    • 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 ...
    • Maldonado, Sebastián; Armelini, Guillermo; Guevara Cue, Cristián (IOS Press, 2017)
      Recruiting prospective students efficiently and effectively is a very important challenge for universities, mainly because of the increasing competition and the relevance of enrollment-generated revenues. This work provides ...
    • Jiménez Cordero, Asunción; Maldonado Alarcón, Sebastián (Springer, 2020)
      Functional Data Analysis (FDA) has become a very important eld in recent years due to its wide range of applications. However, there are several real-life applications in which hybrid functional data appear, i.e., data ...
    • Maldonado, Sebastián; Montoya Moreira, Ricardo; López, Julio (Springer, 2017)
      This paper presents a novel embedded feature selection approach for Support Vector Machines (SVM) in a choice-based conjoint context. We extend the L1-SVM formulation and adapt the RFE-SVM algorithm to conjoint analysis ...
    • Maldonado, Sebastián; Pérez, Juan; Weber, Richard; Labbé, Martine (Elsevier, 2014)
      The performance of classification methods, such as Support Vector Machines, depends heavily on the proper choice of the feature set used to construct the classifier. Feature selection is an NP-hard problem that has been ...
    • Tapia, Juan E.; Pérez Flores, Claudio; Bowyer, Kevin Kevin W. (IEEE-Inst Electrical Electronics Engineers, 2016)
      Previous researchers have explored various approaches for predicting the gender of a person based on the features of the iris texture. This paper is the first to predict gender directly from the same binary iris code that ...
    • Thakkar, Ishani; Massardo Vega, Lucia Teresa del Pilar; Pereira, Jaime; Quintana, Juan Carlos; Risco Neira, Luis Eduardo; Sáez, Claudia G; Corral, Sebastián; Villa, Carolina; Spuler Villarroel, Jane Grace; Olivares, Nixa; Valenzuela, Guillermo; Castro, Gabriel; Riedel de Juan, Byron Esteban; Vicentini, Daniel; Muñoz, Diego; Lastra, Raúl; Rodríguez Fernández, María (MDPI, 2021)
      Statins are widely used as an effective therapy for ischemic vascular disorders and employed for primary and secondary prevention in cardiac and cerebrovascular diseases. Their hemostatic mechanism has also been shown ...
    • Maldonado Alarcón, Sebastián Alejandro; Carrizosa P., Emilio; Weber, Richard (Elsevier, 2015)
      We present an unsupervised method that selects the most relevant features using an embedded strategy while maintaining the cluster structure found with the initial feature set. It is based on the idea of simultaneously ...
    • Moguilner, Sebastian; Birba, Agustina; Fittipaldi, Sol; González Campos, Cecilia; Tagliazucchi, Enzo Rodolfo; Reyes, Pablo; Matallana, Diana; Parra, Mario A.; Slachevsky Chonchol, Andrea María; Farías Gontupil, Gonzalo Andrés; Cruzat Grand, Josefina; García, Adolfo; Eyre, Harris A.; La Joie, Renaud; Rabinovici, Gil; Whelan, Robert; Ibáñez, Agustín (IOP Publishing, 2022)
      Objective. The differential diagnosis of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) remains challenging in underrepresented, underdiagnosed groups, including Latinos, as advanced ...
    • Maldonado, Sebastián; Flores, Álvaro; Verbraken, Thomas; Baesens, Bart; Weber, Richard (Elsevier, 2015)
      Churn prediction is an important application of classification models that identify those customers most likely to attrite based on their respective characteristics described by e.g. socio-demographic and behavioral ...
    • Vergara, Jorge R.; Estévez Valencia, Pablo (Springer, 2014)
      In this work, we present a review of the state of the art of information-theoretic feature selection methods. The concepts of feature relevance, redundance, and complementarity (synergy) are clearly defined, as well ...
    • Pérez Flores, Claudio; Saravia, Jacob A.; Navarro, Carlos F.; Schulz, Daniel A.; Aravena, Carlos M.; Galdames, Francisco J. (Elsevier, 2015)
      Estimation of rock composition in mining plants is important for determining rock size and grindability which, in turn, may improve control of the grinding process. Variations in ore grindability and size distribution ...
    • Maldonado, Sebastián; López, Julio; Jiménez Molina, Ángel; Lira, Hernán (Elsevier, 2020)
      In this study, an expert system is presented for analyzing the mental workload of interacting with a mobile phone while facing common daily tasks. Psychophysiological signals were collected from various devices, each ...
    • Valente, José Manuel; Maldonado Alarcón, Sebastián (Elsevier, 2020)
      n this paper, we propose a novel support vector regression (SVR) approach for time series analysis. An efficient forward feature selection strategy has been designed for dealing with high-frequency time series with multiple ...
