This paper introduces a new non-parametric approach to integrate empirical probability functions of the real return for different investment horizons for five portfolios of Swedish stocks and bonds. In our setting the problem reduces to generating new generalizations from an empirical Markov...

In this paper we study stochastic processes which enable monitoring the possible changes of probability distributions over time. These so-called monitoring processes are bivariate functions of time and position at the measurement scale, and in particular be used to test the null hypothesis of no...

This note proposes a tool to investigate and demonstrate the adequacy of the central limit theorem in small samples. The suggested testing procedure provides a method to investigate if the mean estimator is approximately normally distributed, given data and sample size at hand. This is important...

We consider four orthant stochastic orderings between random vectors X and Y that have finitely discrete probability distributions in IRk. For each of the orderings conditions have been developed that are necessary and sufficient for dominance of Y over X. We present an algorithm that checks...

The assumption of conditional symmetry is often invoked to validate adaptive estimation and consistent estimation of ARCH/GARCH models by quasi maximum likelihood. Imposing conditional symmetry can increase the efficiency of bootstraps if the symmetry assumption is valid. This paper proposes a...
