Applications Of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Type Stochastic Differential Equations, Osei Kofi Tweneboah
Applications Of Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Type Stochastic Differential Equations, Osei Kofi Tweneboah
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
In this Dissertation, we show with plausible arguments that the Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs) arising on the superposition and coupling system of independent Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process is a new method available in modern literature that takes the properties and behavior of the data into consideration when performing the statistical analysis of the time series.
The time series to be analyzed is thought of as a source of fluctuations, and thus we need a model that takes this behavior into consideration when performing such analysis. Most of the standard methods fail to take into account the physical behavior of the time series, …

Stochastic Modeling Of Earthquakes And Option Pricing Using Bns-Gamma-Ou Model, Mandela Bright Quashie
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
High frequency data are becoming increasingly popular these days. They are fundamental in basically every facet of people’s lives. They are the determining factors in hedging in the field of finance. In geology, they help in the accurate prediction of earthquakes’ magnitude which goes along way to help save lives and properties.
High frequency data are also used more and more frequently for speculations. For this reason, it is important not only for scientists to apply models allowing correct quantification of these data, but also to improve the eciency of these models.
The Black-Scholes model, which is widely used because …
Spatially Adaptive Estimation Of Spectrum, Yi None Xie
Spatially Adaptive Estimation Of Spectrum, Yi None Xie
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
When analyzing a stationary time series, one of the questions we are often interested in is how to estimate its spectrum. Many approaches have been proposed to this end. Most are focused on smoothing the periodogram using a single smoothing parameter across all Fourier frequencies. In this paper, we smooth the log periodogram by placing a spatially adaptive prior called the dynamic shrinkage prior, so that varying degrees of smoothing may be applied to different intervals of Fourier frequencies, resulting in less biased estimates of the spectrum. Further research will extend this approach to spectral estimation for nonstationary time series.
Lévy Processes: Characterizing Volcanic And Financial Time Series, Peter Kwadwo Asante
Lévy Processes: Characterizing Volcanic And Financial Time Series, Peter Kwadwo Asante
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
In this work, we use the Diffusion Entropy Analysis (DEA) to analyze and detect the scaling properties of time series from both emerging and well established markets as well as volcanic eruptions recorded by a seismic station, both financial and volcanic time series data are known to have high frequencies (i.e they are collected at an extremely fine scale). The objective is to determine the characterization i.e whether they follow a Gaussian or Lévy distribution. If they do follow a Lévy distribution we are then interested in finding if they are characterized by a Lévy walk which has a finite …
Predicting Stochastic Volatility For Extreme Fluctuations In High Frequency Time Series, Md Al Masum Bhuiyan
Predicting Stochastic Volatility For Extreme Fluctuations In High Frequency Time Series, Md Al Masum Bhuiyan
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
This work is devoted to the study of modeling high frequency time series including extreme fluctuations. As the high frequency data are collected at extremely fine scales, the fluctuations can capture the dynamics of data that evolve over time. A class of volatility models with time-varying parameters is used to forecast the volatility in a stationary condition at different lags. The modeling of stationary time series with consistent properties facilitates prediction with much certainty.
A large set of high frequency financial returns, closing prices of stock markets, high magnitudes of seismograms generated by the natural earthquakes, and the mining explosions …

Robust Estimation And Inference For Multivariate Financial Data, Afua Kwakyewaa Amoako Dadey
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
Predicting and forecasting are routine day-to-day activities that guide us in making the best possible choices. They play an integral role in financial analysis. A lot of work has been done on one dimensional geometric Brownian motion (GBM) in stock price prediction. In this line of work, we focus mainly on how to use the one dimensional geometric Brownian motion and the multidimensional geometric Brownian motion in predicting future stock prices. There are several stock prices in the financial market and the multidimensional geometric Brownian motion gives a more realistic prediction compared to the one dimensional GBM. The reason being …
General Penalized Logistic Regression For Gene Selection In High-Dimensional Microarray Data Classification, Derrick Kwesi Bonney
General Penalized Logistic Regression For Gene Selection In High-Dimensional Microarray Data Classification, Derrick Kwesi Bonney
Open Access Theses & Dissertations
High-dimensional data has become a major research area in the field of genetics, bioinformatics and bio-statistics due to advancement of technologies. Some common issues of modeling high-dimensional gene expression data are that many of the genes may not be relevant. Also, reducing the dimensions of the data using penalized logistic regression is one of the major challenges when there exists a high correlation among genes. High-dimension data correspond to the situation where the number of variables is greater or larger than the number of observations. Gene selection proved to be an effective way to improve the results of many classification …
