This note provides a neat and enjoyable expansion and application of the magnificent Ordentlich-Cover theory of "universal portfolios". I generalize Cover's benchmark of the best constant-rebalanced portfolio (or 1-linear trading strategy) in hindsight by considering the best bilinear trading...

This paper derives a robust online equity trading algorithm that achieves the greatest possible percentage of the final wealth of the best pairs rebalancing rule in hindsight. A pairs rebalancing rule chooses some pair of stocks in the market and then perpetually executes rebalancing trades so...

The term "outlier" is probably one of the vaguest and most imprecise ones in statistical science. There is no formal definition of an outlier, which all statisticians agree upon. However, for a univariate normal null-model Davies and Gather ([12] [13]) have introduced the concept of a-outliers...

Given that most data used for production studies have not been accumulated for such purposes, it is important that the quantitative tools for messy data which can affect the accuracy of computed technical efficiency measures be found. In this study, high breakdown robust methods are used in...
