Modellation and Forecast of Traffic Series by a Stochastic Process
Traffic in a road point is counted, by a device, for more than 1 year, giving us time series. The obtained data have a trend with a clear seasonality. This allows us to split taking each season (1 week or 1 da...

The Uncertainty Quandary: A Study in the Context of the Evolutionary Optimization in Games and Other Uncertain Environments
In many optimization processes, the fitness or the considered measure of goodness for the candidate solutions presents uncertainty, that is, it yields different values when repeatedly measured, due to the nature ...

A Statistical Approach to Dealing with Noisy Fitness in Evolutionary Algorithms
In most computer games as in life, the outcome of a match is uncertain due to several reasons: the characters or assets appear in different initial positions or the response of the player, even if programmed, ...

Comparing Optimization Methods, in Continuous Space, for Modelling with a Diffusion Process
Many probabilistic models are frequently used for natural growth-patterns modelling and their forecasting such as the diffusion processes. The maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of a diffusion pro...

Comparing Some Estimate Methods in a Gompertz-Lognormal Diffusion Process
This paper compares four different methods to obtain maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters of a Gompertz-lognormal diffusion process, where no analytical solution for the likelihood equations exists. ...

A New Diffusion Process to Epidemic Data
In this paper, a new non-homogeneous diffusion process is introduced, which is a combination between a Gompertz-type and a lognormal diffusion process, so that the mean function is a mixture between Gompertz a...

Preventing the Impact of Marital Dissolutions in Children by Regression Techniques
The process of marital dissolution is a crisis that affects both the couple and their offspring. Many studies have shown how children involved in a marital dissolution could present less adaptation abilities a...
