A toolbox for risk and asset allocation from Attilio Meucci that allows for  advanced risk and portfolio management.

These routines support the book “Risk and Asset Allocation” Springer Finance, by A. Meucci, see http://www.symmys.com

The routines include many new features:

  • - more uni-, multi- and matrix-variate distributions
  • - more copulas
  • - more graphical representations
  • - more analyses in terms of the location-dispersion ellipsoid.
  • - best replication / best factor selection
  • - FFT-based projection of a distribution to the investment horizon
  • - caveats about delta/gamma pricing
  • - step-by-step evaluation of a generic estimator
  • - non-parametric estimators
  • - multivariate elliptical maximum-likelihood estimators
  • - shrinkage estimators: Stein and Ledoit-Wolf, Bayesian classical equivalent
  • - robust estimators: Hubert M, high-breakdown minimum volume ellipsoid
  • - missing-data techniques: EM algorithm, uneven-series conditional estimation
  • - stochastic dominance
  • - extreme value theory for VaR
  • - Cornish-Fisher approximation for VaR
  • - kernel-based contribution to VaR and expected shortfall from different risk-factors
  • - mean-variance analysis and pitfalls (different horizons, compounded vs. linear returns, etc…)
  • - Bayesian estimation (multivariate analytical, Monte Carlo Markov Chains, priors for correlation matrices)
  • - estimation risk evaluation: opportunity cost of estimation-based allocations
  • - Black Litterman allocation
  • - robust optimization (calls SeDuMi to perform cone programming)
  • - robust Bayesian allocation
  • - more…

In addition to these MATLAB routines, at www.symmys.com the reader can find other freely downloadable complementary materials:

  • - the “Technical Appendices”, a booklet with the proofs of the results presented in the books and used in the routines
  • - the “Slides”, a set of presentations that walk the reader through the whole book
  • - the “Errata”, a few typos in the first two reprints of the book
  • - the “Sample”, an excerpt of the book.

Any feedback on the above materials is highly appreciated: please refer to www.symmys.com to contact the author.

Download Poker Predictor  Version v1.2

 

The finest poker brains on your side!

Poker predictor currently supports  only Texas Hold\'em. Which poker version would you like to see on next release?











In real life poker games many factors affects the game. A good poker player has to study  facial expression, breath frequency, hands movements etc. In online games you have no opponent to look  in the eyes,  the math behind poker takes a leading role to gain an edge against others players. To become a good online poker player you have  to know at least some basic poker theory.

First of all I want to say something about the relationship between math and poker. Poker is a cards game, this means luck counts, you wont win all the matches if you know all the odds and if you are a great bluffer.  To win, you also have to be a little luck and, fortunately, poker is still an human game, experience and skills are important too.

But what is important is to acquire a good gaming style that allows you to play correctly every time. It does not mind if you play correctly and you still loose. You may loose this game but you’ll see that on a large numbers of matches the edge you have against your opponent will turn into money.

Now how to acquire a mathematically correct good gaming style?

There are two options:

  • You can study all the odds, read a thousand of poker game theory books, make some quite complex calculations in your head each time a card falls on the table.
  • You can Download Poker PredictorDownload Poker Predictor  Version v1.2

What can Poker Predictor Do

Texas holdem poker is about:

  • 2+5 cards each player
  • 52 total number of cards
  • 1326 starting hand configurations
  • 207025 distinct head-to-head match ups
  • 1712304 possible boards
  • 690900 hands configurations with a single opponent
  • over 6.22 e26 with 9 opponents
  • ……………..

All of them are in Poker Predictor

Poker Predictor is a tool to calculate poker games probabilities from whatever cards configuration. Probability are computed with random cards permutation, they are not the exact ones but the high simulations numbers ensure the error to be less than 1%.

Thanks to his strong computational engine, It can simulate 100′000 10 players Texas hold’em games in a matters of 0.3 seconds, so it is actually a real time tool, very useful for on line games, especially with high level players. It is possible to choose both players and opponents cards.

Although a little rough in the graphics (I am not a software developer, neither a programmer, just an engineer with poker passion) Poker predictor is a powerful tool, I am myself using it.
