Q

Bootstrapping

A

> no knowledge of population
sample of size n
Unlike CLT that considers all samples of size n from the population - samples of size n from the known sample that also has size n
Each data item in our known sample can appear once or more or not at all in each
resample (due to replacement)
computer simulation to mimic the process of CLT : randomly drawn sample as if population
Easy to perform but only provides statistical estimates not exact results

61
Q

Resampling

A

repeatedly draws samples from one observed sample to make statistical inferences about
population parameters.

62
Q

Monte Carlo Simulation

A

> large number of random samples : represent the role of risk in the system

> specified probability distribution

e.g. pension assets with reference to pension liabilities

> Produces a frequency distribution for changes in portfolio value

> Tool for valuing complex securities

63
Q

Limitations of Monte Carlo simulation

A
  • Complement to analytical methods
  • Only provides statistical estimates, not exact results
  • Analytical methods provide more insight to cause-and-effect relationships
64
Q

Historical simulation

A
  • Sample from a historical record of returns or other underlying variables
  • Underlying rationale is that the historic record provides the best evidence
    of distributions
  • Limited by the actual events in the historic record used
  • Does not lend itself to ‘what if’ analysis like Monte Carlo simulation
65
Q

sampling error

A

diff be/een statistic and estimated parameter

66
Q

Stratified random sampling

A
  • divided into strata
  • simple random samples taken from each
    e.g. bond indices
  • Guarantees population subdivisions are represented
67
Q

Cluster sampling

A
  • divided into clusters – mini-representation of the entire population
    -certain clusters chosen as a whole using simple random sampling
  • If all members in each sample cluster are sampled: one-stage cluster sampling
  • If a subsample is randomly selected from each selected cluster : twostage cluster sampling
  • time-efficient and cost-efficient but the cluster might be less representative of the population
68
Q

Convenience sampling

A

Might be used for a pilot study before testing a large-scale and more representative
sample

69
Q

Judgmental sampling

A

Sample could be affected by the bias of the researcher

70
Q

Properties of Central Limit Theorem

A
  • Assuming any type of distribution and a large sample
  • Distribution of sample mean is approximately normal
  • Mean of the distribution of sample mean will be equal to population mean
  • Variance of distribution of sample mean equals population variance divided by the
    sample size
71
Q

Jackknife

A

> no knowledge of what the population looks like
sample of size n which is assumed to be a good representation of the population
unlike bootstrapping items are not replaced
bootstrapping we have B resamples but with jackknife we have n resamples such that resample sizes are n, n-1, n-2, n-3,……, 3, 2, 1
For a sample of size n, jackknife resampling usually requires n repetitions. In contrast, with bootstrap resampling, we are left to determine how many repetitions are appropriate
used to reduce the bias of an estimator and to find the standard error and confidence interval of an estimator

72
Q

Bootstrapping and Jackknife

A
  • Jackknife tends to produce similar results for each run whereas bootstrapping usually gives different results because resamples are drawn randomly
  • Both can be used to find the standard error or construct confidence intervals for
    the statistic of other population parameters
    > such as the median which could not be done using the Central Limit Theorem.

88
Q

What affects the width of the confidence interval

A
  • Choice of statistic (z or t)
  • Choice of degree of confidence
  • Choice of sample size
  • Larger sample size decreases width
  • Larger sample size reduces standard error
  • Big sample means t-calcs closer to z-calcs

Q

ANOVA

A

F-distributed Test Statistic
H0: b0=b1=…=0
F-test= (SSR / k) / SSE / (n-k-1) = MSR / MSE
> df = k , df = n-k-1

126
Q

Hypothesis Test of the Slope Coefficient

A
  • H0: b1 = 0
    tcalc = (bhat - b)/SE
    SE = (MSE)^(1/2) / (SUM(X-Xbar)^2)^(1/2)

or HO: b <= 0
or H0: b=1

127
Q

Hypothesis Test of the Intercept

A

H0: b0 = specified value
tcalc = (bhat0- b0) / SE
df= n-k-1
SE = SEE * (1/N + Xbar^2/sum(x-xbar)^2)^(1/2)

128
Q

Level of Significance and p-Values

A
  • Smallest level of significance at which the null hypothesis can be rejected
  • Smaller the p-value, stronger the evidence against the null hypothesis
  • The smaller the p-value, the smaller the chance of making a Type I error (rejecting the null when, in fact, it is true), but increases the chance of making a Type II error (failing to reject the null when, in fact, it is false)
129
Q

Prediction (confidence) intervals on the dependent variable

A

Y =Ŷf±tc*sf

s^2f= SEE^2[1+1/N+(Xf-Xbar)^2/(n-1)s^2x]

for y predicted need to plug value into linear equation

130
Q

Log-lin model

A

Slope coefficient represents the relative change in the dependent variable for an absolute change in the independent variable

131
Q

Lin-log model

A

Slope coefficient gives the absolute change in the dependent variable for a relative change in the independent variable

132
Q

Log-log (double-log) model

A

Slope coefficient gives the relative change in the dependent variable for a relative change in the independent variable and is useful for calculating elasticities

133
Q

hedged portfolio using
long underlying and short calls
to find c0

A

V0 = hS0 - c0
V1 +/- = hS1+/- -c1+/-
because we are hedged
V1+ = V1-
h (hedge ratio) = (c1+ - c1-) / (S1+ - S1-)
return = V1+ / V0 = V1- / V0 = 1+ R

hS0 - c0 = V1+ / (1+R)

refers to any descriptive measure of a population characteristic

Q

quintiles
1st
2nd
3rd
4th
5th

A

1st = 1/5
2nd = 2/5 etc

e.g. want 3rd quintile
4/5*(n+1) and n 10 then = 8.8
so answer be/teen postion 8 and 9
set numbers into ascending order
and interpolate e.g.
X8 + (8.8 − 8) × (X9 − X8)

Q

When working backward from the nodes on a binomial tree diagram, the analyst is most likely attempting to calculate:

A

In a tree diagram, a problem is worked backward to formulate an expected value as of today

138
Q

when the test statistic > critical statistic

A

reject H0
> the correl coefficient is statistically significant

remember : when two -tailed test the p-value / 2

141
Q

a test of independence using a nonparametric test statistic that is chi-square distributed

A

χ2=∑^m_i=(Oij−Eij)^2/Eij

> m = the number of cells in the table, which is the number of groups in the first class multiplied by the number of groups in the second class;
Oij = the number of observations in each cell of row i and column j (i.e., observed frequency); and
Eij = the expected number of observations in each cell of row i and column j, assuming independence (i.e., expected frequency).
(r − 1)(c − 1) degrees of freedom, where r is the number of rows and c is the number of columns

Eij=(Total row i)×(Total column j)/ Overall total

Standardized residual=Oij−Eij/ √ Eij

142
Q

ML model that has been overfitted is not able

A

to accurately predict outcomes using a different dataset and might be too complex
‘overtrained’
> treating true parameters as if they are noise is most likely a result of underfitting the mode
