In this paper, we simultaneously use two different scales in the analysis of ordinal patterns to measure the complexity of the dynamics of heartbeat time series. Rényi entropy and weighted Rényi entropy are the entropy-like measures proposed in the multiscale analysis in which, with the new scheme, four parameters are involved. First, the influence of the variation of the new parameters in the entropy values is analyzed when different groups of subjects (with cardiac diseases or healthy) are considered. Secondly, we exploit the introduction of multiscale analysis in order to detect differences between the groups.

In this study, we performed multi-objective model-based optimization of a potato-frying process balancing between acrylamide production and a quality parameter (yellowness). Solution analysis revealed that, for most of the Pareto solutions, acrylamide levels exceeded the EFSA recommendation. Almost equivalent optimal solutions were found for moderate processing conditions (low temperatures and/or processing times) and the propagation of the uncertainty of the acrylamide production model parameters led to Pareto fronts with notable differences from the one obtained using the nominal parameters, especially in the ranges of high values of acrylamide production and yellowness. These results can help to identify processing conditions to achieve the desired acrylamide/yellowness balance and design more robust processes allowing for the enhancement of flexibility when equivalent optimal solutions can be retrieved.
