Sales forecasting is a common problem in economics. Lottery sales are one of the favorite issues of sales forecasting. Sales of lottery tickets depend on many economical issues and such a problem was investigated previously (Beensock et al., 2002) where Genetic Programming is used in order to construct different agent structures that predict the number of ticket sales in Israel lottery. In each application in (Beensock et al., 2002), only a single agent is developed to predict the number of ticket sales at a present drawing. Instead we propose a Local Decision-Making model which performs the sales forecasting job in multiple levels by employing agent structures that operate locally and combine their decisions via a suitable decision fusion technique. It seems that Local Decision-Making in Multiple Levels fits well for the problem. © 2011 IFAC.

Local volatility model applied to BIST30 european warrants: pricing and hedging Kirazoğlu, Zekiye Sıla; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) One of the basic observations on pricing options is that the assumption of constant volatility does not agree with data and market price data gives a volatility smile that depends on maturities and strike prices. The ﬁrst model that developed to be compatible with this observation is the local volatility model. The purpose of this work is to study the performance of the local volatility model on BIST30 warrants and compare it to the standard Black Scholes model. To estimate the local volatility model from d...
Profit maximizing shipment consolidation with uncertain shipment requests Öztürk, Ergin; Savaşaneril Tüfekci, Seçil; Yüksel Özkaya, Banu; Department of Industrial Engineering (2022-8) In this study, a profit maximizing shipment consolidation problem is under consideration. There are multiple shippers characterized by uncertain shipment requests, who consolidate their orders and make dispatch decisions jointly, in order to maximize total profit. The problem is modeled as a continuous-time Markov Decision Process. For the two-shipper setting the structure of the optimal policy is characterized under certain conditions. For the multiple-shipper setting obtaining the optimal policy is diffic...
Nonlinear models for UK macroeconomic time series Ocal, N (2000-09-01) This paper examines possible nonlinearities in growth rates of nine U.K. macroeconomic time series, namely gross domestic product, price, consumption, retail sales, personal disposable income, savings, investment, industrial production and unemployment, chosen as representative of series typically used to investigate business cycle fluctuations. By basing analysis on the class of smooth-transition autoregressive (STAR) models, it is assumed that the economy can be in one of two states with distinct dynamics...
Corporate strategies for currency risk management Tekcan, İsmail Berat; Kestel, A. Sevtap.; Department of Financial Mathematics (2019) For many years, forecasting the sales has been thought as a significant fundamental for the companies that operate in fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Companies that are successful in predicting their sales, also have the strength to manage company’s financials. Also, companies have the chance to react to tough situations that they might face. In the academic literature, there exist many studies about forecasting the future of sales. However, there are limited studies about how the companies foreca...
Uncertainty, macroprudential policies and corporate leverage: Firm-level evidence Yarba, Ibrahim; Güner, Zehra Nuray (2020-06-01) This paper investigates the impact of macroprudential policies and uncertainty of economic environment on corporate leverage dynamics over the last decade. This is the first study to investigate the impact of macroprudential policies and uncertainty on leverage dynamics of Turkish non-financial firms using firm-level data. We argue in this paper that persistence of uncertainty should be a more appropriate factor affecting credit dynamics rather than uncertainty. In that sense, we construct a measure of unce...
