1 The Newsvendor Problem - Columbia University
www.columbia.eduLet D denote the one period random demand, with mean „ = E[D] and variance ¾2 = V[D]. Let c be the unit cost, p > c the selling price and s < c the salvage value. If Q units are ordered, then min(Q;D) units are sold and (Q¡D)+ = max(Q¡D;0) units are salvaged. The proflt is given by pmin(Q;D)+s(Q¡D)+ ¡cQ. The expected proflt is well ...

www.themoneypouch.comalso referred to the mean-variance analysis (with ‘mean’ used interchangeably with average or expected return, and ‘variance’ used to denote risk). Markowitz demonstrated that under certain conditions, an investor’s portfolio selection can be reduced to balancing two critical dimensions: (1) the expected return of the portfolio, and ...
Variance, covariance, correlation, moment-generating functions
faculty.math.illinois.edu– Notes: In contrast to expectation and variance, which are numerical constants associated with a random variable, a moment-generating function is a function in the usual (one-variable) sense (see the above examples). A moment generating function characterizes a …
