Robust Bayesian Portfolio Optimisation: Higher Moments and the Distorting Effects of Constraints by Wilson, Byron

“…The aim of this thesis is to introduce the Bayesian approach to asset allocation. In particular, the Black-Litterman model is introduced as a powerful Bayesian asset allocation model that enables the incorporation of human decision making (in the form of views) within a portfolio optimisation framework. …”
