Skewness in Hedge Funds Returns: Classical Skewness Coefficients vs. Azzalini’s Skewness Parameter
Recent literature discusses the persistence of skewness and tail risk in hedge fund returns. The aim of this paper is to suggest an alternative skewness measure which is derived as the normalized shape parameter from the skew-normal distribution. First, we illustrate that the skew-normal distribution is better able to catch the characteristics of hedge fund returns than the normal distributio...
متن کاملTruncated Linear Minimax Estimator of a Power of the Scale Parameter in a Lower- Bounded Parameter Space
Minimax estimation problems with restricted parameter space reached increasing interest within the last two decades Some authors derived minimax and admissible estimators of bounded parameters under squared error loss and scale invariant squared error loss In some truncated estimation problems the most natural estimator to be considered is the truncated version of a classic...
متن کاملSkewness and Kurtosis in Large-scale Cosmic Fields
In this paper, I present the calculation of the third and fourth moments of both the distribution function of the large–scale density and the large–scale divergence of the velocity field, θ. These calculations are made by the mean of perturbative calculations assuming Gaussian initial conditions and are expected to be valid in the linear or quasi linear regime. The moments are derived for a top...
متن کاملSkewness and shock formation in laboratory-scale supersonic jet data.
Spatial properties of noise statistics near unheated, laboratory-scale supersonic jets yield insights into source characteristics and near-field shock formation. Primary findings are (1) waveforms with positive pressure skewness radiate from the source with a directivity upstream of maximum overall level and (2) skewness of the time derivative of the pressure waveforms increases significantly w...
متن کاملLevel splitting at macroscopic scale.
A walker is a classical self-propelled wave particle association moving on a fluid interface. Two walkers can interact via their waves and form orbiting bound states with quantized diameters. Here we probe the behavior of these bound states when setting the underlying bath in rotation. We show that the bound states are driven by the wave interaction between the walkers and we observe a level sp...
