The project focuses on the following objectives:

• Database processing of industrial processes and clinical trials in health care.
• Development and implementation of algorithms for the optimization of industrial processes using multivariate and functional regression models.
• Development and implementation of outlier detection algorithms, based on multivariate and functional techniques, for industrial batch process monitoring.
• Development and implementation of new techniques, based on functional regression models, to address the problem of synchronization of sample trajectories in industrial batch process monitoring.
• Development of new functional models for real-time prediction of the quality indicator of an industrial process.
• Multivariate statistical control of block processes using the Sequential Multi-block PLS (SMBPLS) technique.
• Study of the performance and properties of different variable selection techniques in predictive (soft sensors) and classification models in big data environments.
• Development and implementation of new alternatives for the analysis of magnetic resonance data (three- dimensional arrays) using functional data analysis techniques. 

 POSITION OVERVIEW:

• Position: Researcher (PhD Thesis or Postdoctoral).
• Duration: untill August 31st 2027 (PhD Thesis) and 2 years (Postdoctoral).
• Location: Department of Applied Statistics and Operations Research and Quality (Universitat Politècnica de València).
