    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; semi-Markov process; discrete time; insurance; actuarial; higher order reward; disability; variance; skewness; kurtosis; reward process; stochastic volatility; controlling semi-Markov process; Monte Carlo algorithm; convergence; optimal stopping; skeleton approximation; regime switching; semi-Markov modulated; European option; American option; Lévy process.; MATHEMATICS; MATEMATIK; Matematik tillämpad matematik;

    Abstract : This thesis presents studies of semi-Markov models for insurance and option rewards. The thesis consists of the introduction and six papers. The introduction presents the results of the thesis in an informal way.In paper A, a general semi-Markov reward model is presented. READ MORE

  5. 3. Bridges with Random Length and Pinning Point for Modelling the Financial Information

    Author : Mohammed Louriki; Astrid Hilbert; Dorje C. Brody; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Brownian motion; Brownian bridge; Gaussian process; Gaussian bridge; Gamma process; Gamma bridge; Lévy process; pinned Lévy process; Markov process; Bayes theorem; stopping time; default time; semi-martingale decomposition; credit risk; defaultable bond; last passage time; enlargement of filtration; stochastic filtering theory; information-based asset pricing; market filtration.; Mathematics; Matematik;

    Abstract : The impact of the information concerning an event of interest occurring at a future random time is the main topic of this work. The event can massively influence financial markets and the problem of modelling the information on the time at which it occurs is of crucial importance in financial modelling. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hidden Markov models : Identification, control and inverse filtering

    Author : Robert Mattila; Bo Wahlberg; Eric Moulines; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hidden markov models; system identification; method of moments; inverse filtering; abdominal aortic aneurysm; medical; markov decision process; structure; Electrical Engineering; Elektro- och systemteknik;

    Abstract : The hidden Markov model (HMM) is one of the workhorse tools in, for example, statistical signal processing and machine learning. It has found applications in a vast number of fields, ranging all the way from bioscience to speech recognition to modeling of user interactions in social networks. READ MORE

  7. 5. Modelling and Inference for Spatio-Temporal Marked Point Processes

    Author : Ottmar Cronie; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Asymptotic normality; Consistency; Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process; Diffusion process; Edge correction; Goodness-of-fit; Richards growth function; Growth-interaction process; Immigration-death process; Least squares estimation; Markov process; Maximum likelihood estimation; Open-growth; Spatio-temporal marked point process; Stationarity; Stochastic differential equation; Transition density; Asymptotic normality;

    Abstract : This thesis deals with inference problems related to the growth-interaction process (GI-process). The GI-process is a continuous time spatio-temporal point process with dynamic interacting marks (closed disks), in which the immigration-death process (ID-process) controls the arrivals of new marked points as well as their potential life-times.
