In this paper, Peaks Over Threshold (POT) method of Extreme Value Theory was utilized. A conditional approach of the EVT was applied with the aid of ARMA-GARCH models to correct for the effects of autocorrelation and conditional heteroscedastic terms. Maximum likelihood estimates of model parameters for the fitted Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) were computed. These techniques were applied to the daily returns of Bangko de Oro, Mega World Corporation, Semirara Mining and Power Corporation, SM Investments Corporation, and Universal Robina Corporation. A comparison of value at risk (VaR) estimates showed that as becomes smaller, VaR estimates under normal distribution tend to underestimate VaR while estimates under EVT approaches the empirical results. Backtesting using the Basel Committee three-zone approach to assess the accuracy of VaR models reveal that VaR models under normality are not able to capture extreme returns and therefore underestimate tail risk while VaR models under EVT have high probability of model accuracy.","PeriodicalId":15007,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Computational Mathematics","volume":"58 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84895893","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By varying the dimple size, depth and number, the effects of these characteristics are simulated via a MatLab code in which the Dormand-Prince Runge Kutta method is implemented to solve the model equations. The results of the numerical simulations that show how the golf ball trajectory is influenced by the dimple characteristics such as dimple depth, size and number within the accepted range of the Reynolds number are displayed and discussed.","PeriodicalId":15007,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Computational Mathematics","volume":"76 1","pages":"1-9"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91026033","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The fluid considered in this study is an optically dense viscous incompressible fluid with all its properties assumed to be constant except for its viscosity which depends linearly with its temperature. Non-linear Rosseland approximation is used to describe the radiative heat flux in the energy equation. The mathematical model capturing the present physical situation is highly non-linear due to the presence of thermal radiation effects. The governing equations for the flow formation are solved by the Adomian decomposition method (ADM). Effects of the controlling physical parameters involved in the velocity and temperature fields are presented graphically and discussed. In the course of investigation, it was found that; the fluid velocity increases with increase in thermal radiation and viscosity variation parameters while the fluid temperature increases with increase in thermal radiation.","PeriodicalId":15007,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Computational Mathematics","volume":"10 1","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79101676","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is a requirement for customer relationship managers, especially at financial and credit institutions and at banks, to calculate and determine the customer’s creditworthiness and credit score. The aim of this study is to present a solution for calculating the customers’ value and their credit score without incurring the costs for collecting extra information. The primary source of data for this study is operation system database. Due to differences among operation systems, a comprehensive schema of the database is defined first. Only conventional indices and variables have been used in this schema, so that the presented solution can be generalized and will be applicable to most economic institutions. The calculation of the customer’s creditworthiness is performed with regard to the three variables of the “recency” of contact, the “frequency” of transactions, and the “monetary” amount. The collected data is divided into the two populations of “good” and “bad” customers. Variables from those two populations that possess significant differences are identified using statistical methods. Those variables are used in determining the customer’s credit score. Next, a solution is presented for comparing the efficiency of the models for the identification of the customer’s credit score. We will test and compare two statistical methods, the Logistic Regression model and the Fisher Discriminant Analysis, and two soft computing methods, the Multilayer Perception Network and the Vector Machine for determining the customer’s credit score. Additionally, a solution is offered for setting the number of layers and the number of neurons in the Multilayer Perception Network.","PeriodicalId":15007,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Applied and Computational Mathematics","volume":"1 1","pages":"1-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75545112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
