Course objectives
This series of lectures aims to introduce some “nonparametric statistics” for Brownian Paths, Generalized Lehmann’s Alternatives (Transformation models) and statistical data analysis for financial data.
Syllabus
  • [1] (Probability / Mathematical Finance) Some “nonparametric statistics” for Brownian Paths ( “empirical distribution function of an observed path”, “order statistics of an observed path (this was originally called alpha-quantiles and now called Brownian quantiles) ”, “rank statistics in an observed path”) which have been used for designing exotic derivatives in the literatures of mathematical finance and financial engineering. Some examples of exotic options will be shown as well as other possibilities for applications.
  • [2] (Classical Mathematical Statistics./Nonparametrics.) Generalized Lehmann’s Alternatives (Transformation models) in the theory of a classical mathematical statistics in one-sample problem. An on-going trial for a simple linear regression will be discussed as well. We define estimates for parameters in the model derived from rank statistics and discuss asymptotically normality.
  • [3] (statistical data analysis / financial data)
  • (a) Decomposition of swap interest data in Japan.
  • (b) Looking into auto-regressive dependence of individual hedge fund return data.
