A boosting-based machine learning algorithm is presented to model a binary response with large imbalance, i.e., a rare event. The new method (i) reduces the prediction error of the rare class, and (ii) approximates an econometric model that allows in...
This paper examines the added value of a digital tool that constitutes a new model to introduce students to multiplication. Drawing on the theory of semiotic mediation, the semiotic potential of this new model is analysed with respect to the same tas...
Various Monte Carlo techniques for random point generation over sets of interest are widely used in many areas of computational mathematics, optimization, data processing, etc. Whereas for regularly shaped sets such sampling is immediate to arrange,...
The analysis of population-wide datasets can provide insight on the health status of large populations so that public health officials can make data-driven decisions. The analysis of such datasets often requires highly parameterized models with diffe...
We studied a particular class of well known error-correcting codes known as Reed–Solomon codes. We constructed RS codes as algebraic-geometric codes from the normal rational curve. This approach allowed us to study some algebraic representations of R...
This paper reconsiders a powerful man-in-the-middle attack against Random-HB# and HB# authentication protocols, two prominent representatives of the HB family of protocols, which are built based on the Learning Parity in Noise (LPN) problem. A recent...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak has altered the lives of everyone on a global scale due to its high transmission rate. In the current work, the droplet dispersion and evaporation originated by a cough at different velocities is studi...
In this paper, we computed general interval indicators of availability and reliability for systems modelled by time non-homogeneous semi-Markov chains. First, we considered duration-dependent extensions of the Interval Reliability and then, we determ...
The design of switched reluctance motor (SRM) is considered a complex problem to be solved using conventional design techniques. This is due to the large number of design parameters that should be considered during the design process. Therefore, opti...
Nanoplates have been extensively utilized in the recent years for applications in nanoengineering as sensors and actuators. Due to their operative nanoscale, the mechanical behavior of such structures might also be influenced by inter-atomic material...
