Q-Group Monthly Lunch Series
Wednesday 16th May 12:30 - 13:30 (with option to continue to 14:00)
Discussion leader: Colin Bowers
Discussion Topic: Robust statistics and financial economics
Abstract: Robust statistics are rarely discussed in financial economics, both in academia, and the private sector. Yet the statistical properties of financial time-series appear to be precisely those that would suggest the application of robust statistics. I will open the discussion with a brief introduction to robust statistics and a few examples of how its application to equity returns can greatly improve on standard methods of estimation.
