We focus on robust Bayesian estimation of the systematic risk of an asset in presence of outlying points. We assume that the returns follow independent normal distributions with a product partition structure on the parameters of interest. A Bayesian decision theoretical approach is used to identify the partition that best separates standard and atypical data points. We apply a nonsmooth optimization algorithm to minimize the expected value of a given loss function. The methodology is illustrated with reference to the IPSA stock market index and the MIBTEL one.

Abstract: | We focus on robust Bayesian estimation of the systematic risk of an asset in presence of outlying points. We assume that the returns follow independent normal distributions with a product partition structure on the parameters of interest. A Bayesian decision theoretical approach is used to identify the partition that best separates standard and atypical data points. We apply a nonsmooth optimization algorithm to minimize the expected value of a given loss function. The methodology is illustrated with reference to the IPSA stock market index and the MIBTEL one. | |
