Efficient Weighting: A More Powerful Test for Cross-Sectional Anomalies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many researchers seek factors that predict the cross-section of stock returns. The standard methodology sorts stocks according to their factor scores into quantiles and forms a corresponding long-short portfolio. Such a course of action ignores any information on the covariance matrix of stock returns. Historically, it has been difficult to estimate the covariance matrix for a large universe of stocks. We demonstrate that using the recent DCC-NL estimator of Engle et al. (2017) substantially enhances the power of tests for cross-sectional anomalies: On average, ‘Student’ t-statistics more than double.

متن کاملThe weighting is the hardest part: on the behavior of the likelihood ratio test and score test under weight misspecification in rare variant association studies
Rare variant association studies are at a critical inflexion point with the increasing availability of exome-sequencing data. A popular test of association is the sequence kernel association test (SKAT). Weights are embedded within SKAT to reflect the hypothesized contribution of the variants to the trait variance. Correct weighting is expected to boost power, and yet the correct weights are ge...
متن کاملRelationship between paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area and relative proprioceptive weighting ratio of older persons with lumbar spondylosis
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the paraspinal muscle cross-sectional area and the relative proprioceptive weighting ratio during local vibratory stimulation of older persons with lumbar spondylosis in an upright position. [Subjects] In all, 74 older persons hospitalized for lumbar spondylosis were included. [Methods] We measured the relative proprioc...
متن کاملShort-Documentation of the Update of the SOEP-Weights, 1984–2008
With the 2008 data, we are distributing a revised version of the SOEP weighting variables from waves 1984 to 2008. The amendments affect the cross-sectional weights (AHHRF-YHHRF) only and not the longitudinal weighting variables (BHLEIB-YHBLEIB). Several developments led to the retroactive update of the cross-sectional weights. First, the SOEP data can now be linked to extensive regional inform...
