For example, suppose a risk manager wants to calculate the value at risk using the parametric method for a one-day time horizon. The weight of the first asset is 40%, and the weight of the second ...

This short paper demonstrates how a covariance matrix estimated using log returns of multiple assets in their respective base currencies can be converted directly into a covariance matrix in a single ...

If the source matrix is 3-by-3 or smaller, then it's possible to compute the inverse using brute force. If you need the determinant of the source matrix, then using LUP decomposition (Crout or ...

This paper proposes a novel shrinkage estimator for high-dimensional covariance matrices by extending the Oracle Approximating Shrinkage (OAS) of Chen et al. (2009) to target the diagonal elements of ...

A covariance matrix is a powerful statistical tool that provides insights into the relationships between different variables in a dataset. It indicates the extent to which two or more random variables ...
