Robust Portfolio Optimization Using Pseudodistances
The presence of outliers in financial asset returns is a frequently occurring phenomenon which may lead to unreliable mean-variance optimized portfolios. This fact is due to the unbounded influence that outliers can have on the mean returns and covariance estimators that are inputs in the optimization procedure. In this paper we present robust estimators of mean and covariance matrix obtained b...
متن کاملOptimal multistage Kalman estimators
An optimal multistage Kalman estimator (OMSKE) is proposed as a generalization of the optimal two-stage Kalman estimator for the reduction of the computational burden of the Kalman estimator (KE) for discrete-time linear time-varying systems with triangular transition matrices. This new filter is obtained by applying a multistage transformation to decouple the covariances of the KE. It is shown...
متن کاملFinding Optimal Estimators in Survey Sampling Using Un- Biased Estimators of Zero
Minimum mean squared error linear unbiased estimation of the total of a nite population is investigated utilizing a characterization of such estimators involving unbiased estimators of zero. Several criteria emerging from taking either or both of the design and a model into account are discussed. For each criterion, necessary and su cient conditions for existence of a best estimator and the opt...
متن کاملOptimal Estimators for Algorithmic Applications
We consider a problem in parametric estimation: given n samples from an unknown distribution, we want to estimate which distribution, from a given one-parameter family, produced the data. Following Schulman and Vazirani [2], we evaluate an estimator in terms of the chance of being within a specified tolerance of the correct answer, in the worst case. We provide optimal estimators for several fa...
متن کاملOptimal aggregation of affine estimators
We consider the problem of combining a (possibly uncountably infinite) set of affine estimators in non-parametric regression model with heteroscedastic Gaussian noise. Focusing on the exponentially weighted aggregate, we prove a PAC-Bayesian type inequality that leads to sharp oracle inequalities in discrete but also in continuous settings. The framework is general enough to cover the combinati...
