The treatment of uncertainty in construction price modelling by Strez, Henryk Andrzej Leon

“…The purpose of this thesis was to acquaint the reader on the nature of the uncertainty present in construction price forecasting and to introduce an environment that has the ability to integrate these uncertainties with greater consistency than that possessed by available price models. The objective of this thesis was to establish that uncertainty can be explicitly treated in price forecasting models. …”

Modelling the oceanic circulation in the Delagoa Bight by Cossa, Obadias J

“…The ROMS is used to investigate the oceanic circulation in the Delagoa Bight region, near the southwestern end of the Mozambique Channel. The model is initially configured at a horizontal resolution of 1/10° (9.9km) over the domain 30.1-43°E,22.13-30.8° S. …”

The Lifted Heston Stochastic Volatility Model by Broodryk, Ryan

“…Can we capture the explosive nature of volatility skew observed in the market, without resorting to non-Markovian models? We show that, in terms of skew, the Heston model cannot match the market at both long and short maturities simultaneously. …”

Investigating neural responses in models of neurocysticercosis by Tomes, Hayley Sarah

“…In the final part of my thesis I established an in vivo model of neurocysticercosis. I found that intradermal inoculation together with multiple intracerebral injections of Taenia crassiceps homogenate did not result in the development of seizures over 3 months of chronic electrocorticography recordings. …”

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Modelling by Katsiru, Noah Kudakwashe

“…Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) was examined using 16QAM, 32QAM and 64QAM, Binary phase shift keying (BPSK), eight phase shift keying (8PSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 16QAM, 32QAM and 64QAM OFDM modulation techniques were used. Channel noise is modelled by adding a white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The channel noise variance decreases with an increase in signal to noise ratio (SNR). 10dB SNR and 20dB SNR inputs were used in the simulations to obtain the BER of the recovered image. …”

Modelling gametocytes in the presence of interval-censoring by Takawira, Michaela Faro C

“…Several survival analysis models were applied to the gametocyte data. These models included the Cox Proportional Hazards (PH) model, parametric PH model and accelerated failure time models, which were used to illustrate how results may differ based on whether intervalcensoring was taken into account or not. …”

Deep Calibration of Option Pricing Models by Dadah, Sahil

“…This dissertation investigates the calibration efficiency of short rate models using deep neural networks. The main focus is on the calibration of one-and-two factor Hull-White models to caplets and swaptions data, where the inputs are interest rate derivative prices or implied volatilities, and the outputs are the model parameters. …”
