Agent-based models (ABMs) are gaining increasing traction in several domains, due to their ability to represent complex systems that are not easily expressible with classical mathematical models. This expressivity and richness come at a cost: ABMs can typically be analyzed only through...

This paper presents a distribution-free test, based on the permutation approach, on treatment effects with a multivariate categorical response variable. The motivating example is a typical case-control biomedical study, performed to investigate the effect of the treatment called "assisted motor...

In statistical analysis, evaluating the normality of large datasets is crucial for validating parametric tests, particularly in areas such as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements, where data often exhibit non-normal characteristics resulting from their variability and errors....

Data is an essential fuel for artificial intelligence (AI) to power the underlying machine learning (ML) algorithms. Missing data is common in most real-world datasets due to measurement errors, non-responses, and human errors during the data collection, which can ultimately lead to reduced...
