Optimal dividends strategy in a two-state regime-switching environment.

problem Maximizing profits from dividends until bankruptcy in a company with fluctuating cash surplus and regime changes in drift, volatility, and bankruptcy levels.
method Analyzes the optimal dividend payout strategy considering four factors: Brownian fluctuations in cash surplus, regime changes in drift, volatility, and bankruptcy levels.
result Rich structure of the optimal strategy, which can be either barrier-type or liquidation-barrier type, depending on model parameters.

In this paper we propose a semi-Markov modulated model of interest rates. We assume that the switching process is a semi-Markov process with finite state space E and the modulated process is a diffusive process. We derive recursive equations for the higher order moments of the discount factor and we describe a Monte Ca…

This research identifies flaws in drift detection methods and creates adversarial data streams to exploit them.

problem The challenge of detecting data distribution changes (drift) in real-time systems.
method Developed adversarial data streams to show weaknesses in existing drift detection schemes.
result Demonstrated that common drift detection methods can be fooled by adversarial data streams.

Classifiers operating in a dynamic, real world environment, are vulnerable to adversarial activity, which causes the data distribution to change over time. These changes are traditionally referred to as concept drift, and several approaches have been developed in literature to deal with the problem of drift handling an…

Concept drift is formally defined as the change in joint distribution of a set of input variables X and a target variable y. The two types of drift that are extensively studied are real drift and virtual drift where the former is the change in posterior probabilities p(y|X) while the latter is the change in distributio…
