본 연구는 부천시 테크노파크 지역의 대기 중 BTEX 농도의 일변화 특성을 GC-PID 시스템을 이용하여 분석하였다. 이 지역의 BTEX 평균농도는 벤젠, 톨루엔, 에틸벤젠, m,p-자일렌 및 o-자일렌이 각각 2.13 ± 1.11, 15.33 ± 16.03, 1.43 ± 1.64, 2.82 ± 2.75 및 0.50 ± 0.72 ppb로 나타났으며, 톨루엔의 농도가 다른 화합물보다 높은 것으로 분석되었다. 시간적 변화 특성을 살펴보면 벤젠을 제외한 화합물들은 주간에 지속적으로 증가하다가 야간에 조금씩 감소하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 교통수단의 영향을 받고 있는 것으로 판단할 수 있다. 특히 벤젠의 평균 농도는 지역 기준뿐만 아니라 세계보건기구의 권고치 보다도 훨씬 높은 수준을 나타내어 이와 관련된 대책이 필요할 것으로 보인다.

This research carried out to study on the characteristic of daily variation for ambient BTEX in Bucheon techno-park area by using the on-line GC-PID system. The average concentrations of BTEX in this study were : 2.13 ± 1.11 ppb, 15.33 ± 16.03 ppb, 1.43 ± 1.64 ppb, 2.82 ± 2.75 ppb, and 0.50 ± 0.72 ppb, for benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p-xylenes, and o-xylene, respectively. The toluene concentration was very higher than the other compounds. The hourly variations were indicated that the toluene, ethylbenzene, m,p-xylenes were increasing from 06:00 to 12:00 and sightly decreasing at nighttime except benzene. The correlations between the concentrations of BTEX compounds were high, suggesting traffic as a common source. The benzene-to-toluene ratios were about 1:8. The measurement data for BTEX were fit by probability density function curves that the probability of exist in ambient benzene was estimated more about 50 percent at above 2.0 ppb (6.96 μg/m3) level. These level of benzene concentration was not only exceed the local guidelines but three times higher than the WHO recommended that the lifetime exposure to concentrations of 1.7 μg/m3 may cause 10 cases of leukaemia per million of inhabitants.

Since Aït-Sahalia (2002)’s seminal work on obtaining a closed-form approximate transition probabil- ity density function (ATPDF) of a univariate time-homogeneous di¤usion process, many researchers employed his idea to extend it to more general cases. Those include ATPDFs of univariate time- inhomogeneous di¤usions (Egorov, Li, and Xu (2003)), likelihood expansions of multivariate time- homogeneous di¤usions (Aït-Sahalia (2008)), ATPDFs of multivariate time-homogeneous jump di¤u- sions (Yu (2007)), likelihood expansions of multivariate time-inhomogeneous di¤usions (Choi (2013)), and ATPDFs of multivariate di¤usions (Choi (2015)). This article considers getting an explicit form of an ATPDF for multivariate time-inhomogeneous jump di¤usion processes which encompass all of the aforementioned models. Using the Kolmogorov partial di¤erential equation (PDE), we …rst …nd PDEs of the coe¢ cients of the ATPDF. These PDEs can be solved and we can get the formulas to retrieve all coe¢ cients of the ATPDF successively when the multivariate time-inhomogeneous jump di¤usion is reducible. However, if it is not reducible we can no longer solve the PDEs. In this case, Taylor-expanding the coe¢ cients and matching the same orders in the PDEs yield an ATPDF for the time-homogeneous jump di¤usion. But in the case of time-inhomogeneous jump di¤usion, the similar indeterminacy problem to Choi (2013) occurs. We prove that all of the generally nonzero indeterminate terms are cancelled out in the TPDF expansion. The ATPDF can be utilized to a variety of areas including maximum likelihood estimation, asset pricing, and Bayesian analysis.

This study aimed to predict changes in forest area using a probability density function, in order to promote effective forest management in the area north of the civilian control line (known as the Minbuk area) in Korea. Time series analysis (2010 and 2016) of forest area using land cover maps and accessibility expressed by distance covariates (distance from buildings, roads, and civilian control line) was applied to a probability density function. In order to estimate the probability density function, mean and variance were calculated using three methods: area weight (AW), area rate weight (ARW), and sample area change rate weight (SRW). Forest area increases in regions with lower accessibility (i.e., greater distance) from buildings and roads, but no relationship with accessibility from the civilian control line was found. Estimation of forest area change using different distance covariates shows that SRW using distance from buildings provides the most accurate estimation, with around 0.98-fold difference from actual forest area change, and performs well in a Chi-Square test. Furthermore, estimation of forest area until 2028 using SRW and distance from buildings most closely replicates patterns of actual forest area changes, suggesting that estimation of future change could be possible using this method. The method allows investigation of the current status of land cover in the Minbuk area, as well as predictions of future changes in forest area that could be utilized in forest management planning and policymaking in the northern area.

As one of the most representative derivatives, the price of option reflects the expectation value of an underlying asset at the maturity date. Due to the property, a lot of researches have been done on the subject of abstracting underlying asset’s risk neutral PDF(probability density function) at the maturity date from option price. This study implements and proposes a semi-parametric approach, called Edgeworth Expansion, to estimate the risk neutral PDF of underlying assets from option premium. We suggest the new approach by modifying previously studied Edgeworth Expansion to reflect the number of transactions of each option. This study applies the new method to KOSPI 200 Index Option on the Korean Stock Exchange Market and measure the appropriateness of the method by comparing it to the method used in the previous study. Furthermore, we suggests to use the volatility value abstracted from Edgeworth Expansion method as the input value of Black-Scholes model, and evaluate the erroneousness of this suggestion.

우리나라는 수공구조물 설계할 때 강우빈도해석과 강우-유출 모형으로 홍수량을 산정하여 사용하고 있다. 그러나 강우자료의 확률분포 및 자료기간 등에 따른 매개변수 추정에 많은 불확실성이 존재하나 이를 고려한 해석은 이루어지지 않고 있다. 이러한 점에서 Gumbel 분포형과 확률가중 모멘트법을 기준으로 확률강우량의 신뢰구간을 평가함과 동시에 매개변수의 불확실성을 평가하는데 있어서 우수한 성능을 발휘하는 Bayesian방법을 도입하여 서울지역의 확률강우량의 불확실성을 정량적으로 평가하였다. 두 가지 방법의 비교결과 확률가중모멘트법의 신뢰구간이 Bayesian 방법의 불확실성 구간보다 전반적으로 크게 나타났다. 신뢰구간의 경우 정규분포를 따르기 때문에 좌우대칭의 형태를 갖는 반면에 Bayesian 방법의 불확실성은 Gumbel 분포로부터 유도되어, 보다 현실적인 불확실성 평가가 가능하였다. 자료의 구간 및 기간에 따른 확률강우량의 불확실성을 평가한 결과 자료에 증가에 따른 불확실성 감소를 확인할 수 있었으며, Bayesian 방법이 자료 증가에 따른 불확실성 범위 감소가 보다 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Rainfall-runoff modeling in conjunction with rainfall frequency analysis has been widely used for estimating design floods in South Korea. However, uncertainties associated with underlying distribution and sampling error have not been properly addressed. This study applied a Bayesian method to quantify the uncertainties in the rainfall frequency analysis along with Gumbel distribution. For a purpose of comparison, a probability weighted moment (PWM) was employed to estimate confidence interval. The uncertainties associated with design rainfalls were quantitatively assessed using both Bayesian and PWM methods. The results showed that the uncertainty ranges with PWM are larger than those with Bayesian approach. In addition, the Bayesian approach was able to effectively represent asymmetric feature of underlying distribution; whereas the PWM resulted in symmetric confidence interval due to the normal approximation. The use of long period data provided better results leading to the reduction of uncertainty in both methods, and the Bayesian approach showed better performance in terms of the reduction of the uncertainty.

본 연구에서는 확률밀도함수의 서식처 적합도 지수를 사용하여 도심하천구간과 자연하천구간에서 유량점증방법론(Instream flow Incremental Methodology, IFIM)을 토대로 피라미 서식처의 생태유량을 모의하였다. 이와 같은 방법을 적용하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 PHABSIM 모형을 사용하였다. 본 연구에서는 서식처 적합도 지수(Kang, 2010)를 기초로 확률밀도함수의 매개변수를 조정하여 확률밀도함수의 서식처 적합도 지수를 개발하여 생태유량을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 도심하천구간에서는 정규분포가 자연하천구간에서는 2변수 log-pearson 분포가 Kang (2010)의 생태유량에 가장 근접하는 경향을 보였다. 확률밀도함수에 의한 서식처 적합도 지수와 하천구간별로 생태유량을 모의하여 확률론적 방법을 적용한 생태유량 산정기법을 제안하였다.

In this study, the ecological flow rate of the Zacco playtypus habitat was simulated based on the Instream Flow Incremental Methodology (IFIM) in reachs of urban and natural stream using the habitat suitability index (HSI) of the probability density function (PDF). To apply this method, PHABSIM model was used in this study. However, in this study, the HSI of the probability density function was developed by adjusting the parameters of the PDF based on Kang (2010) HSI. As a result, the normal distribution is closest to the ecological flow rate of the Kang (2010) in the urban stream. However, the two-parameter log-pearson distribution tended to be the closest in the natural stream. The ecological flow rate was simulated by the HSI and the reach of stream with the PDF. Based on the comparison of simulation results, we propose an ecological flow rate estimation method using probabilistic method.

본 연구에서는 L-moment ratio diagram 기법과 지형정보시스템(GIS)을 동시에 활용하여 우리나라의 지속기간별 연 최대강우량의 최적확률밀도함수를 판별하는 새로운 기법을 제안하고, 결과 도출과정에 있어 발견된 연최대강우량의 통 계값의 흥미로운 지형학적 특성을 살펴보았다. 이를 위하여 우리나라 기상청에서 운영하는 67개의 강우관측지점에서 관측된 강우자료의 연최대강우량을 1시간, 3시간, 6시간, 12시간, 24시간 누적시간에 대하여 산출하고, L-moment ratio diagram 기법을 활용하여 이들에 대한 최적확률밀도함수를 구한 후, 이를 관측지점에 해당하는 티센 다각형에 다른 색상으로 표현하여 그 공간적 분포를 살펴보았다. 또한, 각 후보 확률밀도함수의 적합도에 대한 지도를 작성하였 다. 본 연구의 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다: (1) 강우의 극한값의 특성을 대표할 수 있는 통계값인 L-skewness와 L-kurtosis는 뚜렷한 공간적 경향을 띠고 있다. 특히 산맥을 포함한 우리나라의 지형적 특성에 큰 영향을 받았다. 이는 발생빈도가 높고 강도가 낮은 평상시의 강우사상뿐 만 아니라, 연최대강우량 또한 지형의 영향을 크게 받는다는 것을 의미한다; (2) 우리나라의 산악지역에서는 연최대강우량의 통계적 특성에 대한 고도의 영향이 비산악지역보다 더 크 며, 고도가 높은 지역일수록 발생 빈도가 낮고 강도가 강한 강우사상이 더 자주 발생하며, 강우의 누적기간이 증가할수 록 이러한 경향은 작아졌다; (3) 우리나라의 연최대강우량을 가장 잘 대변할 수 있는 확률밀도함수는 Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) 분포와 Generalized Logistic (GLO) 분포이다. 단, 남해안의 중앙지역에 대해서는 Generalized Pareto (GPA) 분포가 가장 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

This study suggested a novel approach of estimating the optimal probability density function (OPDF) of the annual maximum rainfall time series (AMRT) combining the L-moment ratio diagram and the geographical information system. This study also reported several interesting geographical characteristics of the AMRT in Korea. To achieve this purpose, this study determined the OPDF of the AMRT with the duration of 1-, 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-hours using the method of L-moment ratio diagram for each of the 67 rain gages in Korea. Then, a map with the Thiessen polygons of the 67 rain gages colored differently according the different type of the OPDF, was produced to analyze the spatial trend of the OPDF. In addition, this study produced the color maps which show the fitness of a given probability density function to represent the AMRT. The study found that (1) both L-skewness and L-kurtosis of the AMRT have clear geographical trends, which means that the extreme rainfall events are highly influenced by geography; (2) the impact of the altitude on these two rainfall statistics is greater for the mountaneous region than for the non-mountaneous region. In the mountaneous region, the areas with higher altitude are more likely to experience the less-frequent and strong rainfall events than the areas with lower altitude; (3) The most representative OPDFs of Korea except for the Southern edge are Generalized Extreme Value distribution and the Generalized Logistic distribution. The AMRT of southern edge of Korea was best represented by the Generalized Pareto distribution.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to secure the reliability of using the CalTOX model when evaluating LADD (or ADD) and Risk (or HQ) among local residents for the emission of BTEX (Benzene, Toluene, Ethylbenzene, Xylene) and by closely examining the difference in the confidence interval of the assessment outcomes according to the difference in the probability density function of input variables. Methods: The assessment was made by dividing it according to the method ($I^{\dagger}$) of inputting the probability density function in meteorological variables of the model with log-normal distribution and the method of inputting ($II^{\ddagger}$) after grasping the optimal probability density function using @Risk. A T-test was carried out in order to analyze the difference in confidence interval of the two assessment results. Results: It was evaluated to be 1.46E-03 mg/kg-d in LADD of Benzene, 1.96E-04 mg/kg-d in ADD of Toluene, 8.15E-05 mg/kg-d in ADD of Ethylbenzene, and 2.30E-04 mg/kg-d in ADD of Xylene. As for the predicted confidence interval in LADD and ADD, there was a significant difference between the $I^{\dagger}$ and $II^{\ddagger}$ methods in $LADD_{Inhalation}$ for Benzene, and in $ADD_{Inhalation}$ and ADD for Toluene and Xylene. It appeared to be 3.58E-05 for risk in Benzene, 3.78E-03 for HQ in Toluene, 1.48E-03 for HQ in Ethylbenzene, and 3.77E-03 for HQ in Xylene. As a result of the HQ in Toluene and Xylene, the difference in confidence interval between the $I^{\dagger}$ and $II^{\ddagger}$ methods was shown to be significant. Conclusions: The human risk assessment for BTEX was made by dividing it into the method ($I^{\dagger}$) of inputting the probability density function of meteorological variables for the CalTOX model with log-normal distribution, and the method of inputting ($II^{\ddagger}$) after grasping the optimal probability density function using @Risk. As a result, it was identified that Risk (or HQ) is the same, but that there is a significant difference in the confidence interval of Risk (or HQ) between the $I^{\dagger}$ and $II^{\ddagger}$ methods.

수공구조물의 설계를 위한 확률강우량의 산정방법은 크게 지점빈도해석과 지역빈도해석으로 구분된다. 일반적으로 확률강우량은 대상유역에 위치하는 강우관측소에서 관측된 강우량자료를 지점빈도해석으로 추정하게 된다. 지점빈도해석을 통한 확률강우량을 산정하기 위해서는 충분한 기간 동안의 관측된 강우량자료의 확보가 필수적이라 할 수 있으나 관측자료의 부족으로 인해 매개변수의 편의가 발생할 수 있다. 따라서 부족한 강우자료를 보완하고 안정적인 확률강우량을 산정하기 위한 방안으로 지역빈도해석이 추천되어지고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 우리나라 강우관측소의 위치 및 시간강우량 특성을 이용한 군집분석을 수행하여 강우관측소를 군집화 하였다. 군집화 된 강우관측소를 대상으로 L-moment 법을 통해 산정한 매개변수를 이용하여 각각의 지역별로 불일치성 및 이질성 검정을 통한 지역구분을 수행하여 우리나라 강우관측소를 6개 지역으로 구분하였다. 구분된 지역별로 L-moment 법, 지수홍수법 및 변동핵밀도함수를 적용한 지역빈도해석을 수행하여 각각 확률강우량을 산정하여 비교하였다. 분석결과에서 변동핵밀도함수를 이용한 지역빈도해석은 다른 기법에서 적합한 확률분포형 결정이 어려운 경우 등에 충분히 활용할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

The techniques to calculate the probability precipitation for the design of hydrological projects can be determined by the point frequency analysis and the regional frequency analysis. Probability precipitation usually calculated by point frequency analysis using rainfall data that is observed in rainfall observatory which is situated in the basin. Therefore, Probability precipitation through point frequency analysis need observed rainfall data for enough periods. But, lacking precipitation data can be calculated to wrong parameters. Consequently, the regional frequency analysis can supplement the lacking precipitation data. Therefore, the regional frequency analysis has weaknesses compared to point frequency analysis because of suppositions about probability distributions. In this paper, rainfall observatory in Korea did grouping by cluster analysis using position of timely precipitation observatory and characteristic time rainfall. Discordancy and heterogeneity measures verified the grouping precipitation observatory by the cluster analysis. So, there divided rainfall observatory in Korea to 6 areas, and the regional frequency analysis applies index-flood techniques and L-moment techniques. Also, the probability precipitation was calculated by the regional frequency analysis using variable kernel density function. At the results, the regional frequency analysis of the variable kernel function can utilize for decision difficulty of suitable probability distribution in other methods.

The Project presents object tracking from videos based on template matching using Gaussian kernel with probability distribution function and mean shift algorithm. Initially, the target will be selected from chosen video sequence to track desired object in consecutive frames. The target will be utilized to determine the probability distribution function for similarity measurement between target and current processing frames. Here, Gaussian kernel function and its gradient are used here to find the PDF for corresponding templates. Similarity between two different images will be measured by weighted sum of Gaussian coefficients and PDFS. Mean shift approach used here to shifting the starting coordinates of template to find its similar features in consecutive frames to detect desired objects. The dissimilarity between the target model and target candidates will be expressed by a metric derived from Bhattacharyya coefficient. The project simulated results shows that moving object from video will be tracked accurately at different position and shape with help of templates in a considerable amount of time.

The adaptive symbol selection scheme(ASSS) is popular in reducing peak to average power ratio(PAPR) for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM) signals. The probability density function(pdf) of the samples' amplitudes of the adaptively selected OFDM signal without over-sampling has been considered to be approximately equal to the Rayleigh pdf. In this paper, we derive a more precise pdf which shows the relationship between the probability distribution of the samples' amplitudes and the number of the candidate symbols for ASSS. Using the newly derived pdf in the theoretical analysis, more accurate calculation results can be obtained.

The distribution of wave heights is assumed to be a Rayleigh distribution, based on the assumption of a narrow band and Gaussian distribution of wave elevation. The present study was started with doubts about the narrow band assumption. We selected the wave spectra widely used to simulate irregular random waves. The wave spectra used in this study included the Pierson-Moskowitz spectrum, Bretschneider-Mitsuyasu spectrum, and JONSWAP spectrum. The directionality of the waves was considered. The cosine 2-l type directional spreading function and mixed form of the half-cosine 2-s type with Mitsuyasu type directional spreading are considered here to investigate the effects of a directional spreading function on random waves. The simulated wave height distribution is compared with a Rayleigh distribution.

The studied in this paper is a new algorithm for searching the maximum likelihood estimate(MLE) in which probability density function is not explicitly expressed. Newton-Raphson's root-finding routine and a nonlinear numerical optimization algorithm with constraint (so-called feasible sequential quadratic programming) are used. This algorithm is applied to the Wakeby distribution which is importantly used in hydrology and water resource research for analysis of extreme rainfall. The performance comparison between maximum likelihood estimates and method of L-moment estimates (L-ME) is studied by Monte-carlo simulation. The recommended methods are L-ME for up to 300 observations and MLE for over the sample size, respectively. Methods for speeding up the algorithm and for computing variances of estimates are discussed.

In this paper, we introduce the optimal approximation by a Gaussian function for a probability density function. We show that the approximation can be obtained by solving a non-linear system of parameters of Gaussian function. Then, to understand the non-normality of the empirical distributions observed in financial markets, we consider the nearly Gaussian function that consists of an optimally approximated Gaussian function and a small periodically oscillating density function. We show that, depending on the parameters of the oscillation, the nearly Gaussian functions can have fairly thick heavy tails.

조위편차는 최근 기후변화에 의한 영향으로 연안 안전 방재 측면에서 매우 중요한 인자로 부각되고 있다. 태풍강도 등과 더불어 변화가 예상되는 조위편차는 해안구조물의 안전 및 기능검토에 필요한 기준해수면 결정에 기여하는 중요한 인자이다. 우리나라 연안 조위편차의 확률밀도함수는 음 양의 왜도와 정규분포보다 큰 돌도를 가지는 분포로, 정규분포로 근사화하는 방법은 한계가 있기 때문에 본 연구에서는 비모수적 방법인 Kernel 함수를 이용하여 확률밀도함수를 추정 제안하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 확률밀도함수는 조위편차자료의 분포와 매우 우수한 일치수준을 보이고 있으며, 다양한 극값 추정에도 높은 수준의 정도를 보여주고 있다.

Tidal residual is being an important factor by the influence of the climate change in terms of the coastal safety and defense. It is one of the most important factor for the determination of the reference sea level in order to check the safety and performance of the coastal structures in company with the typhoon intensity variation. The probability density function (pdf) of tidal residuals in the Korean coasts have a non-ignorable skewness and high kurtosis. It is highly restricted to the application of the normal pdf assumption as an approximated pdf of tidal residuals. In this study, the pdf of tidal residuals estimated using the Kernel function is suggested as a more reliable and accurate pdf of tidal residuals than the normal function. This suggested pdf shows a good agreement with the empirical cumulative distribution function and histogram. It also gives the more accurate estimation result on the extreme values in comparison with the results based on the normal pdf assumption.

하천에서 유사 및 오염물질의 이동을 예측하기 위하여 초점을 두는 것에는 두 가지 요소가 있다. 입자의 농도로 나타낼 수 있는 양의 개념과 입자의 위치로 나타낼 수 있는 공간의 개념이 그것이다. 유사 입자와 같이 그 비중이 물보다 큰 경우, 흐름 내에서 침전과 부상의 메커니즘을 반복하게 되는데 최종적으로 바닥에 침적하는 위치는 하상변동, 서식처 등 하천관리의 다양한 측면에서 매우 중요하다. 유사 입자가 바닥에 침적하는 위치를 예측하는 데에는 난류와 지형 같은 많은 불확실한 요소가 내포되어 있어, 같은 크기의 유사 입자라 하여도 하나의 exact point로 도달하지 않는다. 이러한 불확실한 요소를 고려하여 침전 위치를 산정하는 방법에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 침전 위치를 확률밀도함수로 나타내어 분석하고자 한다. 입자의 침전 위치를 확률밀도함수로 나타내기 위하여 입자 기반의 추적 모형을 사용하여 위치 데이터를 얻었으며, 이를 실험데이터와 비교하여 검증 후 확률밀도함수로 나타내었다. 그 결과 입자의 침적 위치에 대한 확률밀도함수는 로그정규분포를 띠고 있음을 확인하였으며, 확률밀도함수를 나타내는 매개변수를 물리 기반 회귀모형식으로 일반화 하여 나타낼 수 있었다.

조 등(2004)에 의하여 연안 조위 발생빈도 분포함수로 제시된 쌍봉형 정규분포는 관측조위의 발생빈도와 매우 잘 일치하고 있으나 Monte-Carlo 모의기법을 이용하는 신뢰성 설계과정에서 수백만개의 조위를 발생하는 경우 비현실적인 조위가 발생되어 과대 또는 과도설계가 발생한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 비현실적인 조위발생을 원천적으로 차단하기 위하여 경계조위 상한-하한을 설정하여 분포함수의 범위를 제한하는 이중절단 쌍봉형 정규분포 함수를 제안하였으며, 제안된 함수분포에 포함된 매개변수를 비선형최적화기법을 이용하여 추정-제시하였다. 제안된 분포함수는 기존의 쌍봉형 정규분포에 비하여 뚜렷하게 정량적으로 크게 개선되는 모습을 보이지는 않으나, 신뢰성 설계과정에서 비현실적인 조위발생의 가능성을 제거할 수 있으며, 비현실적인 조위발생으로 유발되는 설계인자의 비현실적인 과대 및 과소평가 가능성도 자동적으로 제거되는 효과를 기대할 수 있는 것으로 파악되었다.

The double-peak normal distribution function (DPDF) suggested by Cho et al.(2004) has the problems that the extremely high and low tidal elevations are frequently generated in the Monte-Carlo simulation processes because the upper and lower limits of the DPDF are unbounded in spite of the excellent goodness-offit results. In this study, the modified DPDF is suggested by introducing the upper and lower value parameters and re-scale parameters in order to remove these problems. These new parameters of the DPDF are optimally estimated by the non-linear optimization problem solver using the Levenberg-Marquardt scheme. This modified DPDF can remove completely the unrealistically generated tidal levations and give a slightly better fit than the existing DRDF. Based on the DPDF's characteristic power, the over- and under estimation problems of the design factors are also automatically intercepted, too.
