Financial processes as processes in nature, are subject to stochastic fluctuations. Stochastic differential equations turn out to be an advantageous representation of such noisy, real-world problems, and together with their identification, they play an important role in the sectors of finance, but also in physics and biotechnology. These equations, however, are often hard to represent and to resolve. Thus we express them in a simplified manner of approximation by discretization and additive models based on splines. This defines a trilevel problem consisting of an optimization and a representation problem (portfolio optimization), and a parameter estimation (Weber et al. Financial Regression and Organization. In: Special Issue on Optimization in Finance, DCDIS-B, 2010). Two types of parameters dependency, linear and nonlinear, are considered by constructing a penalized residual sum of squares and investigating the related Tikhonov regularization problem for the first one. In the nonlinear case Gauss Newton's method and Levenberg-Marquardt's method are employed in determining the iteration steps. Both cases are treated using continuous optimization techniques by the elegant framework of conic quadratic programming. These convex problems are well-structured, hence, allowing the use of the efficient interior point methods. Furthermore, we present nonparametric and related methods, and introduce into research done at the moment in our research groups which ends with a conclusion.

Multiscale volatility analysis via malliavin calculus İnkaya, B. Alper; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018) In this thesis, we study multifractal stochastic processes and stability properties of stochastic processes with the aim of analyzing the multiscale characteristics of dynamic risk premiums present in financial asset prices. Multifractal processes are first defined to model the statistical properties of turbulent flows and characterized by the scale-invariance property, which implies volatility clustering, long-range dependency and multiplicative instead of additive behavior. The multifractal characterizati...
Aggregate Claim Estimation Using Bivariate Hidden Markov Model Oflaz, Zarina Nukeshtayeva; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2019-01-01) In this paper, we propose an approach for modeling claim dependence, with the assumption that the claim numbers and the aggregate claim amounts are mutually and serially dependent through an underlying hidden state and can be characterized by a hidden finite state Markov chain using bivariate Hidden Markov Model (BHMM). We construct three different BHMMs, namely Poisson-Normal HMM, Poisson-Gamma HMM, and Negative Binomial- Gamma HMM, stemming from the most commonly used distributions in insurance studies. E...
Modeling the CDS Prices: An application to the MENA Region Namuslu, Merve; Ayaydın Hacıömeroğlu, Hande; Danışoğlu, Seza (2017-01-05) The objective of this paper is to study the pricing of a single-name credit default swap (CDS) contract via the discounted cash flow method with reduced-form survival probability functions depending on stochastic intensity. The ability of the model in predicting the market-observed spreads is tested as well by using bond and CDS data of MENA countries. In credit risk modeling, the CIR (Cox-Ingersoll-Ross) model is used. The main reason for using a reduced-form model in pricing the CDS contracts is the advan...
The Invisible capital Yılmazer, Berkant; Oran, Adil; Muğan, Fatma Naciye Can; Department of Business Administration (2017) This thesis analyzes the human capital and aims develop techniques to recognize human capital under Statement of Financial Position. National Basketball Association (NBA) players were used as a sample group because professional athletics are human intensive and players are the most valuable assets for their teams. The study includes the NBA team rosters for seasons between 2005-06 and 2013-14. A final list of 2,059 contracts for 774 players were grouped under three headings as “Option”, “Minimum Salary” and...
THE DETERMINANTS OF CREDIT CRUNCH IN TURKISH BANKING SECTOR: EVIDENCE FROM GRANULAR BANK-LEVEL DATA Şenol, Ahmet; Ercan, Hakan; Department of Economics (2021-6-29) Understanding pattern of the lending through macroeconomic indicators and financial fundamentals have an utmost significance to define and illustrate cycle of economic activity and supervision of financial stability. Both academicians and regulatory officials of countries widely involve the lending behaviors due to these factors in their works, globally. The studies conducting by central banks of advanced economies as well as emerging countries’ central banks, international regulatory and supervisory instit...
