    • Big data in multi-block data analysis: An approach to parallelizing Partial Least Squares Mode B algorithm 

      Martinez Ruiz, Alba; Montañola i Sales, Cristina (Heliyon, 2019-04-29)
      Partial Least Squares (PLS) Mode B is a multi-block method and a tightly coupled algorithm for estimating structural equation models (SEMs). Describing key aspects of parallel computing, we approach the ...

      Castillo Merino, David; Fernández Alarcón, Vicenç; Simó, Pep; Sallán Leyes, José María (Journal of Technology and Science Education. Vol 4, n.1 (2014), p.25-38, 2014)
      Existing literature on education and technology has frequently highlighted the usefulness of online discussion forums for distance courses; however, the majority of such investigations have focused their ...
    • Scaling-up multiobjective evolutionary clustering algorithms using stratification 

      Garcia Piquer, Alvaro; Bacardit, Jaume; Fornells Herrera, Albert; Golobardes, Elisabet (Pattern Recognition Letters, 2016-12-02)
      Multiobjective evolutionary clustering algorithms are based on the optimization of several objective functions that guide the search following a cycle based on evolutionary algorithms. Their capabilities ...
    • Tracking the behavior of players in a cost accounting simulation and identifying work patterns 

      González Sabaté, Lucinio; Olivé Tomàs, Antoni; Oriol, Josep; Cuadros, Jordi; Menacho, Joaquín (Procedia - Social and Behavioral Sciences Vol.182 (2015), p.203-212, 2015-05-13)
      This paper summarizes the results of using two Excel-based simulations run on a cost accounting course to instruct about the contribution margin. Students’ learning has been assessed using achievement ...
