Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In statistical methods, such as statistical static timing analysis (S-STA) algorithm, summation and minimum or maximum operation for non-Gaussian distributions are repeated. Gaussian mixture model (GMM) is a useful tool for representing a non-Gaussian distribution generated by minimum or maximum operation for Gaussian distributions, and can treat correlation easily. However, in order to repeat operations for GMMs efficiently, the number of components must be restricted around two. Previous methods for S-STA used a GMM with two components (2-GMM), and a GMM with eight components (8-GMM) is generated by single operation of minimum or maximum for 2-GMMs. Hence, the previous methods approximate a generated 8-GMM by a 2-GMM, but in a certain cases, they cannot generate appropriate 2-GMMs. In this paper, we propose a new approximation method to reduce the number of components of GMM, which uses a distance between distribution shapes of components. Moreover, we show some results of performance evaluation, which demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
