Blog Post: Falkenblog: Our Green Government

Posted: 02 Jul 2012 06:38 PM PDT

When you don't have a bottom line, rather a mish-mash of objectives, massive inefficiencies can be tolerated. Here's a bit on our new green navy:The USNS Henry J. Kaiser carried nearly 900,000 gallons of biofuel blended with petroleum to power the cruisers, destroyers and fighter jets of what the Navy has taken to calling the "Great Green Fleet," the first carrier strike group to be powered...

Published / Preprint: Financial instability from local market measures. (arXiv:1207.0356v1 [q-fin.TR])

Posted: 02 Jul 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We study the emergence of instabilities in a stylized model of a financial market, when different market actors calculate prices according to different (local) market measures. We derive typical properties for ensembles of large random markets using techniques borrowed from statistical mechanics of disordered systems. We show that, depending on the number of financial instruments available and on...

Published / Preprint: Chi-square simulation of the CIR process and the Heston model. (arXiv:0802.4411v5 [q-fin.CP] UPDATED)

Posted: 02 Jul 2012 05:32 PM PDT

The transition probability of a Cox-Ingersoll-Ross process can be represented by a non-central chi-square density. First we prove a new representation for the central chi-square density based on sums of powers of generalized Gaussian random variables. Second we prove Marsaglia's polar method extends to this distribution, providing a simple, exact, robust and efficient acceptance-rejection method...

Published / Preprint: Geometric Allocation Approach for Transition Kernel of Markov Chain. (arXiv:1106.3562v2 [cond-mat.stat-mech] UPDATED)

Posted: 02 Jul 2012 05:32 PM PDT

We introduce a new geometric approach that constructs a transition kernel of Markov chain. Our method always minimizes the average rejection rate and even reduce it to zero in many relevant cases, which cannot be achieved by conventional methods, such as the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm or the heat bath algorithm (Gibbs sampler). Moreover, the geometric approach makes it possible to find not...
