Applications of Fourier Transform to Smile Modeling - Theory and Implementation (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2010): Jianwei Zhu Applications of Fourier Transform to Smile Modeling - Theory and Implementation (Hardcover, 2nd ed. 2010)
Jianwei Zhu
R2,919 Discovery Miles 29 190 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book addresses the applications of Fourier transform to smile modeling. Smile effect is used generically by ?nancial engineers and risk managers to refer to the inconsistences of quoted implied volatilities in ?nancial markets, or more mat- matically, to the leptokurtic distributions of ?nancial assets and indices. Therefore, a sound modeling of smile effect is the central challenge in quantitative ?nance. Since more than one decade, Fourier transform has triggered a technical revolution in option pricing theory. Almost all new developed option pricing models, es- cially in connection with stochastic volatility and random jump, have extensively applied Fourier transform and the corresponding inverse transform to express - tion pricing formulas. The large accommodation of the Fourier transform allows for a very convenient modeling with a general class of stochastic processes and d- tributions. This book is then intended to present a comprehensive treatment of the Fourier transform in the option valuation, covering the most stochastic factors such as stochastic volatilities and interest rates, Poisson and Levy jumps, including some asset classes such as equity, FX and interest rates, and providing numerical ex- ples and prototype programming codes. I hope that readers will bene't from this book not only by gaining an overview of the advanced theory and the vast large l- erature on these topics, but also by gaining a ?rst-hand feedback from the practice on the applications and implementations of the theory."

The book's main focus is on one-dimensional models, including detailed treatments of unsteady and steady flows. The use of modern shock capturing finite difference and finite volume methods is described in detail, and the quality of solutions is carefully assessed on the basis of analytical and experimental results. The book's unique features include: * Rigorous derivation of the hydrostatic-based shallow water hydraulic models * Detailed treatment of steady open channel flows, including the computation of transcritical flow profiles * General analysis of gate maneuvers as the solution of a Riemann problem * Presents modern shock capturing finite volume methods for the computation of unsteady free surface flows * Introduces readers to movable bed and sediment transport in shallow water models* Includes numerical solutions of shallow water hydraulic models for non-hydrostatic steady and unsteady free surface flows This book is suitable for both undergraduate and graduate level students, given that the theory and numerical methods are progressively introduced starting with the basics. As supporting material, a collection of source codes written in Visual Basic and inserted as macros in Microsoft Excel (R) is available. The theory is implemented step-by-step in the codes, and the resulting programs are used throughout the book to produce the respective solutions.

Nonparametric Bayesian Learning for Collaborative Robot Multimodal Introspection (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020): Xuefeng Zhou,... Nonparametric Bayesian Learning for Collaborative Robot Multimodal Introspection (Hardcover, 1st ed. 2020)
Xuefeng Zhou, Hongmin Wu, Juan Rojas, Zhihao Xu, Shuai Li
R1,644 Discovery Miles 16 440 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This open access book focuses on robot introspection, which has a direct impact on physical human-robot interaction and long-term autonomy, and which can benefit from autonomous anomaly monitoring and diagnosis, as well as anomaly recovery strategies. In robotics, the ability to reason, solve their own anomalies and proactively enrich owned knowledge is a direct way to improve autonomous behaviors. To this end, the authors start by considering the underlying pattern of multimodal observation during robot manipulation, which can effectively be modeled as a parametric hidden Markov model (HMM). They then adopt a nonparametric Bayesian approach in defining a prior using the hierarchical Dirichlet process (HDP) on the standard HMM parameters, known as the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process Hidden Markov Model (HDP-HMM). The HDP-HMM can examine an HMM with an unbounded number of possible states and allows flexibility in the complexity of the learned model and the development of reliable and scalable variational inference methods. This book is a valuable reference resource for researchers and designers in the field of robot learning and multimodal perception, as well as for senior undergraduate and graduate university students.
