With the advent of Big Data, managing large-scale portfolios of thousands of securities is one of the most challenging tasks in the asset management industry. This study uses an evolutionary multi objective technique to solve large-scale portfolio optimisation problems with both long-term listed...

Elasticity is a very popular concept in economics and physics, recently exported and reinterpreted in the statistical field, where it has given form to the so-called elasticity function. This function has proved to be a very useful tool for quantifying and evaluating risks, with applications in...

There has been much work on the approximation of independent or dependent random variables. But we are not aware of any work giving exact results for the approximation of the sum of randomly weighted random variables. In this paper, we derive results for the randomly weighted sum of dependent...

This paper studies random vectors X featuring symmetric distributions in that i) the order of the random variables in X does not affect its distribution, or ii) the distribution of X is symmetric at zero. We derive a number of characterization results for such random vectors, thereby connecting...

Feature selection becomes a prominent method in the big data era. The logistic regression model is a wrapper method that provides better classification or prediction accuracy but it is computationally expensive. In this study, we propose the random subspace logistic regression where features are...
