Inference for the Sharpe Ratio Using a Likelihood-Based Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Sharpe ratio is the prominent risk-adjusted performance measure used by practitioners. Statistical testing of this ratio using its asymptotic distribution has lagged behind its use. In this paper, highly accurate likelihood analysis is applied for inference on the Sharpe ratio. Both the oneand two-sample problems are considered. The methodology has O n−3/2 distributional accuracy and can be implemented using any parametric return distribution structure. Simulations are provided to demonstrate the method’s superior accuracy over existing methods used for testing in the literature.

Comparison of Portfolios Formed by Use of Grid Strategy Model Based on New and Traditional Variables Performance With Sharpe and Treynor Measures (Evidence of IRAN Exchange)
In this research, performance of portfolios formed by use of grid strategy based on new variables (aggressive, indifference and defensive stocks) presented by Rahnamaye Roodposhti (1388), and traditional ones (growth, growth-value and value stocks), calculated with Sharpe and Treynor performance measures and tested by an Active portfolio management approach to identify the portfolios by perform...
متن کاملModified signed log-likelihood test for the coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian population
In this paper, we consider the problem of two sided hypothesis testing for the parameter of coefficient of variation of an inverse Gaussian population. An approach used here is the modified signed log-likelihood ratio (MSLR) method which is the modification of traditional signed log-likelihood ratio test. Previous works show that this proposed method has third-order accuracy whereas the traditi...
متن کاملAccurate Inference for the Mean of the Poisson-Exponential Distribution
Although the random sum distribution has been well-studied in probability theory, inference for the mean of such distribution is very limited in the literature. In this paper, two approaches are proposed to obtain inference for the mean of the Poisson-Exponential distribution. Both proposed approaches require the log-likelihood function of the Poisson-Exponential distribution, but the exact for...
متن کاملOutperformance Testing of a Dynamic Assets Portfolio Selection Supplemented with a Continuous Paths Levy Process
This study aims at getting a better performance for optimal stock portfolios by modeling stocks prices dynamics through a continuous paths Levy process. To this end, the share prices are simulated using a multi-dimensional geometric Brownian motion model. Then, we use the results to form the optimal portfolio by maximizing the Sharpe ratio and comparing the findings with the outputs of the conv...
متن کاملAdaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System application for hydrothermal alteration mapping using ASTER data
The main problem associated with the traditional approach to image classification for the mapping of hydrothermal alteration is that materials not associated with hydrothermal alteration may be erroneously classified as hydrothermally altered due to the similar spectral properties of altered and unaltered minerals. The major objective of this paper is to investigate the potential of a neuro-fuz...
