Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

This is the first in a set of 10 books written for professionals in quantitative finance. These books fill the gap between informal mathematical developments found in introductory materials and more advanced treatments that summarize without formally developing the important foundational results professionals need. Book I in the Foundations in Quantitative Finance Series develops topics in measure spaces and measurable functions and lays the foundation for subsequent volumes. Lebesgue and then Borel measure theory are developed on ℝ motivating the general extension theory of measure spaces that follows. This general theory is applied to finite product measure spaces Borel measures on ℝn and infinite dimensional product probability spaces. The overriding goal of these books is a complete and detailed development of the many mathematical theories and results one finds in popular resources in finance and quantitative finance. Each book is dedicated to a specific area of mathematics or probability theory with applications to finance that are relevant to the needs of professionals. Practitioners academic researchers and students will find these books valuable to their career development. All ten volumes are extensively self-referenced. The reader can enter the collection at any point or topic of interest and then work backward to identify and fill in needed details. This approach also works for a course or self-study on a given volume with earlier books used for reference. Advanced quantitative finance books typically develop materials with an eye to comprehensiveness in the given subject matter yet not with an eye toward efficiently curating and developing the theories needed for applications in quantitative finance. This book and series of volumes fill this need. | Foundations of Quantitative Finance Book I: Measure Spaces and Measurable Functions

Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Sequential Analysis: Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection systematically develops the theory of sequential hypothesis testing and quickest changepoint detection. It also describes important applications in which theoretical results can be used efficiently. The book reviews recent accomplishments in hypothesis testing and changepoint detection both in decision-theoretic (Bayesian) and non-decision-theoretic (non-Bayesian) contexts. The authors not only emphasize traditional binary hypotheses but also substantially more difficult multiple decision problems. They address scenarios with simple hypotheses and more realistic cases of two and finitely many composite hypotheses. The book primarily focuses on practical discrete-time models with certain continuous-time models also examined when general results can be obtained very similarly in both cases. It treats both conventional i. i. d. and general non-i. i. d. stochastic models in detail including Markov hidden Markov state-space regression and autoregression models. Rigorous proofs are given for the most important results. Written by leading authorities in the field this book covers the theoretical developments and applications of sequential hypothesis testing and sequential quickest changepoint detection in a wide range of engineering and environmental domains. It explains how the theoretical aspects influence the hypothesis testing and changepoint detection problems as well as the design of algorithms. | Sequential Analysis Hypothesis Testing and Changepoint Detection

Tree-Based Methods for Statistical Learning in R

Tree-Based Methods for Statistical Learning in R

Tree-based Methods for Statistical Learning in R provides a thorough introduction to both individual decision tree algorithms (Part I) and ensembles thereof (Part II). Part I of the book brings several different tree algorithms into focus both conventional and contemporary. Building a strong foundation for how individual decision trees work will help readers better understand tree-based ensembles at a deeper level which lie at the cutting edge of modern statistical and machine learning methodology. The book follows up most ideas and mathematical concepts with code-based examples in the R statistical language; with an emphasis on using as few external packages as possible. For example users will be exposed to writing their own random forest and gradient tree boosting functions using simple for loops and basic tree fitting software (like rpart and party/partykit) and more. The core chapters also end with a detailed section on relevant software in both R and other opensource alternatives (e. g. Python Spark and Julia) and example usage on real data sets. While the book mostly uses R it is meant to be equally accessible and useful to non-R programmers. Consumers of this book will have gained a solid foundation (and appreciation) for tree-based methods and how they can be used to solve practical problems and challenges data scientists often face in applied work. Features: Thorough coverage from the ground up of tree-based methods (e. g. CART conditional inference trees bagging boosting and random forests). A companion website containing additional supplementary material and the code to reproduce every example and figure in the book. A companion R package called treemisc which contains several data sets and functions used throughout the book (e. g. there’s an implementation of gradient tree boosting with LAD loss that shows how to perform the line search step by updating the terminal node estimates of a fitted rpart tree). Interesting examples that are of practical use; for example how to construct partial dependence plots from a fitted model in Spark MLlib (using only Spark operations) or post-processing tree ensembles via the LASSO to reduce the number of trees while maintaining or even improving performance.

Learn R As a Language

Learn R As a Language

Learning a computer language like R can be either frustrating fun or boring. Having fun requires challenges that wake up the learner’s curiosity but also provide an emotional reward on overcoming them. This book is designed so that it includes smaller and bigger challenges in what I call playgrounds in the hope that all readers will enjoy their path to R fluency. Fluency in the use of a language is a skill that is acquired through practice and exploration. Although rarely mentioned separately fluency in a computer programming language involves both writing and reading. The parallels between natural and computer languages are many but differences are also important. For students and professionals in the biological sciences humanities and many applied fields recognizing the parallels between R and natural languages should help them feel at home with R. The approach I use is similar to that of a travel guide encouraging exploration and describing the available alternatives and how to reach them. The intention is to guide the reader through the R landscape of 2020 and beyond. Features R as it is currently used Few prescriptive rules—mostly the author’s preferences together with alternatives Explanation of the R grammar emphasizing the R way of doing things Tutoring for programming in the small using scripts The grammar of graphics and the grammar of data described as grammars Examples of data exchange between R and the foreign world using common file formats Coaching for becoming an independent R user capable of both writing original code and solving future challenges What makes this book different from others: Tries to break the ice and help readers from all disciplines feel at home with R Does not make assumptions about what the reader will use R for Attempts to do only one thing well: guide readers into becoming fluent in the R language Pedro J. Aphalo is a PhD graduate from the University of Edinburgh and is currently a lecturer at the University of Helsinki. A plant biologist and agriculture scientist with a passion for data electronics computers and photography in addition to plants Dr. Aphalo has been a user of R for 25 years.

Marie desJardins Dean of the College of Organizational Computational and Information Sciences Simmons University Discovering Computer Science is a refreshing departure from introductory programming texts offering students a much more sincere introduction to the breadth and complexity of this ever-growing field. James Deverick Senior Lecturer The College of William and Mary This unique introduction to the science of computing guides students through broad and universal approaches to problem solving in a variety of contexts and their ultimate implementation as computer programs. Daniel Kaplan DeWitt Wallace Professor Macalester College Discovering Computer Science: Interdisciplinary Problems Principles and Python Programming is a problem-oriented introduction to computational problem solving and programming in Python appropriate for a first course for computer science majors a more targeted disciplinary computing course or at a slower pace any introductory computer science course for a general audience. Realizing that an organization around language features only resonates with a narrow audience this textbook instead connects programming to students’ prior interests using a range of authentic problems from the natural and social sciences and the digital humanities. The presentation begins with an introduction to the problem-solving process contextualizing programming as an essential component. Then as the book progresses each chapter guides students through solutions to increasingly complex problems using a spiral approach to introduce Python language features. The text also places programming in the context of fundamental computer science principles such as abstraction efficiency testing and algorithmic techniques offering glimpses of topics that are traditionally put off until later courses. This book contains 30 well-developed independent projects that encourage students to explore questions across disciplinary boundaries over 750 homework exercises and 300 integrated reflection questions engage students in problem solving and active reading. The accompanying website — https://www. discoveringcs. net — includes more advanced content solutions to selected exercises sample code and data files and pointers for further exploration. | Discovering Computer Science Interdisciplinary Problems Principles and Python Programming

Trust Management in the Internet of Vehicles

Trust Management in the Internet of Vehicles

The Internet of Vehicles (IoV) is referred to as an efficient and inevitable convergence of the Internet of Things intelligent transportation systems edge / fog and cloud computing and big data all of which could be intelligently harvested for the cooperative vehicular safety and non-safety applications as well as cooperative mobility management. A secure and low-latency communication is therefore indispensable to meet the stringent performance requirements of the safety-critical vehicular applications. Whilst the challenges surrounding low latency are being addressed by the researchers in both academia and industry it is the security of an IoV network which is of paramount importance as a single malicious message is perfectly capable enough of jeopardizing the entire networking infrastructure and can prove fatal for the vehicular passengers and the vulnerable pedestrians. This book thus investigates the promising notion of trust in a bid to strengthen the resilience of the IoV networks. It not only introduces trust categorically in the context of an IoV network i. e. in terms of its fundamentals and salient characteristics but further envisages state-of-the-art trust models and intelligent trust threshold mechanisms for segregating both malicious and non-malicious vehicles. Furthermore open research challenges and recommendations for addressing the same are discussed in the same too. | Trust Management in the Internet of Vehicles

Philosophy of Mathematics Classic and Contemporary Studies

Philosophy of Mathematics Classic and Contemporary Studies

The philosophy of mathematics is an exciting subject. Philosophy of Mathematics: Classic and Contemporary Studies explores the foundations of mathematical thought. The aim of this book is to encourage young mathematicians to think about the philosophical issues behind fundamental concepts and about different views on mathematical objects and mathematical knowledge. With this new approach the author rekindles an interest in philosophical subjects surrounding the foundations of mathematics. He offers the mathematical motivations behind the topics under debate. He introduces various philosophical positions ranging from the classic views to more contemporary ones including subjects which are more engaged with mathematical logic. Most books on philosophy of mathematics have little to no focus on the effects of philosophical views on mathematical practice and no concern on giving crucial mathematical results and their philosophical relevance consequences reasons etc. This book fills this gap. The book can be used as a textbook for a one-semester or even one-year course on philosophy of mathematics. Other textbooks on the philosophy of mathematics are aimed at philosophers. This book is aimed at mathematicians. Since the author is a mathematician it is a valuable addition to the literature.
