To reveal the structure underlying two-way two-mode object by variable data, Mirkin (1987) has proposed an additive overlapping clustering model. This model implies an overlapping clustering of the objects and a reconstruction of the data, with the reconstructed variable profile of an object...

We propose a functional extension of fuzzy clusterwise regression, which estimates fuzzy memberships of clusters and regression coefficient functions for each cluster simultaneously. The proposed method permits dependent and/or predictor variables to be functional, varying over time, space, and...

Support vector machines (SVM) are becoming increasingly popular for the prediction of a binary dependent variable. SVMs perform very well with respect to competing techniques. Often, the solution of an SVM is obtained by switching to the dual. In this paper, we stick to the primal support vector...

Esta investigación construye un índice sobre el bienestar de los hogares, para seleccionar hogares en situación de pobreza, en los distintos subsidios que otorga el Estado en sus programas sociales. El índice estratifica entre los hogares con bajo nivel de bienestar según grado de...

The new index of living conditions is a multivariate standard of living index estimated by qualitative principal components an it includes 15 variables of perception that distringuish it from the ILC estimated for Colombia. these new variables enrich the actual discussion about the relevancy of...

This document seeks to show the main properties of a standard of living index using the theoretical approach of Amartya Sen. We establish the link among concepts such as: welfare, well-being, agency achievement and standard of living. Optimal scaling methodology was fundamental in order to test...
