Dispositional anxiety is a well-established risk factor for the development of anxiety and other emotional disorders. These disorders are common, debilitating, and challenging to treat, pointing to the need to understand the more elementary neurocognitive mechanisms that confer elevated risk. Importantly, many of the maladaptive behaviors characteristic of anxiety, such as worry, occur when thr...

The recent popularity of copulas in the analysis and modelling of multivariate financial time series arises from several applications in the financial sector. This paper surveys the most important techniques of modelling and measuring distributional dependence with a view towards financial applications such as pricing and hedging financial instruments and portfolio risk management. The term dis...

-This paper proposes a new industry custom power system with a new static var compensator (SVC) main circuit topology, and then introduces the wiring scheme of the new rectifier transformer, the harmonic suppression mechanism of the inductive filtering different from the traditional passive filtering (PF) and the active filtering (AF), and the dynamic reactive compensation at the third side of ...

A sequential filtering scheme for the risk-sensitive state estimation of partially observed Markov chains is presented. The previously introduced risk-sensitive filters are unified in the context of risk-sensitive maximum a posterior probability estimation. Structural results for the filter banks are given. The influence of the availability of information and the transition probabilities on the...

The stock market has always been an attractive area for researchers since no method has been found yet to predict the stock price behavior precisely. Due to its high rate of uncertainty and volatility, it carries a higher risk than any other investment area, thus the stock price behavior is difficult to simulation. This paper presents a “data mining-based evolutionary fuzzy expert system” (DEFE...
