We study the Latent Dirichlet Allocation model, a popular Bayesian algorithm for text analysis. We show that the model's parameters are not identified, which suggests that the choice of prior matters. We characterize the range of values that the posterior mean of a given functional of the...

In the Multi-Commodity two-echelon Distribution Problem (MC2DP), multiple commodities are distributed in a two-echelon distribution system involving suppliers, distribution centres and customers. Each supplier may provide different commodities and each customer may request several commodities as...

Surface reflectances are important for monitoring land surfaces properties state and their changes. Two rectified channels were already operationally delivered in two bands as side products of Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR) using the Sentinel 3 Ocean Land Colour...

This report describes the algorithm to disaggregate regional crop area statistics in Europe, at all NUTS and GAUL administrative levels and onto a regular grid of 25 km. This algorithm is necessary to aggregate crop indicators in the MARS Crop Yield Forecasting System (MCYFS) from the original...

Disasters are unforeseen occurrences requiring extensive transport deployment to support and relieve victims. Sometimes, this transportation is not feasible directly from some supply points to some destination points. Due to this tragedy, it is unclear precisely what is available at supply...

By applying machine learning algorithms, predictive business process monitoring (PBPM) techniques provide an opportunity to counteract undesired outcomes of processes. An especially complex variation of business processes is the engineering change (EC) process. Here, failing to adhere to planned...

Maintenance strategies are vital for industrial and manufacturing systems. This study considers a proactive maintenance strategy and emphasizes using analytics and data science. We propose an Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) methodology for predictive maintenance. The proposed method...
