報告簡介：數據融合和概率推理技術在資產投資策略及效能評估方面的應用，基于貝葉斯網絡的金融交易最優化決策及基于互信息的最優資產配置策略。
This presentation examines the application of data fusion and probabilistic reasoning for investment strategies and their performance evaluation. Specifically, both technical approaches based on well-known multiple model estimation and filtering algorithms and fundamental approaches based on information fusion using Bayesian networks applied to financial trading decisions will be presented. In addition, an optimal equity growth asset allocation strategy based on mutual information will also be discussed.The dynamic allocation strategy derived from channel capacity of a binary symmetric channel (Kelly’s formula) is used to determine the optimal fraction of equity to be invested in multiple risky assets. The simulated trading results based on real market data demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. An analytical operating curve to predict trading performance is also developed.

Professor KC Chang is a recognized expert in data fusion and Bayesian network technologies. In past thirty years, he has conducted research on a wide range of distributed data fusion and probabilistic reasoning problems. His recent research projects include Office of Naval Research (ONR) Distributed Fusion in Sensor Networks with Information Genealogy, National Science Foundation (NSF) Collaborative Decision Processing for Dynamic Spectrum Access in Programmable Wireless Networks, Army Research Office (ARO) Distributed Fusion with Copula, and Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Decision under Uncertainty for Satellite Communication. He has also worked on applying data fusion and probabilistic reasoning techniques to financial engineering applications. He is the Director of the Sensor Fusion Lab at George Mason University. Dr. Chang received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Connecticut in 1983 and 1986 respectively. From 1983 to 1992, he was a senior research scientist in Booz-Allen & Hamilton. In 1992, he joined the Systems Engineering and Operations Research department of George Mason University, where he is currently a professor. He has published more than two hundreds papers in the areas of multi-target tracking, distributed sensor fusion, Bayesian networks technologies, and financial engineering applications. He was the Editor on Tracking/Navigation Systems of IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems from 1993 to 1996, and the Editor on Large Scale Systems of the same transaction from 1996 to 2006. He was also an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics from 2002 to 2007. He was the Technical Program Cochair of the 2009 International Conference on Information Fusion, Seattle, USA. Dr. Chang was elected as an IEEE Fellow for his contribution on “sensor data fusion and Bayesian probabilistic inference” in 2010.
