Visualising Error Surfaces For Adaptive Filters And Other Purposes (2003)
Mark Fisher, Danilo M, J. Andrew Bangham, Richard Harvey
Modern neural and adaptive systems often have complicated error performance surfaces with many local extrema. Visualising and understanding these surfaces is critical to effective tuning of these...

Scale-Space Trees and Applications as Filters, for Stereo Vision and Image Retrieval (1999)
J. Andrew Bangham, Kimberly Moravec, Richard Harvey, Mark Fisher
Images are re-mapped as scale-space trees. The minimal data structure is then augmented by "complement nodes" to increase the practical value of the representation. It is then shown how the resulting...

The role that financial innovation plays in financial markets is very controversial. To provide insight into this role, we examine how market participants use the highly successful Treasury STRIPS...
Stock Market Fluctuations and the Term Structure (1999)
Chunsheng Zhou, Mark Fisher, Craig Mackinlay, Matt Pritsker, Robert Stambaugh
This paper uses the term structure of interest rates to explain the variations of stock prices and stock returns. It shows that interest rates have an important impact on stock returns, especially at...
Around and around: The expectations hypothesis (1999)
We show how to construct arbitrage-free models of the term structure of interest rates in which various expectations hypotheses can hold. McCulloch (1993) provided a Gaussian non-Markovian example of...
Spanning and Derivative-Security Valuation (1999)
Gurdip Bakshi, Dilip Madan, David Bates, Peter Carr, Alex David, Steve Figlewski, ...
This paper proposes a methodology for the valuation of contingent securities. In particular, it establishes how the characteristic function (of the future uncertainty) is basis augmenting and spans...

Characterization of Scrap Materials for Mass Detonating Energetic Materials (1998)
Phelan, James M., Barnett, James L., Fisher, Mark, Holland, Ryan
Military test and training ranges generate scrap materials from targets and ordinance debris. These materials are routinely removed from the range for recycling; however, energetic material residues...
Detection of Landmines and Suspected Minefields Using Novel Amplifying Fluorescent Polymers (1998)
LA Grone, Marcus, Fisher, Mark, Cumming, Colin, Towers, Eric
This report describes continuing efforts to detect landmines by using novel fluorescent polymers that sense the ultra-trace concentrations of nitroaromatic compounds emanating from explosives...
Explosive Chemical Signature-Based Detection of IEDs (1998)
The objectives of this contract were as follows: To further characterize and understand the explosive chemical signature of improvised explosive devices (IEDs); Develop and adapt high-volume sampling...

Happy hour economics, or how an increase in demand can produce a decrease in price
The standard supply-and-demand model is typically an economist’s most important analytical tool, but in some situations it does not capture the features of interest. For example, during “happy...
Modeling the term structure of interest rates: an introduction
The yield curve, or the term structure of interest rates, plays a central role in the economy. Monetary policy is conducted by targeting rates at the short end of the curve, and longer-term yields...
This paper presents tractable and efficient numerical solutions to general equilibrium models of asset prices and consumption when the representative agent has recursive preferences. It provides a...
A SERIES SOLUTION TO A SECOND-ORDER QUASI-LINEAR PDE USING MATHEMATICA
Mathematica provides powerful tools for solving differential equations. The functions LogicalExpand and Series can be used to decompose a PDE into a system of ODEs which can then be solved...

Around and around: the expectations hypothesis
We show how to construct arbitrage-free models of the term structure of interest rates in which various expectations hypotheses can hold. McCulloch (1993) provided a Gaussian non-Markovian example of...
Consumption and asset prices and recursive preferences
We analyze consumption and asset pricing with recursive preferences given by Kreps--Porteus stochastic differential utility (K--P SDU). We show that utility depends on two state variables: current...
Consumption and asset prices with homothetic recursive preferences
When preferences are homothetic, utility can be expressed in terms of current consumption and a variable that captures all information about future opportunities. We use this observation to express...
This paper presents tractable and efficient numerical solutions to general equilibrium models of asset prices and consumption where the representative agent has recursive preferences. It provides a...
Forces that shape the yield curve: Parts 1 and 2
The yield curve is shaped by (1) expectations of the future path of short-term interest rates and (2) uncertainty about the path. Uncertainty affects the yield curve through two channels: (1)...
Forces that shape the yield curve
The yield curve shows how the yield on a government bond depends on the bond's maturity. Monetary policymakers and observers pay special attention to the shape of the yield curve as an indicator of...
Special repo rates: an introduction
Transactions involving repurchase agreements (known as repos and reverses) are important tools the Federal Reserve uses in implementing monetary policy. By undertaking such transactions with primary...
Around and Around: The Expectations Hypothesis
We show how to construct models of the term structure of interest rates in which the expectations hypothesis holds. McCulloch (1993) presents such a model, thereby contradicting an assertion by Cox,...
