In the general geometric asset price model, the asset price P(t) at time t satisfies the relation , t ∈ [0,T], where f is a deterministic trend function, the stochastic process F describes the random fluctuations of the market, α is the trend coefficient, and σ denotes the volatility. The paper examines the problem of optimal trend estimation by utilizing the concept of kernel reproducing Hilbert spaces. It characterizes the class of trend functions with the property that the trend coefficient...
We consider the problem of providing optimal uncertainty quantification (UQ) – and hence rigorous certification – for partially-observed functions. We present a UQ framework within which the observations may be small or large in number, and need not carry information about the probability distribution of the system in operation. The UQ objectives are posed as optimization problems, the solutions of which are optimal bounds on the quantities of interest; we consider two typical settings, namely parameter...
The information divergence of a probability measure from an exponential family over a finite set is defined as infimum of the divergences of from subject to . All directional derivatives of the divergence from are explicitly found. To this end, behaviour of the conjugate of a log-Laplace transform on the boundary of its domain is analysed. The first order conditions for to be a maximizer of the divergence from are presented, including new ones when is not projectable to .
The present paper deals with least weighted squares estimator which is a robust estimator and it generalizes classical least trimmed squares. We will prove -consistency and asymptotic normality for any sequence of roots of normal equation for location model. The influence function for general case is calculated. Finally optimality of this estimator is discussed and formula for most B-robust and most V-robust weights is derived.
This article studies exponential families on finite sets such that the information divergence of an arbitrary probability distribution from is bounded by some constant . A particular class of low-dimensional exponential families that have low values of can be obtained from partitions of the state space. The main results concern optimality properties of these partition exponential families. The case where is studied in detail. This case is special, because if , then contains all probability...
The paper develops an approach to optimal design problems based on application of abstract optimisation principles in the space of measures. Various design criteria and constraints, such as bounded density, fixed barycentre, fixed variance, etc. are treated in a unified manner providing a universal variant of the Kiefer-Wolfowitz theorem and giving a full spectrum of optimality criteria for particular cases. Incorporating the optimal design problems into conventional optimisation framework makes...
