LARGER, SHARPER & DEEPER

Using SharpeR

The SharpeR package provides basic functionality for testing significance of the Sharpe ratio of a series of returns, and of the Markowitz portfolio on a number of possibly correlated assets.[15] The goal of the package is to make it simple to estimate profitability (in terms of riskadjusted returns) of strategies or asset streams. 1 The Sharpe ratio and Optimal Sharpe ratio Sharpe defined the ...

Sharper Ring-LWE Signatures

We present TESLA] (pronounced “Tesla Sharp”), a digital signature scheme based on the R-LWE assumption that continues a recent line of proposals of lattice-based digital signature schemes originating in work by Lyubashevsky as well as by Bai and Galbraith. It improves upon all of its predecessors in that it attains much faster key pair generation, signing, and verification, outperforming most (...

Sharper changes in topologies

LetG be a Polish group, τ a Polish topology on a spaceX, G acting continuously on (X, τ), with B ⊂ X G-invariant and in the Borel algebra generated by τ . Then there is a larger Polish topology τ ⊃ τ on X so that B is open with respect to τ, G still acts continuously on (X, τ), and τ has a basis consisting of sets that are of the same Borel rank as B relative to τ . 1

Occam's Razor Just Got Sharper

Occam’s razor is the principle that, given two hypotheses consistent with the observed data, the simpler one should be preferred. Many machine learning algorithms follow this principle and search for a small hypothesis within the version space. The principle has been the subject of a heated debate with theoretical and empirical arguments both for and against it. Earlier empirical studies lacked...
