    Forecasting smoothed non-stationary time series using genetic algorithms

    , Article International Journal of Modern Physics C ; Volume 18, Issue 6 , 2007 , Pages 1071-1086 ; 01291831 (ISSN) Norouzzadeh, P ; Rahmani, B ; Norouzzadeh, M. S ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    We introduce kernel smoothing method to extract the global trend of a time series and remove short time scales variations and fluctuations from it. A multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) shows that the multifractality nature of TEPIX returns time series is due to both fatness of the probability density function of returns and long range correlations between them. MF-DFA results help us to understand how genetic algorithm and kernel smoothing methods act. Then we utilize a recently developed genetic algorithm for carrying out successful forecasts of the trend in financial time series and deriving a functional form of Tehran price index (TEPIX) that best approximates the time... 

    A multifractal detrended fluctuation description of Iranian rial-US dollar exchange rate

    , Article Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications ; Volume 367 , 2006 , Pages 328-336 ; 03784371 (ISSN) Norouzzadeh, P ; Rahmani, B ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The miltifractal properties and scaling behaviour of the exchange rate variations of the Iranian rial against the US dollar from a daily perspective is numerically investigated. For this purpose the multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (MF-DFA) is used. Through multifractal analysis, the scaling exponents, generalized Hurst exponents, generalized fractal dimensions and singularity spectrum are derived. Moreover, contribution of two major sources of multifractality, that is, fat-tailed probability distributions and nonlinear temporal correlations are studied. © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

    Surface Integral Equations Technique for Ferrite Resonator Antennas

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Norouzzadeh, Elham (Author) ; Rejaei, Behzad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    So far, investigations have shown that open dielectricresonator antennas(DRAs) offer several advantages at microwaveand millimeter wave frequencies and make them appropriate in low directional-gain applications . These advantages include small size, large impedance bandwidth, high radiation efficiency, ease of manufacturing and simple feed-coupling mechanisms (such as probe coupling, aperture coupling or proximity coupling to micro-strip lines). Most microwave ferrites have dielectric constants in the desirable range and they can be used in place of dielectric materials. Such ferrite resonator antennas (FRAs) offer a potential advantage inthat their permeability tensor can be controlled by...

    “Entrepreneurship ecosystem” is defined as the elements – individuals, organizations or institutions – apart from the individual entrepreneur that are conducive to, or inhibitive of, the choice of a person to become an entrepreneur, or the probabilities of his or her success following launch. Entrepreneurial businesses operate locally or regionally and are therefore subject to local or regional contextual influence. Moreover particularly in larger countries there can exist significant variation in industry structure and economic base across regions, emphasizing the importance of regional focus. Adopting appropriate policies at the regional level need to have a deep and accurate... 

    A Method for Incremental Learning of Stream Data

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Kashani, Elham Sadat (Author) ; Bagheri Shouraki, Saeed (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Today, the pace of information generation, fast processing and instant decision-making is increasing. In this regard, one of the main needs in the field of data management and processing is stream data processing. Today's world needs new methods to deal with and analyze these data. Two of the most challenging aspects of data streams are (i) concept drift, i.e. evolution of data stream over time, which requires the ability to make timely decisions against the high speed of receiving new data; (ii) limited memory storage and the impracticality of using memory due to the large amount of data. Clustering is one of the common methods for processing data streams, without having basic knowledge... 

    Winner Strategies in a Simulated Stock Market

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology Taherizadeh, Ali (Author) ; Zamani, Shiva (Supervisor) ; Yavari, Elham (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this study, we explore the dynamics of the stock market using an agent-based simulation platform. Our approach involves creating a multi-strategy market where each agent considers both fundamental and technical factors when determining their strategy. The agents vary in their approach to these factors and the time interval they use for technical analysis. Our findings indicate that investing heavily in reducing the value–price gap was a successful strategy, even in markets where there were no trading forces to reduce this gap. Furthermore, our results remain consistent across various modifications to the simulation’s structure

    Abstract
    Although existing literature on organizational culture and its change process contains meaningful and rich theories but our studies show that there is no perfect and detailed framework on linking organizational culture change and corporate entrepreneurship culture. In addition to that, Gamification –defined as taking the game design elements into non-game contexts– is a fruitful and academically rich research area. Fortunately an idea proposed recently to explain a method for enhancements in organizational culture in general, and in corporate entrepreneurship culture in particularby Yavari and Jafarian based on using game mechanisms. In their paper "A Gamification-Based Method for Corporate...

    Abstract
    In the method treatment of thermobrachytherapy, the method of this project, simultaneously use of two processes of thermotherapy and brachytherapy is considered, which can be a more effective treatment for the destruction of tumor tissue. In thermotherapy, the temperature of the tissue is artificially raised to a temperature that leads to cell dysfunction resulting in cell death. In brachytherapy, the destruction of defective tissue is done by placing a source in the tissue. In the present project, we supposed to consider both mechanisms simultaneously for treatment at the same time. In this project, radioactive material 125I is used as a source of radiation emission for brachytherapy. In... 

    Uncertainty in the fluctuations of the price of stocks

    , Article International Journal of Modern Physics C ; Volume 18, Issue 11 , 2007 , Pages 1689-1697 ; 01291831 (ISSN) Jafari, G. R ; Movahed, M. S ; Norouzzadeh, P ; Bahraminasab, A ; Sahimi, M ; Ghasemi, F ; Rahimi Tabar, M. R ; Sharif University of Technology
    2007
    Abstract
    We report on a study of the Tehran Price Index (TEPIX) from 2001 to 2006 as an emerging market that has been affected by several political crises during the recent years, and analyze the non-Gaussian probability density function (PDF) of the log returns of the stock prices. We show that while the average of the index did not fall very much over the time period of the study, its day-to-day fluctuations strongly increased due to the crises. Using an approach based on multiplicative processes with a detrending procedure, we study the scale-dependence of the non-Gaussian PDFs, and show that the temporal dependence of their tails indicates a gradual and systematic increase in the probabilityof...
