As technology scales, more sophisticated fabrication processes cause variations in many different parameters in the device. These variations could severely affect the performance ...
A credit derivative is a path dependent contingent claim on the aggregate loss in a portfolio of credit sensitive securities. We estimate the value of a credit derivative by Monte...
We develop an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for pricing barrier options with the variance gamma model (Madan, Carr, and Chang 1998). After generalizing the double-gamma bridge s...
We study the challenging problem of maneuvering object tracking with unknown dynamics, i.e., forces or torque. We investigate the underlying causes of object kinematics, and propo...
— Path planning algorithms that incorporate risk and uncertainty need to be able to predict the evolution of pathfollowing error statistics for each candidate plan. We present an...
