广义Cox模型下的逐步扩大域流相关问题研究

在本文中, 我们主要讨论了广义Cox模型的信息流扩大问题. 假设在市场中有两类投资者, 第一类投资者拥有市场信息, 这里由一个维的布朗运动和一个可积随机 测度驱动; 而第二类投资者具有扩大的信息流, 这里假设是由信息流和广义Cox的模型刻画的违约信息流生成. 我们建立和刻画了广义Cox模型并且求给出它的主要性质包括生存过程和违约条件密度. 与Cox模型显著区别的是, 如果违约由广义Cox模型模型刻画, 与Cox模型平凡的结果不同的是, 鞅的分解更复杂和具有一般性.

在线性回归模型建模中, 回归自变量选择是一个受到广泛关注、文献众多, 具有很强的理论和实际意义的问题. 回归自变量选择子集的相合性是其中一个重要问题, 如果某种自变量选择方法选择的子集在样本量趋于无穷时是相合的, 而且预测均方误差较小, 则这种方法是可取的. 利用BIC准则可以挑选相合的自变量子集, 但是在自变量个数很多时计算量过大; 适应lasso方法具有较高计算效率, 也能找到相合的自变量子集; 本文提出一种更简单的自变量选择方法, 只需要计算两次普通线性回归: 第一次进行全集回归, 得到全集的回归系数估计, 然后利用这些回归系数估计挑选子集, 然后只要在挑选的自变量子集上再进行一次普通线性回归就得到了回归结果. 考虑如下的回归模型: 其中回归系数中非零分量下标的集合为, 设是本文方法选择的自变量子集下标集合, 是本文方法估计的回归系数(未选中的自变量对应的系数为零), 本文证明了, 在适当条件下, 其中表示的 分量下标在中的元素的组成的向量, 是误差方差, 是与 矩阵极限有关的矩阵和常数. 数值模拟结果表明本文方法具有很好的中小样本性质.

Dependence structure between LIBOR rates by copula method

This paper discusses the correlation structure between London Interbank Offered Rates (LIBOR) by using the copula function. We start from one simplified model of A. Brace, D. Gatarek, and M. Musiela (1997) and find out that the copula function between two LIBOR rates can be expressed as a sum of an infinite series, where the main term is a distribution function with Gaussian copula. Partial differential equation method is used for deriving the copula expansion. Numerical results show that the copula of the LIBOR rates and Gaussian copula are very close in the central region and differ in the tail, and the Gaussian copula approximation to the copula function between the LIBOR rates provides satisfying results in the normal situation.     

Superefficient estimation of the marginals by exploiting knowledge on the copula

We consider the problem of estimating the marginals in the case where there is knowledge on the copula. If the copula is smooth, it is known that it is possible to improve on the empirical distribution functions: optimal estimators still have a rate of convergence n^−1/2, but a smaller asymptotic variance. In this paper we show that for non-smooth copulas it is sometimes possible to construct superefficient estimators of the marginals: we construct both a copula and, exploiting the information our copula provides, estimators of the marginals with the rate of convergence logn/n.     

On the construction of minimum information bivariate copula families

Copulas have become very popular as modelling tools in probability applications. Given a finite number of expectation constraints for functions defined on the unit square, the minimum information copula is that copula which has minimum information (Kullback–Leibler divergence) from the uniform copula. This can be considered the most “independent” copula satisfying the constraints. We demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of such copulas, rigorously establish the relation with discrete approximations, and prove an unexpected relationship between constraint expectation values and the copula density formula.     

Computing the Volume of n-Dimensional Copulas

Abstract

A problem that is very relevant in applications of copula functions to finance is the computation of the survival copula, which is applied to enforce multivariate put–call parity. This may be very complex for large dimensions. The problem is a special case of the more general problem of volume computation in high-dimensional copulas. We provide an algorithm for the exact computation of the volume of copula functions in cases where the copula function is computable in closed form. We apply the algorithm to the problem of computing the survival of a copula function in the pricing problem of a multivariate digital option, and we provide evidence that this is feasible for baskets of up to 20 underlying assets, with acceptable CPU time performance.

Bivariate option pricing with copulas

The adoption of copula functions is suggested in order to price bivariate contingent claims. Copulas enable the marginal distributions extracted from vertical spreads in the options markets to be imbedded in a multivariate pricing kernel. It is proved that such a kernel is a copula function, and that its super-replication strategy is represented by the Fréchet bounds. Applications provided include prices for binary digital options, options on the minimum and options to exchange one asset for another. For each of these products, no-arbitrage pricing bounds, as well as values consistent with the independence of the underlying assets are provided. As a final reference value, a copula function calibrated on historical data is used.     

Model selection of copulas: AIC versus a cross validation copula information criterion

Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) is frequently employed in the semiparametric setting of selection of copula models, even though as a model selection tool it was developed in a parametric setting. Recently a Copula Information Criterion (CIC) has been especially designed for copula model selection. In this paper we examine the two approaches and present a simulation study where the performance of a cross-validated version of CIC is compared with the AIC criterion. Only minor differences are observed.     

Nonparametric spatial models for extremes: application to extreme temperature data

Estimating the probability of extreme temperature events is difficult because of limited records across time and the need to extrapolate the distributions of these events, as opposed to just the mean, to locations where observations are not available. Another related issue is the need to characterize the uncertainty in the estimated probability of extreme events at different locations. Although the tools for statistical modeling of univariate extremes are well-developed, extending these tools to model spatial extreme data is an active area of research. In this paper, in order to make inference about spatial extreme events, we introduce a new nonparametric model for extremes. We present a Dirichlet-based copula model that is a flexible alternative to parametric copula models such as the normal and t-copula. The proposed modelling approach is fitted using a Bayesian framework that allow us to take into account different sources of uncertainty in the data and models. We apply our methods to annual maximum temperature values in the east-south-central United States.     

Optimal consumption–investment and life-insurance purchase strategy for couples with correlated lifetimes

This paper presents a technique to solve the problem where a couple aims to optimize their consumption, investment, and life-insurance purchasing strategies, thereby maximizing their family objective until retirement. Assumed correlated lifetimes of the two wage earners are modeled by using both the copula and common-shock models. Subsequently, closed-form solutions are obtained for determination of the optimal strategies in both the copula and a special case of the common-shock models. As observed, use of the copula model is more advantageous in its provision of closed-form strategies and ability to distinguish mortality impacts. The optimization problem considered herein is investigated under a Markovian setting and solved using the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation. Numerical examples are also provided to illustrate the utility of the proposed optimization strategy.
