      Meilán-Vila, Andrea; Opsomer, Jean; Francisco-Fernández, Mario; Crujeiras-Casais, Rosa M. (2020)
      The problem of assessing a parametric regression model in the presence of spatial correlation is addressed in this work. For that purpose, a goodness-of-fit test based on a -distance comparing a parametric and nonparametric ...

      [Abstract] A kinetic model is proposed to fit isothermal thermogravimetric data obtained from cellulose in an inert atmosphere at different temperatures. The method used here to evaluate the model involves two steps: (1) ...
    • A New Approach to the Gender Pay Gap Decomposition by Economic Activity 

      Lombardía, María José; López Vizcaíno, María Esther; Rueda, Cristina (Oxford University Press, 2022-01)
      [Abstract]: The aim of this paper is to present an original approach to estimate the gender pay gap (GPG). We propose a model-based decomposition, similar to the most popular approaches, where the first component measures ...
    • A New Method for Ordering Functional Data and its Application to Diagnostic Test 

      Estévez-Pérez, G.; Vieu, Philippe (Springer Nature, 2020)
      [Abstract] This contribution proposes a new ordering method for functional data which could be a starting point for developing new advances in problems for which the ordering of curves is of interest. This method is used ...
    • A New Way for Ranking Functional Data With Applications in Diagnostic Test 

      Estévez-Pérez, G.; Vieu, Philippe (Springer Nature, 2020-07-17)
      [Abstract] This is a two faces paper. Firstly, it investigates diagnostic tests in situations when the observed variables are functional, that is, diagnostic tests that use functional variables as biomarkers. A procedure ...
