A regularization approach to model selection, within a generalized HJM framework, is introduced, which learns the closest arbitrage-free model to a prespecified factor model. This optimization problem is represented as the limit of a one-parameter family of computationally tractable penalized...

Machine learning can be effectively used to generate models capable of representing the dynamic of production processes of small and medium-sized enterprises. These models enable the estimation of key performance indicators, and are often used for optimizing production processes. However, in...

In this paper, we present a case study of the imputation in a complex household survey - the first wave of the German Panel on Household Finances (PHF). A household wealth survey has to be built on a questionnaire with rather complex logical structure mainly because the probes of many wealth...
