Cost-Sensitive Online Window Size Selection for Portfolio Management

Read the original on arXiv Machine Learning →

The paper proposes a two-level framework for portfolio management that selects window sizes in a cost-sensitive online manner. It treats candidate window sizes as experts and updates their aggregation weights using turnover-inclusive losses. The authors provide finite-horizon cost-sensitive tracking-regret bounds and show that, under bounded losses and cost rates, Fixed Share achieves asymptotically no tracking regret for sublinear switching budgets, while Hedge covers the static case.

Cost-Sensitive Online Window Size Selection for Portfolio Management

The paper presents a two‑level framework for portfolio management that selects window sizes in a cost‑sensitive, online manner. Candidate window sizes are treated as experts, and their aggregation weights are updated dynamically using turnover‑inclusive losses. The authors derive finite‑horizon tracking‑regret bounds that incorporate portfolio turnover, showing that with bounded losses and cost rates, a tuned Fixed Share algorithm achieves asymptotically no tracking regret for sublinear switching budgets, while Hedge handles the static case.

From Switching to Dynamic Regret: A Simple Reduction via Unbiased Random Sequences

The paper introduces a straightforward framework that transforms dynamic regret minimization into switching regret minimization by constructing an unbiased random sequence for any comparator sequence. Using this reduction, the authors derive dynamic regret bounds for strongly convex and exp-concave losses of “~O(T^{1/3}P_T^{2/3})” and for general convex losses of “O(√{T(1+P_T)})”, matching known minimax optimal results. The approach leverages off-the-shelf switching regret algorithms and controlled variance to achieve these bounds.
