Introduction “The key is not to eliminate risk; it is to measure it and manage it wisely” (Steiger, Strong, & Wilson, 2009). In the world of finance, the most difficult objective to achieve for individuals, corporations, and small businesses is the balance between financial risk and reward. This paper will look at both historical tools and avenues modern technology has adopted to create a balance for financial investors in the market today and how these tools are implemented in today’s businesses

The Quadratic loss functions for different quality characteristics are narrated, highlighting the fraction defective fallacy. The aim of the robust design technique is to minimize the variance of the response and orthogonal arrays are an effective simulation aid to evaluate the relative effects of variation in different parameters on the response with the minimum number of experiments. Statistical techniques like ANOM (analysis of means) and ANOVA (analysis of variance) are the tools for analyzing the

delivery to the end customer. My final project study is in the heart of this approach. It has as an objective, the study of solutions that meet the diverse needs. To do this, I had some operational research to minimize the process of delivery of containers to customers. Then, I implemented a simulation of the problem, with Siman-Arena software, allowing the validation of the theoretical results. Finally, an application in the field was conducted. Acknowledgements My work would

Finally, we develop a framework for simulating counterfactual market settings, using the simulations to examine counterfactuals involving different mixes of firms according to pricing strategies.

distributed in a nice way. The binary logic regression has become the most preferred data analysis method that describes the relationship between response variable and an explanatory variable that and it is usually used where a variable follows binomial distribution. Assumptions of binary logistic regression Among the assumptions applied in the application of binary logistic regression is that logistic regression usually does not assume a relationship that is linear between the dependable and undependable
