Goal and shot prediction in ball possessions in FIFA Women’s World Cup 2023: a machine learning approach by Iyán Iván-Baragaño, Antonio Ardá, José L. Losada, Rubén Maneiro

“…The predictive capacity was tested using Random Forest and XGBoost and finally and SHAP values were calculated and visualized to understand the influence of the predictors.ResultsRandom Forest technique showed greater efficacy, with recall and sensitivity above 93% in the resampled dataset. However, recall on the original test sample was 13% (Success = Shot or Goal) and 0% (Success = Goal), demonstrating the models’ inability to predict rare events in football, such as goals. …”

Electrical Line Fault Detection and Line Cut-Off Equipment and Control by Yakun Fu

“…The experimental results show that 30 mA is preferred for the sensitivity of the leakage fault test signal. When the rated leakage action current is equal to or less than 30 mA, the protection action time is required to be less than 0.1 s, and when the rated leakage action current is greater than 30 mA, it is required to be less than 0.2 S. …”
