    • Advanced conjoint analysis using feature selection via support vector machines 
      Maldonado, Sebastián; Montoya Moreira, Ricardo; Weber, Richard (Elsevier, 2015)
      One of the main tasks of conjoint analysis is to identify consumer preferences about potential products or services. Accordingly, different estimation methods have been proposed to determine the corresponding relevant ...
    • Aggregation heuristic for the open-pit block scheduling problem 
      Jélvez, Enrique; Morales, Nelson; Nancel Penard, Pierre; Peypouquet, Juan; Reyes, Patricio (Elsevier, 2016)
      In order to establish a production plan, an open-pit mine is partitioned into a three-dimensional array of blocks. The order in which blocks are extracted and processed has a dramatic impact on the economic value of the ...
    • Choosing performance measures for incentive compensation: experimental evidence 
      Coronado Martínez, Freddy; Cancino del Castillo, Christian (Emerald, 2016)
      Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to explain how two task characteristics and two individual differences influence which heuristics individuals use, and as a results explain their decision performance when choosing ...
    • Modeling strategies for effectively routing freight trains through complex networks 
      Murali, Pavankumar; Ordóñez Pizarro, Fernando; Dessouky, Maged (2016)
      An important factor in an efficient operation of freight railroad companies is their ability to obtain routes and schedules that improve rail network capacity utilization. In this paper we present a decision tool to aid ...
    • On Bilevel Optimization with Inexact Follower 
      Zare, M. Hosein; Prokopyev, Oleg A.; Saure, Denis (Informs, 2020)
      Traditionally, in the bilevel optimization framework, a leader chooses her actions by solving an upper-level problem, assuming that a follower chooses an optimal reaction by solving a lower-level problem. However, in many ...
    • Sports scheduling and other topics in sports analytics: a survey with special reference to Latin America 
      Durán, Guillermo Alfredo (Springer, 2020)
      Recent years have witnessed vigorous development in the application of mathematical and computational techniques to many aspects of the organization and planning of sports competitions. Known as sports scheduling, this ...
    • Transit line structures in a general parametric city: The role of heuristics 
      Fielbaum, Andrés; Jara Díaz, Sergio; Gschwender, Antonio (INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences, 2018)
      The merits of selected heuristics to obtain transit line structures are analyzed, applying them on a synthetic parametric description of a symmetric city that allows representation of different city types (mostly monocentric, ...
    • Website quality: an analysis of scientific production 
      Morales Vargas, Alejandro; Pedraza Jiménez, Rafael; Codina, Lluís (EPI SCP, 2020)
      A range of different methods and tools have been proposed by both academics and professionals in recent years for evaluating the quality of websites. Some are of general application and can be used to assess any type of ...
