Actionable Insights Through Association Mining of Exchange Rates: A Case Studyertekg
Download Link > https://ertekprojects.com/gurdal-ertek-publications/blog/actionable-insights-through-association-mining-of-exchange-rates-a-case-study/
Association mining is the methodology within data mining that researches associations among the elements of a given set, based on how they appear together in multiple subsets of that set. Extensive literature exists on the development of efficient algorithms for association mining computations, and the fundamental motivation for this literature is that association mining reveals actionable insights and enables better policies. This motivation is proven valid for domains such as retailing, healthcare and software engineering, where elements of the analyzed set are physical or virtual items that appear in transactions. However, the literature does not prove this motivation for databases where items are “derived items”, rather than actual items. This study investigates the association patterns in changes of exchange rates of US Dollar, Euro and Gold in the Turkish economy, by representing the percentage changes as “derived items” that appear in “derived market baskets”, the day on which the observations are made. The study is one of the few in literature that applies such a mapping and applies association mining in exchange rate analysis, and the first one that considers the Turkish case. Actionable insights, along with their policy implications, demonstrate the usability of the developed analysis approach.

Impact of Firm Size on Capital Budgeting Techniques: An Empirical Study of Te...Muhammad Arslan
This study examines the type of capital budgeting methods used by textile firms in Pakistan and impact of firm
size on these methods. This study also investigates the relationship between the total assets of the firm and
annual turnover of the firm according to primary capital budgeting technique used. Questionnaire method is used
as a source of gathering primary data. SPSS is used as tool for analysis of data. Cross tabulation is applied on
each variable. Chi square test is also applied to investigate the relationship between total assets of firm and total
turnover of the firm according to primary capital budgeting technique used. Findings of this study reveal that net
present value method and internal rate of return are two mostly used methods. Findings also show that there is no
relationship between the total assets of the firms and turnover of the firm according to capital budgeting
technique used by firms. These results are well supported by the literature.
