We will aim to show how outliers are detected using a sliding window of three points in the use case of High Frequency and Low Frequency time series data. This technique will be applied to this use case and an explanation of how the outliers were categorized will be provided. Experimental results will show that the algorithm created works successfully.","PeriodicalId":363330,"journal":{"name":"Computation Theory eJournal","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124236534","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}

In this paper, two explicit finite difference schemes, that is the forward time centre space (FTCS) and Saulev’s scheme methods are considered for solving fuzzy time fractional diffusion equation.

A numerical example is presented to illustrate the feasibility of the proposed methods.","PeriodicalId":363330,"journal":{"name":"Computation Theory eJournal","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125940422","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}

One important type of data that is particularly relevant to medicine is observational data from actual practice. In comparison to experimental data from clinical studies, observational data offers much larger sample sizes and much broader coverage of patient variables. Properly combining observational data with experimental data can facilitate precision medicine by enabling detection of heterogeneity in patient responses to treatments and tailoring of health care to the specific needs of individuals. However, because it is high‐dimensional and uncontrolled, observational data presents unique methodological challenges. The modeling and analysis tools of the production and operations management field are well‐suited to these challenges and hence POM scholars are critical to the realization of precision medicine with its many benefits to society.","PeriodicalId":363330,"journal":{"name":"Computation Theory eJournal","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124574216","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}

In this study, the use of Wright formal ADL and Ada programming language was proposed to check the behavioral properties of SCDL/WS-BPEL ServiceComponent architectures. To achieve this, the mapping of SCDL/WS-BPEL to the Wright formal ADL was suggested in order to verify the standard behavioral consistency of the source description. As a second step, the target specification could be transformed into Ada to check the specific and dynamic behavioral properties of the SCDL/WS-BPEL source architecture.","PeriodicalId":363330,"journal":{"name":"Computation Theory eJournal","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133139021","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}

Shimada","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3072304","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3072304","url":null,"abstract":"A famous crypto-currency “Bitcoin” was invented in 2009. Since then, we have observed dramatic fluctuation of its price due to the nature of crypto-currency. In other words, the level of the fluctuation seems totally different from the ordinary financial assets like equities, interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Therefore it is afraid that the well-known framework of PDE used for those financial assets, is not suitable to express Bitcoin’s dynamics. In this article, an algorithm of artificial market simulation model, so called “150 Agents Model” is proposed to express the fluctuation of Bitcoin price. The model is composed of two types of agents, Traders and Non-Traders, who trade Bitcoin through “itayose” method. The aim of the model is not pricing Bitcoin exactly for trading. Rather it could visualize the structure implied behind the price actions. By calibrating the model to actual price fluctuation of Bitcoin, we are able to see the overall market picture composed of agents to recognize their target prices and price sensitivities as the driver of the price dynamics, to predict the range of next big fluctuation and to recognize how the change of agent’s target price and its sensitivity to the price change, affect the landscape of the price range. This model is versatile and flexible. We could add new agents, take new issued amount into consideration, express flash crush and also simulate fluctuation of ordinary financial assets like foreign exchange rates by applying a moderate range of the parameters, which could produce a kind of Elliot Wave dynamics.","PeriodicalId":363330,"journal":{"name":"Computation Theory eJournal","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123073293","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}

This semiparametric setup differs from most of the existing identification and estimation literature for dynamic discrete choice models. To show identification we derive and exploit a new Bellman-like recursive representation for the unknown quantile function of the utility shocks. Our estimators are straightforward to compute; some are simple and require no iteration, and resemble classic estimators from the literature on semiparametric regression and average derivative estimation. Monte Carlo simulations demonstrate that our estimator performs well in small samples. To highlight features of this estimator, we estimate a structural model of dynamic labor supply for New York City taxicab drivers.","PeriodicalId":363330,"journal":{"name":"Computation Theory eJournal","volume":"151 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123382978","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}
