Portfolio theories

Universal portfolio algorithm

The universal portfolio algorithm is a portfolio selection algorithm from the field of machine learning and information theory. The algorithm learns adaptively from historical data and maximizes the log-optimal growth rate in the long run. It was introduced by the late Stanford University information theorist Thomas M. Cover. The algorithm rebalances the portfolio at the beginning of each trading period. At the beginning of the first trading period it starts with a naive diversification. In the following trading periods the portfolio composition depends on the historical total return of all possible constant-rebalanced portfolios. (Wikipedia).

Nathanael Fijalkow: Understanding and extending the quasipolynomial time algorithms for parity games

This talk is about the model of two-player (deterministic) parity games, their extensions mean payoff games, and related game models. The dust has settled since the 2017 breakthrough—a quasipolynomial time algorithm for solving parity games. A lot of work has gone since then into understan

What is a Set Complement?

What is the complement of a set? Sets in mathematics are very cool, and one of my favorite thins in set theory is the complement and the universal set. In this video we will define complement in set theory, and in order to do so you will also need to know the meaning of universal set. I go

Cedric Koh: Beyond value iteration for parity games: strategy iteration with universal trees

Parity games have witnessed several new quasi-polynomial algorithms since the breakthrough result of Calude et al. (2017). The central combinatorial object underlying these approaches is a universal tree, as identified by Czerwi´nski et al. (2019). By providing a quasi-polynomial lower bou

A New Balancing Method for Solving Parametric Max Flow

March 14, 2007 lecture by Bin Zhang for the Stanford University Computer Systems Colloquium (EE 380). A new, simple and fast algorithm finds a sequence of nested minimum cuts of a bipartite parametric flow network. Instead of working with the original parametric flow-network, the new meth

Portfolio Optimization API - Algorithmic Trading with Python and Quantopian p. 12

Once we've got combined alphas that we're happy with, we need to build a trading strategy. A major part of a trading strategy is figuring out how to best build your portfolio from the alphas, paying attention to various constraints like leverage, sector bias...etc. In this example, we use

Jana Cslovjecsek: Efficient algorithms for multistage stochastic integer programming using proximity

We consider the problem of solving integer programs of the form min {c^T x : Ax = b; x geq 0}, where A is a multistage stochastic matrix. We give an algorithm that solves this problem in fixed-parameter time f(d; ||A||_infty) n log^O(2d) n, where f is a computable function, d is the treed
