An introduction to the theory and practice of financial simulation and optimization
In recent years, there has been a notable increase in the use of simulation and optimization methods in the financial industry. Applications include portfolio allocation, risk management, pricing, and capital budgeting under uncertainty.
In life, time is money, and on the Internet, the size of data is money. Small programs and small files take less disk space and cost less to send over the Internet. Compression Algorithms for Real Programmers describes the basic algorithms and approaches for compressing information so you can create the smallest files possible....
This first of its kind text enables today’s students to understand current and future energy challenges, to acquire skills for selecting and using materials and manufacturing processes in the design of energy systems, and to develop a cross-functional approach to materials, mechanics, electronics and processes of energy...
This book serves two purposes: first to introduce readers to the concepts of geometrical optics, physical optics and techniques of optical imaging and image processing, and secondly to provide them with experience in modeling the theory and applications using the commonly used software tool MATLAB®. A comprehensively revised...
The phenomenal growth of the Internet has resulted in the availability of
huge amounts of online information, a situation that is overwhelming to
the end-user. To overcome this problem personalization technologies have
been extensively employed across several domains to provide assistance in
filtering, sorting, classifying and sharing...
Wireless sensor networks are currently being employed in a variety of applications ranging from medical to military, and from home to industry. Wireless Sensor Networks and Applications aims to provide a reference tool for the increasing number of scientists who depend upon sensor networks in some way. The topics covered include network design and...
Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar has been receiving increasing attention from researchers, practitioners, and funding agencies. This is the first book to present a comprehensive and coherent picture of this emerging field, which is likely to become the standard reference in the field. The book introduces recent developments in MIMO radar...
Blender 3D is a popular, open source modeling package that can produce photo-realistic 3D images and animations. Automating tasks and extending the functionality of an extensive application like Blender will streamline your workflow and make the impossible possible. However, implementing scripts may be daunting.
The aim of this book is to give you a broad understanding of the processes and techniques used in object-oriented software development, the production of computer programs using object-oriented techniques. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) comes into play as the standard notation used in industry for software documentation.
This book introduces the use of the distinct element method (DEM) in modeling crowd behavior and simulating evacuation processes. Focusing on the mathematical computation of the uncertain behavior of evacuees, which is switching action behavior, it subsequently reproduces the crowd evacuation process under several conjectural...
