2018 , Rodríguez Aguilar, Román , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio , Vasant, Pandian

To propose a satisfaction indicator of users of health services affiliated to the Social Protection System in Health (SPSS). Identify the effect of the main factors that are directly related to the satisfaction level and perception of quality of health services. A machine-learning model based on Logistic Models and Principal Components was developed to estimate a satisfaction index. The survey data collected for the “SPSS 2014 User’s Satisfaction Study” was used, considering a sample of 28,290 users. The proposed model shows, in general, the positive perception of quality of health services (national average 0.0756). There are factors statistically significant that influence these results, the good perception of infrastructure (OR:2.12; CI 95%:1.9–2.36); the gratuity of the service provided (OR:1.98; CI 95%: 1.42–2.76); and full medicines supply (OR:1.81; CI 95%:1.91–2.36). The proposed index can be used as an indicator for improving health care quality of the population covered by the SPSS. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Identification of Trading Strategies Using Markov Chains and Statistical Learning Tools

2021 , Rodríguez Aguilar, Román , Marmolejo Saucedo, José Antonio

Technological advances have modified many operational and strategic areas in companies, the financial sector has been one of the sectors highly influenced by the methods of artificial intelligence and machine learning. The operation in the stock exchanges have used more technological tools to process information and be able to make investment decisions. The main objective is to be able to detect buying and selling opportunities at the right time. Stock markets have traditionally based their decisions on two major approaches, technical analysis and fundamental analysis, with new machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies, these paradigms have been updated making use of additional tools for their analysis. The present work is a proposal for the detection of trading signals in the markets through the use of Markov models and generalized additive models. In order to identify investment opportunities in the stock markets. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
