Hierarchical optimal designs and modeling for engineering: A case‐study in the rail sector
Applied Stochastic Models in Business and Industry, Volume 38, Issue 6, Page 1061-1078, November/December 2022., 2022 Abstract Complex engineering and technological processes typically generate data with a non‐trivial hierarchical structure. To this end, in this article we propose a full procedure for optimizing such processes through optimal experimental designs and modeling. In order to study a hierarchical structure, several types of experimental factors may arise,

On the Normalized Herfindahl-Hirschman Index: A Technical Note
International Journal on Food System Dynamics, 2016 We compare the application of two different normalization procedures for the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index. We show that structural differences exist between the two indices and derive the conditions for which these differences are more or less substantial.

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.Coacervation driven by liquid‐liquid phase separation (LLPS) of biopolymers has garnered increasing attention in biology since this leads to the formation of membraneless organelles capable of performing essential yet largely unknown functions. This review highlights recent advances in coacervates (artificial condensates) composed of low‐molecular ...
