In regression analysis, heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation significantly impact model accuracy. Heteroskedasticity involves variable error variances, while autocorrelation means time-correlated residuals, both requiring tests like Breusch-Pagan and Durbin-Watson for detection and correction.

Conditional expectation, 𝔼(X|𝒢), in probability theory, is defined within a probability space (Ω, F, P). It's the expected value of a random variable X given a sub-σ-algebra 𝒢 of F, offering insights based on additional information. This concept is vital in analyzing stochastic processes, aligning with the structure and constraints of 𝒢.

The Subadditivity Principle in risk management states that combined asset risks shouldn't surpass individual risks, highlighting diversification's role in reducing risk. This principle contrasts with Value at Risk (VaR), which often overlooks 'tail risks', making it non-subadditive. Conditional VaR (CVaR) addresses this by considering severe losses beyond VaR, ensuring a more accurate risk measure.

Chebyshev's inequality, vital in probability theory and finance, estimates the probability of a variable deviating from its mean by more than k standard deviations, capped at 1/k². Useful in finance for risk analysis and asset allocation, it applies to various distributions without needing a normal distribution assumption. However, it may overestimate extreme outcomes, leading to conservative strategies. #ChebyshevsInequality #QuantitativeFinance #RiskManagement #FinancialAnalysis
