Combining Technical Analysis And Neural Networks In The Australian Stockmarket, Bruce Vanstone, Gavin Finnie

One of the greatest difficulties facing a stock trader or investment manager is the stock selection process. In this process, the investor is faced with a large number of competing investments, and a fixed amount of capital. The goal is to spread the available capital across a reduced subset of the competing investments, with the aim of increasing the return. Typically, the investor relies on one of two main frameworks to guide the selection process, namely Fundamental Analysis, and Technical Analysis. This paper focuses on Technical Analysis, and implements a neural network which supports the stock selection process.

Tertiary providers of hospitality management degree programs must fulfil the needs of student, industry and academic stakeholder groups. The students attracted to this type of program tend to be motivated primarily by the anticipated vocational outcomes. As a result, hospitality management curriculum needs to meet both industry and student expectations by delivering the skill sets needed in the workplace and the institutional demands for academic rigour. This article reports on research that aimed to compare hospitality managers' expectations of graduate skills with student perceptions of the skills that hospitality managers valued. In contrast to previous research on this topic, this …

Screening of passengers at the airport security check point is one of the most critical measures to ensure our nation’s aviation security and safety. In this study, we investigate the operational efficiency and inspection effectiveness of passenger screening, including the magnetometer (MAG), X-Ray machines, manual wand search, trace of explosive residuals, and private screening at an airport. Passenger volumes by the day of the week and times of the day, along with the corresponding staffing levels of the screening personnel are modeled. Performance of the security system with respect to passengers making the flights on time is evaluated for various …

Patient throughput has become one of the most common measures of hospital performance in terms of patient satisfaction and operational efficiency. Throughout the country hospital emergency departments, which generally supply almost 50% of the inpatient population, face increased pressure on improving patient flow. Similarly performance of ORs, the largest revenue grosser for the hospital significantly affects the patient satisfaction considerably. In addition to employing a DMAIC - Lean Six Sigma approach to resolve these problems, In simulation has been used as an excellent tool to implement the Analyze and Improve phases of the six-sigma methodology. We used simulation, integrated with …

Rapid estimates of hospital capacity after an event that may cause a disaster can assist disaster-relief efforts. Due to the dynamics of hospitals, following such an event, it is necessary to accurately model the behavior of the system. A transient modeling approach using simulation and exponential functions is presented, along with its applications in an earthquake situation. The parameters of the exponential model are regressed using outputs from designed simulation experiments. The developed model is capable of representing transient, patient waiting times during a disaster. Most importantly, the modeling approach allows real-time capacity estimation of hospitals of various sizes and …

Economics Of Information Security Investment In The Case Of Simultaneous Attacks, C. Derrick Huang, Qing Hu, Ravi S. Behara
Economics Of Information Security Investment In The Case Of Simultaneous Attacks, C. Derrick Huang, Qing Hu, Ravi S. Behara

With billions of dollars being spent on information security related products and services each year, the economics of information security investment has become an important area of research, with significant implications for management practices. Drawing on recent studies that examine optimal security investment levels under various attack scenarios, we propose an economic model that considers simultaneous attacks from multiple external agents with distinct characteristics, and derive optimal investments based on the principle of benefit maximization. The relationships among the major variables, such as systems vulnerability, security breach probability, potential loss of security breach, and security investment levels, are investigated via …
