This example shows a CAPM demonstration using 6 stocks and 60 months of simulated asset returns, where the model for each stock is AssetReturn = Alpha * 1 + CashReturn + Beta * (MarketReturn - CashReturn) + Noise and the parameters to estimate are Alpha and Beta.

Using simulated data, where the Alpha estimate(s) are displayed in the first row(s) and the Beta estimate(s) are display in the second row(s). 

Market = (0.1 - 0.04) + 0.17*randn(60, 1);
Asset = (0.1 - 0.04) + 0.35*randn(60, 6);

Design = cell(60, 1);
for i = 1:60
            Design{i} = repmat([ 1, Market(i) ], 6, 1);
end

Obtain the aggregate estimates for all stocks. 

[Param, Covar] = mvnrmle(Asset, Design);

disp({'All 6 Assets Combined'});
    {'All 6 Assets Combined'}

disp(Param);
    0.0233
    0.1050

Estimate parameters for individual stocks using convert2sur 

Group = 1:6;
DesignSUR = convert2sur(Design, Group);
[Param, Covar] = mvnrmle(Asset, DesignSUR);
Param = reshape(Param, 2, 6);

disp({ 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D', 'E', 'F' });
    {'A'}    {'B'}    {'C'}    {'D'}    {'E'}    {'F'}

disp(Param);
    0.0144    0.0270    0.0046    0.0419    0.0376    0.0291
    0.3264   -0.1716    0.3248   -0.0630   -0.0001    0.0637

Estimate parameters for pairs of stocks by forming groups. 

disp({'A & B', 'C & D','E & F'});
    {'A & B'}    {'C & D'}    {'E & F'}

Group = { [1,2 ],[3,4],[5,6]};
DesignSUR = convert2sur(Design, Group);
[Param, Covar] = mvnrmle(Asset, DesignSUR);

Param = reshape(Param, 2, 3);

disp(Param);
    0.0186    0.0190    0.0334
    0.0988    0.1757    0.0293

Input Arguments

collapse all

Data series, specified as a matrix or a cell array that depends on the number of data series NUMSERIES.

  • If NUMSERIES = 1, convert2sur returns the Design matrix.

  • If NUMSERIES > 1, Design is a cell array with NUMSAMPLES cells, where each cell contains a NUMSERIES-by-NUMPARAMS matrix of known values.

Data Types: double | cell

Grouping for data series, specified using separate parameters for each group. Specify groups either by series or by groups:

  • To identify groups by series, construct an index vector that has NUMSERIES elements. Element i = 1, ..., NUMSERIES in the vector, and has the index j = 1, ..., NUMGROUPS of the group in which series i is a member.

  • To identify groups by groups, construct a cell array with NUMGROUPS elements. Each cell contains a vector with the indexes of the series that populate a given group.

    In either case, the number of series is NUMSERIES and the number of groups is NUMGROUPS, with 1 ≤ NUMGROUPS ≤ NUMSERIES.

Data Types: double | cell

Output Arguments

collapse all

Seemingly unrelated regression model with a specified grouping of the data series, returned as either a matrix or a cell array that depends on the value of NUMSERIES.

  • If NUMSERIES = 1, DesignSUR = Design, which is a NUMSAMPLES-by-NUMPARAMS matrix.

  • If NUMSERIES > 1 and NUMGROUPS groups are to be formed, Design is a cell array with NUMSAMPLES cells, where each cell contains a NUMSERIES-by-(NUMGROUPS * NUMPARAMS) matrix of known values.

The original collection of parameters that are common to all series are replicated to form collections of parameters for each group.
