But it requires a large amount of computation. Various alternative schemes are considered to reduce its computation. Modified generalized information criterion is one of those alternative schemes. In this criterion an influence function is used to estimate the parameters of the models. By the numerical simulation we studied the effect of an influence function.  Surveying data of the lake depth are used as the sample data. We estimate the shape of lake bottom as spline surface. The estimated parameters and the estimated depths obtained by two criteria are compared and the effect of an information function is analysed. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=BaoHong Mei en-aut-sei=Bao en-aut-mei=Hong Mei kn-aut-name=包紅梅 kn-aut-sei=包 kn-aut-mei=紅梅 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FuedaKaoru en-aut-sei=Fueda en-aut-mei=Kaoru kn-aut-name=笛田薫 kn-aut-sei=笛田 kn-aut-mei=薫 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境生命科学研究科 en-keyword=influence function kn-keyword=influence function en-keyword=information criteria kn-keyword=information criteria en-keyword=CV kn-keyword=CV en-keyword=mGIC kn-keyword=mGIC en-keyword=B-spline kn-keyword=B-spline END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=16 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=1 end-page=5 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2011 dt-pub=20110318 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Validation of Dollar cost averaging investment method kn-title=ドルコスト平均法を用いた投資の有効性の検証 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=As a method of long term investment for private investor, the dollar cost averaging investment method is well known and seems to reduce the purchase cost because we purchase risk assets with same amount of monye every month, then we purchase many assets when the price of assets is low and few assets when the price is high. On the other hand, if the expectation of the return of the risk assets is positive, we have the maximum expectation of return when we purchase the risk assets with all of money to invest. To reduce the risk of investment, diversified investments are effective. However question whehter we use the dollar cost averaging investment method or investe money all at once to well-diversified risk assets remains. In this study, we validate the effecte of the ddollar cost averaging investment method by Monte Carlo simulation. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=ToujiMasayuki en-aut-sei=Touji en-aut-mei=Masayuki kn-aut-name=田路正幸 kn-aut-sei=田路 kn-aut-mei=正幸 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FuedaKaoru en-aut-sei=Fueda en-aut-mei=Kaoru kn-aut-name=笛田薫 kn-aut-sei=笛田 kn-aut-mei=薫 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学大学院環境学研究科 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学環境理工学部 en-keyword=Dollar cost averaging kn-keyword=Dollar cost averaging en-keyword=investment kn-keyword=investment en-keyword=Monte Carlo simulation kn-keyword=Monte Carlo simulation en-keyword=Stock price index kn-keyword=Stock price index END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=13 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=7 end-page=15 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2008 dt-pub=200803 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Statistical modeling for analysis of malaria epidemic behavior at Ishigaki Island kn-title=石垣島におけるマラリア流行解析のための統計モデリング en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=It is necessary to consider a stochastic variability in modeling malaria epidemic behavior since the malaria infection cycle essentially depends on stochastic elements. For this requirement, we need to construct an appropriate statistical model from available data in advance. In this report, we provide some statistical models for the analysis of malaria epidemic behavior at Ishigaki Island. These models can be used for recurrence of past malaria epidemic and prediction of future malaria epidemic at Ishigaki Island. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=UekiMasao en-aut-sei=Ueki en-aut-mei=Masao kn-aut-name=植木優夫 kn-aut-sei=植木 kn-aut-mei=優夫 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=NakagawaYuuki en-aut-sei=Nakagawa en-aut-mei=Yuuki kn-aut-name=中川祐希 kn-aut-sei=中川 kn-aut-mei=祐希 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=FuedaKaoru en-aut-sei=Fueda en-aut-mei=Kaoru kn-aut-name=笛田薫 kn-aut-sei=笛田 kn-aut-mei=薫 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=IshikawaHirofumi en-aut-sei=Ishikawa en-aut-mei=Hirofumi kn-aut-name=石川洋文 kn-aut-sei=石川 kn-aut-mei=洋文 aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=Anopheles minimus, kn-keyword=Anopheles minimus, en-keyword=generalized liner model kn-keyword=generalized liner model en-keyword=Ishigaki Island kn-keyword=Ishigaki Island en-keyword=malaria epidemic behavior kn-keyword=malaria epidemic behavior en-keyword=prediction kn-keyword=prediction en-keyword=stochastic model kn-keyword=stochastic model END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=12 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=29 end-page=40 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2007 dt-pub=20070315 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Variable selection besed on global score estimation and its numerical investigation kn-title=合成変数の推定を利用した項目選択とその数値的検討 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=A variable selection method using global score estimation is proposed, which is applicable as a selection criterion in any multivariate method without external variables such as principal component analysis. This method selects a reasonable subset of variables so that the global scores, e.g. principal component scores, which are computed based on the selected variables, approximate the original global scores as well as possible in the context of the least squares. Three computational steps are proposed to estimate the scores according to how to satisfy the restriction that the estimated global scores are mutually uncorrelated. Three different examples are analyzed to demonstrate the performance and usefulness of the proposed method numerically, in which three steps are evaluated and the results obtained using four cost-saving selection procedures are compared. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=MoriYuichi en-aut-sei=Mori en-aut-mei=Yuichi kn-aut-name=森裕一 kn-aut-sei=森 kn-aut-mei=裕一 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FuedaKaoru en-aut-sei=Fueda en-aut-mei=Kaoru kn-aut-name=笛田薫 kn-aut-sei=笛田 kn-aut-mei=薫 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=IizukaMasaya en-aut-sei=Iizuka en-aut-mei=Masaya kn-aut-name=飯塚誠也 kn-aut-sei=飯塚 kn-aut-mei=誠也 aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山理科大学総合情報学部 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=principal components kn-keyword=principal components en-keyword=least square kn-keyword=least square en-keyword=orthogonalization kn-keyword=orthogonalization en-keyword=cost-saving selection kn-keyword=cost-saving selection END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=11 cd-vols= no-issue=1 article-no= start-page=31 end-page=41 dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2006 dt-pub=20060315 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title=Socially Responsible Investment to Japanese Companies kn-title=社会的責任投資の視点から評価した日本企業の環境対策 en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Recently, Socially Responsible Investment, which is a policy of investment regarding with companies' social, environmental and moral value, attracts attention of investors.

In this case, we often use histogram which provides an information about the board line of density's curve. However histogram can not be the best method when the true density function is continuous, as is often the cases. On the other hand, kernel density estimator is another popular one which gives a continuous function. In some practical cases, however, there is a case that some knowledges about the range of the data are previously given. For instance, data of percentage, such as mortality rate, only takes the values on [0,1]. This paper considers two different modifications in kernel density estimator for the data on known interval and compares them. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=UekiMasao en-aut-sei=Ueki en-aut-mei=Masao kn-aut-name=植木優夫 kn-aut-sei=植木 kn-aut-mei=優夫 aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=FuedaKaoru en-aut-sei=Fueda en-aut-mei=Kaoru kn-aut-name=笛田薫 kn-aut-sei=笛田 kn-aut-mei=薫 aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=岡山大学 en-keyword=kernel density estimator kn-keyword=kernel density estimator en-keyword=adaptive bandwidth kn-keyword=adaptive bandwidth en-keyword=data on finite interval kn-keyword=data on finite interval END
