  2. Downside risk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downside_risk

    The probability of losses is reflected in the downside risk of an investment, or the lower portion of the distribution of returns. [8] The CAPM, however, includes both halves of a distribution in its calculation of risk. Because of this it has been argued that it is crucial to not simply rely upon the CAPM, but rather to distinguish between the ...

  3. Sortino ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sortino_ratio

    The Sortino ratio measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment asset, portfolio, or strategy. [1] It is a modification of the Sharpe ratio but penalizes only those returns falling below a user-specified target or required rate of return, while the Sharpe ratio penalizes both upside and downside volatility equally.

  4. Post-modern portfolio theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-modern_portfolio_theory

    Downside risk (DR) is measured by target semi-deviation (the square root of target semivariance) and is termed downside deviation. It is expressed in percentages and therefore allows for rankings in the same way as standard deviation. An intuitive way to view downside risk is the annualized standard deviation of returns below the target.

  5. Algorithms for calculating variance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithms_for_calculating...

    Based on this sample, the estimated population mean is 10, and the unbiased estimate of population variance is 30. Both the naïve algorithm and two-pass algorithm compute these values correctly. Next consider the sample (10 8 + 4, 10 8 + 7, 10 8 + 13, 10 8 + 16), which gives rise to the same estimated variance as the first sample. The two-pass ...

  6. Deviation risk measure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviation_risk_measure

    In financial mathematics, a deviation risk measure is a function to quantify financial risk (and not necessarily downside risk) in a different method than a general risk measure. Deviation risk measures generalize the concept of standard deviation .

  7. Upside potential ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upside_potential_ratio

    The upside-potential ratio is a measure of a return of an investment asset relative to the minimal acceptable return. The measurement allows a firm or individual to choose investments which have had relatively good upside performance, per unit of downside risk.

  8. Deviance (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deviance_(statistics)

    In statistics, deviance is a goodness-of-fit statistic for a statistical model; it is often used for statistical hypothesis testing.It is a generalization of the idea of using the sum of squares of residuals (SSR) in ordinary least squares to cases where model-fitting is achieved by maximum likelihood.

  9. Risk aversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_aversion

    The apportioning risk perspective can also be used to as a factor in the transition of employment status, only if the strength of downside risk aversion exceeds the strength of risk aversion. [33] If using the behavioural approach to model an individual’s decision on their employment status there must be more variables than risk aversion and ...
