Anomaly detection is applied in many different sectors. There are many approaches to solve the anomaly detection problem. However, those that are more widely applicable are unsupervised approaches as they do not require labeled data. The aim of this thesis is to study a well-known anomaly detection technique ...

The aim of this paper is to study empirically the relationship between capital and lending spreads of banks operating in Lebanon, group alpha. Following the release of Basel III requirements, Lebanese ...
