a firm’s credit risk. The Merton model and the Black-Cox model are two popular models that link asset value with equity value, based on the option pricing theories. Under these models, the distance to default can be derived and thus the default probability can be mapped to as long as a large database of companies is provided. The difficulty, however, is that some parameters, including asset values and asset volatilities, which are required in calculating the distance to default, are unobservable in

Dynamics Analysis and Simulation of the Macro Economic Behavior of Taiwan’s Invigorating Economy Consumption Voucher Wen-Chin Wei∗ Abstract Given the severe global economic downturn, countries are using a variety of possible economic policies to try to help their economies recover. This study adopts system dynamics from the dynamic perspective to investigate how Taiwan’s decision to issue time-limited consumption vouchers will influence macro economical behaviors. The simulation led to following

enforcement. Recently, the number of CNG fuel based vehicles in Bangladesh is growing rapidly due to low price and availability of CNG. This change needs some planned substructures. One of the most important substructures is the CNG refueling stations distributions. Necessity of making a systematic process to locate CNG stations is vital because at present there is no fixed system to locate CNG stations throughout the country. Waiting or queuing is a common phenomenon in service organization like CNG filling

Example distribution with non-zero (positive) skewness. These data are from experiments on wheat grass growth. In probability theory and statistics, skewness is a measure of the asymmetry of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable about its mean. The skewness value can be positive or negative, or even undefined. The qualitative interpretation of the skew is complicated. For a unimodal distribution, negative skew indicates that the tail on the left side of the probability density

deployment of the network, to increase the capacity of the system. For this purpose, appropriate models, including the space and time domain dynamics of the traffic modeling the moving hotspot characteristics, have been integrated into a system simulation tool. Meta-heuristics techniques such as Tabu Search and Simulated Annealing have been implemented to solve this NP-hard problem. Results show that the existence of optimal configurations can have an achievable capacity gain of more than 30%.
