Summary

The main goal of this thesis consists in studying modelling approaches that can handle different types of data dependencies. This involves studying, developing and evaluating methodologies that are able to cope with different classes of contextual dependencies in such a way that this information is taken into account when obtaining predictive models. Different types of data dependencies will be considered in this study, ranging from simple temporal dependencies to more complex contextual information.
