Volatility modelling and accurate minimun capital risk requirements : a comparison among several approaches [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this paper we estimate, for several investment horizons, minimum capital risk requirements for short and long positions, using the unconditional distribution of three daily indexes futures returns and a set of GARCH-type and stochastic volatility ...

Extreme value analysis for the sample autocovariance matrices of heavy-tailed multivariate time series

open access: yes, 2016
We provide some asymptotic theory for the largest eigenvalues of a sample covariance matrix of a p-dimensional time series where the dimension p = p_n converges to infinity when the sample size n increases.

Fed-TDA: Federated Tabular Data Augmentation on Non-IID Data

open access: yes, 2022
Non-independent and identically distributed (non-IID) data is a key challenge in federated learning (FL), which usually hampers the optimization convergence and the performance of FL. Existing data augmentation methods based on federated generative models or raw data sharing strategies for solving the non-IID problem still suffer from low performance ...

How Competitive Is Myanmar's Rice Sector? A Comparison of Production Costs and Efficiency

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper analyzes the cost competitiveness of rice production in Myanmar by examining production costs, cost efficiency, and the potential effect of improving cost efficiency on the country's global competitiveness. To achieve this, we conduct a comparative analysis of production costs among major rice‐producing countries and estimate the ...

Efficiency and Technology Gap in European Apple Production—A Metafrontier Model for Germany, Italy, and Poland

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT EU member states have exhibited varying rates of apple production growth. Technical efficiency (TE) estimation is suitable for identifying best‐practice farm performance. This study examined whether the development of the apple sector in Germany, Italy, and Poland was influenced by production efficiency, access to technology, as well as ...

Federated Learning Based on OPTICS Clustering Optimization

open access: yesDiscrete Dynamics in Nature and Society, 2022
Federated learning (FL) has emerged for solving the problem of data fragmentation and isolation in machine learning based on privacy protection. Each client node uploads the trained model parameter information to the central server based on the local ...

U.S. Consumer Preferences for Cage‐Free Eggs and Hen Housing Policies

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm animal welfare (FAW) continues to be a divisive issue in the egg industry. In the United States, 10 states and most major retailers have implemented policies or voluntary pledges to transition to 100% cage‐free egg sales. We use best‐worst scaling and discrete choice experiments to evaluate U.S.

KL-FedDis: A federated learning approach with distribution information sharing using Kullback-Leibler divergence for non-IID data

open access: yesNeuroscience Informatics
Data Heterogeneity or Non-IID (non-independent and identically distributed) data identification is one of the prominent challenges in Federated Learning (FL).

Who Are the Farmers Participating in a Carbon Sequestration Program? Results of a Discrete Choice Experiment in Germany

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Agricultural soils offer great potential for carbon sequestration through humus formation. One way to motivate farmers to build up humus is through humus programs. These are still at an early stage of development, poorly explored, and the number of participating farmers is low. Our aim is to explain the heterogeneity of farmers' willingness to
