This thesis presents a comprehensive example framework on how current multiple model state estimation algorithms for jump Markov linear systems can be improved. The possible improvements are categorized as: -Design of multiple model state estimation algorithms using new criteria. -Improvements obtained using existing multiple model state estimation algorithms. In the first category, risk-sensitive estimation is proposed for jump Markov linear systems. Two types of cost functions namely, the instantaneous and cumulative cost functions related with risk-sensitive estimation are examined and for each one, the corresponding multiple model estate estimation algorithm is derived. For the cumulative cost function, the derivation involves the reference probability method where one defines and uses a new probability measure under which the involved processes has independence properties. The performance of the proposed risk-sensitive filters are illustrated and compared with conventional algorithms using simulations. The thesis addresses the second category of improvements by proposing -Two new online transition probability estimation schemes for jump Markov linear systems. -A mixed multiple model state estimation scheme which combines desirable properties of two different multiple model state estimation methods. The two online transition probability estimators proposed use the recursive Kullback-Leibler (RKL) procedure and the maximum likelihood (ML) criteria to derive the corresponding identification schemes. When used in state estimation, these methods result in an average error decrease in the root mean square (RMS) state estimation errors, which is proved using simulation studies. The mixed multiple model estimation procedure which utilizes the analysis of the single Gaussian approximation of Gaussian mixtures in Bayesian filtering, combines IMM (Interacting Multiple Model) filter and GPB2 (2nd Order Generalized Pseudo Bayesian) filter efficiently. The resulting algorithm reaches the performance of GPB2 with less Kalman filters.

A Bayesian Approach to Learning Scoring Systems
Ertekin Bolelli, Şeyda (2015-12-01)
We present a Bayesian method for building scoring systems, which are linear models with coefficients that have very few significant digits. Usually the construction of scoring systems involve manual efforthumans invent the full scoring system without using data, or they choose how logistic regression coefficients should be scaled and rounded to produce a scoring system. These kinds of heuristics lead to suboptimal solutions. Our approach is different in that humans need only specify the prior over what the ...
Pricing spread and basket options under markov-modulated models
Kozpınar, Sinem; Uğur, Ömür; Eksi Altay, Zehra; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018)
This thesis first aims to study the evaluation of spread and basket options under the classical Markov-modulated framework, for which a transition in the Markov process leads to a switch in the model parameters. In this regard, we provide approximations to the exact option prices based on ideas from the literature without regime switching. We start with pricing spread options when risky assets follow Markov-modulated geometric Brownian motions (MMGBMs). In this context, we focus on the regime-switching vers...
Fast Algorithms for Digital Computation of Linear Canonical Transforms
Koc, Aykut; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Ozaktas, Haldun M.; Kutay, M. Alper (2016-01-01)
Fast and accurate algorithms for digital computation of linear canonical transforms (LCTs) are discussed. Direct numerical integration takes O.N-2/time, where N is the number of samples. Designing fast and accurate algorithms that take O. N logN/time is of importance for practical utilization of LCTs. There are several approaches to designing fast algorithms. One approach is to decompose an arbitrary LCT into blocks, all of which have fast implementations, thus obtaining an overall fast algorithm. Another a...
Application of ODSA to population calculation

In this thesis, Optimum Decoding-based Smoothing Algorithm (ODSA) is applied to well-known Discrete Lotka-Volterra Model. The performance of the algorithm is investigated for various parameters by simulations. Moreover, ODSA is compared with the SIR Particle Filter Algorithm. The advantages and disadvantages of the both algorithms are presented.
Improving Computational Efficiency of Particle Swarm Optimization for Optimal Structural Design
Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (2013-06-01)
This paper attempts to improve the computational efficiency of the well known particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm for tackling discrete sizing optimization problems of steel frame structures. It is generally known that, in structural design optimization applications, PSO entails enormously time-consuming structural analyses to locate an optimum solution. Hence, in the present study it is attempted to lessen the computational effort of the algorithm, using the so called upper bound strategy (UBS), wh...
