Researchers have developed a novel clustering framework that leverages Stochastic Dominance (SD) theory and machine learning to better group assets based on risk preferences. This approach moves beyond traditional geometric distance metrics by utilizing SD test statistics to create a "Stochastic Dominance Coefficient Matrix." The paper details modifications to K-means and Hierarchical Clustering algorithms, resulting in 12 variants, and introduces specialized validity indices. Empirical analysis on US NASDAQ and China CSI 100 index data confirmed the method's effectiveness, with applications shown in portfolio optimization for investors with varying risk appetites. AI
