The aim of this study was to determine the effects of the cooperative ``jigsaw'' method on generic competence-based training by university students. This specifically sought to understand how systemic, instrumental and interpersonal competences are more easily acquired by adopting ``jigsaw'' in...

Gaussian graphical models are recently used in economics to obtain networks of dependence among agents. A widely-used estimator is the Graphical Lasso (GLASSO), which amounts to a maximum likelihood estimation regularized using the L1,1 matrix norm on the precision matrix Ω. The L1,1 norm is a...

A bipartite graph, in which the nodes (or actors in a social network) are partitioned into two sets, can be studied using recent statistical models for dyadic interactions. These models, which are loglinear for the probabilities of dyadic choices or interactions, allow not only arcs or...
