Lester Ingber’s Summary
LinkedIn Connections 3700+
LinkedIn Groups 300+
http://www.ingber.com ->
ASA: Adaptive Simulated Annealing, Optimization, Importance Sampling, Nonlinear Systems, Stochastic Systems.
COMBAT: Statistical Mechanics of Combat and Simulations.
KARATE: Art and Science of Karate.
MARKETS: Statistical Mechanics of Financial Markets, Options, Risk, Portfolios, Trading.
NEOCORTEX: Statistical Mechanics of Neocortical Interactions, Applications to Intelligent Systems.
NUCLEAR: Nucleons, Nuclear Matter, Riemannian Interactions.
PATH-INTEGRAL: Path Integrals in Nonlinear Stochastic Systems.
A current project is Ideas by Statistical Mechanics (ISM) described in http://www.ingber.com/smni06_ism.pdf. ISM is a generic program to model evolution and propagation of ideas/patterns throughout populations subjected to endogenous and exogenous interactions. This product can be used for decision support for projects ranging from diplomatic, information, military, and economic (DIME) factors of propagation/evolution of ideas, to commercial sales, trading indicators across sectors of financial markets, advertising and political campaigns, etc. (A short version appears in Encyclopedia of Artificial Intelligence (2008), and details appear in J Integrated Systems Design and Process Science (2007), Special Issue: Biologically Inspired Computing.)
These tools also are being applied to price complex projects as financial options with alternative schedules and strategies, as described in Real Options for Project Schedules (ROPS), http://www.ingber.com/markets07_rops.pdf.
Lester Ingber’s Specialties:
My projects have been in theoretical nuclear physics, statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions (short-term memory and EEG correlates), statistical mechanics of combat (baselining simulations to training), and statistical mechanics of financial markets (options, bond futures, risk management, and trading systems).
I have developed algorithms for nonlinear stochastic systems, including ASA/VFSR & PATHINT/PATHTREE, a full suite of options codes, and copula risk management.
