  • Good: an R package for modelling count data 

    Agis Cherta, David; Tur Prats, Jordi; Moriña Soler, David; Puig Casado, Pere; Fernandez Fontelo, Amanda (John Wiley & sons, 2024-01-01)
    Article
    Open Access
    Organisms-related data often appear as counts. The Poisson distribution is the most popular choice for modelling count data, but this distribution assumes equidispersion, which is usually not satisfied in real-world data. ...
  • Consistent exponential control algorithm for building structures

    The research presented is driven by the global increase in wind power capacity and the commitment of the scientific community to facilitate its integration into electrical grids. The focus of this study is the modeling of ...
  • Magnetic levitation: an academic prototype 

    Rossell Garriga, Josep Maria; Barcons Xixons, Víctor (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute, 2024-09-16)
    Article
    Open Access
    The vibrations that a shaft suffers when rotating affect both the friction and subsequent wear of the shaft. The main objective of this paper is to present an academic and experimental prototype that allows controlling the ...
  • A Finite-time control design for the discrete-time chaotic logistic equations 

    Acho Zuppa, Leonardo; Buenestado Caballero, Pablo; Pujol Vázquez, Gisela (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024-08)
    Article
    Open Access
    Finite-time control theory has been widely used as a mathematical tool to design robust controllers. By manipulating the finite-time convergence proof of this theory, we developed a new control design appropriately tuned ...
  • Wind turbine gearbox condition monitoring through the sequential analysis of industrial SCADA and vibration data 

    Castellani, Francesco; Natili, Francesco; Astolfi, Davide; Vidal Seguí, Yolanda (Elsevier, 2024-12-02)
    Article
    Open Access
    The operation & maintenance expenditure for a wind farm project can reach the impressive share of 30% of the total costs. This matter of fact motivates the need for optimal operation & maintenance, which is estimated to ...
