Search for: [Abstrakt = "The beta parameter is a popular tool for the evaluation of portfolio performance. The Sharpe single\-index model is a simple regression model in which the stock’s returns are regressed against the returns of a broader index. The beta parameter is a measure of the strength of this relation. Extensive recent research has proved that the beta is not constant in time and should be modelled as a time\-variant coefficient. One of the most popular methods of the estimation of a time\-varying beta is the Kalman filter. As the output of the Kalman filter, one obtains a sequence of the estimates of a time\-varying beta. This sequence shows the historical dynamics of sensitivity of a company’s returns to the variations of market returns. The article proposes a method of clustering companies listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange according to time\-varying betas"]
