Various quasi-Newton methods periodically add a symmetric "correction" matrix of rank at most 2 to a matrix approximating some quantity A of interest (such as the Hessian of an objective function). In this paper we examine several ways to express a symmetric rank 2 matrix [delta] as the sum of...

unbiased informative ranking. The existence of the ranking might affect the welfare of all consumers negatively. With rigid … prices, the ranking induced change in demand can be detrimental to all consumers in markets featuring rationing or … consumption externalities. With perfectly flexible prices, the ranking might increase firms' market power, and hence lead to …

While the Sharpe ratio is still the dominant measure for ranking risky assets, a substantial effort has been made over … ranking measure which, under a regularity condition, correctly ranks risks relative to the original investor problem for a … probability distributions. This paper also explores the theoretical foundations of risk ranking, including proving a key …

We propose a Bayesian factor analysis model to rank the health of localities. Mortality and morbidity variables empirically contribute to the resulting rank, and population and spatial correlation are incorporated into a measure of uncertainty. We use county-level data from Texas and Wisconsin...

This paper uses the invariance principle to solve the incidental parameter problem. We seek group actions that preserve the structural parameter and yield a maximal invariant in the parameter space with fixed dimension. M-estimation from the likelihood of the maximal invariant statistic yields...

We provide maximum likelihood estimators of term structures of conditional probabilities of bankruptcy over relatively long time horizons, incorporating the dynamics of firm-specific and macroeconomic covariates. We find evidence in the U.S. industrial machinery and instruments sector, based on...

This article develops a direct filtration-based maximum likelihood methodology for estimating the parameters and realizations of latent affine processes. The equivalent of Bayes' rule is derived for recursively updating the joint characteristic function of latent variables and the data...

We develop and implement a technique for closed-form maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) of multifactor affine yield models. We derive closed-form approximations to likelihoods for nine Dai and Singleton (2000) affine models. Simulations show our technique very accurately approximates true (but...
