matlab question

looks like this is the solution( combination of fft and fft2 )function y=perform_convolution( image, filter ) [M,N] = size( image ); y = ifft( abs( fft(image(:,)) .* abs( fft2( filter',M, N ) ) );

energy trading shops

<r>I didn't think John Arnold was the executioner, I just read that he was on the opposite of all of Amaranth's (Hunter's) trades at the time. <URL url="http://www.marketwatch.com/News/Story/4wVjZrDjWsN7xl5ZlvmW16H?siteid=mktw&dist=TNMostMailedLast"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.marketwatch.com/Ne...

energy trading shops

<r>I never understood why so much energy trading was done in Houston. the city really sucks, and I can't see what advantage you would from trading from there. I understand a lot of the traders work for the oil companies, and I believe Southwest is based out of Houston, and they definitely seemed to ...

question - integrating brownian motion

<t>ok, i get what you are saying.so the expectation is zero becuase W(t) is continuous, and when you turn the integral into a summation, and let the the number of partitions (n) go to infinity,the max [W(t_j+1) - W(t_j)] for 0 < k < n-1 goes to zero, making the entire summation go to zero also ?? </t>

Why is the following integral equal to zerointegral(0,T) { W^3(t) dW(t) }where W(t) is Brownian motion and W^3(t) is Brownian motion cubed.Thanks

question regarding explanation of geometric brownian motion

<t>I am having trouble understanding a concept from Shreve Volume II (page 148 on the bottom)The text says the following:"If alpha and theta are const, we have the usual geometric Brownian motion model, and the distribution of S(t) is log-normal. In the case where alpha and theta are constant,S(t) =...

John Arnold made a boat-load last year also. He was on the other side of Brian Hunter's Amaranth natural gas trades. We all know how that turned out.

I believe the correct english is "if you have guts".Maybe you should focus on getting an english tutor in your free time, rather than giving out FE advice.
