Correzione data - Seminario I. Crimaldi

27 Jan '14

Giovedì 6 febbraio, alle ore 15:00, presso l'aula Seminario VII del Dipartimento di Matematica di Padova la Prof.ssa Irene Crimaldi (IMT Lucca) terra' il seguente seminario TITLE: Asymptotic Results for some Preferential Attachment Models with Random Weights ABSTRACT: Various asymptotic results will be shown for the "randomly reinforced" versions of three popular models: Polya urn, Poisson-Dirichlet sequence and Indian buffet process. The main central limit theorem will be stated for an arbitrary sequence of real random variables. Indeed, although this result has been thought for urn problems, it deals with the general problem of the rate of convergence of predictive distributions and empirical distributions for dependent data.

Seminario di Fabio Gobbi a Bologna
by giacomo.scandolo＠univr.it 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Il giorno Giovedì 30 Gennaio 2014, alle ore 14:30 presso la sede di Prometeia (sala grande, primo piano) via G.Marconi 43, Bologna si terrà il Seminario del Dott. Fabio Gobbi Dipartimento di Scienze Statistiche, Università di Bologna Titolo: C-CONVOLUTION AND ITS APPLICATION TO FINANCE Abstract In ﬁnancial applications is interesting to determine the distribution function of the sum of two random variables X and Y in the case where they are dependent. We address the problem using the convolution operator which recovers the distribution of X+Y when a copula function C describes the dependence structure and the marginal distributions of the two r.vs. are given. Nevertheless, almost all the ﬁnancial data are generated by stochastic processes. Our C-convolution approach allows to build dependent increments processes since setting X = X(t-1) − and Y = DX, their sum is X_t . In this framework we model the dependence structure between the level of the process and its next increment. From an empirical point of view, ﬁnancial data are time series and the econometric analysis is provided by the concept of conditional copula introduced by Patton (2006) which allows us to deﬁne the conditional 𝐶-convolution as a data generating process. We estimate such a model by a three-stage maximum likelihood method and we provide some asymptotic results of this estimator. An immediate ﬁnancial application of such a method is given by a copula-based model to recover the distribution of actively managed funds. The analysis is based on a general representation of the Henriksson Merton (1981) model, in which the forecasting ability of the asset manager is modeled with a copula function (linking the forecasts of the asset manager and actual market movements). This is a convolution-based copula yielding at the same time the marginal distribution of the return on the managed fund and the dependence structure between the managed fund and the market. The model is very well suited to estimate and simulate the conditional distribution of managed funds.

In order to take into proper account such difficulties, it is possible to consider surrogates of the original likelihood, which produce the wide class of the so-called pseudo-likelihoods. In this talk we review the properties and applications of the so-called pseudo-posterior distributions, i.e. posterior distributions derived from the combination of a pseudo-likelihood function with suitable prior information. Some examples are illustrated.
