On precision of stochastic optimization based on estimates from censored data

Petr Volf (2014)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In the framework of a stochastic optimization problem, it is assumed that the stochastic characteristics of optimized system are estimated from randomly right-censored data. Such a case is frequently encountered in time-to-event or lifetime studies. The analysis of precision of such a solution is based on corresponding theoretical properties of estimated stochastic characteristics. The main concern is to show consistency of optimal solution even in the random censoring case. Behavior...

Stability and contagion measures for spatial extreme value analyzes

Cecília Fonseca, Helena Ferreira, Luísa Pereira, Ana Paula Martins (2014)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

As part of global climate change an accelerated hydrologic cycle (including an increase in heavy precipitation) is anticipated (Trenberth [20, 21]). So, it is of great importance to be able to quantify high-impact hydrologic relationships, for example, the impact that an extreme precipitation (or temperature) in a location has on a surrounding region. Building on the Multivariate Extreme Value Theory we propose a contagion index and a stability index. The contagion index makes it possible...

Probabilistic properties of the continuous double auction

Martin Šmíd (2012)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper we formulate a general model of the continuous double auction. We (recursively) describe the distribution of the model. As a useful by-product, we give a (recursive) analytic description of the distribution of the process of the best quotes (bid and ask).

Parameter estimation of sub-Gaussian stable distributions

Vadym Omelchenko (2014)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In this paper, we present a parameter estimation method for sub-Gaussian stable distributions. Our algorithm has two phases: in the first phase, we calculate the average values of harmonic functions of observations and in the second phase, we conduct the main procedure of asymptotic maximum likelihood where those average values are used as inputs. This implies that the main procedure of our method does not depend on the sample size of observations. The main idea of our method lies in...

On the extremal behavior of a Pareto process: an alternative for ARMAX modeling

Marta Ferreira (2012)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

In what concerns extreme values modeling, heavy tailed autoregressive processes defined with the minimum or maximum operator have proved to be good alternatives to classical linear ARMA with heavy tailed marginals (Davis and Resnick [8], Ferreira and Canto e Castro [13]). In this paper we present a complete characterization of the tail behavior of the autoregressive Pareto process known as Yeh-Arnold-Robertson Pareto(III) (Yeh et al. [32]). We shall see that it is quite similar to the...
