Anno:
2019
In this paper, four different approaches for the definition of asymptotic confidence intervals for the ratio of two unknown parameters are reviewed and compared via a simulation study. The considered approaches are based on the well known Delta Method and on the distribution of the ratio of correlated normal random variables...
Some remarks on Zenga’s approach to kurtosis

In this paper, several insights on the Zenga’s approach for the measurement of Kurtosis are provided. These insights mainly regard the connections between Kurtosis and Concentration indexes and the relation between the Kurtosis diagram and an extension of the well-known Lorenz curve, i.e. the relative first incomplete moment function...

This paper focuses on the notion of cograduation which was first introduced in 1939 by the Italian statistician Tommaso Salvemini. In few words, a certain number of random variables are cograduated if they are associated with the maximum positive dependence. Here, it is shown how to derive the probability distribution of the sum of cograduated discrete random variables...

We propose a generalization of the three-parameters Zenga distribution obtaining a four-parameters
model. The generalization is performed using the confluent hypergeometric distribution as mixing
distributions in place of the classical beta. We compare the flexibility of the resulting model with
that of the Zenga distribution observing some improvements.

We study the estimators of three financial performance measures: the Sharpe Ratio, the Mean Difference
Ratio and the Mean Absolute Deviation Ratio. The analysis is performed under two sets of
assumptions. First, the case of i.i.d. Normal returns is considered. After that, relaxing the normality
assumption, the case of i.i.d. returns is investigated. In both situations, we study the bias of the estimators
and we propose their bias-corrected version. The exact and asymptotic distribution of the
three estimators is derived under the assumption of i.i.d. Normal returns. Concerning the case of
i.i.d. returns, the asymptotic distribution of the estimators is provided. The latter distributions are
used to define exact or asymptotic confidence intervals for the three indices. Finally, we perform a
simulation study in order to assess the efficiency of the bias corrected estimators, the coverage accuracy
and the length of the asymptotic confidence intervals.
