Published / Preprint: Comparing the performance of FA, DFA and DMA using different synthetic long-range correlated time series. (arXiv:1208.4158v1 [physics.data-an])

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:34 PM PDT

Notwithstanding the significant efforts to develop estimators of long-range correlations (LRC) and to compare their performance, no clear consensus exists on what is the best method and under which conditions. In addition, synthetic tests suggest that the performance of LRC estimators varies when using different generators of LRC time series. Here, we compare the performances of four estimators...

Published / Preprint: Small time central limit theorems for semimartingales with applications. (arXiv:1208.4282v1 [math.PR])

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:34 PM PDT

We give conditions under which the normalized marginal distribution of a semimartingale converges to a Gaussian limit law as time tends to zero. In particular, our result is applicable to solutions of stochastic differential equations with locally bounded and continuous coefficients. The limit theorems are subsequently extended to functional central limit theorems on the process level. We present...

Published / Preprint: Robust maximization of asymptotic growth. (arXiv:1005.3454v4 [q-fin.PM] UPDATED)

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:34 PM PDT

This paper addresses the question of how to invest in a robust growth-optimal way in a market where the instantaneous expected return of the underlying process is unknown. The optimal investment strategy is identified using a generalized version of the principal eigenfunction for an elliptic second-order differential operator, which depends on the covariance structure of the underlying process...

Published / Preprint: Outperforming the market portfolio with a given probability. (arXiv:1006.3224v6 [q-fin.CP] UPDATED)

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:34 PM PDT

Our goal is to resolve a problem proposed by Fernholz and Karatzas [On optimal arbitrage (2008) Columbia Univ.]: to characterize the minimum amount of initial capital with which an investor can beat the market portfolio with a certain probability, as a function of the market configuration and time to maturity. We show that this value function is the smallest nonnegative viscosity supersolution of...

Blog Post: Falkenblog: Finance is Domain Specific Knowledge

Posted: 21 Aug 2012 05:24 PM PDT

A nice thought is that learning something like Latin, Western Civilization, or chess, generates insights one can generalize to many things later in life. Many like to think that solving logical puzzles can help the elderly stave off dementia. Unfortunately, it's hard to find evidence that this works. Bryan Caplan notes that "learning is highly specific." That is, if you want to become a...

A large portion of this week’s Amp Camp at UC Berkeley, is devoted to an introduction to Spark â€" an open source, in-memory, cluster computing framework. After playing with Spark over the last month, I’ve come to consider it a key part of my big data toolkit. For details see my Radar post.
