A shared-parameter joint model for prostate cancer risk and psa longitudinal profiles
(Fundación Mapfre, 2015)
Conference report
Open AccessThe paper describes the use of frequentist and Bayesian shared-parameter joint models of longitudinal measurements of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and the risk of prostate cancer (PCa). The motivating dataset corresponds ... -
A simheuristic for the unmanned aerial vehicle surveillance-routing problem with stochastic travel times and reliability considerations
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) surveillance-routing problem, a limited fleet of UAVs with driving-range limitations have to visit a series of target zones in order to complete a monitoring operation. This operation ... -
A statistical learning based approach for parameter fine-tuning of metaheuristics
(2016-06)
Article
Open AccessMetaheuristics are approximation methods used to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Their performance usually depends on a set of parameters that need to be adjusted. The selection of appropriate parameter values ... -
Analysis of construction auctions data in Slovak Public Procurement
(2018-01-01)
Article
Open AccessThe requirement for efficient public spending leads contracting authorities to use electronic reverse auctions (e-RA), a tool that allows achieving financial savings. In this study, we aim to explore the relationships ... -
Application of TLS intensity data for detection of brick walls defects
(2019)
Conference report

Communication key performance indicators for selecting construction project bidders
(2017-11)
Article
Open AccessIt is vital to select the right project bidders, as this affects the success of a project. Although there are numerous methods for assessing bidders, communication is rarely taken into account. This paper discusses the ... -
Condition assessment of building façades based on hazard to people
(2019-06)
Article
Open AccessTo make periodic inspections of the buildings is useful to quantify the extent to which deficiencies are severe or not, in order to facilitate decision making and prioritize interventions. In previous works by the authors ... -
