Currently, multiple data vendors utilize the cloud-computing paradigm for trading raw data, associated analytical services, and analytic results as a commodity good. We observe that these vendors often move the functionality of data warehouses to cloud-based platforms. On such platforms, vendors provide services for integrating and analyzing data from public and commercial data sources. We pres...

In the following paper, we provide a review and development of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods ([17, 18, 24]) for option pricing. SMC are a class of Monte Carlo-based algorithms, that are designed to approximate expectations w.r.t a sequence of related probability measures. These approaches have been used, successfully, for a wide class of applications in engineering, statistics and physic...

This paper presents the contemporary Fundamental Theorem of Asset Pricing as being equivalent to approaches to pricing that emerged before 1700 in the context of Virtue Ethics. This is done by considering the history of science and mathematics in the thirteenth and seventeenth century. An explanation as to why these approaches to pricing were forgotten between 1700 and 2000 is given, along with...

In this chapter, we focus on psychological and brain perspectives on the experience of coincidence. We first introduce the topic of the experience of coincidence in general. In the second section, we outline several psychological mechanisms that underlie the experience of coincidence in humans, such as cognitive biases, the role of context and the role of individual differences. In the third an...
