In many education systems around the world, the problem of school dropout is widespread. Identifying students at a higher risk of dropping out is crucial in developing settings, where the cost of preventive interventions is a major concern. By using individual-level administrative data on school enrollment in rural Antioquia, Colombia, I apply supe...

In recent years, supervised classification has been used to support or even replace human decisions in high stakes domains. The training of these algorithms uses historical data which might be biased against individuals with certain sensitive attributes. The increasing concern about potential biases has motivated anti-discrimination laws prohibitin...

We propose a method to reduce the complexity of Generalized Linear Models in the presence of categorical predictors. The traditional one-hot encoding, where each category is represented by a dummy variable, can be wasteful, difficult to interpret, and prone to overfitting, especially when dealing with high-cardinality categorical predictors. This p...

In this paper, our goal is to enhance the interpretability of Generalized Linear Models by identifying the most relevant interactions between categorical predictors. In the presence of categorical predictors, searching for interaction effects can quickly become a highly combinatorial problem when we have many categorical predictors or even a few, b...

Poster
Research was institutionalized in Colombian universities around fifty years ago with the creation of government institutions to stimulate this activity, and the support of loans from the Inter-American Development Bank –IDB- that were used to start building scientific and technological capabilities (Bucheli et al., 2012; CINDA, 2012; OECD & The Wor...
Thesis
Full-text available
Se analiza la formación de coaliciones regionales durante una de las fases de la votación del Plan Nacional de Inversiones Públicas con ayuda del concepto de pork barrel; y se realiza una propuesta metodológica para estudiar dichas coaliciones con la teoría de juegos simples, utilizando los índices de Shapley-Shubick y Banzhaf en la determinación c...
