A Bayesian approach to cluster analysis
(Universitat Politècnica de Barcelona. Centre de Càlcul, 1988)
Article
Open AccessA general probabilistic model for describing the structure of statistical problems known under the generic name of cluster analysis, based on finite mixtures of distributions, is proposed. We analyse the theoretical and ... -
A comparative study of microaggregation methods
(Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 1998)
Article
Open AccessMicroaggregation is a statistical disclosure control technique for microdata. Raw microdata (i.e. individual records) are grouped into small aggregates prior to publication. Each aggregate should contain at least k records ... -
A data mining approach to identify cognitive NeuroRehabilitation Range in Traumatic Brain Injury patients
(2014-09-01)
Article
Restricted access - publisher's policyCognitive rehabilitation (CR) treatment consists of hierarchically organized tasks that require repetitive use of impaired cognitive functions in a progressively more demanding sequence. Active monitoring of the progress ... -
A data science approach for spatiotemporal modelling of low and resident air pollution in Madrid (Spain): implications for epidemiological studies
(2019-05-01)
Article
Open AccessModel developments to assess different air pollution exposures within cities are still a key challenge in environmental epidemiology. Background air pollution is a long-term resident and low-level concentration pollution ... -
A genome-wide association study of cattle feed efficiency
(Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya / Universitat de Barcelona, 2020-10)
Master thesis
Restricted access - author's decisionThe goal of this project is to study the relationship between the genotype (SNPs) and phenotype (feed efficiency, FE) of a cow population of size n = 608. In order to achieve this goal, a descriptive analysis of the genetic ... -
A model for credit scoring: an application of discriminant analysis
(Institut d'estadística de Catalunya, 1994)
Article
Open AccessThe application of statistical techniques in decision making, and more specifically for classification requirements, has proved to be adequate in the context of financial problems. In this study, we present the methodology ... -
A preliminary taxonomy and a standard knowledge base for mental-health system indicators in Spain
(2010-11)
Article

A recursion formula for expected negative and positive powers of the central Wishart distribution
(Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 2007)
Article
Open AccessWe use Haff’s fundamental identity to express the expectation of Sp in lower-order terms, where S follows the central Wishart distribution. -
A review of canonical coordinates and an alternative to correspondence analysis using Hellinger distance
(Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 1995)
Article
Open AccessIn this paper a general theory of canonical coordinates is developed for reduction of dimensionality in multivariate data, assessing the loss of information and plotting higher dimensional data in two or three dimensions ... -
A simple statistic to test generalized palindromic symmetry model in a 4 x 4 contingency table
(Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 1993)
Article
Open AccessFor a 4x4 contingency table, this note gives a simple statistic to test the goodness-of-fit of the generalized palindromic symmetry (GPS) model considered by McCullagh (1978). Also an asymptotic confidence interval for a ... -
About one problem of Bernoulli and Euler from the theory of statistical estimation.
(Institut d'Estadística de Catalunya, 2006)
Article
Open AccessWe consider some results by D. Bernoulli and L. Euler on the method of maximum likelihood in parametric estimation. The statistical analysis is made by considering a parametric family with a shift parameter. -
Advantages of combining AI and statistic for knowledge discovery on functional disability: multivariate analysis of assessment scales using clustering based on rules
(2009-12)
Article
Open AccessIn Europe, and other developed areas, senior citizens are a fast growing part of population. This increases proportion of disabled persons and proportion of persons with reduced quality of life. The concept of disability ... -
