Calibrating the Hurst Parameter for Rough Volatility Models with Application in the South African Market
It is known that accurate and efficient calibration of any fractional stochastic volatility model is important for trading and risk management purposes. Under the rough Heston model proposed by El Euch et al. (2019), the Hurst parameter governs the roughness of the volatility process. This …

Sampled ancestors and dating in Bayesian phylogenetics
… is not negligible among fossil taxa and the methods that use fossils to date phylogenies should account for this. In this thesis, I develop a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo framework for inferring sampled ancestor phylogenies, investigate properties of the sampled ancestor tree space, test …

Sequential Calibration of Asset Pricing Models to Option Prices
This paper implements four calibration methods on stochastic volatility models. We estimate the latent state and parameters of the models using three non-linear filtering methods, namely the extended Kalman filter (EKF), iterated extended Kalman filter (IEKF) and the unscented Kalman filter (UKF). …

Person tracking in 3D using Kalman filtering in single and multiple camera environments
… coordinate system. We investigate some practical methods of obtaining this calibration information without laying out and measuring calibration markers. Both tracking and calibration methods were tested extensively using 6 different single and multiple camera test sequences. The system is able to …
