Full textFinancial assets returns being randomly distributed, we study the properties of their distribution and assess the impact it has on portfolio management. First, we study precisely the distributional properties of stock returns, and then we extend this analysis by studying the sampling properties of the estimators of semi-moments. Using these semi-moments, we develop and study a test of normality very well adapted to financial analysis. We use this test to evaluate the speed of convergence of the distribution of returns to normality as the horizon increases. After that, we evaluate the impact non-normality has on the empirical performances of the CAPM, with the help of semi-comoments among other tools. Eventually, we review the different existing methods used to extend the CAPM to non Gaussian settings, and introduce a portfolio selection methodology relying on the distances between distributions. To this end, we use Gram-Charlier expansions to model the distribution of the returns on a portfolio, conditionally to the weights of the stocks composing this portfolio

Full textThis dissertation is part of an ongoing researches looking for an adequate model that apprehend the behavior of financial asset returns. Through this research, we propose to analyze the relevance of risk measures that take into account the non-normality in the asset pricing and portfolio allocation models on the French market. This dissertation is comprised of three articles. The first one proposes to revisit the asset pricing model taking into account the higher-order moments in a downside framework. The results indicate that the downside higher order co-moments are relevant in explaining the cross sectional variations of returns. The second paper examines the relation between expected returns and the VaR or CVaR. A cross sectional analysis provides evidence that VaR is superior measure of risk when compared to the CVaR. We find also that the normal estimation approach gives better results than the approach based on the expansion of Cornish-Fisher (1937). Both results contradict the theoretical predictions but we proved that they are inherent to the French market. In the third paper, we review the mean-CVaR model in a dynamic framework and we take into account the transaction costs. The results indicate that the asset allocation model that takes into account the non-normality can improve the performance of the portfolio comparing to the mean-variance model, in terms of the average return and the return-to CVaR ratio. Through these three studies, we think that it is possible to modify the risk management framework to apprehend in a better way the risk of loss associated to the non-normality problem
Cleon, Louis-Marie. "Stabilité linéaire et non linéaire des schémas de Boltzmann sur réseau simulant des écoulements visqueux compressibles." Thesis, Paris 6, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014PA066183/document.
Full textThe stability study of differential systems derived from the Navier- Stokes equations consists in analysing the response of the planar linearized system from a disturbance on a flat wave. It cannot account for all possible mechanisms of nonlinear instability. Such non-linear stability analyses were discussed for finite difference of the scalar non-viscous Burger equation. They are based on the analysis in resonant waves, considering a set of waves that form a closed group for the discretized equation. An important conclusion of this work is that some unstable nonlinear mechanisms exist that are beyond the linear analysis, as the focusing mechanism studied and explained using the methods of side band, introduced to initiate instabilities. This approach of resonant waves is extended to non-linear stability analysis for LBM (Lattice Boltzmann Method) methods. We report for the first time a vector equation instead of the scalar Burgers equation, because the LBM method considers a distribution function by discrete speeds. The principle of resonant waves to lattice Boltzmann equations for one-dimensional flow in a compressible and isothermal D1Q3 scheme gives instability maps, in the case of one or more resonant modes , highly dependent upon the initial conditions. The phenomenon of focus has not been obtained in the LBM formulation. Transient growth due to non-normality of operators may exist. They are calculated by a Lagrangian optimization method combined with LBM equations. The principle of resonant waves is extended to a 2D model. We show that the instabilities become dominant

Full textIn this thesis, we consider the fixed design regression model with repeated measurements, where the errors form a process with general autocovariance function, i.e. a second order process (stationary or nonstationary), with a non-differentiable covariance function along the diagonal. We are interested, among other problems, in the nonparametric estimation of the regression function of this model.We first consider the well-known kernel regression estimator proposed by Gasser and Müller. We study its asymptotic performance when the number of experimental units and the number of observations tend to infinity. For a regular sequence of designs, we improve the higher rates of convergence of the variance and the bias. We also prove the asymptotic normality of this estimator in the case of correlated errors.Second, we propose a new kernel estimator of the regression function based on a projection property. This estimator is constructed through the autocovariance function of the errors, and a specific function belonging to the Reproducing Kernel Hilbert Space (RKHS) associated to the autocovariance function. We study its asymptotic performance using the RKHS properties. These properties allow to obtain the optimal convergence rate of the variance. We also prove its asymptotic normality. We show that this new estimator has a smaller asymptotic variance then the one of Gasser and Müller. A simulation study is conducted to confirm this theoretical result.Third, we propose a new kernel estimator for the regression function. This estimator is constructed through the trapezoidal numerical approximation of the kernel regression estimator based on continuous observations. We study its asymptotic performance, and we prove its asymptotic normality. Moreover, this estimator allow to obtain the asymptotic optimal sampling design for the estimation of the regression function. We run a simulation study to test the performance of the proposed estimator in a finite sample set, where we see its good performance, in terms of Integrated Mean Squared Error (IMSE). In addition, we show the reduction of the IMSE using the optimal sampling design instead of the uniform design in a finite sample set.Finally, we consider an application of the regression function estimation in pharmacokinetics problems. We propose to use the nonparametric kernel methods, for the concentration-time curve estimation, instead of the classical parametric ones. We prove its good performance via simulation study and real data analysis. We also investigate the problem of estimating the Area Under the concentration Curve (AUC), where we introduce a new kernel estimator, obtained by the integration of the regression function estimator. We prove, using a simulation study, that the proposed estimators outperform the classical one in terms of Mean Squared Error. The crucial problem of finding the optimal sampling design for the AUC estimation is investigated using the Generalized Simulating Annealing algorithm

Full textThis thesis is devoted to semiparametric period estimation of unknown periodic functions in various statistical models as well as the construction of nonparametric tests to detect a periodic signal in the midst of noise. In chapter 1, we propose asymptotically optimal estimators of the period of an unknown periodic function and of the periods of two periodic functions from their sum corrupted by Gaussian white noise. In chapter 2, we propose a practical implementation of the period estimation method based on the ideas developed in the first chapter that we test on simulated laser vlbrometry signals. This algorithm is used in chapter 3 on real musical data. In chapter 4, we propose an estimator of the period when the observations are those of a particular almost periodic function corrupted by Gaussian white noise as well as a practical implementation of the method. This algorithm has also been tested on laser vibrometry data. In chapter 5, we propose a test in order to detect periodic functions in the midst of noise when the period of the function and the variance of noise are unknown. It is proved to be adaptive in the minimax sense and has been tested on laser vibrometry data
Khalil, Nathalie. "Conditions d'optimalité pour des problèmes en contrôle optimal et applications." Thesis, Brest, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017BRES0095/document.
Full textThe project of this thesis is twofold. The first concerns the extension of previous results on necessary optimality conditions for state constrained problems in optimal control and in calculus of variations. The second aim consists in working along two new research lines: derive viability results for a class of control systems with state constraints in which ‘standard inward pointing conditions’ are violated; and establish necessary optimality conditions for average cost minimization problems possibly perturbed by unknown parameters.In the first part, we examine necessary optimality conditions which play an important role in finding candidates to be optimal solutions among all admissible solutions. However, in dynamic optimization problems with state constraints, some pathological situations might arise. For instance, it might occur that the multiplier associated with the objective function (to minimize) vanishes. In this case, the objective function to minimize does not intervene in first order necessary conditions: this is referred to as the abnormal case. A worse phenomenon, called the degenerate case shows that in some circumstances the set of admissible trajectories coincides with the set of candidates to be minimizers. Therefore the necessary conditions give no information on the possible minimizers.To overcome these difficulties, new additional hypotheses have to be imposed, known as constraint qualifications. We investigate these two issues (normality and non-degeneracy) for optimal control problems involving state constraints and dynamics expressed as a differential inclusion, when the minimizer has its left end-point in a region where the state constraint set in nonsmooth. We prove that under an additional information involving mainly the Clarke tangent cone, necessary conditions in the form of the Extended Euler-Lagrange condition are derived in the normal and non-degenerate form for two different classes of state constrained optimal control problems. Application of the normality result is shown also for the calculus of variations problem subject to a state constraint.In the second part of the thesis, we consider first a class of state constrained control systems for which standard ‘first order’ constraint qualifications are not satisfied, but a higher (second) order constraint qualification is satisfied. We propose a new construction for feasible trajectories (a viability result) and we investigate examples (such as the Brockett nonholonomic integrator) providing in addition a non-linear stimate result. The other topic of the second part of the thesis concerns the study of a class of optimal control problems in which uncertainties appear in the data in terms of unknown parameters. Taking into consideration an average cost criterion, a crucial issue is clearly to be able to characterize optimal controls independently of the unknown parameter action: this allows to find a sort of ‘best compromise’ among all the possible realizations of the control system as the parameter varies. For this type of problems, we derive necessary optimality conditions in the form of Maximum Principle (possibly nonsmooth)

Full textThis thesis deals with the study of asymptotic properties of e kernel (Parzen-Rosenblatt) density estimate under associated and censored model. In this setting, we first recall with details the existing results, studied in both i.i.d. and strong mixing condition (α-mixing) cases. Under mild standard conditions, it is established that the strong uniform almost sure convergence rate, is optimal. In the part dedicated to the results of this thesis, two main and original stated results are presented : the first result concerns the strong uniform consistency rate of the studied estimator under association hypothesis. The main tool having permitted to achieve the optimal speed, is the adaptation of the Theorem due to Doukhan and Neumann (2007), in studying the term of fluctuations (random part) of the gap between the considered estimator and the studied parameter (density). As an application, the almost sure convergence of the kernel mode estimator is established. The stated results have been accepted for publication in Communications in Statistics-Theory & Methods ; The second result establishes the asymptotic normality of the estimator studied under the same model and then, constitute an extension to the censored case, the result stated by Roussas (2000). This result is submitted for publication

Full textIn this work, we address the problem of estimating the mode and conditional mode functions, for independent and dependent data, under random censorship. Firstly, we consider an independent and identically distributed (iid) sequence random variables (rvs) {T_i , i [equal to or higher than]1}, with density f. This sequence is right-censored by another iid sequence of rvs {Ci , i[equal to or higher than]1} which is supposed to be independent of {T_i , i [equal to or higher than]1}. We are interested in the regression problem of T given a covariable X. We state convergence and asymptomatic normality of Kernel-based estimators of conditional density and mode. Using the “plug-in” method for the unknown parameters, confidence intervals are gicen. Also simulations are drawn. In a second step we deal with the simple mode, given by par θ = arg max_{t. IR} f (t). Here, the sequence {T_i , i [equal to or higher than]1} is supposed to be stationary and strongly mixing whereas the {Ci , i[equal to or higher than]1} are iid. We build a mode estimator (based on a density kernel estimator) for which we state the almost sure consistency. Finally, we extend the conditional mode consistency results to the case where the {T_i , i [equal to or higher than]1} are strongly mixing

Full textIn this thesis, we are interested in developing robust and efficient methods in the nonparametric estimation of the regression function. The model considered here is the right-hand randomly censored model which is the most used in different practical fields. First, we propose a new estimator of the regression function by the local linear method. We study its almost uniform convergence with rate. We improve the order of the bias term. Finally, we compare its performance with that of the classical kernel regression estimator using simulations. In the second step, we consider the regression function estimator, based on theminimization of the mean relative square error (called : relative regression estimator). We establish the uniform almost sure consistency with rate of the estimator defined for independent and identically distributed observations. We prove its asymptotic normality and give the explicit expression of the variance term. We conduct a simulation study to confirm our theoretical results. Finally, we have applied our estimator on real data. Then, we study the almost sure uniform convergence (on a compact set) with rate of the relative regression estimator for observations that are subject to a dependency structure of α-mixing type. A simulation study shows the good behaviour of the studied estimator. Predictions on generated data are carried out to illustrate the robustness of our estimator. Finally, we establish the asymptotic normality of the relative regression function estimator for α-mixing data. We construct the confidence intervals and perform a simulation study to validate our theoretical results. In addition to the analysis of the censored data, the common thread of this modest contribution is the proposal of two alternative prediction methods to classical regression. The first approach corrects the border effects created by classical kernel estimators and reduces the bias term. While the second is more robust and less affected by the presence of outliers in the sample

Full textThis thesis is divided in four sections with an additionnal presentation. In the first section, We expose the essential mathematics skills for the comprehension of the next sections. In the second section, we adress the problem of local non parametric with functional inputs. First, we propose an estimator of the unknown regression function. The construction of this estimator is related to the resolution of a linear inverse problem. Using a classical method of decomposition, we establish a bound for the mean square error (MSE). This bound depends on the small ball probability of the regressor which is assumed to belong to the class of Gamma varying functions. In the third section, we take again the work done in the preceding section by being situated in the frame of data belonging to a semi-normed space with infinite dimension. We establish bound for the MSE of the regression operator. This MSE can be seen as a function of the small ball probability function. In the last section, we interest to the estimation of the auxiliary function. Then, we establish the convergence in mean square and the asymptotic normality of the estimator. At last, by simulations, we study the bahavour of this estimator in a neighborhood of zero

Full textIn this thesis, we study some asymptotic properties of conditional functional parameters in nonparametric statistics setting, when the explanatory variable takes its values in infinite dimension space. In this nonparametric setting, we consider the estimators of the usual functional parameters, as the conditional law, the conditional probability density, the conditional quantile. We are essentially interested in the problem of forecasting in the nonparametric conditional models, when the data are functional random variables. Firstly, we propose an estimator of the conditional quantile and we establish its uniform strong convergence with rates over a compact subset. To follow the convention in biomedical studies, we consider an identically distributed sequence {Ti, i ≥ 1}, here density f, right censored by a random {Ci, i ≥ 1} also assumed independent identically distributed and independent of {Ti, i ≥ 1}. Our study focuses on dependent data and the covariate X takes values in an infinite space dimension. In a second step we establish the asymptotic normality of the kernel estimator of the conditional quantile, under α-mixing assumption and on the concentration properties on small balls of the probability measure of the functional regressors. Many applications in some particular cases have been also given

Full textIn this thesis, we consider the usual linear regression model in the case where the error process is assumed strictly stationary.We use a result from Hannan (1973) who proved a Central Limit Theorem for the usual least squares estimator under general conditions on the design and on the error process. Whatever the design and the error process satisfying Hannan’s conditions, we define an estimator of the asymptotic covariance matrix of the least squares estimator and we prove its consistency under very mild conditions. Then we show how to modify the usual tests on the parameter of the linear model in this dependent context. We propose various methods to estimate the covariance matrix in order to correct the type I error rate of the tests. The R package slm that we have developed contains all of these statistical methods. The procedures are evaluated through different sets of simulations and two particular examples of datasets are studied. Finally, in the last chapter, we propose a non-parametric method by penalization to estimate the regression function in the case where the errors are Gaussian and correlated

In the first part, we establish some quenched central limit theorems for random fields satisfying a projective condition à la Hannan (1973). Functional versions of these theorems are also considered. In the second part, we prove the asymptotic normality of kernel density and regression estimators for strongly mixing random fields in the sense of Rosenblatt (1956) and for weakly dependent random fields in the sense of Wu (2005). First, we establish the result for the kernel regression estimator introduced by Elizbar Nadaraya (1964) and Geoffrey Watson (1964). Then, we extend these results to a large class of recursive estimators defined by Peter Hall and Prakash Patil (1994)

Full textQuality Control is a term often used within production and is referring to managing processes so they produce capable products. Within Quality Control, process capability index is a common measure to oversee processes. Safety Region Plots were introduced to do this graphically. In Albing & Vännman (2010) the concept of Safety Region Plots is expanded to incorporate an elliptical shape. The method of Elliptical Safety Region Plots assumes a normally distributed data. In this paper we are looking at the robustness of the Elliptical Safety Region Plots if we can assume a symmetrically, but non-normal, distribution. In the results we can conclude that an adjustment is required for symmetric, but non-normal, data if the method in Albing & Vännman (2010) is going to be used. An eventual adjustment is discussed in discussions. To easily be able to use the Elliptical Safety Region Plots mentioned in Albing & Vännman (2010) we have developed a program in RExcel.

Full textThe framework of this PhD dissertation is the conditional mean count time seriesmodels. We propose the Poisson quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (PQMLE) for the conditional mean parameters. We show that, under quite general regularityconditions, this estimator is consistent and asymptotically normal for a wide classeof count time series models. Since the conditional mean parameters of some modelsare positively constrained, as, for example, in the integer-valued autoregressive (INAR) and in the integer-valued generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (INGARCH), we study the asymptotic distribution of this estimator when the parameter lies at the boundary of the parameter space. We deduce a Waldtype test for the significance of the parameters and another Wald-type test for the constance of the conditional mean. Subsequently, we propose a robust and general goodness-of-fit test for the count time series models. We derive the joint distribution of the PQMLE and of the empirical residual autocovariances. Then, we deduce the asymptotic distribution of the estimated residual autocovariances and also of a portmanteau test. Finally, we propose the PQMLE for estimating, equation-by-equation (EbE), the conditional mean parameters of a multivariate time series of counts. By using slightly different assumptions from those given for PQMLE, we show the consistency and the asymptotic normality of this estimator for a considerable variety of multivariate count time series models

Full textIn this thesis, we investigate nonparametric modeling of spatial extremes. Our resultsare based on the main result of the theory of extreme values, thereby encompass Paretolaws. This framework allows today to extend the study of extreme events in the spatialcase provided if the asymptotic properties of the proposed estimators satisfy the standardconditions of the Extreme Value Theory (EVT) in addition to the local conditions on thedata structure themselves. In the literature, there exists a vast panorama of extreme events models, which are adapted to the structures of the data of interest. However, in the case ofextreme spatial data, except max-stables models, little or almost no models are interestedin non-parametric estimation of the tail index and/or extreme quantiles. Therefore, weextend existing works on estimating the tail index and quantile under independent ortime-dependent data. The specificity of the methods studied resides in the fact that theasymptotic results of the proposed estimators take into account the spatial dependence structure of the relevant data, which is far from trivial. This thesis is then written in thecontext of spatial statistics of extremes. She makes three main contributions.• In the first contribution of this thesis, we propose a new approach of the estimatorof the tail index of a heavy-tailed distribution within the framework of spatial data. This approach relies on the estimator of Hill (1975). The asymptotic properties of the estimator introduced are established when the spatial process is adequately approximated by aspatial M−dependent process, spatial linear causal process or when the process satisfies a strong mixing condition.• In practice, it is often useful to link the variable of interest Y with covariate X. Inthis situation, the tail index depends on the observed value x of the covariate X and theunknown fonction (.) will be called conditional tail index. In most applications, the tailindexof an extreme value is not the main attraction, but it is used to estimate for instance extreme quantiles. The contribution of this chapter is to adapt the estimator of the tail index introduced in the first part in the conditional framework and use it to propose an estimator of conditional extreme quantiles. We examine the models called "fixed design"which corresponds to the situation where the explanatory variable is deterministic. To tackle the covariate, since it is deterministic, we use the window moving approach. Westudy the asymptotic behavior of the estimators proposed and some numerical resultsusing simulated data with the software "R".• In the third part of this thesis, we extend the work of the second part of the framemodels called "random design" for which the data are spatial observations of a pair (Y,X) of real random variables . In this last model, we propose an estimator of heavy tail-indexusing the kernel method to tackle the covariate. We use an estimator of the conditional tail index belonging to the family of the estimators introduced by Goegebeur et al. (2014b)

s modified maximum likelihood estimators (MMLEs) are used. They are explicit functions of sample observations and easy to compute. They are asymptotically equivalent to MLEs and, for small n, are equally efficient. Moreover, MLEs and MMLEs are numerically very close to one another. For calculating MLEs and MMLEs, the functional form of the underlying distribution has to be known. For machine data processing, however, such is not the case. Instead, what is reasonable to assume for machine data processing is that the underlying distribution is a member of a broad class of distributions. Huber assumed that the underlying distribution is long-tailed symmetric and developed the so called M-estimators. It is very desirable for an estimator to be robust and have bounded influence function. M-estimators, however, implicitly censor certain sample observations which most practitioners do not appreciate. Tiku and Surucu suggested a modification to Tiku&rsquo
s MMLEs. The new MMLEs are robust and have bounded influence functions. In fact, these new estimators are overall more efficient than M-estimators for long-tailed symmetric distributions. In this thesis, we have proposed a new modification to MMLEs. The resulting estimators are robust and have bounded influence functions. We have also shown that they can be used not only for long-tailed symmetric distributions but for skew distributions as well. We have used the proposed modification in the context of experimental design and linear regression. We have shown that the resulting estimators and the hypothesis testing procedures based on them are indeed superior to earlier such estimators and tests.

Full textLife data analysis is used in various application fields. Different methods have been proposed for modelling such data. In this thesis, we are interested in two distinct modelisation types, the stratified Cox model with randomly missing strata indicators and the right-censored linear regression model. We propose methods for estimating the parameters and establish the asymptotic properties of the obtained estimators in each of these models. First, we consider a generalization of the Cox model, allowing different groups, named strata, of the population to have distinct baseline intensity functions, whereas the regression parameter is shared by all the strata. In this stratified proportional intensity model, we are interested in the parameters estimation when the strata indicator is missing for some of the population individuals. Nonparametric maximum likelihood estimators are proposed for the model parameters and their consistency and asymptotic normality are established. We show the efficiency of the regression parameter and obtain consistent estimators of its variance. The Expectation-Maximization algorithm is proposed and developed for the evaluation of the estimators of the model parameters. Second, we are interested in the regression linear model when the response data is randomly right-censored. We introduce a new estimator of the regression parameter, which minimizes a Kaplan-Meier-weighted penalized least squares criterion. Results of consistency and asymptotic normality are obtained and a simulation study is conducted in order to investigate the small sample properties of this LASSO-type estimator. The bootstrap method is used for the estimation of the asymptotic variance

Full textThe work this thesis focuses on the choice of the smoothing parameter in the context of non-parametric estimation of the density function for stationary ergodic continuous time processes. The accuracy of the estimation depends greatly on the choice of this parameter. The main goal of this work is to build an automatic window selection procedure and establish asymptotic properties while considering a general dependency framework that can be easily used in practice. The manuscript is divided into three parts. The first part reviews the literature on the subject, set the state of the art and discusses our contribution in within. In the second part, we design an automatical method for selecting the smoothing parameter when the density is estimated by the Kernel method. This choice stemming from the cross-validation method is asymptotically optimal. In the third part, we establish an asymptotic properties pertaining to consistency with rate for the resulting estimate of the window-width
