His other book is far more..... insightful.

Would not call it advanced, but used to use Poisson intesity for pp times. These were on IO strips.

<t>Hey Jan. I used to be involved in MBS and currenly use Malliavin practically (where it actually helps and is not hunting flies with a mortar). I am not aware of any applications to MBS, and even some of the interesting areas of MBS, prepayment, hedging, I can't think of any practical application ...

I thought that "Do Not Dodge Moral Anguish" by Christopher Caldwell in today's FT was a very well written interpretation of the situation.

alpha is hiding in the land of the snipes. google "statistical minimization of transaction costs in the presence of significant volume"

I would order it now, before it goes away. It isn't on amazon and it is 2-3 days at bn.

<t>M'gale, you sneaky little dude, what are you doing in the same thread as me here? This feels wierd, I need a shower.@James: Look around at the definitions of the two integrals and you will see what I mean regarding the points they are evaluated on. Also, that will explain how one is referred to a...
