Market Risk and Model Risk For a Financial Institution Writing Options

Trading in derivatives involves heavy use of quantitative models for valuation and risk management. These models are necessarily imperfect, and when options are involved, the models require a volatility input that must be forecasted, subject to error. This creates “model risk” to which nearly all participants in derivatives markets are exposed. In this paper, we conduct an empirical sim…

Business statistics with Excel and Tableau A hands-on guide with screencasts…

I began business life as an entrepreneur in business in Hong Kong. I ran trade exhibitions, imported coffee from Kenya, and started and operated two restaurants, one of which (unusually for Hong Kong) served vegetarian food. These businesses were profitable, but I would have saved myself a great deal of stress, and done better if I had used some business intelligence informed by statistics to i…

Android Application Development with Maven

During the months we were writing this book, a lot of people asked us what would make this book special and why someone should care to read it. The most powerful argument that I heard all this time was, "Hey, Google official supports only Gradle to build Android applications and the latest release of Android Studio makes extensive use of Gradle. Ant was already replaced and Maven is nowhere. Wh…

Some volunteer surgeons may be interested in providing care for civilian victims of war in developing countries. More commonly, volunteers will be increasingly confronted with nonintentional acute and chronic trauma cases, mostly from road traffic accidents. On rare occasions, they might even participate in the relief and reconstruction efforts after natural disasters. There are significant dif…

Tuberculosis of the Musculoskeletal System

Tuberculosis remains a major source of morbidity and mortality world- wide, and orthopaedic surgeons working in developing nations, especially in South East Asia, are likely to encounter patients with osteoarticular manifestations of the disease. Chemotherapy is effective, and surgery serves as an adjunct for specific indications. Tuberculous osteomyelitis is the least common presentation, and …

The Neglected Clubfoot

The neglected clubfoot deformity is a major disabler of children and adults in developing nations. The bones and joints of the foot deform into fixed equinus, adductus, cavus, and supination as patients walk on the side or dorsum of the foot. There is severe obliquity of the calcaneocuboid joint, which must be corrected in most cases. An algorithmic surgical approach, using peritalar soft tissu…

Chronic Osteomyelitis in Children

In developing countries, chronic osteomyelitis often results from untreated acute hematogenous osteomyelitis but may also be seen as sequelae of trauma (war injuries). This condition is characterized by areas of devitalized bone/soft tissue (sequestra), which serve as a nidus for recurrent episodes of infection. The periosteal response (involucrum) serves to restore structural integrity, and pa…
