Two-Stage Nonparametric Regression for Longitudinal Data
Ferreira García, María Eva; Núñez Antón, Vicente Alfredo ; Rodríguez Poo, Juan M. (1999-01)
In the analysis of longitudinal data it is of main interest to investigate the existence of group and individual effects under correlated observations across time. In this paper, we develop a nonparametric two-step procedure ... -

Hoyos Ramos, David (2010)
This paper provides with a review of the state of the art of environmental valuation with discrete choice experiments (DCE). The growing body of literature on this field serves to emphasise the increasing role that DCE are ... -
Using network mesures to test evolved NK-landscapes
Santana Hermida, Roberto; ; (2012)
