Several Typical Evaluation Methods of Traffic System
To reveal the internal relationship between short-and long-term changes in the number of traffic accidents, traffic safety education expenditures, related technology expenditures, passenger turnover, and the number of private vehicles for a period from 1990 to 2018, a vector autoregressive model (VAR) was elaborated based on the respective time-series data. After the augmented Dicky-Fuller and Johansen cointegration tests, a vector error correction model (VECM) was also adopted to analyze their impulse responses and variances. This study can help optimize the road traffic management strategy to reduce the number of traffic accidents and develop a safer and more efficient transportation system. The results show that: 1) In the long run, the increase in passenger turnover is the internal cause of the increase in traffic accidents; 2) In the short-term scale, the education and R & D technology expenditures have a negative impact on the occurrence of traffic accidents.
Intelligent Asset Management
This book presents a systematic application of recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to the problem of asset management. While natural language processing and text mining techniques, such as semantic representation, sentiment analysis, entity extraction, commonsense reasoning, and fact checking have been evolving for decades, finance theories have not yet fully considered and adapted to these ideas. In this unique, readable volume, the authors discuss integrating textual knowledge and market sentiment step-by-step, offering readers new insights into the most popular portfolio optimization theories: the Markowitz model and the Black-Litterman model. The authors also provide valuable visions of how AI technology-based infrastructures could cut the cost of and automate wealth management procedures. This inspiring book is a must-read for researchers and bankers interested in cutting-edge AI applications in finance.
