Dynamic Portfolio Strategy Using Clustering Approach.

ABSTRACT: The problem of portfolio optimization is one of the most important issues in asset management. We here propose a new dynamic portfolio strategy based on the time-varying structures of MST networks in Chinese stock markets, where the market condition is further considered when using the optimal portfolios for investment. A portfolio strategy comprises two stages: First, select the portfolios by choosing central and peripheral stocks in the selection horizon using five topological parameters, namely degree, betweenness centrality, distance on degree criterion, distance on correlation criterion and distance on distance criterion. Second, use the portfolios for investment in the investment horizon. The optimal portfolio is chosen by comparing central and peripheral portfolios under different combinations of market conditions in the selection and investment horizons. Market conditions in our paper are identified by the ratios of the number of trading days with rising index to the total number of trading days, or the sum of the amplitudes of the trading days with rising index to the sum of the amplitudes of the total trading days. We find that central portfolios outperform peripheral portfolios when the market is under a drawup condition, or when the market is stable or drawup in the selection horizon and is under a stable condition in the investment horizon. We also find that peripheral portfolios gain more than central portfolios when the market is stable in the selection horizon and is drawdown in the investment horizon. Empirical tests are carried out based on the optimal portfolio strategy. Among all possible optimal portfolio strategies based on different parameters to select portfolios and different criteria to identify market conditions, 65% of our optimal portfolio strategies outperform the random strategy for the Shanghai A-Share market while the proportion is 70% for the Shenzhen A-Share market.

Project description:Decision-making is a high-level cognitive process based on cognitive processes like perception, attention, and memory. Real-life situations require series of decisions to be made, with each decision depending on previous feedback from a potentially changing environment. To gain a better understanding of the underlying processes of dynamic decision-making, we applied the method of cognitive modeling on a complex rule-based category learning task. Here, participants first needed to identify the conjunction of two rules that defined a target category and later adapt to a reversal of feedback contingencies. We developed an ACT-R model for the core aspects of this dynamic decision-making task. An important aim of our model was that it provides a general account of how such tasks are solved and, with minor changes, is applicable to other stimulus materials. The model was implemented as a mixture of an exemplar-based and a rule-based approach which incorporates perceptual-motor and metacognitive aspects as well. The model solves the categorization task by first trying out one-feature strategies and then, as a result of repeated negative feedback, switching to two-feature strategies. Overall, this model solves the task in a similar way as participants do, including generally successful initial learning as well as reversal learning after the change of feedback contingencies. Moreover, the fact that not all participants were successful in the two learning phases is also reflected in the modeling data. However, we found a larger variance and a lower overall performance of the modeling data as compared to the human data which may relate to perceptual preferences or additional knowledge and rules applied by the participants. In a next step, these aspects could be implemented in the model for a better overall fit. In view of the large interindividual differences in decision performance between participants, additional information about the underlying cognitive processes from behavioral, psychobiological and neurophysiological data may help to optimize future applications of this model such that it can be transferred to other domains of comparable dynamic decision tasks.

Project description:BackgroundThere are 3 issues in bibliometrics that need to be addressed: The lack of a clear definition for author collaborations in cluster analysis that takes into account collaborations with and without self-connections; The need to develop a simple yet effective clustering algorithm for use in coword analysis, and; The inadequacy of general bibliometrics in regard to comparing research achievements and identifying articles that are worth reading and recommended for readers. The study aimed to put forth a clustering algorithm for cluster analysis (called following leader clustering [FLCA], a follower-leading clustering algorithm), examine the dissimilarities in cluster outcomes when considering collaborations with and without self-connections in cluster analysis, and demonstrate the application of the clustering algorithm in bibliometrics.MethodsThe study involved a search for articles and review articles published in JMIR Medical Informatics between 2016 and 2022, conducted using the Web of Science core collections. To identify author collaborations (ACs) and themes over the past 7 years, the study utilized the FLCA algorithm. With the 3 objectives of; Comparing the results obtained from scenarios with and without self-connections; Applying the FLCA algorithm in ACs and themes, and; Reporting the findings using traditional bibliometric approaches based on counts and citations, and all plots were created using R.ResultsThe study found a significant difference in cluster outcomes between the 2 scenarios with and without self-connections, with a 53.8% overlap (14 out of the top 20 countries in ACs). The top clusters were led by Yonsei University in South Korea, Grang Luo from the US, and model in institutes, authors, and themes over the past 7 years. The top entities with the most publications in JMIR Medical Informatics were the United States, Yonsei University in South Korea, Medical School, and Grang Luo from the US.ConclusionThe FLCA algorithm proposed in this study offers researchers a comprehensive approach to exploring and comprehending the complex connections among authors or keywords. The study suggests that future research on ACs with cluster analysis should employ FLCA and R visualizations.

Project description:Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell culture has a major importance on the production of biopharmaceuticals, including recombinant therapeutic proteins such as monoclonal antibodies (MAb). Mathematical modeling of biological systems can successfully assess metabolism complexity while providing logical and systematic methods for relevant genetic target and culture parameter identification toward cell growth and productivity improvements. Most modeling approaches on CHO cells have been performed under stationary constraints, and only a few dynamic models have been presented on simplified reaction sets, due to substantial overparameterization problems. The hybrid cybernetic modeling (HCM) approach has been recently used to describe the dynamic behavior by incorporating regulation between different metabolic states by elementary mode participation control, with sets of equations evaluated by objective functions. However, as metabolic networks evaluated are constructed toward a genomic scale, and cell compartmentalization is considered, identification of the active set becomes more difficult as EM number exponentially grows. Thus, the development of robust approaches for EM active set selection and analysis with smaller computational requirements is required to impulse the use of cybernetic modeling on larger up to genome-scale networks. In this report, a novel elementary mode selection strategy, based on a polar representation of the convex solution space is presented and coupled to a cybernetic approach to model the dynamic physiologic and metabolic behavior of CHO-S cell cultures. The proposed Polar Space Yield Analysis (PSYA) was compared to other reported elementary mode selection approaches derived from Common Metabolic Objective Analysis (CMOA) used in Flux Balance Analysis (FBA), Yield Space Analysis (YSA), and Lumped Yield Space Analysis (LYSA). For this purpose, exponential growth phase dynamic metabolic models were calculated using kinetic rate equations based on previously modeled growth parameters. Finally, complete culture dynamic metabolic flux models were constructed using the HCM approach with selected elementary mode sets. The yield space elementary mode- and the polar space elementary mode- hybrid cybernetic models presented the best fits and performances. Also, a flux reaction perturbation prediction approach based on the polar yield solution space resulted useful for metabolic network flux distribution capability analysis and identification of potential genetic modifications targets.
