Biases in Decomposing Holding-Period Portfolio Returns
Review of Financial Studies, 2006A growing number of studies in finance decompose multiperiod portfolio returns into a series of single-period returns, using these to test asset pricing models or market efficiency or to evaluate the returns to investment strategies such as those based on momentum, size, and value-growth.

Abstract The occurrence of a hurricane is a rare event. The likelihood of rare events that are not periodic in time are expressed in terms of return periods. Return periods are used to describe the occurrence of earthquakes and extreme flood events. The qualification that events are not periodic is important.

Return periods and encounter probabilities
Applied Ocean Research, 1995A procedure has been developed to determine the probability of a ship encountering a severe storm. The encounter probability has been formulated in terms of the return period of the storm as well as the operation profile of the ship and the wave statistics along its route.

Journal of Geophysical Research, 1959
The samples available in hydrology are often so small that it is desirable to take their size into account when estimating parameters. By using a simple classical model the relationship between various estimates of return periods derived from hydrologic time series has been obtained.

Return of Ovulation During the Postpartum Period
Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 1974Abstract. The occurrence of ovulation was determined in 21 healthy women after full term delivery by quantitation of the serum progesterone, basal body temperature and cervical mucous ferning tests. The basal body temperature was recorded daily starting during the first week postpartum and serum progesterone estimations and cervical mucus ferning ...

Communicating the return period of extremes
2023The concept of return period (recurrence interval) of extreme events is widely used in engineering practice and in the media. In engineering design and risk assessment, the concept of return period is used to determine the expected magnitude(s) of one or more extreme weather events – i.e., the expected magnitude of an event that, if occurred,

Gulf of Mexico Rare Wave Return Periods
Journal of Petroleum Technology, 1978Estimates of rare wave heights and crest heights in the Gulf of Mexico were derived from hindcasts of 22 severe hurricanes since 1900. Results vary little between the sectors investigated. Wave height results are not influenced strongly by the statistical method used, but crest heights are. Results provide a basis for evaluation of platform design wave

Risk Pooling in Commercial Returns by Managing Product Return Period
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013Retail companies can employ a variety of return policies ranging from a no-questions-asked return policy to specifying a duration in which products can be returned. This duration is often termed as return period. The impact of return period length on product return volumes and their variability is not understood. This paper shows that increasing return

Recovering Returning Periodic Comets
2010If discovering comets sounds like just too much hard work, or if you simply do not have the time in your life to allocate hundreds of hours a year to a project that may never bear fruit, then you might like to consider searching along a known comet’s orbit as it returns to the inner solar system.
