public class StatePreference
extends java.lang.Object

Nested Class Summary

class

StatePreference.Summary Class which holds a summary of the state of a simulation.

Constructor Summary

StatePreference(int bin)
Constructs

Method Summary

protected cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix1D	getReturns() Returns the expected return vector
protected cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix1D	getStdDev() Returns the measured standard deviation vector
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args) Tests the StatePreference concept given the data from Satchell and Scowcroft chaptrer 12
cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix2D	simulate(int num, cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix1D er, cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix2D covar) Called to simulate some results, note that we do not have a covariance matrix for this example so we are basically assuming a correlation of 0 between the various elements.
StatePreference.Summary	summarize(cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix2D assetStates) Given the raw simulation data, we compute mean vector and covariance matrix

Constructor Detail

StatePreference

public StatePreference(int bin)

Constructs

Parameters:

bin - Number of bins

Method Detail

getReturns

protected cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix1D getReturns()

Returns the expected return vector

Returns:

Expected returns vector for example

getStdDev

protected cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix1D getStdDev()

Returns the measured standard deviation vector

Returns:

Standard Deviation vector for example

simulate

public cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix2D simulate(int num,
                                                cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix1D er,
                                                cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix2D covar)

Called to simulate some results, note that we do not have a covariance matrix for this example so we are basically assuming a correlation of 0 between the various elements.

Parameters:

num - Number of simulations

er - Vector of mean expected returns

covar - Matrix of covariances of the asset returns

Returns:

Matrix of the results, num x er.size

summarize

public StatePreference.Summary summarize(cern.colt.matrix.DoubleMatrix2D assetStates)

Given the raw simulation data, we compute mean vector and covariance matrix

Parameters:

assetStates - Matrix of assetStates # of simulations x # of assets

Returns:

Summary information for the simulated asset states

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)

Tests the StatePreference concept given the data from Satchell and Scowcroft chaptrer 12

Parameters:

args - Command line arguments (ignored)
