High-dimensionality effects in the Markowitz problem and other quadratic programs with linear constraints: risk underestimation
From MaRDI portal
(Redirected from Publication:620558)
Abstract: We first study the properties of solutions of quadratic programs with linear equality constraints whose parameters are estimated from data in the high-dimensional setting where p, the number of variables in the problem, is of the same order of magnitude as n, the number of observations used to estimate the parameters. The Markowitz problem in Finance is a subcase of our study. Assuming normality and independence of the observations we relate the efficient frontier computed empirically to the "true" efficient frontier. Our computations show that there is a separation of the errors induced by estimating the mean of the observations and estimating the covariance matrix. In particular, the price paid for estimating the covariance matrix is an underestimation of the variance by a factor roughly equal to 1-p/n. Therefore the risk of the optimal population solution is underestimated when we estimate it by solving a similar quadratic program with estimated parameters. We also characterize the statistical behavior of linear functionals of the empirical optimal vector and show that they are biased estimators of the corresponding population quantities.
