This paper introduces a new Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) Python package called AdvEMDpy that is demonstrably more flexible and which generalises in numerous important ways the existing EMD packages available in Python, R, and MATLAB. The extensions introduced by this AdvEMDpy package both...

This paper will outline the functionality available in the CovRegpy package for actuarial practitioners, wealth managers, fund managers, and portfolio analysts written in Python 3.7. The major contributions of CovRegpy can be found in the CovRegpy_DCC.py, CovRegpy_IFF.py, CovRegpy_RCR.py,...

A time-series basis decomposition and trend extraction technique known as Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD), designed for multi-scale time-frequency decomposition in non-stationary time-series settings, will be combined with Regularised Covariance Regression (RCR) methods to produce a framework...

This work serves as a formal supplement to ‘Package AdvEMDpy: Algorithmic Variations of Empirical Mode Decomposition in Python’ with additional synthetic and real-world examples. AdvEMDpy will be shown to be more accurate than its Python competitors in resolving the underlying driving...

In this paper we develop an analysis of multivariate time series that exhibit reduced rank cointegration, implying that a lower dimensional linear projection of the process can be obtained in which the projected process becomes stationary. Detection of the rank and basis upon which to project...

Abstract In crush spread commodity trading strategies it is a common practice to select portfolio positions not based on statistical properties, but instead based on physical refinery conditions and efficiency in extracting byproducts from crushing raw soybeans to get soymeal and soyoil. The...

We consider multivariate time series that exhibit reduced rank cointegration, which means a lower dimensional linear projection of the process becomes stationary. We will review recent suitable Markov Chain Monte Carlo approaches for Bayesian inference such as the Gibbs sampler and the Geodesic...

We set the context for capital approximation within the framework of the Basel II/III regulatory capital accords. This is particularly topical as the Basel III accord is shortly due to take effect. In this regard, we provide a summary of the role of capital adequacy in the new accord,...
