismic intensity for complete generation of fragility curve is avoided by including this as one of the predictors in the response estimate model. The proposed procedure is elucidated by considering a non-linear SDOF system and an existing reinforced concrete frame considered to be located in the Guwahati City of the Northeast region of India. The fragility results are obtained by the usual least squares based and the proposed MLSM based RSM and compared with that of obtained by the direct MCS technique to study the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

본 연구에서는 해저의 반사면이나 흡음재와 같이 주파수에 따라 다른 특성을 가지는 매체를 수치적으로 모델링하였다. 기존의 흡음재 해석 등가회로 모델에 용량성 성분을 부가하기 위해 Debye polarization 기법을 적용하여 흡음재의 모델링을 하였다. 이 모델의 파라미터를 추정하기 위해 폴리우레탄이라는 흡음재의 흡음 주파수 특성을 이용하였다. 파라미터의 추정에는 non-linear least squares라는 비선형 최적화 기법을 사용하였다. 먼저 두께 25 mm의 폴리우레탄의 흡음재의 파라미터를 추정하였으며, 이 파라미터를 이용해 50 mm의 폴리우레탄의 특성을 모델링하는 것이 가능하였다. 이를 바탕으로 흡음재의 주파수에 따른 흡음 특성을 하나의 간단한 모델로 모델링하는 것이 가능함을 보였다.

This paper deals with wind fragility and risk analysis of high rise buildings subjected to stochastic wind load. Conventionally, such problems are dealt in full Monte Carlo Simulation framework, which requires extensive computational time. Thus, to make the procedure computationally efficient, application of metamodelling technique in fragility analysis is explored in the present study. Since, accuracy by the conventional Least Squares Method (LSM) based metamodelling is often challenged, an efficient Moving Least Squares Method based adaptive metamodelling technique is proposed for wind fragility analysis. In doing so, artificial time history of wind load is generated by three wind field models: i.e., a simple one based on alongwind component of wind speed; a more detailed one considering coherence and wind directionality effect, and a third one considering nonstationary effect of mean wind. The results show that the proposed approach is more accurate than the conventional LSM based metamodelling approach when compared to full simulation approach as reference. At the same time, the proposed approach drastically reduces computational time in comparison to the full simulation approach. The results by the three wind field models are compared. The importance of non-linear structural analysis in fragility evaluation has been also demonstrated.

The non-linear least squares model(NLSM) has long been the standard technique used by hydrologists for constructing rating curves. The reasons for its adaptation are vague, and its appropriateness as a method of describing discharge measurement uncertainty has not been well investigated. It is shown in this paper that the classical method of NLSM can model only a very limited class of variance heterogeneity. Furthermore, this lack of flexibility often leads to unaccounted heteroscedasticity, resulting in dubious values for the rating curve parameters and estimated discharge. By introducing a heteroscedastic maximum likelihood model(HMLM), the variance heterogeneity is treated more generally. The maximum likelihood model stabilises the variance better than the NLSM approach, and thus is a more robust and appropriate way to fit a rating curve to a set of discharge measurements.

In this paper, an iterative array shape estimation technique is presented, which is based on the use of the least squares polynomial fitting to the data from heading sensors. The estimated polynomial shape model is then used for calculating the hydrophone positions on the assumption that the arc distances between sensors are constant. In order to verify the applicability of the proposed algorithm, numerical simulations are performed using two types of non-linear array shapes. In addition the noise effects of heading sensors on the array shape estimation results and the performance of beamformer are also investigated.

Growth curves including Logistic and Gompertz functions are widely used in forecasting the market demand. To estimated the parameters of those functions, we use the non-linear least square method. However, it is difficult to set up the starting points for each parameter. If a wrong starting point is selected, the result reveals the local optimum or does not converge to a certain value. The purpose of this paper is to resolve the problem of selecting a starting point. Especially, rescaling the market data using the national economic index make it possible to figure out the range of parameters and to utilize the grid search method. Applications to some real data are also included.
