Abstract How the investors to get the expected return with the great opportunities and challenges in financial markets, is becoming one of the problems that investors need to solve. The generalized entropy optimization model studied in this paper can better measure the investment risk and make up the insufficiency of the traditional investment portfolio model. On the optimization theory, this paper studies generalized entropy model based on investor sentiment to help investors to make decisions. Firstly, the investor sentiment is quantified and processed to reflect the fluctuation of investor sentiment by market data, and then reflect the investors attitude to the market situation; Secondly, combined with the investor sentiment evaluation indexes, the generalized entropy investment decision model is constructed to reflect the emotional changes of the investors, selecting 24 stocks from the industries to portfolio invest, determining the optimal investment ratio of each stock and ensuring that the minimum investment risk to get the maximum investment income. The theory of entropy optimization with investor sentiment is more close to the investors' investment preferences, and it is more satisfying to the investors' intention.

Key words: Optimization Model Investor Sentiment, Principal Component Analysis, Generalized Entropy, Investment Decision.

1. INTRODUCTION

Unlike modern portfolio theory hypothesis, behavioral finance theory holds that investors may make the irrational investment, because of being affected by the external and own psychological effects. Kahneman and Tversky (1979) proposed the "prospect theory"; Debondt and Thaler (1985) pointed out that most people would violate the Bias rule to unexpected events and appeared "overreaction" phenomenon, which sparked a renaissance of behavioral finance; Shefrin (1994) and Statman (2000) put forward respectively the single account portfolio theories and the multiple accounts portfolio theories; De long, Shieifer, Summers and Waldmann (1990); Barberis, Shieifer and Vishny (1998); Hong and Stein (1999) proposed respectively the DSSW model, BSV model, HS model ,which are the important behavioral finance theories; M Baker,J Wurgler (2006) studied the impact of investor sentiment on the cross section of the stock, which is based on the study of small stocks, young, high volatility, non-payment of dividends, loss, extreme growth stocks and bad stocks; Changsheng, Chi Yangchun(2013) built the rational and irrational sentiment indexes and did a research. Research showed that rational investors and irrational investors were makers of the market volatility and rational investors didn’t have the effect of stabilizing the market; Yi Zhigao, MaoNing(2009)constructed a composite index measuring stock market investor sentiment (CICSI) by six individual sentiment indicators, such as closed- end Fund discounts, IPO quantity, First-day gains, Consumer Confidence Index, New Investors Accounts and did a preliminary inspection that CICSI had the effectiveness to measure the investors' irrational behavior; Li Fengyu (2014) explained the ETF premium phenomenon of the A-share market based on the perspective of investor sentiment; Liu Weiqi, Liu Xinxin (2014) comparatively studied of the effects of individual and institutional investor sentiment on stock returns, which showed that the institutional investors emotions can help predict individual investors, and vice versa not established; Zhang Liping, Wang Lin (2014) found that the investor emotional index had a strong explanatory power on the stock return through the empirical analysis of EGARCH model; Wang Bo (2014) constructed the asset pricing model based on investor sentiment and the 142

Rev. Téc. Ing. Univ. Zulia. Vol. 39, Nº 8, 142 - 150, 2016 study found that stock equilibrium price can be decomposed into the rational and emotional part, which investor sentiment lead to the price deviate from the intrinsic value and the higher volatility and price bubble. Because of the stock data processing complex and the large calculation, how to quantify stock data became a hot topic in mathematical finance field. As a gradually mature mathematical analysis tool, entropy has been gradually applied to securities investment and recognized by scholars; AM Mathai, HJ Haubold (2007) introduced the characteristics of generalized entropy index through the analysis of Mathai path mode; E Maasoumi,M Trede (2001) derived a generalized flow model and had the comparison of United States and Germany’s earnings mobility by using panel data; As C.E.Shannon proposed the information entropy, the entropy theory has been used in machine learning algorithms and get the promotion, Karayiannis (1994) made up the defect of the fuzzy clustering by the entropy theory and he proposed the maximum entropy clustering algorithm; Li (1995) proposed the maximum entropy clustering algorithm to solve the problem of uncertainty; Wang Yijiao, Feng Qi, Chai Lihe (2009) used the generalized entropy to analyze the evolution process of the stock market; For the comprehensive evaluation system of virtual enterprise partner selection, Wang shuo, Tang Xiaowo (2003) put forward the generalized entropy model. According to the analysis of the investors’ research results, the investor sentiment evaluation index system is constructed and combined the generalized entropy model; this paper constructs the generalized entropy investment decision model reflecting investor sentiment. The model is used to invest and to determine the proportion of stock investments, which can maximize investment returns and provides a theoretical basis for investors to make investment decisions. With the advancement in networking and multimedia technologies enables the distribution and sharing of multimedia content widely. In the meantime, piracy becomes increasingly rampant as the customers can easily duplicate and redistribute the received multimedia content to a large audience. Insuring the copyrighted multimedia content is appropriately used has become increasingly critical.

2. MODEL CONSTRUCTION

2.1. Investor Sentiment Comprehensive Evaluation Index System Construction Baker and Wurgler(2006) pointed out that the various proxy variables of investor sentiment may have some lead-lag effect, making these variables at different times can influence the investor sentiment. Based on this method, considering the influence of past data on investor sentiment, in the process of selection indicators, the paper selects a lag phase of indicators as explanatory variables to illustrate the investor sentiment changes. Therefore, in view of the selection frequency of various index and the difficulty of obtaining stock data, this article choose the Consumer Confidence Index (CCI), Closed-End Fund Discount rate (CEFD), Turnover rate (TURN), New Investor Account growth rate (NIA), Price Earnings Ratio (PER), The Composite Index Returns rate (SCIR) and lag a period of Price Earnings Ratio (PER-1) to construct the comprehensive index of investor sentiment. Data is selected from 2008.01 to 2014.12, which are a total of 84 months. The empirical samples are selected from Shanghai A-share market in China. The types and selection reason of quantitative indicators are shown in Table 1. Table 1.

From table 3, the KMO value is 0.661, which is generally considered to be suitable for doing the factor analysis if the KMO value is more than 0.6. So the sentiment variable is suitable for the factor analysis. From table 4, we can easily see that the eigenvalues of the first three factors is more than 1, the fourth factor eigenvalues is 0.547, the variance accounted for 7.811% of the total variance, compared with the third factor, the gap is large. So, this article selects the first three factors, the cumulative contribution is rate more than 85%, meeting the cumulative contribution rate requirements for the factor analysis. The three factors contains variables most of the information.

Then the comprehensive index of investor sentiment has been finished by the principal component analysis (PCA). The IS’ s plus and minus represent the emotional state of the investors. If the IS>0, indicating that market investors sentiment is more optimistic and belongs to positive emotional states; If the IS<0, illustrating the more pessimistic investor sentiment changes, which belongs to the negative emotional States. By formula 3, IS index and the sentiment indicators have shown a certain relationship, which is consistent with the economic significance. The higher PER, TURN, CCI, SCIR, NIR, PER-1index and the lower the CEFD, the higher the market investor enthusiasm and the more active market transactions; it also can be seen that NIR has the greatest emotional impact, the value is 0.35, that is, controlling the other variables to remain unchanged, NIR increased by one percent, mood will increase by 35%.

2.2. General Entropy Optimization Model The word "entropy" comes from the Greek “(change)," which means the capacity of the change, the first introduced by German physicist Clausius (Clausius) in thermodynamics in 1856. In the evolution of the entropy theory, the most representative theories is the information theory founded by American mathematician wiener (Wiener) and Shannon (Shannon), having the epoch-making significance. In the process of the communication, they called the uncertainty of information sources as information entropy, the role of information as the elimination of the things uncertainty. The information entropy is defined as equation 4:

H piiln p (4)

In the formula, H represents the system entropy, pi represents a probability. In 1972, Csiszer defined such a measure: n p D(:)() p q q i  i (5) i 1 qi In the formula,  is the twice differentiable convex function, and (1) 0 , making: xx  (x )  ,  0,  1 (6)  1 So, 11nnpp D( p : q ) q (ii )   ( p  q 1-   1) (7) 2 i i i -1ii11qqii -1 This is Havrada-Charvat directional divergence measurements, which is the basis of constructing generalized entropy model in this paper.

According to the formula (6), let maxp D ( p : u ) represent the maximum value, then:

1  -1 maxp D( p : u ) ( u 1) (8) -1 Defining Hp() as:

145

1 n Hp() maxDpu (:)  Dpu (:)  u-1 (1  p ) (9)    i p -1 i 1 The model is based on the minimum cross entropy model, a "distance" formula, representing the difference between investment income and expected returns. If the value is smaller, indicating that when the investors make investments, the real return is closer to the expected returns, the risk is lower under the uncertainty relation. In the formula (9), u -1 can be any multiple as entropy measure form, simplifying the model: 1 n H( p ) (1 p  ) (10)  i -1 i 1

2.3 General Entropy Optimization Model with Investor Sentiment In making investment decisions, investors often tend to have a psychological bias, which cause they not be completely rational investment according to rational man hypothesis, so they were affected by many factors such as gender, psychological quality, and cultural degree and so on when they choose the stocks, namely investor sentiment. Based on past stock data and the sentiment comprehensive index, the market investor sentiment can be obtained. Based on the formula (10), giving the indicators of the formula the specific economic meaning, investor sentiment factors can be taken into account, thereby it can be more consistent with the actual situation of the investors when distribute the proportion of investment and ensure that the investors get their expected return. If we treat α as investor sentiment, we can get the generalized entropy investment decision model in the investment portfolio. Considering n stocks in all T time periods of stock return rate, πt represents the t time income accounting for the proportion of total revenue, its value can be obtained in the past stock data; rit represents the i stock in t time of stock return rate, so the expected return rate of the i stock is:

T r r, i 1,2, , n (11) it1 t it The variance and covariance can be expressed as:

T 22(r- r ) , i 1,2, , n  t 1 t it i (12) T    (r-) r( r -), r i , k  1,2,,; n i  k ikik t 1 titi kti

Assume that the proportion of the total investment will be allocated for each stock xi ( i = 1,2, ..., n n), then: n xx10, (13) i1 ii According to Markowitz mean - variance model, the portfolio's expected return and variance can be expressed as the formula (14), (15): n E x r i1 ii (14) nn V x2 22 x x    x 2  2 i11i i  i  i k i k ik i k i i (12), (13) into (14), available: T n n T V( r x-)() r x22  R  R (15) t1t  i  1 it i  i  1 i i  t  1 t t Among them, n R r x, ti1 it i (16) n n T T n T R r x  x r   r x   R i1i i  i  1 i  t  1 t it  t  1 t  i  1 it i  t  1 t t

Rt represents the portfolio investment income at the t stage, indicates the average earnings, namely

investors expected return. Meanwhile, Pt is defined as the probability of the stock returns for the t time period:

tRR t t t Pt T (17)  R R  k 1 kk Combining formula (10), (15), (17) can be:

146

11mmp  H( p ) ( p 11   1)  [ (jj )    1] 11jj11j jR j (18)  1m R 1 1 ( j  1)  (ER ( )  1) 11 j1 j RR

T In formula (18), RR  is on behalf of the investors expected return. In general condition, we t1 tt hope that this value remains the same, and therefore to simplified calculation, it can be omitted. Thus according to formula (15) and (11), (16), the formula (18) can reduce to equation (19):

1 n minH ( p ) [1  ( x r ) ] 1-  i1 t i i Tn s.. t x r c ti11t i i n x  1 (19)  i1 i

xi 0, i 1,2, , n   1

Wherein, α represents investor sentiment index, its value by formula (3) decided;  t represents the t time income accounting for the proportion of total revenue, ri is on behalf of stock returns within a certain period of time, c and is treated as investors expected return. In this chapter, c =0.012. This is the generalized entropy investment decision-making model of the portfolio analysis in this chapter.

3. EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS

3.1 Symbol Description (1) The Calculation of Stock Returns There are two common ways calculating the stock return rate: the percentage and the logarithm method. If the pt indicates the closing price of a stock at t time, pt-1 is the closing price of a stock at t-1 time; rt indicates return of a stock at the t moment, then the calculation formula of the percentage method and logarithmic method as the following formula (20):

rt()/ p t p t1 p t

pt (20) rt ln()()()  ln p t  ln p t 1 pt1 But in percentage yield formula, the range of the next phase yield is (-1, + ∞), does not meet the hypothesis of the real return rate obeying normal distribution. However, logarithmic method can remedy this defect, at the same time using the logarithmic method can make operation process simple, more suitable for modeling requirements of financial assets, so this paper uses the logarithmic method to calculate each stock return and this This paper selects a total of 84 month stock yields from 2008.01 to 2014.12 as the analysis object, πt represents the t mouth income accounting for the proportion of 84 months average yield, α is on behalf of the investors sentiment index for the market, and α≠1.

3.2 Data Selection Based on the generalized Entropy investment decision model established in this chapter, given that ordinary investors are risk-neutral or risk averse, so in the choice of stock, investors tend to invest in more stable stocks that can provide reliable support for the investors to make long-term investment. The ups and downs of the stock in China stock market, although in the short term it may receive higher returns, but it does not guarantee long-term continuous gains, and the stochastic volatility of this kind of stocks is too large. It is difficult to satisfy the premise of model building, so give up such stocks on the data selection. According to the nature of the portfolio, this paper selects the 24 stocks of 14 industry in the Shanghai stock market, electricity, real-estate, construction, finance, resident services and other services, mining, Agriculture, forestry and fisheries, wholesale and retail trade, software, water conservancy, culture, sports and entertainment, transportation, accommodation catering industry and leasing business service business and so on. There are Qianjiang Water Resources(600283), Guidong Electric Power Industry(600310), Hongcheng Water Industry(600461), Baoli Real Estate(600048), Nanjing High-Tech(600064), Shanghai Construction(600170), Minsheng Bank(600016), Merchants Bank(600036), Medium Body Industry(600158), Sinopec(600028),

From table 6, it can be concluded that in the generalized entropy model, when α=-0.4, the investors can choose China Petroleum(601857), China Unicom(600050), China International Trade(600007), Sinopec(600028) according to the proportion of investment, the objective function value is 0.8921; α=-0.2, the investors can choose China Unicom(600050), China International Trade(600007), China Petroleum (601857), Sinopec(600028), the objective function value is 0.9548; α=0.3, the investors can choose Merchants Bank(600036), Sinopec(600028), China Petroleum (601857), Nanjing High-Tech (600064), the objective function value is 1.1432; α=0.5, the investors can choose Merchants Bank(600036), Sinopec(600028), China Petroleum(601857), Qianjiang Water Resources(600283), the value is 1.5637; α=0.6, the investors can choose Merchants Bank(600036), China Petroleum(601857), Minsheng Bank(600016), Qianjiang Water Resources (600283), the value is 1.8492. According to equation (19), α is on behalf of investors sentiment, when the value of α is -0.4, -0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6, namely investor sentiment index is -0.4, -0.2, 0.3, 0.5, 0.6. Minus sign is on behalf of the investors in a negative attitude toward the market, meaning the market in the doldrums; plus sign represents the investors holding a positive attitude, the market is bullish, and the objective function value is 0.8921, 0.9548, 1.1432, 1.5637 and 1.8492 respectively. It finds that when investor sentiment is minus, the negative attitude of the market, the investors choose a more robust stock to invest to avoid the risks, so the objective function value is small, and the less risk, mainly to guarantee the principal. However, when investors are optimistic about the market, they tend to the higher interest stocks, showing the "profit" nature. In the pursuit of high returns is accompanied by a high risk, so the objective function value is high, meaning the risk degree is higher. Construction of generalized entropy investment decision model is basically consistent with economic theory.

Under the same investment interests situation, investors choose a lower risk of stock to invest, which have the certain reference significance to investors’ stocks selection. 3.4 Model Evaluation Making investment decisions, because of the influence of market external and internal factors, the investors obtain the return meanwhile they must take on different degrees of risk, which reflects the uncertainty of financial market. In addition to the influence of the above factors, the investors are also affected by their own psychological factors such as the degree of bearing risk, so it is different for every investor in the choice of individual stocks investment share proportion. The modern investment portfolio model is based on the analysis of the investors, under the uncertainty situation it can reasonably distributed stock share, so as to obtain a better income. The generalized entropy investment decision-making model constructed above covers the advantages both the maximum entropy criterion and the minimum cross entropy criterion, and takes into account the non- exponential problem in the portfolio problem. The paper also quantifies the investor sentiment, overcoming the shortcomings of the previous investment decision models. Considering the psychological behavior factors, the article optimizes the investment risk analysis, making investment decisions of investors are more in line with investors' mental bearing capacity. Passing verification, the model has some applicability and provides a new way of thinking for avoiding the system risk of the portfolio. But the model (19) also exists many defects, such as: on the selection of the data, because of ignoring a share dividend, dividends, suspension the stock market appeared and other factors, there may be some bias in the stock daily return process; Meanwhile, this paper does not give a more rigorous mathematical proof and reasoning process, which is the focus of future research.

4. CONCLUSIONS

Firstly, based on the study of sentiment indicators, this paper has selected six indicators to reflect the emotional state, which can be effectively quantify the investor sentiment, then building a comprehensive index system of investor sentiment. Secondly, based on entropy optimization theory, the risk of securities portfolio has been effectively processed and the generalized entropy model has been constructed. Combined with sentiment index system, the article has established the mood of generalized entropy investment decision model, thus the investors' psychology and behavior factors have been considered in the model, meeting the different investment trends and making up the inadequacy of previous quantitative models, more in line with the needs of investors. The model has not only extended the entropy optimization theory, but also taken into account the psychological factors of investors' investment. It can giving a more objective reference for investors to minimum the investment risk under the preconditions of a certain expect returns level and to maximize the investment revenue in certain level risk. Therefore the entropy optimization theory has been better applied to the securities investment field, which providing the reference value and practical significance for theory and practice.
