There are many complicated situations in football, and it is considered a sport where statistical analysis and play prediction are difficult. In the United States, football analysis has been actively conducted and utilized in actual games. However, in Japan, merely a few teams have used statistical analysis in actual games. To contribute to the Japanese football industry, we performed several analyses using statistical methods that enable quantitative interpretation by quantifying and visualizing football. Consequently, this research has enabled the analysis, quantification, and visualization of various elements of football. For example, the expected score value is calculated for each football situation, thereby facilitating a quantitative comparison of the characteristics of each team. Furthermore, among the prediction methods using machine learning, we can grasp the information that is compatible with the prediction of football plays that are run and passed, as well as the information necessary to construct a highly accurate classification rule.","PeriodicalId":301168,"journal":{"name":"Total Quality Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128780829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The underlying condition is continuously or periodically observed by a sensor. In most research on condition-based maintenance, the accuracy of the sensor was assumed to not change over time. However, in actuality, not only the system but also the sensor deteriorates over time. In this research, we considered a multi-state system that deteriorates in accordance with a discrete-time Markov chain. It is assumed that the underlying deterioration state is observed periodically by a sensor with accuracy that degrades over time. After each observation, a decision maker chooses one of three actions: continue operating system, replace only system, and replace both system and sensor. We formulated the optimization problem of condition-based maintenance for both the system and sensor using a partially observable Markov decision process. The objective is to minimize the total expected discounted costs (both operation and maintenance of system and sensor) over an infinite horizon. We analytically show that, under certain sufficient conditions, the total expected discounted costs are monotonically non-decreasing with respect to the state probability vector of the system and the age of the sensor. Moreover, the optimal policy has a threshold-type structure. We also provide a numerical example illustrating the properties obtained. These properties are useful for many practical purposes, such as determining thresholds for changing the maintenance action.","PeriodicalId":301168,"journal":{"name":"Total Quality Science","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132222551","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to estimate the measurement precision of ordinal categorical data. ISO 5725-1 states that precision of measurement methods can be quantified by conducting precision evaluation experiments, and ISO 5725-2 provides a methodology to evaluate the measurement precision for quantitative data. Regarding qualitative data, some previous studies exist on quantifying the precision of binary and multinomial data. However, no reasonable methodologies have yet been established. Thus, this study proposes the analysis method for the data obtained from a collaborative study on intratracheal administration testing for assessing effects in rat lungs. A primary objective of the collaborative study was to demonstrate dose-response relationships. To investigate the dose-response relationships, hypothesis tests such as a Cochran–Armitage trend test and a cumulative chi-squared test were performed, which are applicable even for ordinal categorical data. Moreover, logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the dose-response relationships and the precision among laboratories. This result was expressed by 50% efficient dose ( 𝐸𝐸𝐸𝐸 50 ) and area under the curve (AUC). Then, we obtained that a dose-response relationship was observed for each laboratory, and the differences in the relationships among laboratories expressed precision.","PeriodicalId":301168,"journal":{"name":"Total Quality Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129692479","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To determine the regional characteristics of the urban heat island, a high spatial density meteorological observation system is required. For this purpose, Tokyo Metropolitan Research Institute for Environmental Protection installed a high-density meteorological observation system called METROS in the Tokyo ward area in July 2002. However, missing values are often present in the observed data. Analyzing data without handling missing values can cause loss of precision and biased estimates. Thus, an imputation method for missing values that considers the temperature characteristics of the Tokyo ward area is required. In this study, we propose two imputation methods considering temperature fluctuations with high locality in central Tokyo. Both methods are modification of the inverse distance weight (IDW) method, which is a general imputation method for spatial data. Our proposed methods correct surrounding observed values before imputing unobserved value by their weighted average. Different approaches are considered for correcting surrounding observed values. A simulation study based on various missing data was conducted. Simulations revealed that our proposed methods exhibited higher performance in different settings of missing data than the IDW method.","PeriodicalId":301168,"journal":{"name":"Total Quality Science","volume":"122 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123471379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Another relevant technique is multiple single regression (MSR), which incorporates the concept of the resistance line. These methods are used to make predictions when there is one output. In addition, multivariate multiple regression analysis is used as a prediction method when there are multivariate outputs. This study proposes methods that apply the T-method and MSR to multiple outputs. The proposed methods are: \"independent multivariate T-method\" (iMvT), \"multivariate T-method\" (MvT), \"simple multivariate T-method\" (MvT+), \"independent multivariate multiple single regression\" (iMMSR), \"multivariate multiple single regression\" (MMSR), and \"simple multivariate multiple single regression\" (MMSR+). iMvT and iMMSR combine predictions simply, MvT and MMSR apply generalized least squares, and MvT+ and MMSR+ apply Moore–Penrose’s generalized inverse matrix. We compared the accuracy of the proposed methods with that of multivariate multiple regression analysis. Artificial data analysis was performed by changing the number of training data and correlation. We also performed analyses on the actual data. The results indicate that the proposed methods are more accurate than the existing methods.","PeriodicalId":301168,"journal":{"name":"Total Quality Science","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126449961","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
