Coskewness

PortfolioOptimisers.Coskewness Type
julia
struct Coskewness{__T_me, __T_mp, __T_alg} <: CoskewnessEstimator

Container type for coskewness estimators.

Coskewness encapsulates the mean estimator, matrix processing estimator, and moment algorithm for coskewness estimation.

Fields

  • me: Expected returns estimator.

  • mp: Matrix processing estimator.

  • alg: Moment algorithm.

Constructors

julia
Coskewness(;
    me::AbstractExpectedReturnsEstimator = SimpleExpectedReturns(),
    mp::AbstractMatrixProcessingEstimator = DenoiseDetoneAlgMatrixProcessing(),
    alg::AbstractMomentAlgorithm = Full()
) -> Coskewness

Keywords correspond to the struct's fields.

PortfolioOptimisers.coskewness Function
julia
coskewness(ske::Option{<:Coskewness}, X::MatNum; dims::Int = 1,
           mean = nothing, kwargs...)

Compute the full coskewness tensor and processed matrix for a dataset. For Full, it uses all centered data; for Semi, it uses only negative deviations. If the estimator is nothing, returns (nothing, nothing).

Arguments

  • ske: Coskewness estimator.

    • ske::Coskewness{<:Any, <:Any, <:Full}: Coskewness estimator with Full moment algorithm.

    • ske::Coskewness{<:Any, <:Any, <:Semi}: Coskewness estimator with Semi moment algorithm.

    • ske::Nothing: No-op, returns (nothing, nothing).

  • X: Data matrix (observations × assets).

  • dims: Dimension along which to perform the computation.

  • mean: Optional mean vector. If not provided, computed using the estimator's mean estimator.

  • kwargs...: Additional keyword arguments passed to the mean estimator.

Validation

  • dims is either 1 or 2.

Returns

  • cskew::Matrix{<:Number}: Coskewness tensor (observations × assets^2).

  • V::Matrix{<:Number}: Processed coskewness matrix (assets × assets).

coskewness(ske::WindowedCoskewness, X::MatNum; dims::Int = 1, iv::Option{<:MatNum} = nothing, kwargs...)

Compute the coskewness tensor and processed matrix using a rolling or indexed observation window.

This method selects a window of observations from X (and applies observation weights if specified), then delegates to the underlying coskewness estimator.

Arguments

  • ske: Windowed coskewness estimator.

  • X: Data matrix of asset returns (observations × assets).

  • dims: Dimension along which to perform the computation.

  • iv: Optional implied volatility matrix. Used if any internal covariance estimator is an instance of ImpliedVolatility.

  • kwargs...: Additional keyword arguments passed to the underlying estimator.

Returns

  • cskew::Matrix{<:Number}: Coskewness tensor (assets × assets²).

  • V::Matrix{<:Number}: Processed coskewness matrix (assets × assets).

negative_spectral_coskewness processes the coskewness tensor by applying the matrix processing estimator to each block, then projects the result using eigenvalue decomposition and clamps negative values. Used internally for robust coskewness estimation.

Arguments

  • cskew: Coskewness tensor (flattened or block matrix).

  • X: Data matrix (observations × assets).

  • mp: Matrix processing estimator.

Returns

  • V::Matrix{<:Number}: Processed coskewness matrix.
