Clustering-based measurement of dependence
A measure of the dependence of a multivariate response variable upon a categorical variable is introduced. Its characteristics are explored via simulations by referring to a specific mixture association model. Inferential aspects are investigated using a permutation test approach. We present preliminary results

Comparison of Different Methods of Automated Landform Classification at the Drainage Basin Scale: Examples from the Southern Italy
In this work, we tested the reliability of two different methods of
automated landform classification (ACL) in three geological domains of the
southern Italian chain with contrasting morphological features. ACL maps
deriving from the TPI-based (topographic position index) algorithm are strictly
dependent to the search input parameters and they are not able to fully capture
landforms of different size. Geomorphons-based classification has shown a
higher potential and can represent a powerful method of ACL, although it
should be improved with the introduction of additional DEM-based parameters
for the extraction of landform classe

Towards a consolidation of worldwide journal rankings - A classification using random forests and aggregate rating via data envelopment analysis
AbstractThe question of how to assess research outputs published in journals is now a global concern for academics. Numerous journal ratings and rankings exist, some featuring perceptual and peer-review-based journal ranks, some focusing on objective information related to citations, some using a combination of the two. This research consolidates existing journal rankings into an up-to-date and comprehensive list. Existing approaches to determining journal rankings are significantly advanced with the application of a new classification approach, ‘random forests’, and data envelopment analysis. As a result, a fresh look at a publication׳s place in the global research community is offered. While our approach is applicable to all management and business journals, we specifically exemplify the relative position of ‘operations research, management science, production and operations management’ journals within the broader management field, as well as within their own subject domain
