Abstract


Abstract

In this paper, a new three-parameter distribution, which is a member of the Alpha Power Transformed Family of distributions, is introduced. The new distribution is a generalization of the logistic model called the alpha power transformed logistic (APTL) distribution. Some mathematical properties of the new distribution like moments, quantile function, median, skewness, kurtosis, Rényi entropy, and order statistics are discussed. The parameters of the distribution are estimated using the maximum likelihood estimation method and a simulation study is performed to investigate the effectiveness of the estimates. The usefulness and flexibility of the APTL distribution in modelling financial data are investigated using two portfolio stock indices, namely the NASDAQ and New York stock indices, both from the United States stock market. Based on the model selection criteria, we are able to establish empirically that the APTL distribution is the best for modelling the two data sets, among the various distributions compared in the study. For each of the data, the quantile value-at-risk estimates for the APTL distribution give the smaller expected portfolio loss at high confidence levels in comparison to those of the other distributions.

Keywords: Alpha power transformed family of distributions; logistic distribution; maximum likelihood estimation; portfolio investments; value-at-risk.

 

Abstrak

Pada artikel ini, diperkenalkan distribusi baru dengan tiga parameter yang merupakan anggota dari keluarga distribusi Alpha Power Transformed. Distribusi baru ini merupakan generalisasi dari model logistik yang disebut distribusi Alpha Power Transform Logistics (APTL). Selain itu, dibahas pula beberapa sifat matematika dari distribusi tersebut yaitu momen, fungsi kuantil, median, kemiringan, kurtosis, entropi Rényi, dan statistik terurut. Parameter distribusi diestimasi menggunakan metode maximum likelihood estimation dan studi simulasi dilakukan untuk menyelidiki keefektifan estimasi. Kegunaan dan fleksibilitas distribusi APTL dalam pemodelan data keuangan diselidiki menggunakan dua indeks saham portofolio dari pasar saham Amerika Serikat yaitu indeks saham NASDAQ dan New York. Berdasarkan kriteria pemilihan model, secara empiris, dihasilkan bahwa APTL adalah distribusi terbaik untuk memodelkan dua set data di antara berbagai distribusi yang dibandingkan pada penelitian ini. Untuk setiap data, estimasi kuantil value-at-risk untuk distribusi APTL memberikan kerugian portofolio yang diharapkan lebih kecil dengan tingkat kepercayaan tinggi dibandingkan dengan distribusi lainnya.

Kata Kunci: distribusi dari keluarga Alpha power transformed; distribusi logistik; maximum likelihood estimation; investasi portofolio; value-at-risk.
