We give an explicit algorithm and source code for combining alpha streams via bounded regression. In practical applications, typically, there is insufficient history to compute a sample covariance matrix (SCM) for a large number of alphas. To compute alpha allocation weights, one then resorts to...

According to no-arbitrage, risk-adjusted returns should be unpredictable. Using several prominent factor models and a large cross-section of anomalies, we find that past pricing errors predict future risk-adjusted anomaly returns. We show that past pricing errors can be interpreted as deviations...
