We provide a fast algorithm for calculating the fractional difference of a time series. In standard implementations, the calculation speed (number of arithmetic operations) is of order T^2, where T is the length of the time series. Our algorithm allows calculation speed of order T log T. For...

In this paper we propose an algorithm for the solution of optimalcontrol problems with nonlinear models based on a generalised Gauss-Newton algorithm but making use of analytic model derivatives. Themethod is implemented in WinSolve, a general nonlinear model solution program

This paper presents the R package MitISEM (mixture of t by importance sampling weighted expectation maximization) which provides an automatic and flexible two-stage method to approximate a non-elliptical target density kernel - typically a posterior density kernel - using an adaptive mixture of...

Rigorous and proper linking of financial databases is a necessary step to test trading strategies incorporating multimodal sources of information. This paper proposes a machine learning solution to match companies in heterogeneous financial databases. Our method, named Financial Attribute...

Covariates in regressions may be linked to each other on a network. Knowledge of the network structure can be incorporated into regularized regression settings via a network penalty term. However, when it is unknown whether the connection signs in the network are positive (connected covariates...

We provide a fast algorithm for calculating the fractional difference of a time series. In standard implementations, the calculation speed (complexity) is of order T 2, where T is the length of the time series. Our algorithm allows calculation speed of order T log2 T . For moderate and large...

This paper presents the R-package MitISEM (mixture of t by importance sampling weighted expectation maximization) which provides an automatic and flexible two-stage method to approximate a non-elliptical target density kernel -- typically a posterior density kernel -- using an adaptive mixture...

The number of unique trading strategies with a limited number of futures contracts on short and long positions exponentially grows with the number of ticks. The latter reaches today in daily sessions hundreds of thousands. Evaluation of the set properties of strategies may require quantum...
