Quadratic minimisation problems in statistics
We consider the problem minx(x−t)′A(x−t) subject to x′Bx+2b′x = k where A is positive definite or positive semidefinite. Commonly occurring statistical variants of this problem are discussed within the framework of a general unifying methodology. These include non-trivial considerations that arise when (i) A and/or B are not of full rank and (ii) t takes special forms (especially t = 0 which, u...
متن کاملApplications of quadratic D-forms to generalized quadratic forms
In this paper, we study generalized quadratic forms over a division algebra with involution of the first kind in characteristic two. For this, we associate to every generalized quadratic from a quadratic form on its underlying vector space. It is shown that this form determines the isotropy behavior and the isometry class of generalized quadratic forms.
متن کاملAn Algorithm for Quadratic Programming with Applications in Statistics
Problems involving estimation and inference under linear inequality constraints arise often in statistical modeling. In this paper we propose an algorithm to solve the quadratic programming problem of minimizing ψ(θ) = θ′Qθ−2c′θ for positive-definite Q, where θ is constrained to be in a closed polyhedral convex cone C = {θ : Aθ ≥ d}, and the m×n matrix A is not necessarily full row-rank. The th...
متن کاملShortfall Risk Minimisation vs. Symmetric (Quadratic) Hedging
The seller of a contingent claim H can always find a self-financing investment strategy that (super)hedges the claim H. When the seller wants to endow an initial capital x less than the one required to get perfect (super)hedging, the shortfall risk minimisation problem arises in a natural way. The aim is to find the strategy that minimises E{`([H(ST )−V x,φ T ])} (shortfall risk), where V x,φ t...
متن کاملPattern Minimisation in Cutting Stock Problems
In the cutting stock pattern minimisation problem, we wish to satisfy demand for various customer reels by cutting as few as possible jumbo reels, and further to minimise the number of distinct cutting patterns used. We focus on the special case in which any two customer reels t into a jumbo, but no three do: this case is of interest partly because it is the simplest case that is not trivial, a...
