On the construction of optimal payoffs

L Rüschendorf, S Vanduffel - Decisions in Economics and Finance, 2020 - Springer
In the framework of continuous-time market models with specified pricing density, optimal
payoffs under increasing law-invariant preferences are known to be anti-monotonic with the …

Stochastic resonance in binary composite hypothesis-testing problems in the Neyman–Pearson framework

S Bayram, S Gezici - Digital Signal Processing, 2012 - Elsevier
Performance of some suboptimal detectors can be enhanced by adding independent noise
to their inputs via the stochastic resonance (SR) effect. In this paper, the effects of SR are …

On the restricted Neyman–Pearson approach for composite hypothesis-testing in presence of prior distribution uncertainty

S Bayram, S Gezici - IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 2011 - ieeexplore.ieee.org
The restricted Neyman-Pearson (NP) approach is studied for composite hypothesis-testing
problems in the presence of uncertainty in the prior probability distribution under the …

Optimal and maximin procedures for multiple testing problems

S Rosset, R Heller, A Painsky… - Journal of the Royal …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
Multiple testing problems (MTPs) are a staple of modern statistical analysis. The
fundamental objective of MTPs is to reject as many false null hypotheses as possible (that is …

Outperformance portfolio optimization via the equivalence of pure and randomized hypothesis testing

T Leung, Q Song, J Yang - Finance and Stochastics, 2013 - Springer
We study the portfolio optimization problem of maximizing the outperformance probability
over a random benchmark through dynamic trading with a fixed initial capital. Under a …

Analogue of the Neyman--Pearson Lemma for Several Simple Hypotheses

MP Savelov - Theory of Probability & Its Applications, 2024 - SIAM
We consider the following problem on testing r simple hypotheses: in the set K^α of tests
with weighed sum of errors of the i th kind, 1≤i≤k, at most α, it is required to single out a …

[HTML][HTML] Approximation of CVaR minimization for hedging under exponential-Lévy models

M Deaconu, A Lejay, K Salhi - Journal of Computational and Applied …, 2017 - Elsevier
In this paper, we study the hedging problem based on the CVaR in incomplete markets. As
the superhedging is quite expensive in terms of initial capital, we construct a self-financing …

A characterization of maximin tests for two composite hypotheses

A Gushchin - Mathematical Methods of Statistics, 2015 - Springer
We consider the problem of testing two composite hypotheses in the minimax setting. To find
maximin tests, we propose a new dual optimization problem which has a solution under a …

Applications of the likelihood theory in finance: modelling and pricing

A Janssen, M Tietje - International Statistical Review, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
This paper discusses the connection between mathematical finance and statistical
modelling which turns out to be more than a formal mathematical correspondence. We like …
