Описание: Each financial crisis calls for -- by its novelty and the mechanisms it shares with preceding crises -- appropriate means to analyze financial risks. In Extreme Financial Risks and Asset Allocation, the authors present in an accessible and timely manner the concepts, methods, and techniques that are essential for an understanding of these risks in an environment where asset prices are subject to sudden, rough, and unpredictable changes. These phenomena, mathematically known as "jumps," play an important role in practice. Their quantitative treatment is generally tricky and is sparsely tackled in similar books. One of the main appeals of this book lies in its approachable and concise presentation of the ad hoc mathematical tools without sacrificing the necessary rigor and precision.This book contains theories and methods which are usually found in highly technical mathematics books or in scattered, often very recent, research articles. It is a remarkable pedagogical work that makes these difficult results accessible to a large readership. Researchers, Masters and PhD students, and financial engineers alike will find this book highly useful.
This books presents in a very compact way the fundamental aspects of probability theory. It provides the key concepts and tools a student needs to master the Exam P of the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and the Exam 1 of the Casualty Actuarial Society (CAS).
This text benefits from the vision and experience of the author, who is a professor who has taught probability theory in finance, insurance, and risk management for many years. The author is also a Fellow of the Society of Actuaries.
Students interested in economics, finance, statistics, mathematics, or other fields, will also find this book a useful tool to help them further their studies.
This book can also be warmly recommended as a prerequisite reading to the students who consider taking, or are in the process of taking, the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) exams. Indeed, the statistics and portfolio management material studied in the CFA syllabus is fundamentally based on the probability results shown in this book.
This text does not just present the material; it furthers an understanding of the foundations of probability theory. This book does not include exercises because it is designed to be used with the (long) series of exercises made freely available by the Society of Actuaries.
The tables in the appendix link the exercises of the Society of Actuaries with the equations in the book. These tables can be a very convenient tool for providing hints for the exercises that the student cannot solve - instead of going directly to the solutions.
The order in which the contents of this book are presented mostly respects the order of the Society of Actuaries and Casualty Actuarial Society syllabi. Very few adjustments were made to this order and they were done for pedagogical improvement reasons only.
This text is the first one in a series dedicated to actuarial associateship exams. In each of these books, conceptual links between the contents of the various exams are provided. This book was also written in such a way that you can use it throughout your career.
This book is the book the author would have liked to have when he took the Exam P of the Society of Actuaries. It contains all the formulas that are useful to solve the official exercises of the SOA. This book is compact, theoretically solid, and not verbose.

Автор: Frederique Jeanne Courtois Название: Sexual Dysfunctions: Risk Factors, Psychological Impact & Treatment Options ISBN: 162808765X ISBN-13(EAN): 9781628087659 Издательство: Nova Science Рейтинг: Цена: 151000.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Sexual dysfunctions in men and women cover a wide range of disorders that can affect any phase of the human sexual response. They can originate from a variety of aetiologies including (but not restricted to) neurological conditions, vascular diseases, psychological or psychiatric disorders, diabetes, lower urinary tract syndrome and prostatic conditions, all of which are covered in this book. Identifying the sexual dysfunction and its symptomatology is the first step to understanding the patients complaint, but the aetiology of the sexual disorder can also be a part of the treatment options and influence their relative effectiveness. This book is designed for a better understanding of the basics of human sexual functioning and the impact of various pathologies on the development and treatment of these dysfunctions. Following an initial definition of sexual dysfunctions in men (erectile failure, persistent erection, delayed, retrograde, premature, anhedonic or painful ejaculation) and in women (hypoactive sexual desire, sexual arousal deficit, persistent genital arousal, dyspareunia, vaginism, anorgasmia), and following a description of the normal sexual functioning in men and later in women, the book addresses the issue of contributing factors (predisposing, precipitating, maintaining factors), or etiologies, that can participate in the emergence or maintenance of sexual dysfunctions. These include neurological conditions, which also highlight the role of the brain and neural pathways in modulating sexual responses, and their impact on genital reflexes and quality of life (eg: spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis). They include conditions such as prostatic diseases and their treatment with radical prostatectomy, or apparently benign activities such as bicycle riding (and its resulting nerve entrapment) and their impact on mens genital innervation and resulting in sexual dysfunctions. They also include general disease such as diabetes, which affects both men and women, and depression, and their resulting impact on sexual function and quality of life. Female pathologies such as womens urogynaecological disorders and aging on womens normal function are also addressed, along with a discussion of the assessments limitations and unit care concerns (eg: palliative care), which can contribute to the emergence or maintenance of sexual dysfunctions, and which are covered throughout the chapters of this book.
