Introduction: Nowadays, the most significant challenges in the stock market is to predict the stock prices. The stock price data represents a financial time series data which becomes more difficult to predict due to its characteristics and dynamic nature. Case description: Support Vector...

This article presents a semi-Markov process based approach to optimally select a portfolio consisting of credit risky bonds. The criteria to optimize the credit portfolio is based on lÉ-norm risk measure and the proposed optimization model is formulated as a linear programming problem. The...

This study proposes a non-homogeneous continuous-time Markov regenerative process with recurrence times, in particular, forward and backward recurrence processes. We obtain the transient solution of the process in the form of a generalized Markov renewal equation. A distinguishing feature is...

Information security is growing to be an IT priority for many firms, but several critical dimensions of enterprise security like type of loss or strategic effects of countermeasures have received little attention in the economics-based literature. We develop a model of a contagious threat that...

Marketing models typically focus on how structured product characteristics impact consumer preferences. However, visual characteristics of products present in unstructured image data play an important role in impacting preferences for many categories. We seek to automatically discover and...
