a benchmarking approach to optimal asset allocation for insurers and pension funds

uncertainty in the financial market will be driven by underlying brownian motions, while the assets are assumed to be general stochastic processes adapted to the filtration of the brownian motions. the goal of this study is to calculate the accumulated wealth in order to optimize the expected terminal value using a suitable utility function. this thesis introduced the lim-wong’s benchmark fun...

A Bayes Rule for Density Matrices

The classical Bayes rule computes the posterior model probability from the prior probability and the data likelihood. We generalize this rule to the case when the prior is a density matrix (symmetric positive definite and trace one) and the data likelihood a covariance matrix. The classical Bayes rule is retained as the special case when the matrices are diagonal. In the classical setting, the ...

Teaching Bayes ' Rule : A Data

There is a current emphasis on making the introductory statistics class more dataoriented. Data distributions are used to motivate probability distributions, such as the normal, and sampling distributions. However, di culties remain in communicating the basic tenets of traditional statistical procedures such as con dence intervals and hypothesis tests. It is shown that skills in understanding r...

A plea for a touch of idealism: reply to P Whitaker.

Whitaker's plea for a 'touch of realism' in discussions of health care allocation introduces a criterion of relevance according to which theoretical conclusions in medical ethics should be relevant to 'events in the real world' (2). Whitaker also argues that Lewis and Charny's (3) proposal to allocate resources on the basis of opinion surveys is not relevant in the real world and that my reply ...
