A study of biomechanical variables in the countermovement jump and the drop jump performed by female intercollegiate athletes
… during countermovement (CMJ) and drop (DJ) jumps. A secondary purpose was to descriptively compare the performances of the two jump conditions. Two sagittal view high speed videocameras filmed 25 female intercollegiate basketball and volleyball athletes performing CMJs and DJs. One CMJ, one …

Finite activity jump models for option pricing
… aims to look at option pricing under affine jump diffusion processes, with particular emphasis on using Fourier transforms. The focus of the thesis is on using Fourier transform to price European options and Barrier options under the Heston stochastic volatility model and the Bates model. …

Scale : the next jump in architectural production
… at which the city is growing. Scale, The next jump in architectural production proposes an alternative development model that capitalizes on the opportunities embedded within the unprecedented scale of concurrent development taking place in Chongqing. By understanding this development as a …

Jump Strategy Changes in Collegiate Women Soccer Players
<p>Countermovement jumps (CMJ) are often utilized to monitor athletes because of their sensitivity to neuromuscular fatigue, which can be seen through assessing jump strategies. The current literature has reported conflicting views on how jump performance is impacted over acute and longitudinal …

Variance reduction for Poisson and Markov jump processes
This thesis develops new variance reduction algorithms for the simulation and estimation of stochastic dynamic models. It provides particular application to particle dynamics models including an emissions process and radioactive decay. These algorithms apply several variance reduction techniques to …

Applications of jump processes in epidemiology and neuroscience
This thesis concerns novel applications of jump processes in epidemiology and neuroscience. A jump process is a stochastic process that models the occurrence of discrete events over time. In epidemiology, the events correspond to catching an infection, recovering from a disease, etc. In …

Modelling Equities with a Stochastic Volatility Jump Diffusion
… examine the effects of stochastic volatility and jumps. Challenges surrounding application of this model are investigated through an evaluation of risk-neutral calibration and simulation methods. The model’s ability to fit the implied volatility surfaces from the JSE Top 40 equity index is …

Manifold joins and jump conditions in general relativity
This thesis has as its aim the analysis of a possible manifold structure on V, a join of two individual manifolds V⁺ and V⁻, and analysing the physics across the join, as implied by Einstein's theory of General Relativity. There are several reasons why one might want to study such a situation. …

Estimation of nonlinear systems using Jump Matrix Technique
… estimator for Nonlinear system estimation using Jump Matrix Technique is developed. The idea of the Jump Matrix Technique is to break up the nonlinear system into linear and nonlinear subsystems. The linear subsystem projection, during the sampling interval, is on the basis of the transition …

Computational option pricing under jump diffusion and Lévy processes
… of various option pricing models with jumps. These models allow for a more realistic representation of price dynamics and greater flexibility in modelling and have therefore been the focus of much recent work. In this thesis the development of a robust finite difference method for the …

Dynamic optimization of two methods of the long jump
… optimized two different techniques of the long jump: the hitchkick and hang. Using video data, I made a dynamic model of both techniques, then created a cost function that took torques and angles into consideration to simulate physical limitations. Using a function minimizing optimizer, …

Numerical Analysis of Jump-Diffusion Models for Option Pricing
Jump-diffusion models can under certain assumptions be expressed as partial integro-differential equations (PIDE). Such a PIDE typically involves a convection term and a nonlocal integral like for the here considered models of Merton and Kou. We transform the PIDE to eliminate the convection term, …

Switched Markov Jump Linear Systems: Analysis and Control Synthesis
Markov jump linear systems find application in many areas including economics, fault-tolerant control, and networked control. Despite significant attention paid to Markov jump linear systems in the literature, few authors have investigated Markov jump linear systems with time-inhomogeneous Markov …

University Athlete Transition: Making the Jump from Sport to Life
The general purpose of this dissertation was to examine how perfectionism might influence career planning through its relationship with career decision making self-efficacy, career goal setting, and career outcome expectations in Canadian university student-athletes. Specifically, this dissertation …
