Blog Post: Falkenblog: Match of the Century

Posted: 04 Nov 2012 06:02 PM PST

Kyle Dake wrestled David Taylor last weekend in a preseason match. Both are dominant college wrestlers, and they had a great match. Both were very cautious, and Dake won 2-1 in overtime (Taylor in blue, Dake in red, right). You can see it here.Personally, I'm a Taylor fan. He goes for big moves more often, and I appreciate that. Sure, occasionally he gets pinned, but I prefer that type of style...

Published / Preprint: On an Integral Equation for the Free Boundary of Stochastic, Irreversible Investment Problems. (arXiv:1211.0412v1 [q-fin.PM])

Posted: 04 Nov 2012 05:32 PM PST

In this paper we derive a new handy integral equation for the free boundary of infinite time horizon, continuous time, stochastic, irreversible investment problems with uncertainty modeled as a one-dimensional, regular diffusion X. The new integral equation allows to explicitly find the free boundary, b, in some so far unsolved cases, as when X is a three-dimensional Bessel process or a CEV...

Published / Preprint: Large Financial Markets and Asymptotic Arbitrage with Small Transaction Costs. (arXiv:1211.0443v1 [q-fin.PR])

Posted: 04 Nov 2012 05:32 PM PST

We give characterizations of asymptotic arbitrage of the first and second kind and of strong asymptotic arbitrage for large financial markets with small proportional transaction costs $\la_n$ on market $n$ in terms of contiguity properties of sequences of equivalent probability measures induced by $\la_n$--consistent price systems. These results are analogous to the frictionless case. Our...

Blog Post: ThePracticalQuant: Reconstruction Error: A promising fresh take on Automatic Text Summarization

Posted: 04 Nov 2012 09:53 AM PST

I've long been intrigued by automatic text summarization. I've never had to dive in and play around with current algorithms - usually the first few sentences (or the abstract if its available) suffice - but I suspect that over time, the tools will get easier and more effective, and that I'll be using them routinely. The most popular1 approaches boil down to this simple idea: identify a few...
