Pricing with Bivariate Unspanned Stochastic Volatility Models by Wort, Joshua

“…Unspanned stochastic volatility (USV) models have gained popularity in the literature. USV models contain at least one source of volatility-related risk that cannot be hedged with bonds, referred to as the unspanned volatility factor(s). …”

A comparative study of stochastic models in biology by Brandão, Anabela de Gusmão

“…These models are not only effective as a description tool but also afford strategies consistent with conventional model selection processes to deal with the standard statistical hypothesis testing situations. …”

Articulated Statistical Shape Modelling of the Shoulder Joint by Alemneh, Tewodros

“…The aim of this project was to develop an analysis framework for shoulder joint kinematics via the use of articulated statistical shape models (ASSMs). Articulated statistical shape models extend conventional statistical shape models by combining the shape variability of anatomical objects collected from different subjects (statistical shape models), with the physical variation of pose between the same objects (articulation). …”

Interpolation of Forward Rates in the LIBOR Market Model by Mbele, Buhlebezwe Bandile Sthombe

“…Since its development in 1997, the LIBOR market model has gained widespread use in interest rate modelling, largely owing to its consistency with the Black futures formula for pricing interest rate caps and floors. …”

Volatility level dependence and the CEV market model by Yeung, Alan

“…This varying volatility level-dependence feature motivates the use of CEV market model to model the interest rate. In this dissertation, we compare the lognormal forward LIBOR market model, the CEV market model and the normal market model through regression analysis, hedging analysis and calibration analysis to assess their performance. …”

Modeling Compact Objects with Effective Field Theory by Martinez, Rodriguez Irvin Fabian

“…In this master's thesis we have developed a worldline Effective Field Theory of compact objects, by extending the model of spinning extended objects derived using the coset construction [1], from which one can derive the effective theory from symmetry principles. …”

Forecasting and modelling the VIX using Neural Networks by Netshivhambe, Nomonde

“…The segmentation of the periods caters for the changes in the predictive power of the aforementioned models, given the dierent market conditions. When forecasting the VIX, we show that the best performing model is found in the Calm Period. …”

An investigation into unifying early warning prediction models by Grieve, Jason

“…Forecasting financial distress has been regarded as a serious and significant problem, and if not signalled in time, has catastrophic ramifications on worldwide economies. Financial distress models are in existence and have been tested with varying results of success. …”

Pricing, Calibration and Hedging under the LIBOR model by Menziwa, Singalakha

“…The simulation is conducted within the LIBOR model framework. While inconsistent with the model assumptions, the Black method performed equally well as the LIBOR method as we obtained similar hedging profit and loss distributions even at high portfolio rebalancing frequencies.…”
