Are Analysts’ Loss Functions Asymmetric?
Recent research suggests that optimistically biased earnings forecasts issued by analysts are attributable to analysts minimizing symmetric, linear loss functions. We test an alternative explanation, namely that analysts have asymmetric loss functions. Theory predicts that if loss functions are asymmetric then forecast error bias depends on forecast error variance, but not necessarily on skewne...
متن کاملEfficient Optimization for Rank-based Loss Functions
The accuracy of information retrieval systems is often measured using complex non-decomposable loss functions such as the average precision (AP) or the normalized discounted cumulative gain (NDCG). Given a set of positive (relevant) and negative (non-relevant) samples, the parameters of a retrieval system can be estimated using a rank SVM framework, which minimizes a regularized convex upper bo...
متن کاملCapacity Management for Contract Manufacturing
Contract manufacturers sell capacity under different terms to different buyers. In a common practice, the supplier offers a market standard price and lead-time combination for products listed in its catalog. At the same time, it strikes contracts with some high-volume customers who require recurring delivery of a custom product at a short notice, usually timed to meet the buyer’s production sch...
متن کاملQuantile Optimization for Heavy-tailed Distributions Using Asymmetric Signum Functions
In this paper, we present a provably convergent algorithm for computing the quantile of a random variable that does not require storing all of the sample realizations. We then present an algorithm for optimizing the quantile of a random function which may be characterized by a heavy-tailed distribution where the expectation is not defined. The algorithm is illustrated in the context of electric...
متن کاملPrecautionary Learning, Endogenously Asymmetric Loss Functions and Inflationary Biases∗
We consider a canonical model of monetary policy in which the central bank learns about underlying fundamentals by estimating the parameters of a Phillips curve while disregarding the role of the public’s expectations. We show that the bank’s loss function is endogenously asymmetric with respect to these estimates such that overestimates may be more or less costly than underestimates, introduci...
