In vielen Anwendungen ist es notwendig, die stochastische Schwankungen der maximalen Abweichungen der nichtparametrischen Schätzer von Quantil zu wissen, zB um die verschiedene parametrische Modelle zu überprüfen. Einheitliche Konfidenzbänder sind daher für nichtparametrische Quantil...

Let (X1, Y1), . . ., (Xn, Yn) be i.i.d. rvs and let l(x) be the unknown p-quantile regression curve of Y on X. A quantile-smoother ln(x) is a localised, nonlinear estimator of l(x). The strong uniform consistency rate is established under general conditions. In many applications it is necessary...

This paper introduces a behavioural model and an algorithm that allow define classes of investors and draw the size each of them from financial data. The nonparametric pricing kernel estimated from stocks and options quotes allows to derive an estimate of the market utility. At the micro level...

Diese Dissertation entwickelt neue lokal adaptive Methoden zur Schaetzung und Vorhersage von Zeitreihendaten. Diese Methoden sind fuer die Volatilitaetsschaetzung von Finanzmarktrenditen und fuer Regressions- und Autoregressionsprobleme konstruiert worden. Die vorgeschlagenen Ansaetze werden als...

Weather derivatives (WD) are different from most financial derivatives because the underlying weather cannot be traded and therefore cannot be replicated by other financial instruments. The market price of risk (MPR) is an important parameter of the associated equivalent martingale measures used...

The cryptocurrency (CC) market is volatile, non-stationary and non-continuous. This poses unique challenges for pricing and hedging CC options. We study the hedge behaviour and effectiveness for a wide range of models. First, we calibrate market data to SVI-implied volatility surfaces to price...

The cryptocurrency (CC) market is volatile, non-stationary and non-continuous. Together with liquid derivatives markets, this poses a unique opportunity to study risk management, especially the hedging of options, in a turbulent market. We study the hedge behaviour and effectiveness for the...
