The Sharpe ratio
\(S(X) = \frac{\mu_X - r_f}{\sigma_X}\) - higher better - how to compute with a calculator from a pdf and also with just \(\mu\) and \(\sigma\) - computing in R
Joint pdfs
Find probability given values Are they independent or not? What do increasing and decreasing joint pdfs look like?
\(E(X+Y) = E(X) + E(Y)\) regardless of independence
3 Rules of independence
Covariance of RV
\(Cov(X, Y) = E((X - \mu_X)(Y - \mu_Y))\)\(Var(X + Y) = Var(X) + Var(Y) + 2Cov(X, Y)\) If \(X\),\(Y\) are independent, then \(Cov(X, Y) = 0\), opposite not true If \(X\), \(Y\) are independent, \(Cov(X, Y) = 0\), so \(Var(X+ Y) = Var(X) + Var(Y)\)
Correlation
\(corr(x, y) = \frac{cov(x, y)}{s_x \cdot s_y}\)\[\rho = Corr(X, Y) = \frac{Cov(X, Y)}{\sigma_X \cdot \sigma_Y}\] ## IID variables \(E(aX + bY + c) = aE(X) + bE(Y) + c\)\(Var(aX + bY + c) = a^2Var(X) + b^2Var(Y) + 2abCov(X, Y)\)
