HDBSCAN*, a state-of-the-art density-based hierarchical clustering method, produces a hierarchical organization of clusters in a dataset w.r.t. a parameter mpts. While the performance of HDBSCAN* is robust w.r.t. mpts, choosing a "good" value for it can be challenging: depending on the data distribution, a high or low value for mpts may be more appropriate, and certain data clusters may...

A nightmarish list of empirically proposed drivers affecting Information System (IS) adoption, and the limitation of measurements focusing their applicability in Latin America (LAT) economies is an issue. This causes uncertainty in the decision making process of which model and proposed drivers should be used to measure Successful Information System Adoption (SISA) in local public organizations, particularly...
The application of information systems (IS) for supporting human resources management has become increasingly important for organizations in improving their competitiveness. The selection of the most suitable human resources management IS project, however, is complex and challenging due to the involvement of multiple decision makers, the multi-dimensional nature of the selection process and the presence...
