This paper addresses interactive one-machine sequencing situations in which the costs of processing a job are given by an exponential function of its completion time. The main difference with the standard ...
Inulin-rich foods exert a prebiotic effect, as this polysaccharide is able to enhance beneficial colon microbiota populations, giving rise to the in situ production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) such ...
Background and Objectives: Diabetes is a chronic and metabolic disease, considered as an important public health problem. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence of podiatric pathology ...
In this paper, we analyze bankruptcy problems with nontransferable utility (NTU) from a game theoretical perspective by redefining corresponding NTU-bankruptcy games in a tailor-made way. It is shown that ...
The Internet emerged as a powerful infrastructure for the worldwide communication and interaction of people. Some unethical uses of this technology (for instance spam or viruses) generated challenges in ...
This paper addresses interactive one-machine sequencing situations in which the costs of processinga job are given by an exponential function of its completion time. The main difference with thestandard ...
In this paper we deal with production situations where a cap or limit to the amount of greenhouse gas emissions permitted is imposed. Fixing a tax for each ton of pollutant emitted is also considered. ...
The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve is a graphical method which has become standard in the analysis of diagnostic markers, that is, in the study of the classification ability of a numerical ...
In the last decades, multiple-testing problems have received much attention. Many different methods have been proposed in order to deal with this relevant issue. Most of them are focused on controlling ...
Inventory management of goods is an integral part of logistics systems; common to various economic sectors such as industry, agriculture and trade; and independent of production volume. In general, as ...
Receiver operating-characteristic curve is a popular graphical method frequently used in order to study the diagnostic capacity of continuous (bio)markers. In spite of the existence of a huge number of ...
Building prediction models based on complex omics datasets such as transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics remains a challenge in bioinformatics and biostatistics. Regularized regression techniques are ...
In this paper we analyse multi-agent inventory systems where each agent has a deterministic demand and a capacitated warehouse with constant holding costs. Additionally, shortages are not allowed, the ...
A multi-agent inventory problem is a situation in which several agents face individual inventory problems and can coordinate their orders to reduce costs. This paper analyses a multi-agent inventory problem ...
The sequential goodness-of-fit (SGoF) multiple testing method has recently been proposed as an alternative to the familywise error rate-And the false discovery rate-controlling procedures in high-dimensional ...
In this work, some properties of the L2-deviations of the Nadaraya-Watson variogram estimators are analyzed, for both the anisotropic and the isotropic settings. Their convergence in distribution is established, ...
Adjustment for spatial trends in plant breeding field trials is essential for efficient evaluation and selection of genotypes. Current mixed model methods of spatial analysis are based on a multi-step ...
This paper analyzes the 1-nucleolus and, in particular, its relation to the nucleolus. It is seen that, contrary to the nucleolus, the 1-nucleolus can be computed in polynomial time due to a characterization ...
The airport problem is a classic cost allocation problem that has been widely studied. Several rules have been proposed to divide the total cost among the agents, attending to the characteristics of the ...
In a cooperative game with transferable utility, it is usually assumed that all coalitions are equally feasible. However, if we deal with cooperative games with coalition configuration, only some coalitions ...
In longitudinal studies of disease, patients may experience several events through a follow-up period. In these studies, the sequentially ordered events are often of interest and lead to problems that ...
An approach to define a rule for an airport problem is to associate to each problem a cooperative game, an airport game, and using game theory to come out with a solution. In this paper, we study the rule ...
This paper discusses games where cooperation is restricted by a hierarchical structure. The model assumes that there is a hierarchy between certain coalitions given by a partition. Face games (González-Díaz ...
In this paper we analyze a situation in which several firms deal with inventory problems concerning the same type of product. We consider that each firm uses its limited capacity warehouse for storing ...
One major goal in clinical applications of multi-state models is the estimation of transition probabilities. The usual nonparametric estimator of the transition matrix for non-homogeneous Markov processes ...
The sequential goodness-of-fit (SGoF) multiple testing method has recently been proposed as an alternative to the familywise error rate- and the false discovery rate-controlling procedures in highdimensional ...
One of the main goals of this paper is to improve the understanding of the way in which the core of a specific cooperative game, the airport game (Littlechild and Owen, Manag Sci 20:370–372, 1973), responds ...
In this paper we present a new R package called sgof for multiple hypothesis testing. The principal aim of this package is to implement SGoF-type multiple testing methods, known to be more powerful than ...
A centralized inventory problem is a situation in which several agents face individual
inventory problems and make an agreement to coordinate their orders with the objective of reducing costs. In this ...
In this paper we propose a context-specific cost allocation rule for inventory transportation systems. We consider the setting defined in Fiestras-Janeiro et al. (2012) [3] and propose a new cost allocation ...
In a recent paper (de Uña-Álvarez, 2012, Statistical Applications in Genetics and Molecular Biology Vol. 11, Iss. 3, Article 14) a correction of SGoF multitesting method for possibly dependent tests was ...
This paper introduces a new class of games, highway games, which arise from situations where there is a common resource that agents will jointly use. That resource is an ordered set of several indivisible ...
Recent years have witnessed a growing use of terrestrial laser scanners to determine the geometry of tunnels, although the companies that perform this task do not, as a rule, apply a methodology that enables ...
In this paper, we deal with the cost allocation problem arising in an inventory transportation system with a single item and multiple agents that place joint orders using an EOQ policy. In our problem, ...
A question that tends to arise in multiple regression models (with p variables), and that has not been totally satisfactory solved, is to determine the best subset or subsets of q q≤p) predictors which ...

The objective of this paper is to provide a general view of the literature of applications of transferable utility cooperative games to cost allocation problems. This literature is so large that we concentrate ...
Recently, an exact binomial test called SGoF (Sequential Goodness-of-Fit) has been introduced as a new method for handling high dimensional testing problems. SGoF looks for statistical significance when ...
