In this paper we propose Cluster Evolution Analytics (CEA) as a framework that can be considered in the realm of Advanced Exploratory Data Analysis or unsupervised learning. CEA leverages on the temporal component of panel data and it is based on combining two techniques that are usually not...

The hedge fund represents a unique investment opportunity for the institutional and private investors in the diffusion-type financial systems. The main objective of this condensed article is to research the hedge fund’s optimal investment portfolio strategies selection in the global capital...

We propose a short review between two alternative ways of modeling stability and change of longitudinal data when time-fixed and time-varying covariates referred to the observed individuals are available. They both build on the foundation of the finite mixture models and are commonly applied in...

This article assesses the communication of the European Central Bank (ECB) using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques. We show the evolution of discourse over time and capture the main themes of interest for the central bank that go beyond its traditional mandate of maintaining price...

Internal market structure analysis infers both brand attributes and consumer preferences for those attributes from preference or choice data. The authors exploit a new method for estimating probit models from panel data to infer market structures that can be displayed in few dimensions, even...

In this paper we show that the exchange rates of some commodity exporter countries have the ability to predict the price of spot and future contracts of aluminum. This is shown with both in-sample and out-of-sample analyses. The theoretical underpinning of these results relies on the...

In this study method of Lagrange multiplier is considered to investigate profit maximization policy. In the twenty first century global economy faces serious complexities. Sensitivity analysis of economic firms becomes essential part of sustainable economic environment. The method of Lagrange...

This paper builds on a simple unified representation of shrinkage Bayes estimators based on hierarchical Normal-Gamma priors. Various popular penalized least squares estimators for shrinkage and selection in regression models can be recovered using this single hierarchical Bayes formulation....
