Probability

NTRODUCTION In recent years, detection theory has experienced a constant development, essentially motivated by its direct impact on radar applications: the availability of accurate models, quantifying the impact of clutter, allows one to control the probability of false alarm, to correctly set the detection threshold and to appropriately adjust different system parameters. The model describing signal detection in zero mean Gaussian noise [1] has been progressively extended to fluctuating targets [2] and

of the call was its striking price, underlying stock price, range of movement in the underlying stock price, and the rate of interest. What may seem more incredible is what we do not need to know: among other things, we do not need to know the probability that the stock price will rise or fall. Bulls and bears must agree on the value of the call, relative to its underlying stock price! This example is very simple, but it shows several essential features of option pricing. And we will soon see that

influencent-elles notre manière de travailler sur le risque ? The concept of risk: * The effect of uncertainty on defining and achieving objectives (ISO 31000) * An operational definition in terms of damage/success r = probability of occurrence X seriousness of loss r = probability of occurrence X advantage of gain Ces deux définitions ont une influence sur la façon dont nous travaillions sur les risques. Selon l’ISO 31000, le risque est définit comme l’effet de l’incertitude sur l’atteinte

Sample exam #1 Answer: F QUESTION 4 An economist needs to make an assumption about the distribution of stock market returns in the following year. She decides to use the following numbers: +30% return with 0.3 probability +10% return with 0.6 probability - 30% return with 0.1 probability According to the economist’s assumptions, what is the expected return on the stock market? This is just like the coin-tossing example from lecture. E[r]=30*0.3+10*0.6+(-30)*0.1=12% A. B. C. D. E. F. 0%

factor is subsequent house price appreciation, measured as the MSA-level house price change between the time of origination and the time of loan performance evaluation. For the empirical analysis, we run a proportional odds duration model with the probability of (first-time) delinquency a function of these factors and loan age. We find that loan and borrower characteristics are very important in terms of explaining the crosssection of loan performance. However, because these characteristics were not sufficiently

objective evaluation of the risk in which the hypothesis and uncertainties are clearly considered and presented. One on the difficult part of the risk assessment is to evaluate two different evaluations of risks such as the potential of loss and the probability of occurrence. The risks of an error in the meassurment of those concepts are quiet important. The General Manager: A General Manager has broad, overall responsibility for a business or organization. Whereas a manager may be responsible for

care. In order to focus on how liability affects the incentive to prevent harm, assume first that parties are risk neutral and that accidents are unilateral — only injurers (not victims) influence risk — by their choice of care x. Let p(x) be the probability of an accident that causes harm h, where p is declining in x. Assume that the social objective is to minimize total expected costs, x + p(x)h, and let x* denote the optimal x. Under strict liability, injurers pay damages equal to h whenever an accident
