Recent advances in healthcare technologies have led to the availability of large amounts of biological samples across several techniques and applications. In particular, in the last few years, Raman spectroscopy analysis of biological samples has been successfully applied for early-stage...

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods, particularly TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and VIKOR (VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje) (Multicriteria Optimization and Compromise Solution), are extensively used in logistics for...

In this paper, we propose a novel optimization model for portfolio selection that integrates the classical mean-variance criterion with a second-order Tsallis entropy term. This approach enables a trade-off between expected return, risk, and diversification, extending Markowitz's theory to...

Wage growth is a key indicator of labor market conditions, but common measures often conflate individual wage changes with shifts in workforce composition. This paper develops a composition-adjusted measure of wage growth using nonparametric decomposition and program evaluation methods. The...
