Using Pitman Closeness to Compare Stock Return Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper provides an alternate method of evaluating portfolio performance of stock pricing models. We apply Pitman Closeness Criterion to compare the accuracy of three popular pricing models. This comparison is used to assess which, if any, model outperforms the others. In assessing model performance over a long period of time, we find that the Fama-French three-factor model and the Carhart four-factor model each show better performance in prediction of stock returns than CAPM. When we limit the study to more recent data, the Carhart model shows better performance for more portfolios than the Fama-French and the CAPM models.

Pitman-Closeness of Preliminary Test and Some Classical Estimators Based on Records from Two-Parameter Exponential Distribution
In this paper, we study the performance of estimators of parametersof two-parameter exponential distribution based on upper records. The generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) test was used to generate preliminary test estimator (PTE) for both parameters. We have compared the proposed estimator with maximum likelihood (ML) and unbiased estimators (UE) under mean-squared error (MSE) and Pitman me...
متن کاملUsing different Pitman-closeness techniques for the linear combination of multivariate forecasts
We specify the Pitman-closeness criterion for the evaluation of multivariate forecasts in three categories. This is done closely to the definition of covariance adjustment techniques analysed in other articles. We also apply the Pitman-closeness techniques to an example dealing with German economic data.
متن کاملModeling Stock Return Volatility Using Symmetric and Asymmetric Nonlinear State Space Models: Case of Tehran Stock Market
Volatility is a measure of uncertainty that plays a central role in financial theory, risk management, and pricing authority. Turbulence is the conditional variance of changes in asset prices that is not directly observable and is considered a hidden variable that is indirectly calculated using some approximations. To do this, two general approaches are presented in the literature of financial ...
متن کاملThe Integration of Multi-Factor Model of Capital Asset Pricing and Penalty Function for Stock Return Evaluation
One of the main concerns of investors is the evaluation of the return on investment, which is conducted using various models such as the CAPM (single-factor model), Fama-French three/five-factor models, and Roy and Shijin’s six-factor model and other models known as multi-factor models. Despite the widespread use of these models, their major drawbacks include sensitivity to unexpected changes, ...

This paper investigates the nature of volatility characteristics of stock returns in the Bangladesh stock markets employing daily all share price index return data of Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) from 02 January 1993 to 27 January 2013 and 01 January 2004 to 20 August 2015 respectively. Furthermore, the study explores the adequate volatility model for the stoc...
