A REGRESSION AND COMPARATIVE STUDY OF UNITED STATES AND SOUTH AFRICAN YIELD CURVES USING PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS

A regression and comparative study of United States and South African yield curves using principal component analysis

Volatile markets and economic environments can significantly distort the shape and smoothness of yield curve movements.This study explores the influence of movements in United States interest rates on South African interest rates.This study aims to identify the main underlying movements present in the United States and South African yield curves an

Width dependent collisionless electron dynamics in the static fields of the shock ramp, 2, Phase space portrait

We study numerically in detail the behaviour of electrons in the strongly inhomogeneous static magnetic and electric fields, which are typical for thin quasiperpendicular collisionless shocks.We pay particular attention to the dependence of the final electron velocities on their initial velocities, for different shock widths.Electrons are completel
