Calibrating a Latent Order Book Model to Market Data
We investigate the formulation of the Latent Order Book (LOB) as a reaction diffusion Partial Differential Equation (PDE) and its subsequent numerical solution through an explicit method based on discrete stochastic processes. The numerical solution is calibrated using likelihood-free methods, …

Calibrating activity-based travel demand model system via microsimulation
This thesis addresses the problem of calibrating activity-based travel demand model systems. After estimation, it is common practice to use aggregate measurements to calibrate the estimated model system's parameters. However, calibration of activity-based model systems has received much less …

Calibrating the LaModel Program for Shallow Cover Multiple-Seam Mines
Stable underground mine openings are fundamental to ensuring the safety of miners and providing a safe work environment. During the past decade, approximately 40% of underground mining fatalities were caused by roof falls, rib collapses, or bumps/bursts, 19% of which occurred during retreat mining …

Simulating and calibrating stretchable optical fibers for studying neural dynamics
Study of the central nervous system (CNS) in freely-moving animal behavior experiments is greatly limited by the materials available for neural probing and optical recording, such as silica, which are stiff and can damage neural tissue with vigorous test subject movement. In this work, we develop a …
