Diversification rate

The LTT plot (Figure 17.2) allows comparison of the pattern of diversification of extant taxa in the pleurocarpous mosses with the equivalent curves for the angiosperms and polypod ferns as calculated by Schneider et al. (2004). Note that the shape of these plots is susceptible to differences in the sampling strategy (Nee et al., 1994 Pybus and Harvey, 2(XX) Shaw et al., 2003). Issues of systematic sampling bias were not explored by Shaw et al. (2003), who concentrated instead on the effect of randomized incomplete sampling, allowing them to accept or reject different models of diversification rates. 

Finance make projections of yearly cash flow on costs and revenues for your design, compute its net present value and internal rate of return. How do the proposed products rank in project return and security, and in corporate risk diversification ... 

There are three basic principles of investing 1) risk and how risk regulates the rate of return, 2) how diversification moderates risk, and 3) growth through compounding, which is even better when it is tax deferred. 

Fig. 2.6. Evolutionary design of biopolymers in selection cycles. Properties of biomolecules, for example binding to a target or catalytic function, are optimized iteratively through selection cycles. Each cycle consists of three phases (i) amplification, (ii) diversification by replication with problem adjusted error rates (or random synthesis), and (iii) selection. Amplification and di-...

Investors are often attracted to balance sheet CDOs because they provide investors with a higher return relative to more traditional ABS when compared on a rating equivalency basis, that is, the incremental spread is attributable to the fact that CDOs tend to be less liquid and more complex. Investors also see value in the diversification they offer when included as part of a broader, more traditional structured finance portfolio. For reference, a typical bank balance sheet CLO has the following capital structure characteristics ... 

Portfolio quality and inherent diversification The portfolio of European ABS represents credit exposure to different consumer and corporate sectors, across multiple countries and multiple asset managers/ servicers. The portfolio on closing had an average rating of Baa2/BBB.
