Springer Verlag, Singapore Reliability and Survival Analysis
Book SynopsisThis book presents and standardizes statistical models and methods that can be directly applied to both reliability and survival analysis. These two types of analysis are widely used in many fields, including engineering, management, medicine, actuarial science, the environmental sciences, and the life sciences. Though there are a number of books on reliability analysis and a handful on survival analysis, there are virtually no books on both topics and their overlapping concepts. Offering an essential textbook, this book will benefit students, researchers, and practitioners in reliability and survival analysis, reliability engineering, biostatistics, and the biomedical sciences. Table of ContentsChapter 1: Reliability and Survival Analysis: Concepts and Definitions.- Chapter 2: Mean Lifetime and Residual Lifetime.- Chapter 3: Probability Distributions of Lifetimes (Uncensored).- Chapter 4: Censoring Mechanisms.- Chapter 5: Probability Distributions of Lifetimes under Censoring Schemes.- Chapter 6: Nonparametric Methods.- Chapter 7: Parametric Methods.- Chapter 8: Regression Models.- Chapter 9: Generalized Linear Models for Failure Times.- Chapter 10: Components and Systems.- Chapter 11: Reliability Functions and Ageing Properties.- Chapter 12: Models for Production System.- Chapter 13: Stochastic Models.- Chapter 14: Further Topics.- References.- Appendix - A: Statistical Tables.- Appendix - B: Data Sets.- Appendix - C: R-Packages and Programming Codes.- Index.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Computation of Greeks Using the Discrete
Book SynopsisThis book presents new computation schemes for the sensitivity of options using the binomial tree and introduces readers to the discrete Malliavin calculus. It also shows that applications of the discrete Malliavin calculus approach to the binomial tree model offer fundamental tools for computing Greeks.The binomial tree approach is one of the most popular methods in option pricing. Although it is a fairly traditional model for option pricing, it is still widely used in financial institutions since it is tractable and easy to understand. However, the book shows that the tree approach also offers a powerful tool for deriving the Greeks for options. Greeks are quantities that represent the sensitivities of the price of derivative securities with respect to changes in the underlying asset price or parameters. The Malliavin calculus, the stochastic methods of variations, is one of the most popular tools used to derive Greeks. However, it is also very difficult to understand for most students and practitioners because it is based on complex mathematics. To help readers more easily understand the Malliavin calculus, the book introduces the discrete Malliavin calculus, a theory of the functional for the Bernoulli random walk. The discrete Malliavin calculus is significantly easier to understand, because the functional space of the Bernoulli random walk is realized in a finite dimensional space. As such, it makes this valuable tool far more accessible for a broad readership.Table of ContentsIntroduction.- Single-Period Model.- Multiple Time Model.- Application to Finance.- Spectral Binomial Tree.- Short Introduction to Malliavin Calculus in Continuous Time Model.- Discrete Malliavin Greeks.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Machine Learning and AI in Finance
Book SynopsisThe significant amount of information available in any field requires a systematic and analytical approach to select the most critical information and anticipate major events. During the last decade, the world has witnessed a rapid expansion of applications of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) algorithms to an increasingly broad range of financial markets and problems. Machine learning and AI algorithms facilitate this process understanding, modelling and forecasting the behaviour of the most relevant financial variables. The main contribution of this book is the presentation of new theoretical and applied AI perspectives to find solutions to unsolved finance questions. This volume proposes an optimal model for the volatility smile, for modelling high-frequency liquidity demand and supply and for the simulation of market microstructure features. Other new AI developments explored in this book includes building a universal model for a large number of stockTable of ContentsForewordMarcos Lopez de PradoIntroductionGermán G.

Written to be put into practice, the material is essential reading for students and managers." Professor Claire Hannibal, Professor of Operations Management, Liverpool Business School, Liverpool John Moores University, UK.--------------------------"Bamford, Forrester and Reid all have comprehensive industrial backgrounds covering a number of operation management roles. It is this, combined with academic rigour across a number of operation management disciplines that reflects their cutting-edge research, which results in a text fit for purpose in today’s environment. They are all first-class lecturers, and this comes to the fore in the way they make key points in the book to illuminate student learning."Professor Barrie Dale, Emeritus Professor, Alliance Manchester Business School, University of Manchester, UK.---------------------"Bamford, Forrester and Reid provide an essential update on operations management revisiting both the model and context in the current economic climate while integrating important topics such as agile and resilient operations, digital transformation, and managing supply networks. Operations Management is about "getting the job done, done well, and delivering enhanced value creation". This text sets the reader off on the right course."Vernon Barker OBE, Retired Project Director, Transport Consultant and Rail Industry Director.---------------------"This textbook is a tight, flowing combination of well-grounded theory and practical examples, with a stress on long-term value and organizational strength. It correctly stresses that this can only be gained by ensuring a financially sustainable business model, and environmentally sustainable, responsible operations. A good read that makes a valuable contribution."Stephen Oliver, VP Corporate Marketing & Investor Relations, Navitas Semiconductor, Los Angeles, California.--------------------------"This is a much-welcomed update of Bamford and Forrester’s excellent and aptly named ‘Essential Guide to Operations Management’.
