Evolutionary algorithms for statistics and finance

Karavas, Vassilios N - 2003

Several models in econometrics and finance have been proven to be computationally intractable due to their complexity. In this dissertation, we propose an evolutionary-genetic-algorithm for solving these types of problems. We extend the models so that less restrictive assumptions are required...

Nonlinear dynamics in the Beer Distribution Game -- A high-throughput computing analysis

Patterson, Nathan J - 2009

Since the early 1960s, the Beer Distribution Game (BDG) has been used to characterize the various instabilities that arise in multi-stage supply chains. Although an appreciable body of research exists for the BDG and its inherent nonlinear instabilities, there are three apparent technical voids...
