    A Hybrid Genetic Algorithm-Random Forest Regression Method for Optimum Driver Selection in Online Food Delivery

    The online food delivery trend has become rapid due to the COVID-19 incident, which limited mobility, while the broader challenge in the online food delivery system is maximizing quality of service (QoS). However, studies show that driver selection and delivery time are important in customer satisfaction. The solution is our research aim, which is the selection of optimal drivers for online food delivery using random forest regression and the genetic algorithm (GA) method. Our research contribution is a novel approach to minimizing delivery time in online food delivery by combining a random forest regression model and genetic algorithms. We compare random forest regression with three other state-of-the-art regression models: linear regression, k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) regression. We compare the four models with metrics including , mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean total error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). We use the optimum model as the fitness function in GA. The test results show that random forest performs better than linear, KNN, and AdaBoost regression, with an , RMSE, and MAE value of 0.98, 54.3, and 11, respectively. We leverage the optimum random forest regression model as the GA fitness function. The best efficiency is reducing the delivery time from 54 to 15 minutes, achieved through rigorous testing on various cases. In addition, by completing this research, we also achieve some practical implications, such as an increase in customer satisfaction, a reduction in cost, and a paramount finding in the field of data-driven decision-making. The first key finding is an optimum driver selection model in random forest regression, while the second is an optimum driver selection model in GA

    Development of data processing methods for high resolution mass spectrometry-based metabolomics with an application to human liver transplantation

    Direct Infusion (DI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) mass spectrometry (MS) is becoming a popular measurement platform in metabolomics. This thesis aims to advance the data processing and analysis pipeline of the DI FT-ICR based metabolomics, and broaden its applicability to a clinical research. To meet the first objective, the issue of missing data that occur in a final data matrix containing metabolite relative abundances measured for each sample analysed, is addressed. The nature of these data and their effect on the subsequent data analyses are investigated. Eight common and/or easily accessible missing data estimation algorithms are examined and a three stage approach is proposed to aid the identification of the optimal one. Finally, a novel survival analysis approach is introduced and assessed as an alternative way of missing data treatment prior univariate analysis. To address the second objective, DI FT-ICR MS based metabolomics is assessed in terms of its applicability to research investigating metabolomic changes occurring in liver grafts throughout the human orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). The feasibility of this approach to a clinical setting is validated and its potential to provide a wealth of novel metabolic information associated with OLT is demonstrated

    Predicting Flavonoid UGT Regioselectivity with Graphical Residue Models and Machine Learning.

    Machine learning is applied to a challenging and biologically significant protein classification problem: the prediction of flavonoid UGT acceptor regioselectivity from primary protein sequence. Novel indices characterizing graphical models of protein residues are introduced. The indices are compared with existing amino acid indices and found to cluster residues appropriately. A variety of models employing the indices are then investigated by examining their performance when analyzed using nearest neighbor, support vector machine, and Bayesian neural network classifiers. Improvements over nearest neighbor classifications relying on standard alignment similarity scores are reported

We compare random forest regression with three other state-of-the-art regression models: linear regression, k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and adaptive boosting (AdaBoost) regression. We compare the four models with metrics including r^2, mean squared error (MSE), root mean squared error (RMSE), mean total error (MAE), and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE).

    Foreword: Congratulation to IGS on your continuous efforts to publish the 12th issue of the Doctoral Research Abstracts which highlights research in various disciplines from science and technology, business and administration to social sciences and humanities. This research abstract features the abstracts from 71 PhD doctorates who will receive their scrolls in this 87th UiTM momentous convocation ceremony. To the 71 doctorates, you have most certainly done UiTM proud by journeying through the scholarly world with its endless challenges and obstacles, and by persevering right till the very end. Graduands, your success in achieving the highest academic qualification has demonstrated that you have indeed engineered your destiny well. The action of registering for a PhD program was not by chance but by choice. It was a choice made to realise your self-actualization level that is the highest level in Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs, while at the same time unleashing your potential in scholarly research. Again, congratulations to all PhD graduates. As you leave the university as alumni we hope a new relationship will be fostered between you and the faculty in soaring UiTM to greater heights. I wish you all the best in your future endeavor. Keep UiTM close to your heart and be our ambassador wherever you go. / Prof Emeritus Dato’ Dr Hassan Said Vice Chancellor Universiti Teknologi MAR
