Multiple imputation of time series: an application to the construction of historical price indexes
Tusell Palmer, Fernando Jorge
(2005)
Time series in many areas of application, and notably in the social sciences, are frequently incomplete. This is particularly annoying when we need to have complete data, for instance to compute indexes as a weighted average ... -
Multivariate Data Imputation using Trees
Bárcena Ruiz, María Jesús; Tusell Palmer, Fernando Jorge (2002)
We address the problem of completing two files with records containing a fully observed common subset of variables. The tecnique investigated involves the use of regression and/or classification trees. An extension of ... -
Music-Theoretic Estimation of Chords and Keys from Audio
(2012)This paper proposes a new method for local key and chord estimation from audio signals. This method relies primarily on principles from music theory, and does not require any training on a corpus of labelled audio files. ... -
Net Children Go Mobile. Riesgos y oportunidades en internet y uso de dispositivos móviles entre menores españoles (2010-2015)

Network formation under institutional constraints
Olaizola Ortega, María Norma; Valenciano Llovera, Federico (2011-05)
We study the effects of institutional constraints on stability, efficiency and network formation. An exogenous "societal cover" consisting of a collection of possibly overlapping subsets covering the set of players specifies ... -
Neutral candidates in approval and disapproval vote
González, Stéphane; Laruelle, Annick; Solal, Philippe (Fundamentos del Análisis Económico I, UPV/EHU, 2017-11-24)
In this article, the question is to select the “best” candidates within a set of candidates when voters cast approval-disapproval ternary ballots. That is, three options are offered to voters: casting a vote “in favor”, a ... -
New Keynesian Model Features that Can Reproduce Lead, Lag and Persistence Patterns
Cassou, Steven P.; Vázquez Pérez, Jesús (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2010-04)
This paper uses a new method for describing dynamic comovement and persistence in economic time series which builds on the contemporaneous forecast error method developed in den Haan (2000). This data description method ... -
New methods for generating populations in Markov network based EDAs: Decimation strategies and model-based template recombination
Santana Hermida, Roberto; ; (2012-12-27)
Methods for generating a new population are a fundamental component of estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs). They serve to transfer the information contained in the probabilistic model to the new generated population. ... -
Non-Stationary Demand in a Durable Goods Monopoly
Usategui Díaz de Otalora, José María (University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2006-01)
In a context where demand for the services of a durable good changes over time, and this change may be uncertain, the paper shows that social welfare may be higher when the monopolist seller can commit to any future price ... -
Nonparametric estimation betas in the Market Model
Esteban González, María Victoria; (2006)
In this study an alternative nonparametric estimator to the Fama and MacBeth approach for the CAPM estimation is proposed. Betas and risk premiums are estimated simultaneously in order to increase the explanatory power of ... -
Nonparametric estimation of time varying parameters under shape restrictions
; Ferreira García, María Eva; Rodríguez Poo, Juan M. (2001-01)
In this paper we propose a new method to estimate nonparametrically a time varying parameter model when some qualitative information from outside data (e.g. seasonality) is available. In this framework we make two main ... -
Numerical Distribution Functions for Seasonal Unit Root Tests
Díaz-Emparanza Herrero, Ignacio (2011-12)
When working with time series data observed at intervals smaller than a year, it is often necessary to test for the presence of seasonal unit roots. One of the most widely used methods for testing seasonal unit roots is ... -
Obtaining teaching expertise from F2F learning interactions
Ruiz, Samara; Urretavizcaya, Maite; Fernández de Castro, Isabel (2012)
Learning environments are commonly used nowadays, but they exclude face-to-face interaction among teachers and students what is a successful basis of traditional education. On the other hand, in many cases teachers are ... -
On demand translation for querying incompletely aligned datasets
Torre-Bastida, Ana I.; Bermúdez de Andrés, Jesús; Illarramendi Echave, María Aránzazu ; González, Marta (2014-12-01)
More and more users aim at taking advantage of the existing Linked Open Data environment to formulate a query over a dataset and to then try to process the same query over different datasets, one after another, in order ... -
On downloading and using COIN-OR for solving linear/integer optimization problems
Pérez Sainz de Rozas, Gloria; Garín Martín, María Araceli (2010)
The aim of this technical report is to present some detailed explanations in order to help to use the open source software for optimization COIN-OR. In particular, we describe how to download, install and use the corresponding ... -

Pérez Sainz de Rozas, Gloria; Garín Martín, María Araceli (2011-11)
The aim of this technical report is to present some detailed explanations in order to use the solver CPLEX within COIN-OR environment. In particular, we describe how to download, install and use the corresponding source ... -
On monotonic core allocations for coalitional games whith veto players
(2007-10)We characterize a monotonic core concept defined on the class of veto balanced games. We also discuss what restricted versions of monotonicity are possible when selecting core allocations. We introduce a family of monotonic ... -
On solving two stage stochastic linear problems by using a new approach, Cluster Benders Decomposition
Aranburu Laka, Larraitz; Escudero Bueno, Laureano F.; Garín Martín, María Araceli; Pérez Sainz de Rozas, Gloria (2010-11)
The optimization of stochastic linear problems, via scenario analysis, based on Benders decomposition requires to appending feasibility and/or optimality cuts to the master problem until the iterative procedure reaches the ... -
On the application of estimation of distribution algorithms to multi-marker tagging SNP selection
Santana Hermida, Roberto; ; Zaitlen, Noah; Eskin, Eleazar; (2009)
This paper presents an algorithm for the automatic selection of a minimal subset of tagging single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) using an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA). The EDA stochastically searches the ... -
On the Benefits of Including Age-structure in Harvest Control Rules
(2014-08-27)This paper explores the benefits of including age-structure in the control rule (HCR) when decision makers regard their (age-structured) models as approximations. We find that introducing age structure into the HCR reduces ...
