Match Stability with a Costly and Flexible Number of Positions by James Gilmore, David Porter

“…Most existing research in this field assumes that the quotas of organizations are fixed and externally determined, which may not always be realistic. We introduce the concept of slot stability, which considers the possibility that organizations may want to adjust their quotas after the match process. …”

Estimation of the Cholesky Multivariate Stochastic Volatility Model Using Iterated Filtering by Piotr Szczepocki

“…Aim: The paper aims to propose a new estimation method for the Cholesky Multivariate Stochastic Volatility Model based on the iterated filtering algorithm (Ionides et al., 2006, 2015). Methodology: The iterated filtering method is a frequentist-based technique that through multiple repetitions of the filtering process, provides a sequence of iteratively updated parameter estimates that converge towards the maximum likelihood estimate. …”

An Optimal Approach for Assessing Weibull Parameters and Wind Power Potential for Six Coastal Cities in Pakistan by Ghulam Abbas, Arshad Ali, Faizan Rashid, Naveed Ashraf, Zohaib Mushtaq, Muhammad Zubair

“…In this research, we have ameliorated the performance of the recently-introduced novel energy pattern factor method (NEPFM) via a direct search algorithm, i.e., simplex search algorithm (SSA). We designate the resulting algorithm as NEPFM-SSA as it took NEPFM’s Weibull distribution parameters as an initial guess and retuned them with the help of the simplex search algorithm to get updated Weibull distribution parameters, which ensure better fitting characteristics. …”
