Greater downside risk aversion in the large
In this paper, we advance a definition of greater downside risk aversion that applies to both large and small changes in risk preference, and thereby complements the results for small changes reported previously. We show that a downside riskaverse transformation of a utility function results in a function that is more downside risk averse in the same manner that a risk-averse transformation inc...
متن کاملSum rules via large deviations
In the theory of orthogonal polynomials, sum rules are remarkable relationships between a functional defined on a subset of all probability measures involving the reverse KullbackLeibler divergence with respect to a particular distribution and recursion coefficients related to the orthogonal polynomial construction. Killip and Simon (Killip and Simon (2003)) have given a revival interest to thi...
متن کاملOptimal Investment and Asymmetric Risk for A Large Portfolio: A Large Deviations Approach
Motivated by the fact that hedge funds staffs more often than not face the problem of optimal asset allocation for large portfolios of investable stocks, In this study we propose a new theoretical framework based on the large deviations theory to select an optimal investment strategy for a large portfolio such that the risk, which is defined as the probability that the portfolio return underper...
متن کاملGuessing and Compression : A Large Deviations Approach
The problem of guessing a random string is studied. It arises in the analysis of the strength of secret-key cryptosystems against guessing attacks. Expected number of guesses, or more generally moments of the number of guesses needed to break the cryptosystem grow exponentially with the length of the string. This thesis studies the rate of exponential growth of these moments using the theory of...
متن کاملLarge Scale Empirical Risk Minimization via Truncated Adaptive Newton Method
We consider large scale empirical risk minimization (ERM) problems, where both the problem dimension and variable size is large. In these cases, most second order methods are infeasible due to the high cost in both computing the Hessian over all samples and computing its inverse in high dimensions. In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive sample size second-order method, which reduces the cos...
