Dynamic Bond Portfolios under Model and Estimation Risk

Peter Feldh Linda S. Larsen Claus Munk Anders B. Trolle

Abstract

We investigate the impact of parameter uncertainty on the performance of bond portfolios. We assume that the data generating process is represented by the well-established three-factor essentially ane Gaussian term structure model. We estimate this model and three simpler models to US data using the

Markov Chain Monte Carlo method which provides a posterior distribution of parameters given the…

Outlier analysis: Chebyschev criteria vs approach based on Mutual Information

As often happens, I usually do many thing in the same time, so during a break while I was working for a new post on applications of mutual information in data mining, I read the interesting paper suggested by Sandro Saitta on his blog (dataminingblog)  related to the outlier detection.

Web Report Studio: Adding Drill-Down Filter Based on a Date

When I was creating the Summary and Detailed reports for the SAS Global Forum paper, I was demonstrating how to link from the weekly chart to the detailed report about the week.  On my first try with my Week Filter based on the date value – it just would not work.  Eeek!  To fix the problem I made a new data item that was a character value.  This posts talks about my strategy.  [You can read our paper "…
