GRS.optimal | R Documentation |
The optimal level is calculated by minimizing expected loss from hypothesis testing
The F-distributions are used to calculate the power, under the normality assumption
GRS.optimal(T, N, K, theta, ratio, p = 0.5, k = 1, Graph = TRUE)
T |
sample size |
N |
the number of portfolio returns |
K |
the number of risk factors |
theta |
maximum Sharpe ratio of the K factor portfolios |
ratio |
theta/thetas, proportion of the potential efficiency |
p |
prior probability for H0, default is p = 0.5 |
k |
relative loss, k = L2/L1, default is k = 1 |
Graph |
show graph if TRUE. No graph otherwise |
Based on the power calculation of the GRS test, as in GRS (1989) <DOI:10.2307/1913625>.
The blue square in the plot is the point where the expected loss is mimimized.
The red horizontal line in the plot indicates the point of the covnentional level of significance (alpha = 0.05).
opt.sig |
Optimal level of significance |
opt.crit |
Critical value corresponding to opt.sig |
opt.beta |
Type II error probability corresponding to opt.sig |
ratio = theta/thetas
thetas = maximum Sharpe ratio of the K factor portfolios: GRS (1989) <DOI:10.2307/1913625>
