A semi-parametric joint model for two sequential times to events and one longitudinal covariate
(2012)
Conference lecture
Open AccessThe present work proposes a joint model for two sequential times to events together with longitudinal information, as an extension of the joint model by Wolfsohn and Tsiatis (1997) for one time to event and one longitudinal ... -
A nonparametric statistical model for the selection of significant variables acting in the deterioration of built façades
(International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2020)
Conference report
Open AccessSerrat and Gibert (2011) introduced the use of survival analysis techniques for the study of time-to-failure in the facades of a building stock. Those techniques have been implemented in a predictive system that incorporates ... -
A 3D model for building condition assessment
(2020)
Conference report
Open AccessThe aim of the paper is to analyze practical aspects with use of 3D Model for accurate building condition assessment. Use of fully interactive visualization methods from a technical condition assessment platform going to ... -
A vector scale of severity of damages in buildings
(2020)
Conference report
Open AccessIn the context of the existing buildings, along the recent years the concept of maintenance has changed from corrective maintenance to preventive maintenance, which is based in part on periodic inspections. There is ample ... -
An agile simheuristic for the stochastic team task assignment and orienteering problem: applications to unmanned aerial vehicles
(2020)
Conference report
Open AccessEfficient coordination of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) requires the solving of challenging operational problems. One of them is the integrated team task assignment and orienteering problem (TAOP). The TAOP can be seen ... -
Reversible-Jump MCMC for Likelihood-Based Finite Mixture Models for Ordinal Data
(American Statistical Association, 2016)
Conference report
Restricted access - publisher's policyMany of the methods which deal with the reduction of dimensionality in matrices of data are based on mathematical techniques such as distance-based algorithms or matrix decomposition and eigen values. In general, it is not ... -
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 fully interactive visualization method for building condition assessment
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessThe aim of the paper is to introduce a tool for the accurate assessment of the technical condition of buildings. The proposed methodology is becoming an efficient strategy for the massive inspection of building stocks, in ... -
Application of TLS intensity data for detection of brick walls defects
(2019)
Conference report
Open AccessTerrestrial Laser Scanning (TLS) is a well-established technique for remote acquisition of geometrical data of a tested object. For the past two decades it has been commonly used in geodesy, surveying and related areas for ... -
Is one inspection enough to estimate durability in buildings? a simulation study
(2010)
Conference report
Open AccessDecisions about intervention in existing buildings are generally based on information gathered from inspections, as a systematic tool for the identification of some injury in buildings. In this sense, in order to carry out ...
