Modelling financial time series using reflections of copulas

Jozef Komorník, Magda Komorníková (2013)

Kybernetika

We have intensified studies of reflections of copulas (that we introduced recently in [6]) and found that their convex combinations exhibit potentially useful fitting properties for original copulas of the Normal, Frank, Clayton and Gumbel types. We show that these properties enable us to construct interesting models for the relations between investment in stocks and gold.

Modelling stock returns with AR-GARCH processes.

Elzbieta Ferenstein, Miroslaw Gasowski (2004)

SORT

Financial returns are often modelled as autoregressive time series with random disturbances having conditional heteroscedastic variances, especially with GARCH type processes. GARCH processes have been intensely studied in financial and econometric literature as risk models of many financial time series. Analyzing two data sets of stock prices we try to fit AR(1) processes with GARCH or EGARCH errors to the log returns. Moreover, hyperbolic or generalized error distributions occur to be good models...

Models for option pricing based on empirical characteristic function of returns

Karol Binkowski, Andrzej Kozek (2010)

Banach Center Publications

The standard Merton-Black-Scholes formula for European Option pricing serves only as approximation to real values of options. More advanced extensions include applications of Lévy processes and are based on characteristic functions, which are more convenient to use than the corresponding probability distributions. We found one of the Lewis (2001) general theoretical formulae for option pricing based on characteristic functions particularly suitable for a statistical approach to option pricing. By...

Modified golden ratio algorithms for pseudomonotone equilibrium problems and variational inequalities

Lulu Yin, Hongwei Liu, Jun Yang (2022)

Applications of Mathematics

We propose a modification of the golden ratio algorithm for solving pseudomonotone equilibrium problems with a Lipschitz-type condition in Hilbert spaces. A new non-monotone stepsize rule is used in the method. Without such an additional condition, the theorem of weak convergence is proved. Furthermore, with strongly pseudomonotone condition, the $R$-linear convergence rate of the method is established. The results obtained are applied to a variational inequality problem, and the convergence rate...

Monotonicity and comparison results for nonnegative dynamic systems. Part II: Continuous-time case

Nico M. van Dijk, Karel Sladký (2006)

Kybernetika

This second Part II, which follows a first Part I for the discrete-time case (see [DijkSl1]), deals with monotonicity and comparison results, as generalization of the pure stochastic case, for stochastic dynamic systems with arbitrary nonnegative generators in the continuous-time case. In contrast with the discrete-time case the generalization is no longer straightforward. A discrete-time transformation will therefore be developed first. Next, results from Part I can be adopted. The conditions,...

Monotonicity and comparison results for nonnegative dynamic systems. Part I: Discrete-time case

Nico M. van Dijk, Karel Sladký (2006)

Kybernetika

In two subsequent parts, Part I and II, monotonicity and comparison results will be studied, as generalization of the pure stochastic case, for arbitrary dynamic systems governed by nonnegative matrices. Part I covers the discrete-time and Part II the continuous-time case. The research has initially been motivated by a reliability application contained in Part II. In the present Part I it is shown that monotonicity and comparison results, as known for Markov chains, do carry over rather smoothly...

More on the tournament equilibrium set

G. Laffond, J. F. Laslier, M. Le Breton (1993)

Mathématiques et Sciences Humaines

Schwartz (1990) proposed a new solution concept for choosing from a tournament ; called the Tournament Equilibrium Set. He stated four problems concerning this solution. In this paper we introduce further questions and demonstrate some logical relationship between these questions.

Multi-attribute evaluation with imprecise vector utility

Sixto Ríos-Insua, Alfonso Mateos (1996)

Revista de la Real Academia de Ciencias Exactas Físicas y Naturales

We consider the multi-attribute decision making problem with incomplete information on the decision maker's preferences, given by an imprecise vector utility function. We introduce an approximation set to the utility efficient set which may be used to aid a decision maker in reaching a final compromise strategy. We provide sorne properties and an interactive procedure based on such approximation set.
