Exercises
PART 1 - FINANCIAL APPLICATIONS
Chapter 2 Regression:
Use regression techniques to find the pattern for depreciation of the value of cars over a period of years.
Program written will create graphical displays to illustrate the topic.
Exercises
Chapter 3 Product Moment Correlation Coefficient (PMCC):
Use this technique to illustrate the accuracy (or otherwise) of regression techniques.
Exercises
Chapter 4 : Asset Pricing
Use the past stock values of an Asset to predict what its future values may be using Monte Carlo methods.
Graphics displays to illustrate the topic.
Exercises
PART 2 - ENGINEERING/INDUSTRIAL/COMMERCIAL APPLICATIONS
Chapter 5: Supermarket Stock Reordering Simulation
Create a file of stock for a supermarket. Simulate the buying of stock by shoppers. Check the remaining stock. If it is too low print a message to reorder the stock.
Exercises
Chapter 6: Flight Information Boards at Airports
Create a file of arrivals for an airport. Send data to the airport's display boards to show the current situation for the incoming flights. Update a flight and refresh the information to the display boards.
Exercises
Chapter 6 : Power Plant Control
Program receives messages about pressures, temperatures, flow rates etc for a power plant. The program checks for values outside safety ranges and acts upon any problem values by sending messages to both the gauges and the managers responsible for them.
Exercises
