Scheduling policies for multi-period services
In many situations, the resources in organizations are employed to satisfy some demand (or services) requirements, which are repeated with some periodicity. These recurrent services appear in a large variety of processes ...
Bayesian analysis of textual data
En esta tesis se desarrolla, siempre con el enfoque bayesiano en mente, una metodología estadística para el análisis de datos discretos en su aplicación en problemas estilometría. El análisis estadístico del estilo literario ...
The impact of effective factors on the Iranian electricity market in comparison to the Spanish electricity market
Electricity market analysis is important to access strategic market information which can be further employed to pass energy policies. Due to the advantages of privatization, the Iranian government has taken certain ...
Improving urban deliveries via collaboration
Distribution of goods is essential for the economic development of cities but at the same time it entails several problems to the urban systems and different stakeholders. Carriers spend a significant portion of their cost ...
Contributions to industrial statistics
This thesis is about statistics' contributions to industry. It is an article compendium comprising four articles divided in two blocks: (i) two contributions for a water supply company, and (ii) significance of the effects ...
Medium-term power planning in electricity markets with renewable generation sources
The problem addressed in this thesis is the medium-term generation planning over a yearly horizon of a generation company participating in a liberalized electricity market with pool auction of generation and consumption ...
A principal component method to analyse disconnected frequency tables by means of contextual information
This thesis arises from the need to deal with open-ended questions answered in different languages in international surveys. For every language, the free answers are encoded in the form of a individuals x words lexical ...
Modelling with heterogeneity
When collecting survey data for a specific study it is usual to have some background information, in the form for example, of socio-demographic variables. In our context, these variables may be useful in identifying potential ...
Large-scale simulation of population dynamics for socio-demographic analysis
Computer modelling and complex systems simulation have dominated the scientific debate over the last decade, providing important outcomes in biology, geology and life sciences. In the social sciences, the number of research ...
Mathematical programming based approaches for classes of complex network problems : economical and sociological applications
The thesis deals with the theoretical and practical study of mathematical programming methodologies to the analysis complex networks and their application in economic and social problems. More specifically, it applies ...
Análisis conjunto de múltiples tablas de datos mixtos mediante PLS
The fundamental content of this thesis corresponds to the development of the GNM-NIPALIS, GNM-PLS2 and GNM-RGCCA methods, used to quantify qualitative variables parting from the first k components given by the appropriate ...
Economic evaluation in health research: cohort simultation and applications
Currently, resources that may be spent in health care are limited so it is necessary to rationalize their consumption and prioritise their allocation to the options with higher health outcome and economic sustainability. ...
Survival data analysis with heavy-censoring and long-term survivors
The research developed in this thesis has been motivated by two datasets, which are introduced in Chapter 2, one concerning the mortality of calves from birth to weaning while the other refers to survival of patients ...
Conjoint design of railway lines and frequency setting under semi-congested scenarios
This thesis develops mathematical programming models which integrate network design (ND) and line frequency setting (LFS) phases. These appear in transport planning studies that extend an existing urban public transportation ...
A mesoscopic traffic simulation based dynamic traffic assignment
In terms of sustainability, traffic is currently a significant challenge for urban areas, where the pollution, congestion and accidents are negative externalities which have strongly impacted the health and economy of ...
The level of adoption of analytical tools
This PhD thesis is focused on disclosing features that might cause the increase in the use of analytical tools for better decision making. The theoretical part of this research is developed in two phases. At first, an ...
Particle filtering estimation for linear and nonlinear state-space models
The sequential estimation of the states (filtering) and the corresponding simultaneous estimation of the states and fixed parameters of a dynamic state-space model, being linear or not, is an important probleminmany fields ...
The capacitated minimum spanning tree problem
In this thesis we focus on the Capacitated Minimum Spanning Tree (CMST), an extension of the minimum spanning tree (MST) which considers a central or root vertex which receives and sends commodities (information, goods, ...
Combination of vehicle routing models and dynamic traffic simulation for city logistics applications
The urban network is a highly dynamic system. Thus, a modern and efficient fleet management in urban areas should account for dynamics of traffic conditions, variability in travel times, changes in demand and fleet ...
Patent value models: partial least squares path modelling with mode C and few indicators
Two general goals were raised in this thesis: First, to establish a PLS model for patent value and to investigate causality relationships among variables that determine the patent value; second, to investigate the performance ...
