On the Complexity of Parabolic Initial Value Problems with Variable Drift
We study the intrinsic difficulty of solving linear parabolic initial value problems numerically at a single point. We present a worst case analysis for deterministic as well as fo...

Efficient Pricing of Barrier Options with the Variance-Gamma Model
We develop an efficient Monte Carlo algorithm for pricing barrier options with the variance gamma model (Madan, Carr, and Chang 1998). After generalizing the double-gamma bridge s...

James-Stein shrinkage to improve k-means cluster analysis
We study a general algorithm to improve accuracy in cluster analysis that employs the James-Stein shrinkage effect in k-means clustering. We shrink the centroids of clusters towar...

Modelling the US, UK and Japanese unemployment rates: Fractional integration and structural breaks
In this paper we use a general procedure for fractional integration and structural breaks at unknown points in time, which allows for different orders of integration and determini...

Choice of B-splines with free parameters in the flexible discriminant analysis context
Flexible discriminant analysis (FDA) is a general methodology which aims at providing tools for multigroup non linear classification. It consists in a nonparametric version of dis...
