A Combinatorial Optimization Model of Interest Rate Term Structure Using Genetic Algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we develop a new term structure model of interest rates with combinatorial optimization method based on four classical models: polynomial spline model, exponential spline model, Nelson-Siegel model and Svensson model. Genetic algorithms are employed to solve the combinatorial optimization model. Then, we make some empirical comparisons of five models using daily bond data from Shanghai Stock Exchange in China covering the years from 2004 to 2009. The results show that the combinatorial optimization model outperforms the other models in most of the statistical indicators. Besides, the combinatorial model has good adaptability and robustness which are applicable in Chinese bond market.

Optimization of profit and customer satisfaction in combinatorial production and purchase model by genetic algorithm
Optimization of inventory costs is the most important goal in industries. But in many models, the constraints are considered simple and relaxed. Some actual constraints are to consider the combinatorial production and purchase models in multi-products environment. The purpose of this article is to improve the efficiency of inventory management and find the economic order quantity and economic p...

The multivariate exponentially weighted moving average (MEWMA) control chart is one of the best statistical control chart that are usually used to detect simultaneous small deviations on the mean of more than one cross-correlated quality characteristics. The economic design of MEWMA control charts involves solving a combinatorial optimization model that is composed of a nonlinear cost function ...
متن کاملAn optimization technique for vendor selection with quantity discounts using Genetic Algorithm
Vendor selection decisions are complicated by the fact that various conflicting multi-objective factors must be considered in the decision making process. The problem of vendor selection becomes still more compli-cated with the inclusion of incremental discount pricing schedule. Such hard combinatorial problems when solved using meta heuristics produce near optimal solutions. This paper propose...
متن کاملDevelopment of a Genetic Algorithm for Advertising Time Allocation Problems
Commercial advertising is the main source of income for TV channels and allocation of advertising time slots for maximizing broadcasting revenues is the major problem faced by TV channel planners. In this paper, the problem of scheduling advertisements on prime-time of a TV channel is considered. The problem is formulated as a multi-unit combinatorial auction based mathematical model. This is a...
