Book Description
Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) originated in statistical physics, but has spilled over into various application areas, leading to a corresponding variety of techniques and methods. That variety stimulates new ideas and developments from many different places, and there is much to be gained from cross-fertilization. This book presents five expository essays by leaders in the field, drawing from perspectives in physics, statistics and genetics, and showing how different aspects of MCMC come to the fore in different contexts. The essays derive from tutorial lectures at an interdisciplinary program at the Institute for Mathematical Sciences, Singapore, which exploited the exciting ways in which MCMC spreads across different disciplines.

Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 487
Book Description
In commemoration of the bicentennial of the birth of the “lady who gave the rose diagram to us”, this special contributed book pays a statistical tribute to Florence Nightingale. This book presents recent phenomenal developments, both in rigorous theory as well as in emerging methods, for applications in directional statistics, in 25 chapters with contributions from 65 renowned researchers from 25 countries. With the advent of modern techniques in statistical paradigms and statistical machine learning, directional statistics has become an indispensable tool. Ranging from data on circles to that on the spheres, tori and cylinders, this book includes solutions to problems on exploratory data analysis, probability distributions on manifolds, maximum entropy, directional regression analysis, spatio-directional time series, optimal inference, simulation, statistical machine learning with big data, and more, with their innovative applications to emerging real-life problems in astro-statistics, bioinformatics, crystallography, optimal transport, statistical process control, and so on.

Six Sigma DMAIC and Markov Chain Monte Carlo Applications to Financial Risk Management
Author: Bubevski, Vojo
Publisher: IGI Global
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 339
Book Description
Financial institutions face a critical challenge in managing financial risks effectively under the stringent regulatory frameworks of Basel III and Solvency II. Traditional risk management approaches often need to provide the necessary tools to control risks in a dynamic and evolving market environment. A comprehensive methodology integrating advanced risk analysis concepts and structured frameworks is essential for institutions to achieve optimal risk management outcomes, leading to increased solvency risk, capital requirements, and value at risk (VAR). Six Sigma DMAIC and Markov Chain Monte Carlo Applications to Financial Risk Management is a groundbreaking book that presents a transformative approach to financial risk management. Inspired by Peter L. Bernstein's insight on risk control, this book introduces a unique methodology that combines the DMAIC framework with advanced risk analysis concepts. Financial institutions can enhance their risk management processes by applying these tools to internal models for Solvency II and Basel III, reduce solvency risk, and improve competitiveness.

ISBN: 0387763716
Category : Mathematics
Languages : en
Pages : 350
Book Description
This book provides a self-contained and up-to-date treatment of the Monte Carlo method and develops a common framework under which various Monte Carlo techniques can be "standardized" and compared. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the topics and a moderate prerequisite for the reader, this book should be of interest to a broad audience of quantitative researchers such as computational biologists, computer scientists, econometricians, engineers, probabilists, and statisticians. It can also be used as a textbook for a graduate-level course on Monte Carlo methods.
