We examine a random model consisting of objects with positive weights and evolving in discrete time steps, which generalizes certain random graph models. We prove almost sure convergence for the weight distribution and show scale-free…

Portfolio balancing requires estimates of covariance between asset returns. Returns data have histories which greatly vary in length, since assets begin public trading at different times. This can lead to a huge amount of missing data--too…

In portfolio analysis, the traditional approach of replacing population moments with sample counterparts may lead to suboptimal portfolio choices. I show that optimal portfolio weights can be estimated using a machine learning (ML)…

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic distribution of likelihood ratio tests in models with several groups, when the number of groups converges with the dimension and sample size to infinity. We derive central limit theorems for the…

The construction of an efficient portfolio with a good level of return and minimal risk depends on selecting the optimal combination of stocks. This paper introduces a novel decision-making framework for stock selection based on fractional…

This paper uses an incremental matrix expansion approach to derive asymptotic eigenvalue distributions (a.e.d.'s) of sums and products of large random matrices. We show that the result can be derived directly as a consequence of two common…

We use the well-known isomorphism between operator algebras and function spaces equipped with a star product to study the asymptotic properties of certain matrix sequences in which the matrix dimension $D$ tends to infinity. Our approach is…

Assuming frictionless trading, classical stochastic portfolio theory (SPT) provides relative arbitrage strategies. However, the costs associated with real-world execution are state-dependent, volatile, and under increasing stress during…

This paper is concerned with asymptotic behavior of a variety of functionals of increments of continuous semimartingales. Sampling times are assumed to follow a rather general discretization scheme. If an underlying semimartingale is…

In this paper, we derive high-dimensional asymptotic properties of the Moore-Penrose inverse and, as a byproduct, of various ridge-type inverses of the sample covariance matrix. In particular, the analytical expressions of the asymptotic…

The optimization of large portfolios displays an inherent instability to estimation error. This poses a fundamental problem, because solutions that are not stable under sample fluctuations may look optimal for a given sample, but are, in…

It is now widely accepted that, to model the dynamics of daily financial returns, volatility models have to incorporate the so-called leverage effect. We derive the asymptotic behaviour of the squared residuals autocovariances for the class…

This paper introduces a novel two-sample test for a broad class of orthogonally equivalent positive definite symmetric matrix distributions. Our test is the first of its kind and we derive its asymptotic distribution. To estimate the test…

For nonparametric inference about a function, multiscale testing procedures resolve the need for bandwidth selection and achieve asymptotically optimal detection performance against a broad range of alternatives. However, critical values…
