We present an Expectation-Maximization algorithm for the fractal inverse problem: the problem of fitting a fractal model to data. In our setting the fractals are Iterated Function Systems (IFS), with similitudes as the family of transformations. The data is a point cloud in RH{\mathbb R}^H with arbitrary dimension HH.…

A fractal approach to the long-short portfolio optimization is proposed. The algorithmic system based on the composition of market-neutral spreads into a single entity was considered. The core of the optimization scheme is a fractal walk model of returns, optimizing a risk aversion according to the investment horizon. …

Globalization is one of the central concepts of our age. The common perception of the process is that, due to declining communication and transport costs, distance becomes less and less important. However, the distance coefficient in the gravity model of trade, which grows in time, indicates that the role of distance i…

Labyrinth fractals are self-similar dendrites in the unit square that are defined with the help of a labyrinth set or a labyrinth pattern. In the case when the fractal is generated by a horizontally and vertically blocked pattern, the arc between any two points in the fractal has infinite length [Cristea\&Steinsky 2009…

Labyrinth fractals are dendrites in the unit square. They were introduced and studied in the last decade first in the self-similar case [Cristea & Steinsky (2009,2011)], then in the mixed case [Cristea & Steinsky (2017), Cristea & Leobacher (2017)]. Supermixed fractals constitute a significant generalisation of mixed l…

Many 0/1 datasets have a very large number of variables; on the other hand, they are sparse and the dependency structure of the variables is simpler than the number of variables would suggest. Defining the effective dimensionality of such a dataset is a nontrivial problem. We consider the problem of defining a robust m…
