Optimal Covariances in Risk Model Aggregation
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract: Portfolio risk forecasts are often made by estimating an asset or factor covariance matrix. Practitioners commonly want to adjust a global covariance matrix encompassing several sub-markets by individually correcting the sub-market diagonal blocks. Since this is likely to result in the loss of positive semi-definiteness of the overall matrix, the off-diagonal blocks must then be adjusted to restore that property. Since there are many ways to do this adjustment, this leads to an optimization problem of Procrustes type. We discuss two solutions: a closed form solution using an adapted norm, and a fast majorization approach.

Optimal Rates of Aggregation
We study the problem of aggregation of M arbitrary estimators of a regression function with respect to the mean squared risk. Three main types of aggregation are considered: model selection, convex and linear aggregation. We define the notion of optimal rate of aggregation in an abstract context and prove lower bounds valid for any method of aggregation. We then construct procedures that attain...
متن کاملOptimal rates of aggregation in classification
In the same spirit as Tsybakov [2003], we define the optimality of an aggregation procedure in the problem of classification. Using an aggregate with exponential weights, we obtain an optimal rate of convex aggregation for the hinge risk under the margin assumption. Moreover we obtain an optimal rate of model selection aggregation under the margin assumption for the excess Bayes risk. AMS 1991 ...
متن کاملOptimal replenishment and credit policy in supply chain inventory model under two levels of trade credit with time- and credit-sensitive demand involving default risk
Traditional supply chain inventory modes with trade credit usually only assumed that the up-stream suppliers offered the down-stream retailers a fixed credit period. However, in practice the retailers will also provide a credit period to customers to promote the market competition. In this paper, we formulate an optimal supply chain inventory model under two levels of trade credit policy with d...
متن کاملInvestigating the risk-taking behavior of the banking industry in the form of the general equilibrium model of overlapping generations (OLG)
In this paper, using a general equilibrium model of overlapping generations, the impact of different financing plans of the banking industry on their risk-taking motivation is investigated. In the non-competitive banking industry, financing is done by imposing taxes on the older generation or the bankchr('39')s internal resources (bank shares). As an effective policy, this action optimizes soci...
متن کاملAn optimal model for Project Risk Response Portfolio Selection (P2RPS) (Case study: Research institute of petroleum industry)
In the real world, risk and uncertainty are two natural properties in the implementation of Mega projects. Most projects fail to achieve the pre-determined objectives due to uncertainty. A linear integer programming optimization model was used in this work to solve a problem in order to choose the most appropriate risk responses for the project risks. A mathematical model, in which work structu...
