Determining appropriate loss coefficients for use in the nozzle-model of a stage-by-stage turbine model by Marx, Alton Cadle

“…This stage-by-stage turbine nozzlemodel component was derived from the synthesis of classical turbine theory and classical nozzle theory enabling the component to accurately model a turbine stage. Utilizing Flownex, a thermohydraulic network solver, the turbine stage component can be expanded to accurately model any arrangement and category of turbine. …”

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. …”
