his study aims first at improving volatility prediction using a machine learning model called support vector regression GARCH (SVR-GARCH) using selected 30 stocks listed on the S&P 500. The authors compare the prediction results of the SVR-GARCH model with the GARCH family models and find that SVR-GARCH outperforms these models based on the performance metrics. The second goal of this study is to calculate value-at-risk (VaR) using predictions obtained in the previous part. Moreover, backtesting is applied to check the accuracy of the VaR results. The findings suggest that using predictions obtained from the SVR-GARCH model boosts VaR calculations and hence provides better financial risk management.

Stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate model with jump and its application on General Electric data
Celep, Betül; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2011)
In this thesis, we present two different approaches for the stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rate model with jump and analyze the performance of four alternative models. In the first approach, suggested by Scott, the closed form solution for prices on European call stock options are developed by deriving characteristic functions with the help of martingale methods. Here, we study the asset price process and give in detail the derivation of the European call option price process. The second appr...
Geospatial object recognition using deep networks for satellite images
Barut, Onur; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
Deep learning paradigm has been drawing significant interest during the last decade due to the recent developments in novel machine learning algorithms and improvements in computational hardware. Satellite image analysis is also an important scientific area with many objectives, such as disaster and crisis management, forest cover, road mapping, city planning, even military purposes. Spatial correlations of land cover or geospatial objects between different images lead to widely utilization of convolutional...
Volatility indexes and an implementation of the Turkish BIST 30 index
Karakurt, Caner; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018)
In 1993, by representing of CBOE Vix, global financial markets met volatility indexes. In 2003, methodology of the CBOE Vix is updated and it took the form which used today. Day after day, volatility indexes have attracted more and more investors and financial institutions, and soon volatility indexes have succeeded in becoming one of the most followed financial indicators. Following these developments, many countries have introduced their implied volatility indexes by using CBOE Vix methodology or its vari...
Cooperative terrain based navigation and coverage identification using consensus
Kasebzadeh, Parinaz; Fritsche, Carsten; Özkan, Emre; Gunnarsson, Fredrik; Gustafsson, Fredrik ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc.; 2015-07-06)
This paper presents a distributed online method for joint state and parameter estimation in a Jump Markov NonLinear System based on a distributed recursive Expectation Maximization algorithm. State inference is enabled via the use of Rao-Blackwellized Particle Filter and, for the parameter estimation, the E-step is performed independently at each sensor with the calculation of local sufficient statistics. An average consensus algorithm is used to diffuse local sufficient statistics to neighbors and approxim...
