Time-varying volatility model equipped with regime switching factor: valuation of option price written on energy futures by Leduc, Guillaume

“…We develop a semi-analytical method to determine the price of European options on these energy futures, involving the derivation of the characteristic function for the energy futures' dynamics. To determine the parameters of the regime switching model and identify when economic states change, we employ the EM algorithm, utilizing real gas futures price data. …”

Convergence analysis of the variable weight mixed-norm LMS-LMFadaptive algorithm by Zerguine, A.

“…In this work, the convergence analysis of the variable weight mixed-norm LMS-LMF (least mean squares-least mean fourth) adaptive algorithm is derived. The proposed algorithm minimizes an objective function defined as a weighted sum of the LMS and LMF cost functions where the weighting factor is time varying and adapts itself so as to allow the algorithm to keep track of the variations in the environment. …”

Tracking analysis of the NLMS algorithm in the presence of both random and cyclic nonstationarities by Moinuddin, M.

“…The results show that, unlike in the stationary case, the steady-state excess MSE is not a monotonically increasing function of the step size. Moreover, the ability of the adaptive algorithm to track the variations in the environment is shown to degrade with increasing frequency offset.…”
