Overview: Includes supplementary material: .This Brief presents the multi criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques like Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (ANP) to find out the importance of the influencing factors to develop the Climatic Vulnerability Index (CVI) that will represent the vulnerability of the Hydro-Power Plant (HPP) to climatic abnormalities. The cognitive ability of neuro-genetic modeling is applied to minimize CVI so that the conditions required to reduce the effect of climate change on HPP can be identified. The results from the s

Overview: .The book addresses the problem of a time-varying unconditional variance of return processes utilizing a spline function. The knots of the spline functions are estimated as free parameters within a joined estimation process together with the parameters of the mean, the conditional variance and the spline function. With the help of this method, the knots are placed in regions where the unconditional variance is not smooth. The results are tested within an extensive simulation study and an empirical study employing the S&P500 index..978-3-658-38617-7978-3-658-38618-4Series ISSN 2731-32

Overview: Today, process capability is the prerequisite for profit-yielding and customer-oriented companies.However, this fundamental idea, that of certification standards as well, is not yet predominant in praThe transformation of the classic factory from a production facility into a modern service center has resulted in management problems for which many companies are not yet prepared. The economic efficiency of modern value creation is not a property of the products but rather of the process. What this means is that the decisive potentials of companies are to be found not so much in their p

Overview: Interdisziplinäre Analyse von Medienwettbewerb und MedienkonzentrationDer Band bietet eine interdisziplinäre sozialwissenschaftliche Analyse (soziologisch, wirtschaftswissenschaftlich, juristisch, historisch, politik- und kommunikationswissenschaftlich) von Medienwettbewerb bzw. -pluralität, Medienkonzentration und ihrer gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen unter besonderer Berücksichtigung technischer und ökonomischer Konvergenz in der Zeit globaler Digitalisierung. Die Macht der Medien wird so Disziplinen übergreifend untersucht. Abschließend erfolgt eine kritische Evaluation der bisher

Overview: Includes supplementary material: .Monte Carlo simulation has become an essential tool in the pricing of derivative securities and in risk management. These applications have, in turn, stimulated research into new Monte Carlo methods and renewed interest in some older techniques...This book develops the use of Monte Carlo methods in finance and it also uses simulation as a vehicle for presenting models and ideas from financial engineering. It divides roughly into three parts. The first part develops the fundamentals of Monte Carlo methods, the foundations of derivatives pricing, and t
