Researchers at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine have identified a family of genes that may control the ability of the optic nerve to regenerate. The discovery of this gene family, as published in the October 9 issue of Science, is a big step forward for both visual science and neuroscience. The finding may one day lead to treatment advances for diseases such as glaucoma and optic nerve stroke (also called anterior ischemic optic neuropathy, or AION), as well as spinal cord injury and other neurodegenerative diseases of the brain and spinal cord.
The axons of retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) form the optic nerve that transmits electrical impulses from the retina to the brain, allowing a person to see. RGCs that are damaged or injured result in diminished or lost vision. Once thought incapable of regenerating, RGCs showed improved regeneration in the optic nerve after manipulating one of these recently identified genes.

Festive Flight for Bramble Ward
Wednesday 07 December 2011
A local Santa flight brought a little festive cheer for 21 children from the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital on Tuesday (06/12/11).
The children, currently receiving treatment for cancer, in the hospital's Bramble Ward joined the specially chartered Flybe sponsored flight with Santa and key players from Exeter City Football Club's First Team squad on a 40 minute flight with plenty of excitement.
Exeter Airport's managing director Matt Roach who was invited to join the flight over and around Exeter and the local coastline said: "It was a pleasure for the airport to work with Flybe on their project to give very deserving local children a memorable Christmas experience."
The flight, on the airline's new Embraer 175 aircraft, was joined by Jim French, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Flybe who experience the aircraft for the first time and hosted the in-flight event.
Exeter City Football Club's Director of Football, Steve Perryman also joined in the fun and the children were able to meet players from the club.
The youngsters were welcomed at the airport by the football club's popular mascot, Grecian the Lion and Exeter's 'Build a Bear' mascot together with players James Dunne, Scott Golbourne, Troy Archibald Henville, Richard Logan, Daniel Nardiello, David Noble, Jake Taylor and Steve Tully.
CLIC Sargent Social Worker from the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Heather Rake, said: "These children have to endure prolonged and harsh treatment, which disrupts the whole of their family life. To be able to give them a treat like this flight is fantastic and helps not just the children and families, but also the staff caring for them, by giving them something positive to focus on."

Anyone know about Brucelliosis?(Undulant Fever)
I have been diagnosed with this about 2 weeks ago. So far, I am worse instead of better with the meds! Does anyone know of this, know anyone with it, or any thing at all to help me understand.
I am now on medical leave and taking the 6 week therapy, but so far just worse instead of better. Dr. said this may happen and maybe turn chronic. I hope I don't feel like this forever!
Thanks, Melinda
Yes, it is very rare in the US! I have been to an infection control specialist who did what he called a "living autopsy" and was the one who diagnosed it. He redid the labs to double check and it is definitely brucellosis.
Yes, I am doing the oral 6 week treatment and am on the 2nd week. I just feel worse instead of better. It makes me wonder if I will ever feel good again!
Apparently, I got it about 3 years ago. I remember when I got very sick and no one could figure it out. It finally got better, but the last 3 years have had numerous flus, etc. which gradually got better on their own. Meds didn't seem to help much! Dr. stated probably occurences and then better and would reoccur often. More freq. as I had it longer and with more symptoms.
As I have had it and apparently each reoccurence has been worse than the one before and this time, been sick most of the last 6 months until they finally sent me to the infection control specialist.
I was just hoping someone else might know someone who has had it, how likely I won't get a reoccurence after this and if the 6 week rx. might work well. Dr. said I may need Iv therapy if this doesn't kick it. (due to the fact I have kept it so long).
I did get it from drinking fresh cow's milk, which I had done most of my life!!
But the good news is, I don't have any lymphoma or leuckemia like the other drs. thought I might. So thankful for that, but feeling pretty rotten. Keeping a fever sometimes all day and night still, swelling and painful ankles, knees, hands, etc. Definitely have excessive sweating, headaches, and severe fatigue. Am off work now due to dr. wanting me to just rest-not really able to work anyway.
Just hoping for anyone who might have a good ending-which I am sure is coming-but ready for it now! LOl!
Hi Catherinet! Yes, it came to me through drinking fresh cow's milk. Something I had done most of my life! I am not around cows, but got it in the milk I got weekly.
It can also be transmitted from cleaning fresh meat without gloves, etc.
Like people in slaughter houses, veterinarians, etc.

Coaches often make the worst general managers. They are notoriously bad at structuring trades. Coaches fall in love with players they think give them the best chance of winning right now.

More gun control doesn't equal more crime. Try again: theacru.org/acru/harvard_study_gun_control_is_counterproductive/
#889 - durkadurka (06/13/2014) [-]
Because surely that difference is caused by firearms. When people don't have firearms, they just become less violent.
#895 - comradewinter (06/13/2014) [-]
It's easier to kill someone by pulling a trigger rather than beating someone repatedly with your bloodied fists. The US has a higher murder rate than any other country of the same standards, and by a large margin. And don't mention socio-economical situation, even countries with worse economy have better statistics.
#900 - durkadurka (06/13/2014) [-]
Murder rate is different than crime rate. I'd also argue that American culture is more violent.
#879 - comradewinter (06/13/2014) [-]
A violent crime in the UK also involves carrying sharp objects, so it's no big surprise.
#906 - swagbot (06/13/2014) [-]
Ahh, nevermind my comment.
If we had pure statistics, this conversation would be easily settled one way or another.
Our bureaucrats who direct governmental statistics agencies always have an axe to grind, so we're never gonna get straight answer anyways.
Because of that, I just think about which paradigm makes the most sense to me:
> Criminals Don't follow Law.
> Normal Citizens Do Follow laws.
> A Law is enacted to make gun possession a crime
> Normal citizens will disarm, following said Law. They will now have no guns.
> Criminals will not disarm, disobeying said law. They will still have guns.
> Now we have a situation where criminals have guns, and Normal Citizens do not.
None of you anti-gun people have EVER refuted this SIMPLE argument.
You, comradewinter, are welcome to try...
... but if you cannot, please just entertain the mere *possibility* that your anti-gun paradigm is poorly-reasoned.
#935 - comradewinter (06/13/2014) [-]
2/3 murders in the US are second-degree, hence on impulse. Most of these by citizens. What you don't see, which is painful to watch, is that you classify people as "law-abiding citizens" and "criminals". What makes you a criminal? Breaking the law? Making a living off crime? By definition, a criminal is someone who has commited a crime. Doesn't matter if you steal an apple or blow up a subway station, both would be criminals.
Assuming you mean people who make their living through criminal actions, they still don't make up for much. They tend to be involved in other crimes such as drug trade, prostitution and other gang activity. The bulk of the murders come straight from your normal citizens. They get pissed off at something, remember they have a gun somewhere, and go nuts. First degree murders, which are preplanned murders, are pretty rare because most people cool down after a while. That's also why there's a 15 day waiting period for a handgun, so you won't just drop by the store if you feel angry.
So there you have it. Murderers are people too, with problems that may cause them to murder out of desperation. Criminals by trade won't give up their guns, but how many of those do you find in respectable streets? Don't assume just because someone follows the law they are unwilling to kill if under hard weather.
#949 - swagbot (06/13/2014) [-]
You've thought about this, but I feel not deeply enough:
... and you're falling for the Media's propaganda effort to paint a picture that the world is cracking in half, and that Normal People are gunning eachother down in the streets. There are a lot more good people in this world than we give our Race credit for... they're just fragmented and confused.

And anyways, your whole argument comes back on itself at some point:
Okay fine - say all of these 'not-professional-criminals-but-still-unstable-people' give up their guns... and all the TRULY good people give up THEIR guns as well.... (And the Criminals don't)...
Say a Criminal or a Crazy-Normal person goes to assault one of the 'Truly Good' citizens...

So picture me this: How does the US have better socio-economics than other countries, yet they have far more crime? Only difference are the gun laws. Some other minor factors as well, but it all boils down to availability of weapons.
>The majority. Killing someone on the spot requires some sort of way of doing it. You could always stab them, but there's at least a better chance to escape. Like I said, it's easier to pull out a gun and pull a trigger.
>Most people have some sort of criminal record, but most don't commit crimes that make you serve time. Unpaid bills can be a factor. And most murders that are non-gang activity are done by ordinary people, as you call them. If you judge someone by their ability to accept a disarmament, most of the US can be seen as ne'er-do-wells.
>Crimes may be prevented, but also solved. If someone tries to rob a store you can pull out a gun to stop him, but when the perpetrator is eventually caught, you are equally back to square one. Crime happens in Europe too, but the cases are solved and money + reparation is returned.
And if your country is as laughable as saying people don't have compassion, the country itself is worse than Uganda. Of course it makes things easier, but what are the odds that someone would walk up to you with a gun in the middle of the street and rob you? If your country is that dense and cruel, you really are the laughing stock of the world. Europe does well without guns. Asia does well without guns. Oceania does well without guns. Africa and South America are run by criminals, and giving carry permits there would just lead to more militias seeking power. And lots of countries in these continents still have fewer murders.

"...what are the odds that someone would walk up to you with a gun in the middle of the street and rob you?"
- In places like New York and Chicago, with restrictive gun laws, these crimes are reasonably common. Not nearly as much in gun-carrying localities.
"Europe does well without guns."
Yes... the last century can certainly attest to this fact (heavy sarcasm).
"... and South America are run by criminals."
Funny you mention South America - have you heard that Mexican Villages are violating Anti-Gun laws, and arming themselves and successfully DRIVING DRUG CARTELS OUT OF TOWN!?! Look it up.
#957 - comradewinter (06/13/2014) [-]
Socio-economics are always taken into account by pro-guns. If you don't think that is the case, you might as well worry about why every civilized continent has a better crime rate than yours.
You are really dense if you don't see my bullet points being replies to yours. But I guess some people don't pay attention to their own writing.
Getting robbed in the middle of the streets means you have a problem bigger than war-ridden zones in Africa. Which I doubt.
Guns are pretty useless when your city gets bombed to pieces and untrained peasants march into battle and die against trained soldiers. Civilians in war times are best at supplying soldiers. But the US will never know that, because since 1776 they've won 3 wars: 2 in which they contributed to some extent, but not decisively, and the civil war. But that doesn't count, because you lost it too. The US has never been invaded before, yet you continue with your wishful thinking that every proud American patriot will fight together against the enemy, yet natural disasters like hurricanes show they are more likely to loot every shop with a smashed window. Classic.
Everybody knows there are villages in Mexico taking a stand. Usually involves taking down some crime rings, but none of the fully fledged cartels. The Zetas, Sineloas, Knights Templars and Gulfs are all major operations that have villages dedicated to themselves. They are also untouchable. In addition, the Templars are confirmed to have people on the inside of the militias, smuggling retrieved illegal goods and warning about possible attacks, as well as persuading them to attack rival cartels. So maybe they run some small timers out, but they also supply the cartels with firepower and other services, without even knowing it.

#139 - comradewinter (06/12/2014) [-]
European crime rate is still better. And should that change, we can equally remove some Balkan countries. Keep in mind that the US is a country, while Europe is a continent.
The state with the lowest murder rate is New Hampshire by 1.1. In comparison, the UK has 1.0, the Netherlands has 0.9, Germany 0.8, and Spain 0.8. In fact, most high standard European countries can best this. And the US nationwide murder rate is 4.8. The only European countries with a worse murder rate are Estonia (5.0), Albania (5.0), and Belarus (5.1). Belarus being the highest in Europe, it's easily dwarfed by Lousiana, having 10.8, more than the double.
#190 - playerdous (06/12/2014) [-]
Russia is 9.2, that's the worst I could find for Europe.
In general Europe has a 3.0 and North America is 4.2. I figure this works as a better comparison than just U.S. to all of Europe.

Saw it now. Makes more sense, I couldn't quite figure out how a corrupt country like that could beat Estonia.
Still, people refer to Russia as a criminal shithole. And then there's a state in the US with more murders. Surprising to see is also that Michigan, which has Detroit, is 4th in the US.

very true...but it would be effective in other instances where people are not willing to get caught because they know they can't get away with it.
Also you are proving the point that registration isn't enough and there needs to be more gun control in addition to a reform of mental health programs for early identification and treatment of potential shooters. Thanks for that.
#121 - daddycool (05/31/2014) [-]
I'm certainly okay with discrediting the notion of registration as anything important or valuable. I think it's a horrible idea with no benefits.
But I have done nothing to prove that we need more gun control or that we need any changes to mental health programs. I haven't said anything about them, so it is your bias that is saying we need them.
#124 - anonymous (05/31/2014) [-]
By stating that registration would do nothing to stop the mass shootings and continuing to press the issue of how registration would be useful you force the implication of the need for some solution to the issue. I have thus presented the solution as using registration to dissuade people from committing common crimes with guns as they could be more easily identified through the registration system and applying additional restrictions on the sale of firearms whilst concurrently restructuring the mental health institutions to identify and potentially treat those who are possible future mass shooters.
#125 - daddycool (05/31/2014) [-]
Or we could just stop limiting where people can take their guns.
Fun fact, most mass killings happen in "gun free zones." So, if we got rid of the gun free zones, maybe we'd have fewer mass killings or, at the very least, fewer deaths from mass killings.
Now, we don't agree on gun control, but we do agree that the mental health system in America is borked. I suggest we set aside the gun issue and work together to sort out the mental health system. Fair compromise?
#128 - dwarfman (05/31/2014) [-]
You fucking dense twat, a gun free zone is not meant as a deterrent. Should something happen in such a zone (Like a school) and they capture the bastard they may levy additional punishment upon them. NO ONE thinks it'll stop someone, just another legal means to punish a criminal.
#132 - daddycool (05/31/2014) [-]
Wow. That was unnecessarily harsh.
So, you create a special place where people aren't able to defend themselves against criminals so that you can charge criminals for more crimes. Then you say that I'm the stupid one for wanting people to be able to defend themselves.
You're aware there's no worse crime than murder, correct? And adding on a victimless crime like carrying a gun isn't going to do anything but target people that follow the law, yes?
Why not just hand ex-convicts a shotgun on their way out of prison and point them to the closest unarmed person? It'll be faster that way.
#140 - dwarfman (05/31/2014) [-]
A man commits a crime, not even necessarily related to anything involving guns. The Police catch the bastard, he's searched, he has a concealed weapon, and happens to be in a no firearm zone. On top of his original charges, he will be charged for having a weapon in that zone. It's a legal means for harsher punishment.
Nongovernmental: In states that have carry laws, a business may put up a sign stating they do not allow firearms on their premise. If having the firearm would not present a danger to the public or the owners of the establishment if it was discharged, they cannot bring criminal charges on that individual. However if they ask them to leave and they do not comply, they could call the police and say: We do not allow firearms in this place of business, he brought one, won't leave when we told him, we even pointed out the sign. In that instance they could be made to vacate.
Stop being an idiot.
#143 - daddycool (05/31/2014) [-]
You're such an angry, vile person. Seriously, you should get help if someone asking you a question makes you so hateful. Constantly badgering a person because of a question? You shouldn't own guns, you're going to end up hurting someone. Seek help.
Your point, however, is absolutely without merit. Why in the world should we care if someone carries a gun on school grounds? Does the mere fact that it's a gun mean that someone is going to get hurt by it? Are you, for example, capable of carrying a gun onto school property without murdering someone? I know that's a hard example because you're so belligerent and mentally unstable, but I have faith that even you, with your clear anger issues, can manage to not murder someone.
Let's say a criminal is doing criminal things on school grounds. Why do we need further statutes with which to punish them? What possible good would that do? You're punishing people for something that isn't hurting anyone.
Let's go further, though. Let's say you find a criminal doing criminal things and he wants to hurt someone on school grounds. Great, arrest them for that! There's no need to make more laws saying you can't do stuff. Why not just say that the US is a crime free zone and anyone caught committing crimes can therefore be punished even more severely because this is a crime free zone!
Why not? Because it's stupid, that's why not. You're painting a bulls-eye on every gun free zone, telling anyone that wants to hurt people that these people can't fight back.
I'm going to reiterate my last point because it's so important. Get help. You're lashing out in anger over precisely nothing. You're belligerent and you need help.
#159 - daddycool (05/31/2014) [-]

The only real problem I run into is that I have a low tolerance for stupid. In cases like these, it's easy to dismantle his argument and make him look like a deranged lunatic while I do so(which he is, so I'm telling the truth the whole time).
#126 - dwarfman (05/31/2014) [-]
Why do I want registration? If you have a mentally unstable dude living with you (Like the perpetrator behind Sandy Hook) you don't get to own weapons. Oh but my poor boy is just misunderstood he'd never hurt any one. The irresponsibility of the parents end up getting people killed, so yes it'd prevent it.
I'll use an even more local example, you can go over the Ben Franklin bridge into Philly and purchase a gun rather easily, drive back to Camden and shoot a nigger, get away scot free. The gun shops in Philly pissed the bed when the city wanted to stop this, went to the state legislature, cried their eyes out and nothing got done about it.
I own three handguns, and a rifle (M3 Carbine). Inherited two, bought the original because some bastard broke into my house. All registered, and I didn't say fucking boo about it. Take your Don't Tread on me flag, stuff it up your ass stick included and pull it out your mouth and taste the shit you're spewing.

This is the most substantive post you're posted yet... finally something we can have an actually discussion about:
This is very simple:
> Bad People will always Exist.
> The Only way to deal with Bad People is through Force.
> If you take away all the guns from citizens...
1) If a Bad Person does something, the police will always be 30 minutes.. the crime will already be done.
2) If that Bad Person IS the government, god forbid... well, they have all the guns, and the Normal Citizens are shit-out-of-luck, huh?
Focusing on Guns is not identifying the Root of the Problem - the Root of the Problem is BAD PEOPLE.
If we had MORE GUNS, and GOOD people USED them more (past and present), we wouldn't be in this situation (bunch of bad people floating around fucking shit up for the rest of us) in the first place.
Get it?

Except that would be completely and nonnegotiaby immoral. The bill of rights is still in place, and the right to bear arms is, I believe, to be completely necessary.

Call me paranoid, but I don't believe I want the government disarming the people at a time when the government is treading over much of the constitution and spying on them. You place too much trust in them if you believe they are the only people who should have access to firearms.

#33 - crazan (05/31/2014) [-]
Yes, but by making it possible to reduce the amount of guns available, people will not be able to use guns as much. Take Australia for example, gun violence is pretty rare there, and that is because of the strict gun laws they have in place. I agree that there are always bad people around in this world, but if you can take away the weapon which many bad people can get, the violence will decrease. The only purpose of having a gun is to kill people
#83 - swagbot (05/31/2014) [-]
In Australia....
VIOLENT CRIME RATES INCREASED DRAMATICALLY AFTER THE 90s gun laws went into effect.
... same thing in Britain... YES, true, Britain has basically NO gun crimes... but they have FOUR TIMES the Violent Crimes rate than the U.S.! (easy statistics to find, look it up)
Your ideas are bad. They are simple-minded and poor.

#36 - anonymous (05/31/2014) [-]
"There will always be bad people": if guns are gotten rid of, then they have to use weapons that are less harmful (individually stabbing vs spraying a crowd)...
But: like prohibition, difficult to make something with an industry set up around it disappear and, in this case, it is killing instruments, so inherently dangerous.
#48 - citruslord (05/31/2014) [-]
I fully support just general mental health reforms in the US. It has been mostly ignored, and with the prison culture and media focus on death, it exacerbates the issue. As far as I know, no other nations media puts such a heavy focus on death, death, and more death. Media's coverage of tragedies should be limited, people like Rodger should be watched when they are noticed to have mental issues, like he was, and taken care of accordingly.
As it is, the US is much more content to let mentally unstable people do crime, then imprison them, instead of preventing it.

Legends of the Hawks Puck Talk event Feb. 25
By Doug Halberstadt
Sports Columnist
Several area Chicago Blackhawks fans were looking forward to meeting and talking some old-time hockey with Bobby Hull, Tony Esposito, Eric Daze and Peter Marsh this Friday, Nov. 12. They will have to wait a little while longer.
The Legends of the Hawks Puck Talk that was originally scheduled to take place this Friday, Nov. 12, has been postponed until Friday, Feb. 25, 2011. Any tickets purchased for Nov. 12 can be exchanged or refunded from point of purchase.
Local sports promoter Mark Bjelland has stated that only 300 tickets will be available for this event. Tickets are on sale now at The Scoreboard Lounge—inside the Holiday Inn, online at tix.com or you can charge by phone at 800-595-4849.
Ticket prices include two options. An $85 ticket includes a buffet dinner and one autograph from each hockey legend. The second option is a $120 VIP meet-and-greet ticket. The VIP package includes a 45-minute meet-and-greet session from 5:15 to 6 p.m., one autograph from each player, an opportunity to take a one-on-one photo and the buffet dinner.
Hull was inducted as a player into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1983. He began his NHL career with the Blackhawks in 1957 and stayed with the team through the 1971-72 season. He then played nine more seasons with the Winnipeg Jets (1972-1980). He finished his professional hockey career by playing nine games with the Hartford Whalers at the end of the 1980 season. He had 610 career goals and 560 career assists.
Esposito was inducted as a player into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1988. His first year in the NHL was with the Montreal Canadians in 1968. He played in 13 games for the Canadians. The remainder of his career (873 games) was spent in net for the Blackhawks. He retired following the 1983-84 season. He had a career total of 423 wins and 306 losses.
Daze was drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in the fourth round (90th overall) of the 1993 NHL entry draft. He played his entire 11-season career with Chicago. He had 226 career goals and 172 career assists.
Marsh played four seasons with the Blackhawks (1980-84). He finished his NHL career with 48 goals and 71 assists. He also scored 91 goals and 76 assists in three seasons in the World Hockey Association.
In addition to the player meet-and-greet, there will also be a silent auction table benefiting the Rockford Hockey Club.
Any questions pertaining to this event, call (815) 742-3226.
From the Nov. 10-16, 2010

Safe Adjustment Regions for Legged Locomotion Paths
Scheduled for presentation during the Regular "Locomotion" ( MP-I ), Monday, December 6, 2010,
14:30−14:50, Ballroom 4
2010 IEEE-RAS International Conference on Humanoid Robots, December 6-8, 2010, Sheraton Nashville Downtown, Nashville, TN, USA
This information is tentative and subject to change. Compiled on March 31, 2015
Balance and stability are critical issues for a humanoid robot, and various different strategies have been employed to increase their robustness and respond to disturbances while walking, such as adjusting the torso's trajectory, or changing the foot's touchdown location. In the presence of obstacles or rough terrain, however, changing the touchdown location can be dangerous, causing collisions or unstable support configurations. This paper describes the a method for integrating this sort of touchdown location adjustment with foothold evaluation from footstep planning approaches. We compute safe adjustment regions, which inform the walking controller of a legged robot how much a particular step through rough terrain can be adjusted yet remain safe. Results are demonstrated on a prototype humanoid robot.

Hot answers tagged r
Ah, this is becoming a common question, just in R now. Please look at this [question] (GARCH model and prediction), it has R code to do the prediction. In brief, you keep predicting one day ahead. $\sigma_{t+k}^2 =w+\alpha u_{t+k-1}^2+\beta \sigma_{t+k-1}^2$. You already know $ w,\space \alpha \space and \space \beta $ the starting values are the last ...
The NS model should be fit directly to bond prices. If you have the prices of all the Treasuries, you should use those directly. See this paper for how the Fed does it http://www.federalreserve.gov/pubs/feds/2006/200628/200628pap.pdf The "Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates" are already fitted par yields (they're fitted using a cubic spline model to on-the-run ...
You can use Matlab too, that, in my humble opinion, is simpler than R from a syntax point of view. The model you need for is run by the Matlab function arima that can be used with seasonality option to do what you have to do. Here you can find an example and a brief explanation of the model. Type ctrl + F and search for: "Specify a seasonal ARIMA model" ...
To determine the optimal number of states in a HMM is indeed an intricate one. Please have a look at the following paper: The Number of Regimes Across Asset Returns: Identification and Economic Value by M. Gatumel and F. Ielpo (2011) From the abstract: A shared belief in the financial industry is that markets are driven by two types of regimes. Bull ...
A free to use Excel Add-on providing QuantLib-backed derivatives pricing analytics directly in Excel is available at http://www.deriscope.com Disclosure: answerer is author of the package.
There is no guarantee that the optimization method always converges! In an introduction the author of the package recommends using the "hybrid" solver, which starts out with the "solnp" and goes through the other solvers, if it doesn't converge. According to him, this should at least guarantee convergence in 90 % of the cases. ...
If you wander about the theoretical result of fitting parameters, the book GARCH Models, Structure, Statistical Inference and Financial Applications of FRANCQ and ZAKOIAN provides a step-by-step explanation. I think that it is not a big problem to implement these steps to R.
I would suggest you to add spreads to the implied hazard rates, spreads that you regress on the macroeconomic factors. Then you stress by calculating the spreads corresponding to the stressed factors.
I'm going to separate your question in two. The key thing you're asking is that how does Return.rebalancing treat your different frequencied and number of asset return and weight objects. Data munging: It subsets the first ncol(weight) columns of R (as ncol(edhec) > ncol(weights) ncol R is now 11. Checks if the first date in R is less than the first date ...
Actually, neither of your two results are quite correct. As explained in the Details for the Return.calculate function, most of the PerformanceAnalytics functions use discrete returns, not log returns. To get the correct results, you will have to convert your data from log returns to simple returns. Compare the charts from the following: ...
Why annualized return and cumultive return aren't equal over 1-year period with Performance Analytics package in R?
The documentation of the R package PerformanceAnalytics provides examples for both the Return.annualized() and Return.cumulative() functions. The annualized return scales up sub-annual returns to an annual return. You may observe the difference by typing Return.annualized (without any parameters) in your R console to see the functions implementation. Look ...
Use PortfolioAnalytics See my previous response here: http://quant.stackexchange.com/a/16002/2154 , you will find links to the documentation there. You can use the constraint function to add a factor exposure constraint of 0. use add.constraint(your_portfolio_name,type='factor_exposure',B = your_vector_of_betas,lower=0,upper=0)
For a Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, the maximum likelihood parameters are the ones from least squares regression. If your process is: $$ dX=\kappa (\theta-X)dt+\sigma dW $$ you can do a linear regression in the form $$ \frac{dX}{dt}=a+bX+\epsilon $$ So your parameters will be: $$ \kappa=-b $$ $$ \theta=-\frac{a}{b} $$ $$ \sigma=std(\epsilon dt) $$
Similar to Juan Gil's answer but a bit differently I would say the following based on this: The OU process $$dX_t = \kappa(\theta-X_t)dt + \sigma dW_t$$ can be (Euler-Maryuama discretization) discretized at times $n \Delta t,n=1,\ldots,\infty $ which gives with $t = k \Delta t$ $$ X_{k+1} - X_k = \kappa \theta \Delta t -\kappa X_k \Delta t + \sigma (W_{k+1} ...
Both R and Python can do this very nicely. For Python you would need the pandas package and its dependencies. pandas has a lot of basic statistics, but for more advanced statistics like it looks like you want to do, you can use the statsmodels package, which can work directly with pandas data types. It can also download the csv files directly off the ...
Nothing to be worried about: Method is the type of correlation which is not a graphical parameter. The method argument is being passed to the pairs function... The function is saying this not a graphical parameter It can be fixed in the source code (or just ignore it!)
This is a feature, when you pass a vector it's because the risk free rate has changed over time. E.g. you can assume a constant or changing risk free rate as each period of returns can have an associated risk free rate.
Why not just use PortfolioAnalytics, as if your matrix is non positive definite you will have problems using non optimization approaches. Here is an example taken from my blog: retmat is a matrix of returns library(PortfolioAnalytics) moms_portfolio = portfolio.spec(assets=colnames(retmat)) moms_portfolio = ...
The mean equation specification for ARIMAX(8,0,0)(5,0,1)[7] (as in the R code above): $$ (1 - \phi_1L^1 - \ldots - \phi_8L^8)(1-\Phi_1L^7 - \Phi_2L^{14} - \ldots - \Phi_5L^{35})y_t = \beta x_t + (1 + \Theta_1L^7)\varepsilon_t $$ where $x_t$ is the holiday dummy variable. Equivalent ARIMA fit in Matlab (+ GARCH and forecasting): % specify seasonal ...
I have the same problem as you. Up to my knowledge, there is no package allowing to combine seasonal ARIMA process with GARCH effects.
It is a classical misunderstanding, your model is right, you always have a acf equal to one at lag zero (and not one) since if there is no lag acf = covariance(x , x_lag 0) / variance x = variance x / variance x = 1. So you need to pay attention to the x axis , some software displays ACF starting at lag zero and some others from 1 (which make better ...
Did you try rmgarch package of R ? http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/rmgarch/index.html http://unstarched.net/r-examples/rmgarch/mgarch-comparison-using-the-hong-li-misspecification-test/
There is no such thing as "free" option data. This is free -->http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/aapl/option-chain You could crawl that. But to get the actual ticks or intraday data, you will unfortunately have to pay. I strongly suggest you find a college business program that has option data ticks and reach out to them. Best of luck, JL
I found out that the upper time series is the result of a call > tail(Return.rebalancing(edhec,weights)) portfolio.returns 2009-03-31 0.005082048 2009-04-30 0.022982981 2009-05-31 0.037432398 2009-06-30 0.011107189 2009-07-31 0.025580507 2009-08-31 0.017983519 (by optical comparison. ;-) ) A glance ...
PortfolioAnalytics, has the ability to optimize portfolios based on factors or whatever groups/characteristics you enter. https://r-forge.r-project.org/R/?group_id=579 Please refer to the vignette in the package in the package PortfolioAnalytics (https://r-forge.r-project.org/scm/viewvc.php/pkg/PortfolioAnalytics/vignettes/?root=returnanalytics I use it ...

QuantLib is a free/open-source library for modeling, trading, and risk management in real-life. QuantLib is written in C++ with a clean object ...
The mean could be the long run variance which is sig2 = fit.Constant/(1-fit.GARCH{1}-fit.ARCH{1}); I hope this explains. If not, note I ran this model through Matlab, I get different values. you can paste your m1 and m2 values and some other intermediate results so I can see why Matlab differs. EDIT: The question refers to forecasting the returns. ...
A risk measure $\rho$ applied to time series $X \in \mathbb{R^n}$ yields $Y \in \mathbb{R} $. i.e. $\rho: \mathbb{R^n} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ As for implementation (using R), see here. A look at the formulas for VAR and ES (which is exactly the same as CVAR) should clear up any confusion.
For the first, people regularly compute VaR or CVaR over time and plot the results. For two and three, the documentation for the ETL function says that you can either calculate it using a Gaussian approach or Cornish-Fisher expansion. These are both analytical methods. The Gaussian approach uses only the mean and variance (effectively assuming that the ...

Answer #1Visitor, December 15, 2010, 10:15
I am not positive what it is, but I have had the same problem with the smaller engine light. I noticed that after I put oil in it, the light turned off. Im guessing it might be a low oil light. My big engine light came on one day when I was at a red light and my truck stalled. Probably due to needing oil. So try to add oil and see if this helps.
