Worcester Polytechnic Institute Simulated Returns

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Inverse Transform Methods (Continuous) Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of the Normal Distribution

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Inverse Transform Methods (Continuous) Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of the Normal Distribution Begin with a uniform random number on (0,1) and use the Inverse Transform method to develop a random number that is normally distributed.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of the Normal Distribution Inverse Transform Methods (Continuous) µ= F -1 (0.8)=9 This is the random number in the Normal Distribution resulting from a uniform random number of 0.80

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Definition: A method of estimating the parameters of a model given data. ─ In other words, finding the values of the parameter set with the highest probability of resulting in the observations. Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation)

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation)

Worcester Polytechnic Institute The set up for our MLE: Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation)

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation) Now we begin the recursion… Currently in Regime 1Currently in Regime 2 Previously in R1Previously in R2Previously in R1Previously in R2

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Probability of being in the previous regime ─ Regime 1’s contribution to the pdf Regime switching probability Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation)

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Multiply by the normal pdf… Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation)

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Now in Regime 1, Previously in Regime 2 Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation)

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Now in Regime 2, Previously in Regime 1 Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation)

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Now in Regime 2, Previously in Regime 2 Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation)

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation) Estimated pdf values

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation) Natural log of estimated pdf values

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Calibration (Maximum Likelihood Estimation) Parameters which we solved for using Excel’s built-in “Solver” Metric we maximized to by solving for the parameters

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Where Next?

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Covariance Matrix

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Cholesky Decomposition Theorem: every symmetric positive definite matrix can be decomposed into a product of a unique lower triangular matrix (the Cholesky factor) and its transpose.

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Cholesky Example A = Decompose the matrix to get L and L T L =and L T =

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Cholesky Example A = Decompose the matrix to get L and L T L =and L T = X = Stock 1Stock

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Cholesky Example A = Decompose the matrix to get L and L T L =and L T = Covariance Matrix X =  Stock 1Stock Stock 1Stock

Worcester Polytechnic Institute The ESG A 1 =L 1 T = A 2 =L 2 T = X OR = RegimeStock 1Stock RegimeStock 1Stock

Worcester Polytechnic Institute The ESG A 1 =L 1 T = A 2 =L 2 T = X OR = RegimeStock 1Stock RegimeStock 1Stock

Worcester Polytechnic Institute The ESG A 1 =L 1 T = A 2 =L 2 T = X OR = RegimeStock 1Stock RegimeStock 1Stock

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Our ESG Uses 3 regimes instead of 2 ─ 3 rd regime represents an economic crash and occurs rarely ─ µ 3, σ 3, third Covariance Matrix Uses 10 Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) ─ ETFs track groups of stocks Outputs Daily Returns

Worcester Polytechnic Institute Recommendations Create a user-friendly interface Alternative platforms ─ Matlab would allow implementation on the WPI supercomputer Output results to a.txt file ─ Avoids Excel’s row limitations Introduce an automatic results checker More experimentation with regime 3 Improve run time

Thank you for listening! Questions?
