Este artículo pretende proporcionar un panorama general de la computación evolutiva, sus orígenes, sus paradigmas principales y algunas de sus aplicaciones en Economía y Finanzas. Se discuten, entre otras cosas, los descubrimientos científicos más importantes que originaron el denominado...

This paper, involved in the area of evolutive computing, presents the development of a Genetic Algorithm in finding the optimal parameters of a Cox Regression Model for patients of the Service of Peritoneal Dialysis of the “Hospital Clínico Universitario de Caracas”between 1980 and 2002,...

This study analyzes the capacity of multivariated models constructed from genetic algorithms and artificial neural networks to predict the sign of the weekly variations of the Asian stock-market indexes Nikkei225, Hang Seng, Shanghai Composite, Seoul Comp

En este trabajo se propone la utilización de un algoritmo genético para la optimización del corte continuo de planchas de cartón, un problema habitual en la industria cartonera, donde la minimización de mermas de materia prima y el cumplimiento de los plazos de fabricación son dos...

Facing an hypothetical, but increasingly, case of default risk on a mortgage or a fall in interest rates, an important issue raised by the borrower is the possibility of minimizing that risk by selecting the best refinancing option. In this paper, a mortgage refinancing model is presented,...
