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...

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,...

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 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

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,...

This paper develops and estimates a dynamic structural model of participation in the risky financial asset markets using household level panel data. We specify a simple economic model in order to capture the portfolio choice over the life cycle. We solve the model using numerical techniques....

By influencing her specific labor occupation choice major choices greatly condition the allocation of an individual’s time. Previous economic analysis on the subject has emphasized monetary considerations affecting such a decision, but has been relatively less incisive regarding non pecuniary...
