Using SharpeR
نویسنده
چکیده
The SharpeR package provides basic functionality for testing significance of the Sharpe ratio of a series of returns, and of the Markowitz portfolio on a number of possibly correlated assets.[15] The goal of the package is to make it simple to estimate profitability (in terms of riskadjusted returns) of strategies or asset streams. 1 The Sharpe ratio and Optimal Sharpe ratio Sharpe defined the ‘reward to variability ratio’, now known as the ‘Sharpe ratio’, as the sample statistic ζ̂ = μ̂ σ̂ , where μ̂ is the sample mean, and σ̂ is the sample standard deviation. [15] The Sharpe ratio was later redefined to include a ‘risk-free’ or ‘disastrous rate of return’: ζ̂ = (μ̂− r0) /σ̂. It is little appreciated in quantitative finance that the Sharpe ratio is identical to the sample statistic proposed by Gosset in 1908 to test for zero mean when the variance is unknown. [5] The ‘t-test’ we know today, which includes an adjustment for sample size, was formulated later by Fisher. [4] Knowing that the Sharpe ratio is related to the t-statistic provides a ‘natural arbitrage,’ since the latter has been extensively studied. Many of the interesting properties of the t-statistic can be translated to properties about the Sharpe ratio. Also little appreciated is that the multivariate analogue of the t-statistic, Hotelling’s T , is related to the Markowitz portfolio. Consider the following portfolio optimization problem: max ν̂:ν̂Σ̂ν̂≤R2 ν̂ ⊤ μ̂− r0

Notions of denseness
The notion of a completely saturated packing [1] is a sharper version of maximum density, and the analogous notion of a completely reduced covering is a sharper version of minimum density. We define two related notions: uniformly recurrent dense packings and diffusively dominant packings. Every compact domain in Euclidean space has a uniformly recurrent dense packing. If the domain self-nests, ...

The buried hetero-structure (BH) InGaAsP-InP waveguide is used for asystem of double microring resonators (DMR). The light transmission and location ofresonant peaks are determined for six different sets of ring radii with different ordermode numbers. The effect of changing middle coupling coefficient on the box likeresponse is studied. It is found that the surge of coupling coefficient to the ...

متن کاملImproved Image Fusion in PET/CT Using Hybrid Image Reconstruction and Super-Resolution
PURPOSE To provide PET/CT image fusion with an improved PET resolution and better contrast ratios than standard reconstructions. METHOD Using a super-resolution algorithm, several PET acquisitions were combined to improve the resolution. In addition, functional PET data was smoothed with a hybrid computed tomography algorithm (HCT), in which anatomical edge information taken from the CT was e...
متن کاملTunnel vision: sharper gradient of spatial attention in autism.
Enhanced perception of detail has long been regarded a hallmark of autism spectrum conditions (ASC), but its origins are unknown. Normal sensitivity on all fundamental perceptual measures-visual acuity, contrast discrimination, and flicker detection-is strongly established in the literature. If individuals with ASC do not have superior low-level vision, how is perception of detail enhanced? We ...
