We examine the problem of finding sparse, mean reverting portfolios based on multivariate historical time series. After mapping optimal portfolio selection into a generalized eigenvalue problem, two different heuristic algorithms are referenced for finding the solution in a subspace which...

In this paper, we study the problem of finding sparse, mean reverting portfolios in multivariate time series. This can be applied to developing profitable convergence trading strategies by identifying portfolios which can be traded advantageously when their prices differ from their identified...

In this paper we investigate trading with optimal mean reverting portfolios subject to cardinality constraints. First, we identify the parameters of the underlying VAR(1) model of asset prices and then the quantities of the corresponding Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) process are estimated by pattern...

We study the problem of finding sparse, mean reverting portfolios based on multivariate historical time series. After mapping the optimal portfolio selection problem into a generalized eigenvalue problem, we propose a new optimization approach based on the use of simulated annealing. This new...
