Mean and covariance matrix adaptive estimation for a weakly stationary process. Application in stochastic optimization
نویسنده
چکیده
We introduce an adaptive algorithm to estimate the uncertain parameter of a stochastic optimization problem. The procedure estimates the one-step-ahead means, variances and covariances of a random process in a distribution-free and multidimensional framework when these means, variances and covariances are slowly varying on a given past interval. The quality of the approximate problem obtained when employing our estimation of the uncertain parameter is controlled in function of the number of components of the process and of the length of the largest past interval where the means, variances and covariances slowly vary. The procedure is finally applied to a portfolio selection model.

Confidence Interval Estimation of the Mean of Stationary Stochastic Processes: a Comparison of Batch Means and Weighted Batch Means Approach (TECHNICAL NOTE)
Suppose that we have one run of n observations of a stochastic process by means of computer simulation and would like to construct a condifence interval for the steady-state mean of the process. Seeking for independent observations, so that the classical statistical methods could be applied, we can divide the n observations into k batches of length m (n= k.m) or alternatively, transform the cor...
متن کاملEstimation of mean and covariance of stochastic multi-class OD demands from classified traffic counts
This paper proposes a new model to estimate the mean and covariance of stochastic multi-class (multiple vehicle classes) origindestination (OD) demands from hourly classified traffic counts throughout the whole year. It is usually assumed in the conventional OD demand estimation models that the OD demand by vehicle class is deterministic. Little attention is given on the estimation of the stati...

A stochastic process X is strongly stationary if its fdds are invariant under time shifts, that is, for any (finite) n, for any t0 and for all t1, ..., tn ∈ T , (Xt1 , ..., Xtn) and (Xt1+t0 , ..., Xtn+t0) have the same distribution. A stochastic process X is weakly stationary if its mean function is constant and its covariance function is invariant under time shifts. That is, for all t ∈ T , E(...
متن کاملA New Modified Particle Filter With Application in Target Tracking
The particle filter (PF) is a novel technique that has sufficiently good estimation results for the nonlinear/non-Gaussian systems. However, PF is inconsistent that caused mainly by loss of particle diversity in resampling step and unknown a priori knowledge of the noise statistics. This paper introduces a new modified particle filter called adaptive unscented particle filter (AUPF) to overcome th...
متن کاملThe Wigner Distribution of Gaussian Weakly Harmonizable Stochastic Processes
The paper treats theWigner distribution of scalar-valued stochastic processes defined on R. We show that if the process is Gaussian and weakly harmonizable then a stochastic Wigner distribution is well defined. The special case of stationary processes is studied, in which case the Wigner distribution is weakly stationary in the time variable and the variance is equal to the deterministic Wigner...
