The paper aims to investigate the effect of long-term debt on th...

In a programming project, it is easy to lose track of which files need to be reprocessed or recompiled after a change is made in some part of the source. Make provides a simple mechanism for maintaining up-to-date versions of programs that result from many operations on a number of files. It is possible to tell Make the sequence of commands that create certain files, and the list of files that ...

Financial firms make up a substantial fraction of the domestic equity market. A number of studies subsequently used different conceptual and methodological approaches to model equity return of financial services firms. Movement of the stock price as the consequence of the movement of the micro and macroeconomic factors is strongly supported by the literature review. Amman Stock Exchange in Jord...

this paper, a pattern-based stock data mining approach which transforms the numeric stock data to symbolic sequences, carries out sequential and non-sequential association analysis and uses the mined rules in classifying/predicting the further price movements is proposed. Two formulations of the problem are considered. They are intra-stock mining which focuses on finding frequently appearing pa...

We study a multicomponent, multiproduct production and inventory system in which individual components are made to stock but final products are assembled to customer orders. Each component is produced by an independent production facility with finite capacity, and the component inventory is controlled by an independent base-stock policy. For any given base-stock policy, we derive the key perfor...

Most procedures for modeling and forecasting financial asset return volatilities rely on restrictive and complicated parametric GARCH or stochastic volatility models. The method of realized volatility constructed from high-frequency intraday returns is an alternative choice for volatility measurement. In this paper we make an empirical analysis on Chinese stock index data by using the method of...

Manufacturing companies want to implement the make-to-order (MTO) strategy to be more flexible and responsive to the volatility of demand and product variability. However, the make-to-stock (MTS) approach is an appealing concept due to its desirable performance properties: high capacity utilization, high availability and short lead times. This paper aims to define a methodology that combines th...

Classification of Indian stock market data has always been a certain appeal for researchers. In this paper, first time combination of three supervised machine learning algorithms, classification and regression tree (CART) , linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) are proposed for classification of Indian stock market data, which gives simple interpretation o...
