Mortgage Rate "Buydowns" Can Sell Houses in Slow Markets: To help move at least some of the unsold houses glutting local markets, lenders are beginning to look "Back to the future" for financing techniques that worked in the tough times of the 1980s. One creative technique is known as a mortgage rate "Buydown." Rather than lower the asking price...; Tags: financing, payment, technique; White papers 2006-10-09
Techniques For Warehousing Of Sample Data: We consider the problem of maintaining a warehouse of sampled data that "Shadows" a full-scale data warehouse, in order to support quick approximate analytics and metadata discovery. The full-scale warehouse comprises many "Data sets," where a data set is a bag of values; the data sets can vary enormously in...; Tags: IBM Corp., warehouse, warehousing, analytics, data warehouse, technique; White papers 2005-11-03
Using Data Mining Technology to Identify and Prioritize Emerging Opportunities for Mortgage Lending: To compete successfully amid new technologies and regulations, lenders will need to utilize data mining techniques to develop powerful models that can identify undertapped markets with the most potential. This paper illustrates how to gather and preprocess the requisite data for such a project and to develop and assess alternative...; Tags: SAS Institute, neural network, data mining, modeling, network; White papers 2005-06-28
Mapping the Induction of Magnetic Field Around an Applicator for Dermato Magnetotherapy, Using the Magnetic Resonance Method: The paper deals with measuring magnetic induction by imaging techniques based on magnetic resonance MR and describe experimental results of mapping the magnetic induction of a dermatological applicator for magnetotherapy performed by MR imaging techniques.

Anisotropic Interpolation of DT-MRI: Diffusion tensor MRI (DT-MRI) is an image modality that is gaining clinical importance. After some preliminaries that describe the fundamentals of this imaging modality, they present a new technique to interpolate the diffusion tensor field, preserving boundaries and the constraint of positive-semi definiteness. Their approach is based on the use...; Tags: PRODUCTIVITY, Springer-Verlag, technique, digital image, imaging; White papers 2004-09-01
Accuracy does matter: High-End Numerical Techniques for the Robust Pricing of Structured Financial Instruments: This white paper presents the ideas behind these advanced numerical techniques. Parameter calibration in interest rate models is a notorious instable problem. It also presents the reason behind this phenomenon, and how regularization techniques should be applied to stabilize the problem. Many partial differential equations which arise in pricing of...; Tags: PRODUCTIVITY, Financial accounting, financial instrument, interest rate, technique, pricing strategy, financial; White papers 2004-03-01

Estimation Of Markov Regime-Switching Regression Models With Endogenous Switching: Following Hamilton (1989), estimation of Markov regime-switching regressions nearly always relies on the assumption that the latent state variable controlling the regime change is exogenous. One can relax this assumption and develop two techniques to estimate Markov-switching models with endogenous switching. The first extends the endogenous switching models in Maddala...; Tags: PRODUCTIVITY, Investment, Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, regression, estimation, volatility, technique, equity; White papers 2003-06-01
