Returns 1 RETURNS Prices and returns Let Pt be the price of an asset at time t. Assuming no dividends the net return is Pt Pt − Pt−1 −1= Rt = Pt−1 Pt−1 The simple gross return is Pt = 1 + Rt Pt−1 Returns 2 Example: If Pt−1 = 2 and Pt = 2.1 then 2.1 Pt 1 + Rt = = = 1.05 and Rt = 0.05 Pt−1 2 Returns 3 The gross return over k periods (t − k to t) is 1 + Rt (k) := Pt−1 Pt−k+1 Pt Pt ··· = Pt−k Pt−1 Pt−2 Pt−k = (1 + Rt ) · · · (1 + Rt−k+1 ) Returns are • scale-free‚ meaning that they do not depend

The study of robot kinematics‚ require a unified methodology to identify the variables of a robot’s or manipulator’s joints and links. Co-ordinate Frames Robotic kinematics depends on the use of right handed cartesian frames of reference. Manipulator Geometry A manipulator consists of two types of joints‚ connected by a link. Link A link is a solid mechanical structure which connects two joints. The main purpose of a link is to maintain a fixed relationship between the joints at
