151	跳躍風險與隨機波動度下溫度衍生性商品之評價 / Pricing Temperature Derivatives under Jump Risks and Stochastic Volatility 莊明哲, Chuang, Ming Che Unknown Date (has links) 本研究利用美國芝加哥商品交易所針對 18 個城市發行之冷氣指數／暖氣指數衍生性商品與相對應之日均溫進行分析與評價。研究成果與貢獻如下：一、延伸 Alaton, Djehince, and Stillberg (2002) 模型，引入跳躍風險、隨機波動度、波動跳躍等因子，提出新模型以捕捉更多溫度指數之特徵。二、針對不同模型，分別利用最大概似法、期望最大演算法、粒子濾波演算法等進行參數估計。實證結果顯示新模型具有較好之配適能力。三、利用 Esscher 轉換將真實機率測度轉換至風險中立機率測度，並進一步利用　Feynman-Kac 方程式與傅立葉轉換求出溫度模型之機率分配。四、推導冷氣指數／暖氣指數期貨之半封閉評價公式，而冷氣指數／暖氣指數期貨之選擇權不存在封閉評價公式，則利用蒙地卡羅模擬進行評價。五、無論樣本內與樣本外之定價誤差，考慮隨機波動度型態之模型對於溫度衍生性商品皆具有較好之評價績效。六、實證指出溫度市場之市場風險價格為負，顯示投資人承受較高之溫度風險時會要求較高之風險溢酬。本研究可給予受溫度風險影響之產業，針對衍生性商品之評價與模型參數估計上提供較為精準、客觀與較有效率之工具。 / This study uses the daily average temperature index (DAT) and market price of the CDD/HDD derivatives for 18 cities from the CME group. There are some contributions in this study: (i) we extend the Alaton, Djehince, and Stillberg (2002)'s framework by introducing the jump risk, the stochastic volatility, and the jump in volatility. (ii) The model parameters are estimated by the MLE, the EM algorithm, and the PF algorithm. And, the complex model exists the better goodness-of-fit for the path of the temperature index. (iii) We employ the Esscher transform to change the probability measure and derive the probability density function of each model by the Feynman-Kac formula and the Fourier transform. (iv) The semi-closed form of the CDD/HDD futures pricing formula is derived, and we use the Monte-Carlo simulation to value the CDD/HDD futures options due to no closed-form solution. (v) Whatever in-sample and out-of-sample pricing performance, the type of the stochastic volatility performs the better fitting for the temperature derivatives. (vi) The market price of risk differs to zero significantly (most are negative), so the investors require the positive weather risk premium for the derivatives. The results in this study can provide the guide of fitting model and pricing derivatives to the weather-linked institutions in the future. 日均溫風險中立評價法隨機波動度跳躍風險粒子濾波演算法期望最大演算法 daily average temperature index CDD/HDD derivatives risk-neutral pricing method stochastic volatility jump risk particle filter algorithm expectation-maximization algorithm
152	A Multi-Factor Stock Market Model with Regime-Switches, Student's T Margins, and Copula Dependencies Berberovic, Adnan, Eriksson, Alexander January 2017 (has links) Investors constantly seek information that provides an edge over the market. One of the conventional methods is to find factors which can predict asset returns. In this study we improve the Fama and French Five-Factor model with Regime-Switches, student's t distributions and copula dependencies. We also add price momentum as a sixth factor and add a one-day lag to the factors. The Regime-Switches are obtained from a Hidden Markov Model with conditional Student's t distributions. For the return process we use factor data as input, Student's t distributed residuals, and Student's t copula dependencies. To fit the copulas, we develop a novel approach based on the Expectation-Maximisation algorithm. The results are promising as the quantiles for most of the portfolios show a good fit to the theoretical quantiles. Using a sophisticated Stochastic Programming model, we back-test the predictive power over a 26 year period out-of-sample. Furthermore we analyse the performance of different factors during different market regimes. finance statistics stock market stocks factor factors probability probability distribution students t distrbution students t copula markov chain hidden markov model regime switching stochastic programming optimisation optimization multi factor model arbitrage pricing theory return performance back test expectation maximisation expectation maximization multiple linear regression stochastic process primal-dual interior point qq-plot qq plot excess return market regimes bear market bull market market index index Probability Theory and Statistics Sannolikhetsteori och statistik
153	Joint models for longitudinal and survival data Yang, Lili 11 July 2014 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Epidemiologic and clinical studies routinely collect longitudinal measures of multiple outcomes. These longitudinal outcomes can be used to establish the temporal order of relevant biological processes and their association with the onset of clinical symptoms. In the first part of this thesis, we proposed to use bivariate change point models for two longitudinal outcomes with a focus on estimating the correlation between the two change points. We adopted a Bayesian approach for parameter estimation and inference. In the second part, we considered the situation when time-to-event outcome is also collected along with multiple longitudinal biomarkers measured until the occurrence of the event or censoring. Joint models for longitudinal and time-to-event data can be used to estimate the association between the characteristics of the longitudinal measures over time and survival time. We developed a maximum-likelihood method to joint model multiple longitudinal biomarkers and a time-to-event outcome. In addition, we focused on predicting conditional survival probabilities and evaluating the predictive accuracy of multiple longitudinal biomarkers in the joint modeling framework. We assessed the performance of the proposed methods in simulation studies and applied the new methods to data sets from two cohort studies. / National Institutes of Health (NIH) Grants R01 AG019181, R24 MH080827, P30 AG10133, R01 AG09956. joint models longitudinal data survival data bivariate change point models prediction Bayesian method EM algorithm Biologically-inspired computing Probability measures Expectation-maximization algorithms Failure time data analysis Numerical analysis -- Data processing Clinical trials -- Statistical methods
