The Price of Information

S Jaimungal, X Shi - SIAM Journal on Financial Mathematics, 2024 - SIAM
When an investor is faced with the option to purchase additional information regarding an
asset price, how much should she pay? To address this question, we solve for the …

Bayesian quickest detection in sensor arrays

M Ludkovski - Sequential Analysis, 2012 - Taylor & Francis
We study Bayesian quickest detection problems with sensor arrays. An underlying signal is
assumed to gradually propagate through a network of several sensors, triggering a cascade …

American option pricing and filtering with a hidden regime-switching jump diffusion

TK Siu, RJ Elliott - The Journal of Derivatives, 2022 - pm-research.com
Y (t)= Y c (t)+ Y d (t),(A. 1) where {Y c (t)| t∈ T} and {Y d (t)| t∈ T} are, respectively, the
continuous and discontinuous parts of {Y (t)| t∈ T}. Since the jumps in the return process {Y …

Time‐to‐completion for mergers and acquisitions in the food and agribusiness industry

AO Adelaja, R Mukhopadhyay - Agribusiness, 2022 - Wiley Online Library
Longer time‐to‐completion (TTC) increases transaction costs, delays deal benefits, and
reduces the probability of meeting transaction objectives in mergers and acquisitions (M&A) …

Optimal stopping under partial observation: Near-value iteration

E Zhou - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2012 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
We propose a new approximate value iteration method, namely near-value iteration (NVI), to
solve continuous-state optimal stopping problems under partial observation, which in …

Discrete-type approximations for non-Markovian optimal stopping problems: Part II

SC Bezerra, A Ohashi, F Russo, F de Souza - … and Computing in Applied …, 2020 - Springer
In this paper, we present a Longstaff-Schwartz-type algorithm for optimal stopping time
problems based on the Brownian motion filtration. The algorithm is based on Leão et al …

costs versus the cost of intervention policies. We present a methodology for dynamic …

Optimal stopping of partially observable Markov processes: a filtering-based duality approach

F Ye, E Zhou - IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, 2013 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
In this note, we develop a numerical approach to the problem of optimal stopping of discrete-
time continuous-state partially observable Markov processes (POMPs). Our motivation is to …
