Site specificity as the decolonial model : an interpretive study of the Groote Schuur Menagerie by Moon, Shannon

“…This study presents the argument that theories on Site Specificity, as a model of site interrogation and design, is the most appropriate to the discourse of decolonization as it is inherently a de-colonized method of reading the site. …”

Pricing a Bermudan option under the constant elasticity of variance model by Rwexana, Kwaku

“…This dissertation investigates the computational efficiency and accuracy of three methodologies in the pricing of a Bermudan option, under the constant elasticity of variance (CEV) model. The pricing methods considered are the finite difference method, least squares Monte Carlo method and recursive marginal quantization (RMQ) method. …”

Linear-Rational Term Structure Models With Flexible Level-Dependent Volatility by Schwellnus, Adrian

“…This dissertation then finds that the estimated state dependent volatility structure is significantly different to that of typical models, where it is set it a priori. The effect the added degree of freedom has on the model implied swaption skew is then analysed.…”

Application of Adjoint Differentiation (AD) for Calculating Libor Market Model Sensitivities by Morley, Niall

“…This is achieved through the reversal of the order of differentiation in the pathwise derivatives algorithm in comparison to the standard, intuitive ‘forward’ approach. The Libor market model (LMM) framework is selected for examples to demonstrate these computational savings, with varying degrees of complexity of the LMM explored, from a one-factor model with constant volatility to a full factor model with time homogeneous volatilities.…”

Black ex-model-C school learners’ experiences of racial microaggressions by Canham, Toni Misty Kyla

“…Operating within a social constructionist framework, this qualitative study utilized purposive sampling to investigate racial microaggressions experienced by Black1 participants from previously Model-C schools. The focus groups conducted were analysed by means of a thematic analysis, which yielded eight main themes, namely, the second-class citizen; patronizing ascriptions of intelligence; #HandsOffMyCrown; the invisibilization of race andprivilege; morphing bigotry or innocent preference?…”

An exploration of alternative features in micro-finance loan default prediction models by Stone, Devon

“…This minor dissertation focuses on investigating whether alternative features generated from Short Messaging Service (SMS) data and Android application data contained on borrowers' devices can be used to improve the performance of loan default prediction models. The improvement gained by using alternative features is measured by comparing loan default prediction models trained using only traditional credit scoring data to models developed using a combination of traditional and alternative features. …”
