불투수층은 자연적인 침투를 허용하지 않는 인위적인 토지피복상태로, 도시화율을 추정하거나 도시의 환경변화 정도를 분석하기 위한 척도로 사용되어 왔다. 수문학적인 관점에서 불투수층은 단기 유출현상에 큰 영향을 끼치는 요소로 급속한 도시화로 인해 불투수층의 영향이 더욱 커짐에 따라 불투수층의 추정에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 불투수층을 추정하기 위해 중랑천 유역을 대상지역으로 선정하고, $30m{\times}30m$ 공간해상도의 Landsat-7 ETM+ 영상과 $1m{\times}1m$의 고해상도 위성영상을 구축하였으며 tasselled cap 변환과 식생지수(NDVI) 변환을 수행하여 다양한 예측변수를 고려하였다. 수집된 학습자료에 분류 및 회귀트리를 적용하여 불투수층 추정모델을 구성하였고, 이를 지도화하여 중랑천 유역의 불투수층을 나타냈다.

Impervious surface is an important index for the estimation of urbanization and the assessment of environmental change. In addition, impervious surface influences on short-term rainfall-runoff model during rainy season in hydrology. Recently, the necessity of impervious surface estimation is increased because the effect of impervious surface is increased by rapid urbanization. In this study, impervious surface estimation is performed by using remote sensing image such as Landsat-7 ETM+image with $30m{\times}30m$ spatial resolution and satellite image with $1m{\times}1m$ spatial resolution based on Jungnangcheon basin. A tasseled cap transformation and NDVI(normalized difference vegetation index) transformation are applied to Landsat-7 ETM+ image to collect various predict variables. Moreover, the training data sets are collected by overlaying between Landsat-7 ETM+ image and satellite image, and CART(classification and regression tree) is applied to the training data sets. As a result, impervious surface prediction model is consisted and the impervious surface map is generated for Jungnangcheon basin.

Even by using the data mining, many weaknesses still existed in childhood obesity prediction and it is still far from achieving perfect prediction. This paper studies previous steps involved in childhood obesity prediction using different data mining techniques and proposed hybrid approaches to improve the accuracy of the prediction. The steps taken in this study were a review of childhood obesity, data collections, data cleaning and preprocessing, implementation of the hybrid approach, and evaluation of the proposed approach. The hybrid approach consists of the classification and regression tree, Naïve Bayes, mean value identification and Euclidean distances classification. The results from the evaluation have shown that the proposed approach has 60% sensitivity for childhood obesity prediction and 95% sensitivity for childhood overweight prediction.

The use of the classification and regression tree (CART) methodology was studied in a quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) context on a data set consisting of the binding affinities of 39 imidazobenzodiazepines for the α1 benzodiazepine receptor. The 3-D structures of these compounds were optimized using HyperChem software with semiempirical AM1 optimization method. After optimization a set of 1481 zero-to three-dimentional descriptors was calculated for each molecule in the data set. The response (dependent variable) in the tree model consisted of the binding affinities of drugs. Three descriptors (two topological and one 3D-Morse descriptors) were applied in the final tree structure to describe the binding affinities. The mean relative error percent for the data set is 3.20%, compared with a previous model with mean relative error percent of 6.63%. To evaluate the predictive power of CART cross validation method was also performed.

This paper investigates the timing of Korean spoken in a news-reading speech style in order to improve the naturalness of durations used in Korean speech synthesis. Each segment in a corpus of 671 read sentences was annotated with 69 segmental and prosodic features so that the measured duration could be correlated with the context in which it occurred. A CART model based on the features showed a correlation coefficient of 0.79 with an RMSE (root mean squared prediction error) of 23 ms between actual and predicted durations in reserved test data. These results are comparable with recent published results in Korean and similar to results found in other languages. An analysis of the classification tree shows that phrasal structure has the greatest effect on the segment duration, followed by syllable structure and the manner features of surrounding segments. The place features of surrounding segments only have small effects. The model has application in Korean speech synthesis systems.

Objectives: Determining the work-relatedness of lung cancer developed through occupational exposures is very difficult. Aims of the present study are to develop a decision tree of occupational lung cancer. Methods: 153 cases of lung cancer surveyed by the Occupational Safety and Health Research Institute (OSHRI) from 1992-2007 were included. The target variable was whether the case was approved as work-related lung cancer, and independent variables were age, sex, pack-years of smoking, histological type, type of industry, latency, working period and exposure material in the workplace. The Classification and Regression Test (CART) model was used in searching for predictors of occupational lung cancer. Results: In the CART model, the best predictor was exposure to known lung carcinogens. The second best predictor was 8.6 years or higher latency and the third best predictor was smoking history of less than 11.25 pack-years. The CART model must be used sparingly in deciding the work-relatedness of lung cancer because it is not absolute. Conclusion: We found that exposure to lung carcinogens, latency and smoking history were predictive factors of approval for occupational lung cancer. Further studies for work-relatedness of occupational disease are needed.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore status and level of depression, anxiety and self esteem in Koreansoldiers and identify effective statistical methods that account for and predict their depression. Methods: A crosssectional study design was employed. Data were collected from five hundred thirty four soldiers in Gang-wonProvince and analyzed using stepwise multiple regression and Classification and Regression Tree (CART) withSPSS/WIN 18.0 program. Results: The mean scores for depression, anxiety and self-esteem were 10.7±9.75,38.5±10.16 and 31.7±5.20 respectively. Around one-forth (23.6%) of participants were above mild depressionlevel. Major variables showing significant correlations were anxiety, self-esteem, duration of military service andthe number of ventilation activities. Anxiety, self-esteem and duration of military service accounted for 62.3% ofthe variance in depression according to multiple regression. In CART analysis, predicting factors in the high riskgroup were high level anxiety and uncertain plan after discharge from military. Conclusion: The result of this studyshowed that anxiety was major factor of soldiers’ depression both in multiple regression and CART. Also, CARTapplied in this study was an effective method in screening a risk group of soldiers’ depression

본 연구의 목적은 우리나라 농식품 수출의 상품별 동향과 수출 관문별 특징을 밝히고, 농식품 수출 활성화를 위한 관문의 성장 방향에 대한 시사점을 제시하는 것이다. 지난 17년 동안 우리나라 농식품 수출은 가공식품 중심으로 규모가 확대되었고, 수위 수출 관문으로서 부산항의 위상은 압도적이다. 이러한 사실을 바탕으로 의사결정나무(CART) 분석을 통해 부산항 곡물 가공식품 수출에 영향을 미치는 결정요인을 파악한 결과 지향지의 GDP, 우리나라와 상대국과의 거리, 1인당 GNI가 부산항 가공식품 수출 규모의 평균을 최대한 잘 예측해주는 변수의 집합으로 나타났다. 수출 대상국은 8개의 집단으로 분류되었고, 이는 유형별 특성에 따른 농식품 수출 활성화 전략에 대한 유용한 정보를 제공해준다.

This study suggests a gateway strategy for transporting agri-food exports to expand exports after examining the patterns of Korean agri-food exports by commodities and the role of export gateways. Korean agri-food exports have increased, but processed food exports have increased significantly compared to fresh agricultural products during the last 17 years. More importantly, Busan port is the main agri-food export hub in Korea. Under these circumstances, this paper examines the determinants of processed cereal-based food (HS 19) exports through Busan port using classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. As a result, the main factors that help to predict the real value of Korean exports are the GDP of the export destination countries, their distances from Korea and their GNI per capita. The destinations of Korean agri-food exports are finally classified into eight groups, which reveals the characteristics of clusters and provides useful insights for the strategies to expand agri-food exports.

의학적 진단을 내리기 위해 시행되는 검사의 소요시간(turnaround time, TAT)은 환자대기시간과 직결되며 중요한 의료서비스 평가항목 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 주요 영상의학검사를 대상으로 TAT를 측정하고, 그 결과가 의료기관이 설정한 기준치를 달성하는지 여부를 분석하였다. 분류회귀나무 알고리즘을 이용한 예측 결과, "진료과", "상병", "검사종류", "실시월"이 적기처리 달성에 가장 큰 영향을 주는 요인으로 확인되었다. 본 연구는 의료서비스의 적기처리를 예측하는 모형을 통하여 의료서비스 지연을 사전에 조치할 수 있는 수단을 제공하였다는 데에 큰 의미가 있다.

Turnaround time (called, TAT) for imaging test, which is necessary for making a medical diagnosis, is directly related to the patient's waiting time and it is one of the important performance criteria for medical services. In this paper, we measured the TAT from major imaging tests to see it met the reference point set by the medical institutions. Prediction results from the algorithm of classification regression tree (called, CART) showed "clinics", "diagnosis", "modality", "test month" were identified as main factors for timely processing. This study had a contribution in providing means of prevention of the delay on medical services in advance.
