A Doubly Smoothed PD Estimator in Credit Risk
Peláez, Rebeca; Cao, Ricardo; Vilar, Juan M. (MDPI AG, 2020-09-01)[Abstract] In this work a doubly smoothed probability of default (PD) estimator is proposed based on a smoothed version of the survival Beran’s estimator. The asymptotic properties of both the smoothed survival and PD ... -

Automatic detection of defective crankshafts by image analysis and supervised classification
Remeseiro, Beatriz; Tarrío-Saavedra, Javier; Francisco-Fernández, Mario; Penedo, Manuel; Naya, Salvador; Cao, Ricardo (2019)[Abstract]: A crankshaft is a mechanical component of an engine that performs a conversion of an alternative movement of a piston in a rotational motion of a shaft. It is a critical part and one of the most expensive of ... -
Bagging cross-validated bandwidths with application to big data
Barreiro-Ures, Daniel; Cao, Ricardo; Francisco-Fernández, Mario; Hart, Jeffrey D. (2021)Hall & Robinson (2009) proposed and analysed the use of bagged cross-validation to choose the band-width of a kernel density estimator. They established that bagging greatly reduces the noise inherent in ordinary ... -
Bandwidth Selection for Prediction in Regression
Barbeito, Inés; Cao, Ricardo; Sperlich, Stefan (M D P I AG, 2019-08-05)[Abstract] There exist many different methods to choose the bandwidth in kernel regression. If, however, the target is regression based prediction for samples or populations with potentially different distributions, then ... -
Bandwidth selection for statistical matching and prediction
Barbeito Cal, Inés; Cao, Ricardo; Sperlich, Stephan (Springer, 2022)[Abstract]: While there exist many bandwidth selectors for estimation, bandwidth selection for statistical matching and prediction has hardly been studied so far. We introduce a computationally attractive selector for ... -
Big-But-Biased Data Analytics for Air Quality
Borrajo, Laura; Cao, Ricardo (MDPI AG, 2020-09-22)[Abstract] Air pollution is one of the big concerns for smart cities. The problem of applying big data analytics to sampling bias in the context of urban air quality is studied in this paper. A nonparametric estimator ... -
Bootstrap Bandwidth Selection and Confidence Regions for Double Smoothed Default Probability Estimation
Peláez, Rebeca; Cao, Ricardo; Vilar, Juan M. (MDPI, 2022)[Abstract] For a fixed time, t, and a horizon time, b, the probability of default (PD) measures the probability that an obligor, that has paid his/her credit until time t, runs into arrears not later that time t+b. This ... -
Bootstrap Selector for the Smoothing Parameter of Beran’s Estimator
Peláez, Rebeca; Cao, Ricardo; Vilar, Juan M. (MDPI, 2021)[Abstract] This work proposes a resampling technique to approximate the smoothing parameter of Beran’s estimator. It is based on resampling by the smoothed bootstrap and minimising the bootstrap approximation of the mean ... -

In this work, we performed a brief study of monitoring the SARS-CoV-2 viral load ... -
Comments on: Nonparametric estimation in mixture cure models with covariates
Cao, Ricardo (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023)[Abstract]: This paper discusses the invited paper by López-Cheda, Peng and Jácome on nonparametric mixture cure models with covariates. An alternative estimation procedure is proposed in this context. The situation when ... -
Computationally Efficient Bootstrap Expressions for Bandwidth Selection in Nonparametric Curve Estimation
Barbeito Cal, Inés; Cao, Ricardo (M D P I AG, 2018-09-17)[Abstract] Bootstrap methods are used for bandwidth selection in: (1) nonparametric kernel density estimation with dependent data (smoothed stationary bootstrap and smoothed moving blocks bootstrap), and (2) nonparametric ... -
Cost-sensitive thresholding over a two-dimensional decision region for fraud detection
C-Rella, Jorge; Cao, Ricardo; Vilar, Juan M. (Elsevier B.V., 2024-02)[Absctract]: Credit fraud poses a challenging task in terms of detection. It can result in significant losses depending on the amount, so a cost-sensitive perspective needs to be taken. Classical approaches focus on ... -
