Quantile hedging on markets with proportional transaction costs

Michał Baran (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The problem of risk measures in a discrete-time market model with transaction costs is studied. Strategy effectiveness and shortfall risk are introduced. This gives a generalization of quantile hedging presented in [4].

On the order equivalence relation of binary association measures

Mariusz Paradowski (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

Over a century of research has resulted in a set of more than a hundred binary association measures. Many of them share similar properties. An overview of binary association measures is presented, focused on their order equivalences. Association measures are grouped according to their relations. Transformations between these measures are shown, both formally and visually. A generalization coefficient is proposed, based on joint probability and marginal probabilities. Combining association...

Measuring herd behavior: properties and pitfalls

Woojoo Lee, Jae Youn Ahn (2017)

Dependence Modeling

Similarity:

Herd behavior is an important economic phenomenon, especially in the context of the recent financial crises. Prior studies propose several measures to quantify herd behavior. In this paper, we show that these measures reflect different perspectives on this behavior, and hence, their interpretation requires great care. Taking a critical attitude toward existing herd behavior measures, we study their properties and pitfalls in detail.

Generalized duration measures in a risk immunization setting. Implementation of the Heath-Jarrow-Morton model

Alina Kondratiuk-Janyska, Marek Kałuszka (2006)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

The aim of this paper is to set different lower bounds on the change of the expected net cash flow value at time H > 0 in general term structure models, referring to the studies of Fong and Vasiček (1984), Nawalkha and Chambers (1996), and Balbás and Ibáñez (1998) among others. New immunization strategies are derived with new risk measures: generalized duration and generalized M-absolute of Nawalkha and Chambers, and exponential risk measure. Furthermore, examples of specific one-factor...

Can interestingness measures be usefully visualized?

Robert Susmaga, Izabela Szczech (2015)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

Similarity:

The paper presents visualization techniques for interestingness measures. The process of measure visualization provides useful insights into different domain areas of the visualized measures and thus effectively assists their comprehension and selection for different knowledge discovery tasks. Assuming a common domain form of the visualized measures, a set of contingency tables, which consists of all possible tables having the same total number of observations, is constructed. These...

Region of interest contrast measures

Václav Remeš, Michal Haindl (2018)

Kybernetika

Similarity:

A survey of local image contrast measures is presented and a new contrast measure for measuring the local contrast of regions of interest is proposed. The measures validation is based on the gradual objective contrast decreasing on medical test images in both grayscale and color. The performance of the eleven most frequented contrast measures is mutually compared and their robustness to different types of image degradation is analyzed. Since the contrast measures can be both global,...

Robustness regions for measures of risk aggregation

Silvana M. Pesenti, Pietro Millossovich, Andreas Tsanakas (2016)

Dependence Modeling

Similarity:

One of risk measures’ key purposes is to consistently rank and distinguish between different risk profiles. From a practical perspective, a risk measure should also be robust, that is, insensitive to small perturbations in input assumptions. It is known in the literature [14, 39], that strong assumptions on the risk measure’s ability to distinguish between risks may lead to a lack of robustness. We address the trade-off between robustness and consistent risk ranking by specifying the...
