The paper considers robust optimization to cope with uncertainty about the stock return process in one period option hedging problems. The robust approach relates portfolio choice ...
Consider the problem of joint parameter estimation and prediction in a Markov random field: i.e., the model parameters are estimated on the basis of an initial set of data, and th...
Principal differential analysis (PDA) is an alternative parameter estimation technique for differential equation models in which basis functions (e.g., B-splines) are fitted to dy...

We present a parameter synthesis algorithm for planar, higher pair mechanical systems. The input is a parametric model of a mechanical system (part shapes and configurations) with...
Background: Dynamic modeling of metabolic reaction networks under in vivo conditions is a crucial step in order to obtain a better understanding of the (dis)functioning of living ...

The challenging problem in linear control theory is to describe the total set of parameters (controller coefficients or plant characteristics) which provide stability of a system....
Background: In order to compute pattern statistics in computational biology a Markov model is commonly used to take into account the sequence composition. Usually its parameter mu...
