Estimation of relative humidity in Mesoamerica and Caribbean region using satellite data
(2017)
This work addresses the estimation of the relative humidity (RH), which is related to the way the body reacts under extreme hot events, and in consequence has influence in human health. RH is commonly obtained from ground ...
Aplicación de las técnicas de componentes principales y componentes independientes como herramientas en los métodos de regresión lineal múltiple y clasificación no supervisada a partir de variables socio-económicas de Puerto Rico
(2015-06)
Studying the socio-economic aspect of Puerto Rico is of utmost importance for decision-making in the country. This thesis presents different findings, by applying the techniques of: Principal Components, Independent ...
Enfoque Bayesiano de un modelo semiparamétrico mixto con distribución Beta
(2017-05)
En este trabajo se propone un modelo semiparamétrico mixto con distribución beta con un enfoque bayesiano usando algoritmos de Monte Carlo vía Cadenas de Markov (MCMC, por sus siglas en inglés). En el modelo propuesto se ...
Tortuosity index based on dynamic mechanical properties of polyimide foam for aerospace application
(2014)
The aerospace industry has focused on the development of high performance polyimide foams because these materials are known for their thermal and acoustic insulation properties. Tortuosity is defined as a parameter that ...
