Data-adaptive Probability Plot and its Applications

with a particular focus on the Metabolic Syndrome which make it obiligatory for person aged 40 through 74 to reduce medical expenses and prevent lifestylerelated diseases. However, Kondo 2004 indicates a lack of foundation for health checkup. And we think that it is important to clarify foundation for effect of health checkups and healthcare advice. In this paper, through consistent statistical data analysis, we suggested a method which evaluate directed effect, attempting to figure the doctor's charactor, based on results of the health checkups carried out in April, 2004. As a result, we confirmed that the doctor classified subjects in the directed group from their body types such as weight and BMI, and in directed effect that it reduced weight and BMI, but it gave increase of TG and decrease of HDL which were likely to develop abnormal lipid metabolism. So, we found that adequate evaluation for effect of healthcare advice after careful consideration about the doctor's charactor leads to suggestion of scientific foundation for health checkups and healthcare advice.

Geological data such as the strike of bedding, paleocurrent directions, paleomagnetic directions, and the trend of mineral lineations are directional data defined by an angle from a reference direction. The main characteristic of such data is circularity in any reference direction (i.e. ° °), which creates problems when analyzing the data statistically. In this regard, only directional statistics are adequate for dealing with directional data. This paper introduces the fundamental theory of circular statistics, a form of directional statistics that is restricted to data on a circumference, and presents practical methods with which to analyze circular data, including their graphical representation, descriptive statistics, the characteristics of circular uniform and von Mises distributions, tests of goodness-of-fit, and single-and multi-sample statistical tests. In addition, statistical software is considered with which to analyze circular data.
