The analysis is conducted in a rigorous typological frame developed after a careful consideration of a wealth of cross-linguistic data, and focuses on Italian, a language often disregarded in comparative analyses. The complexity of the Italian epistemic system provides relevant information that will undoubtedly foster a better understanding of the topic. A new definition of epistemic modality is proposed on a functional basis and the structure of the Italian epistemic system.Italian languageModalityItalian languageSemanticsEpistemicsItalian languageModality.Italian languageSemantics.Epistemics.425/.6Pietrandrea Paola770001MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910968137203321Epistemic modality1570452UNINA03904nam 22006375 450 991098330390332120250915124528.09783031763052303176305X10.1007/978-3-031-76305-2(MiAaPQ)EBC31876254(Au-PeEL)EBL31876254(CKB)37188985300041(DE-He213)978-3-031-76305-2(OCoLC)1496394205(EXLCZ)993718898530004120250111d2025 u| 0engurcnu||||||||txtrdacontentcrdamediacrrdacarrierNonlinear Investing: A Quantamental Approach /by Lingjie Ma1st ed. 2025.Cham :Springer Nature Switzerland :Imprint: Springer,2025.1 online resource (434 pages)9783031763045 3031763041 Chapter 1 Introduction -- Chapter 2 Quantamental Analysis -- Chapter 3 Nonlinear Factor Effects on Returns -- Chapter 4 Nonlinear Alpha Modeling -- Chapter 5 Tail Portfolios -- Chapter 6 Nonlinear Investing: Japan Stock Selection Strategy -- Chapter 7 Nonlinear Investing: Currency -- Chapter 9 Nonlinear Investing: Commodity -- Index.This book focuses on nonlinear investing with a quantamental approach. Pricing relationships in financial markets are often nonlinear, which raises serious questions for portfolio management: How can we characterize nonlinear patterns in asset pricing? Why do such nonlinear patterns occur and in what contexts? How can we know whether such relationships will persist in the future? And how much is the value added by a nonlinear over a linear model? These questions cannot be answered by piecing together fundamental prospects based on personal experience and preference, which can be biased, or by torturing the data to make it confess whatever we want (particularly big data, which allows more freedom for data mining). Rather, nonlinear investing should rely on both fundamental insights and quantitative analysis: the former ensures that similar nonlinear patterns will occur in the future and the latter validates the nonlinear pattern with historical data. In this way, quant marries fundamental: a quantamental approach! The book provides a systematic guide to conducting nonlinear investing through quantamental analysis. The author demonstrates how nonlinear investment strategies, achieving both depth and breadth, add significant value to portfolio performance for different asset classes. The primary audience for this book is senior professional investors and quant/fundamental investment shops who look for new ideas to enhance their existing products or develop new products. The book will also be helpful to finance faculty and graduate students who are interested in frontier industry practices.StatisticsInformation visualizationMultivariate analysisStatistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, InsuranceData and Information VisualizationMultivariate AnalysisEstadísticathubAnàlisi multivariablethubLlibres electrònicsthubStatistics.Information visualization.Multivariate analysis.Statistics in Business, Management, Economics, Finance, Insurance.Data and Information Visualization.Multivariate Analysis.EstadísticaAnàlisi multivariable300.727Ma Lingjie998881MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910983303903321Nonlinear Investing: A Quantamental Approach4317440UNINA
