    Quantitative trading has revolutionized in recent years with the integration of machine learning. However, most proposals are complex models that often need help with model understanding and feature importance identification. This study presents a methodology for optimizing investment portfolios using the XGBoost algorithm and a comprehensive set of technical indicators. The primary objective is to maximize returns by accurately predicting stock prices and selecting the most profitable stocks. Our proposal is based on decision trees, eliminating the need for recurrent neural networks or time series representations of data and enabling white-box machine learning models that are easier to interpret. We tried our proposal with real data corresponding to a collection of stocks of the 500 most influential companies in the United States of America, utilizing historical data such as open prices, highest and lowest prices, and trading volume. Experimental results demonstrated that our approach successfully identified the most profitable stocks, outperforming random portfolios and showing significant profit accumulation over time. This approach recognizes the most feasible indicators and facilitates the automatic design of investment portfolios and the analysis of the importance of technical indicators in complex data.

    <jats:p>Balancing mechanisms require the minimization of both the Shaking Moment (ShM) and Shaking Force (ShF), a complex multi-criteria challenge often tackled using single-objective algorithms. However, these methods face difficulties in navigating competing objectives. In contrast, multi-objective algorithms provide a more efficient and adaptable framework, while Fully Cartesian Coordinates (FCC) simplify the balancing equations compared to conventional Cartesian formulations. This study focuses on optimizing the dynamic balance of a six-bar Watt linkage using FCC. A wide set of optimization methods is analyzed and compared, and among them, the S-Metric Selection Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization Algorithm (SMS-EMOA) demonstrates superior performance. This algorithm achieves the most significant hypervolume value in only 10.44 min of execution. The results indicate that multi-objective algorithms outperform single-objective approaches, offering faster and more diverse optimization solutions. Additionally, this study introduces an analytical method that enables the straightforward identification of removable counterweights, achieving an equally effective balance while minimizing the number of counterweights required.</jats:p>

    <jats:p>Insects are currently of interest due to their high nutritional value, in particular for the high concentration of quality protein. Moreover, it can also be used as an extender or binder in meat products. The objective was to evaluate grasshopper flour (GF) as a partial or total replacement for potato starch to increase the protein content of sausages and achieve good acceptability by consumers. GF has 48% moisture, 6.7% fat and 45% total protein. Sausages were analyzed by NIR and formulations with GF in all concentrations (10, 7, 5 and 3%) combined with starch (3, 5 and 7%) increased protein content. Results obtained for the sausages formulations with grasshoppers showed an increase in hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness through a Texture-Profile-Analysis. Moreover, a* and b* are similar to the control, but L* decreased. The check-all-that-apply test showed the attributes highlighted for sausages with GF possessed herbal flavor, brown color, and granular texture. The liking-product-landscape map showed that the incorporation of 7 and 10% of GF had an overall liking of 3.2 and 3.3, respectively, considered as “do not like much”. GF can be used as a binder in meat products up to 10% substitution. However, it is important to improve the overall liking of the sausage.</jats:p>

    Damage Importance Analysis for Pavement Condition Index Using Machine-Learning Sensitivity Analysis

    <jats:p>The Pavement Condition Index (PCI) is a prevalent metric for assessing the condition of rigid pavements. The PCI calculation involves evaluating 19 types of damage. This study aims to analyze how different types of damage impact the PCI calculation and the impact of the performance of prediction models of PCI by reducing the number of evaluated damages. The Municipality of León, Gto., Mexico, provided a dataset of 5271 records. We evaluated five different decision-tree models to predict the PCI value. The Extra Trees model, which exhibited the best performance, was used to assess the feature importance of each type of damage, revealing their relative impacts on PCI predictions. To explore the potential for reducing the complexity of the PCI evaluation, we applied Sequential Forward Search and Brute Force Search techniques to analyze the performance of models with various feature combinations. Our findings indicate no significant statistical difference in terms of Mean Absolute Error (MAE) and the coefficient of determination (R2) between models trained with 13 features compared to those trained with all 17 features. For instance, a model using only eight damages achieved an MAE of 4.35 and an R2 of 0.89, comparable to the 3.56 MAE and 0.92 R2 obtained with a model using all 17 features. These results suggest that omitting some damages from the PCI calculation has a minimal impact on prediction accuracy but can substantially reduce the evaluation’s time and cost. In addition, knowing the most significant damages opens up the possibility of automating the evaluation of PCI using artificial intelligence.</jats:p>
