  • essay of random walk

    ...Course Name: Quantitative investment analysis FIN617 Winter 2013 Professor: Robert Elliott Subject: final essay Name: Feifei Chen The essential of a random walk is the changes of stocks are irregular following Brownian movement; the path of price changes is unpredictable. Mentioning prediction of the future, an autoregressive time-series is a significant and effective model. For a random walk without drift, however, standard regression analysis on the time-series is unavailable, because it’s against the assumption of time series model, covariance stationary. Because the variance of the time series is lack of upper bound, which violates the principle that the variance of a covariance stationary series must be a constant. Meanwhile a random walk doesn’t have a finite mean-reverting level. So we cannot use the AR model to predict the future for a random walk. Because based on AR(1) model, for a random walk without drift, the best prediction of future value is current value and this result doesn’t have any economic meaning. So it can be concluded that for a random walk, the changes of future should be unpredictable. As the change of stock prices follows a random walk, the change of stock price is undoubtedly unpredictable. Considering from another perspective, if the stock prices follow a random walk, it is impossible for investors to predict the future...

  • Random Variable and Expected Average Return Essay

    ...APStatistics Cole Rogers Unit 7 Exam Random Variables: Free Response Directions: Complete the assignment on this paper. If you need additional paper make sure that you clearly label each page with your name. Your answers for this assignment must include reasons; simply stating the answer without justification will earn partial credit. 1. A Roulette wheel has 38 slots numbered 0 to 36 and 00. The wheel is spun and a ball is thrown into the wheel and comes to rest in one of the slots. There are numerous of ways to bet, individual numbers, groups of numbers (1-12, 13-24, etc), by color (half of the numbers are black and the half are red), and in various other combinations. This problem is going to focus on betting $1.00 on the number group 1-12. If the ball lands in any of the values 1-12 the bet is won and the return is $3.00. If the ball lands on any of the other values the bet is lost. a.) Compute the expected value of this game. (4 points) X 2 -1 P(x) 12/38 26/38 X*P(x) .631 -.684 -.053 The expected value is -.053. b.) Interpret this expected value. (4 points) This means that the casino wins 5.3 cents per game or the players lose 5.3 cents per game. c.) What is the average return to the casino from 1,000,000 such bets? (4 points) 1000000*.05=50000 The casino can expect to win 500000 of the 1 million bets because 1 million times .05 is 50,000. 2.

  • Theory of Random Walks: Predicting Stock Market Prices Essay

    ...Random Walks in Stock Market Prices FOR MANY YEARS economists, statisticians, and teach- ers of finance have been interested in developing and testing models of stock price behavior. One important model that has evolved from this research is the theory of random walks. This theory casts serious doubt on many other methods for describing and predicting stock price behavior methods that have considerable popularity outside the academic world. For example, we shall see later that if the random walk theory is an accurate description of reality, then the various "technical" or "chartist" procedures for pre- dicting stock prices are completely without value. - In general the theory of random walks raises chal- lenging questions for anyone who has more than a passing interest in understanding the behavior of stock prices. Unfortunately, however, most discussions of the theory have appeared in technical academic journals and in a form which the non-mathematician would usually find incomprehensible. This article describes, briefly and simply, the theory of random walks and some of the important issues it raises concerning the work of market analysts. To preserve brevity some aspects of the theory and its implications are omitted. More complete (and also more technical) discussions of the theory of random walks are available elsewhere; hopefully the introduction provided here will...
