One Factor Model Summary The vast volume of financial data that exists and the globalization of financial markets create new challenges for researchers and practitioners in economics and finance. Computational data analysis techniques can contribute significantly within this context, by providing a rigorous analytic framework for decision-making and support, in areas such as financial times series analysis and forecasting, risk assessment, trading, asset management, and pricing. The aim of this edited volume is to present, in a unified context, some recent advances in the field, covering the theory, the methodologies, Notes Includes bibliographical references and index Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher Subject Economics -- Statistical methods.
