Evaluating the Performance of Forecasting Models for Portfolio Allocation Purposes with Generalized GRACH Method
Portfolio theory assumes that investors accept risk. This means thatin the equal rate of return on the two assets, the assets were chosenthat have a lower risk level. Modern portfolio theory is accepted byinvestors who believe that they are not cope with the market. Sothey keep many different types of securities in order to access theoptimum efficiency rate that is close to the rate of return o...
متن کاملDiscrete choice models with multiplicative error terms
We propose a multiplicative speci cation of a discrete choice model that renders choice probabilities independent of the scale of the utility. The scale can thus be random with unspeci ed distribution. The model mostly outperforms the classical additive formulation over a range of stated choice data sets. In some cases, the improvement in likelihood is greater than that obtained from adding obs...
متن کاملNonparametric Discrete Choice Models with Unobserved Heterogeneity
In this research, we provide a new method to estimate discrete choice models with unobserved heterogeneity that can be used with either cross-sectional or panel data. The method imposes nonparametric assumptions on the systematic subutility functions and on the distributions of the unobservable random vectors and the heterogeneity parameter. The estimators are computationally feasible and stron...
متن کاملPrediction-driven approaches to discrete choice models with application to forecasting car type demand
Models that can predict consumer choices are essential technical support for decision makers in many contexts. The focus of this thesis is to address prediction problems in discrete choice models and to develop methods to increase the predictive power of these models with application to car type choice. In this thesis we challenge the common practice of prediction that is using statistical infe...
متن کاملDiscrete Choice Models With Multiple Unobserved Choice Characteristics
Since the pioneering work by Daniel McFadden in the 1970s and 1980s (McFadden, 1973, 1981, 1982, 1984) discrete (multinomial) response models based on utility maximization have become an important tool of empirical researchers. A key feature of these models is the specification of utilities associated with the alternatives in terms of choice characteristics and individual preferences. Various g...
