Quantitative Models and Construction Methods 1. Model Name: Size Rotation Model Based on Odds and Win Rates - **Model Construction Idea**: The model integrates the concepts of odds and win rates to capture the rotation between large-cap and small-cap stocks. Odds are derived from valuation differences, while win rates are calculated using multiple indicators[4][30][40] - **Model Construction Process**: - **Odds Calculation**: - Define odds as the ratio of average positive returns to the absolute value of average negative returns - Formula: $ \mathbb{R}_{\mathbb{B}}^{\pm}\,\mathbb{R}=-\frac{\sum_{i=1}^{n}r e t u r n_{i}\,/n}{\sum_{j=1}^{m}r e t u r n_{j}\,/m} $ where $ \mathbb{R}_{\mathbb{B}}^{+} $ represents positive returns and $ \mathbb{R}_{\mathbb{B}}^{-} $ represents negative returns[30][31] - Use historical valuation differences between large-cap (CSI 300) and small-cap (CSI 2000) indices to estimate odds through linear regression[32][36] - **Win Rate Calculation**: - Combine multiple indicators (e.g., Shibor, short-term credit spread, market trend, market volatility, style momentum, style crowding, and calendar effects) to derive a composite win rate signal - Assign scores: 1 for large-cap signals, 0 for small-cap signals, and 0.5 for neutral signals. The average score represents the win rate[40][72] - **Kelly Formula for Allocation**: - Use the Kelly formula to calculate optimal allocation weights for large-cap and small-cap stocks based on odds and win rates - Formula: $ x = \frac{p*b - (1-p)}{b} $ where $ p $ is the win rate, $ b $ is the odds, and $ x $ is the allocation proportion[77] - Adjust weights to ensure they sum to 1 and avoid negative values, forming a complete rotation strategy[77][78] - **Model Evaluation**: The model effectively captures the rotation between large-cap and small-cap stocks, achieving significant excess returns and risk-adjusted performance[78] 2.
