Book excerpt: The idea of writing this bookarosein 2000when the ?rst author wasassigned to teach the required course STATS 240 (Statistical Methods in Finance) in the new M. S. program in ?nancial mathematics at Stanford, which is an interdisciplinary program that aims to provide a master’s-level education in applied mathematics, statistics, computing, ?nance, and economics. Students in the programhad di?erent backgroundsin statistics. Some had only taken a basic course in statistical inference, while others had taken a broad spectrum of M. S. - and Ph. D. -level statistics courses. On the other hand, all of them had already taken required core courses in investment theory and derivative pricing, and STATS 240 was supposed to link the theory and pricing formulas to real-world data and pricing or investment strategies. Besides students in theprogram,thecoursealso attractedmanystudentsfromother departments in the university, further increasing the heterogeneity of students, as many of them had a strong background in mathematical and statistical modeling from the mathematical, physical, and engineering sciences but no previous experience in ?nance. To address the diversity in background but common strong interest in the subject and in a potential career as a “quant” in the ?nancialindustry,thecoursematerialwascarefullychosennotonlytopresent basic statistical methods of importance to quantitative ?nance but also to summarize domain knowledge in ?nance and show how it can be combined with statistical modeling in ?nancial analysis and decision making. The course material evolved over the years, especially after the second author helped as the head TA during the years 2004 and 2005.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2003 in the subject Mathematics - Statistics, grade: 2.0 (B), European University Viadrina Frankfurt (Oder), language: English, abstract: Today the financial market becomes more complex and includes more competition. Reasons are trends like globalization, liberalization and lower-cost trading mechanism. The market microstructure research has the aim of an efficient market. It is focused on the structure of the financial market. The investigation becomes possible through the availability of high- frequency data. Those data exist especially in the United States and like that most of the research focuses this market. To explain the phenomena, which have been found adequate, models that fit the characteristics of high- frequency data have to be developed. The research is important to understand actions on the market as well as develop new efficient mechanism. One part of the market microstructure field is the bid-ask spread. It will be focus of this paper. In the first two parts it will be discussed theoretically. In the last part one model will be empirically analyzed and tested on its usefulness and validity. The second part of this paper explains the basic elements surrounding the research of bid-ask spread. Those are the financial market, market microstructure as well as high-frequency data. In the following part the bid-ask spread itself, approaches, researches and models focussing the spread will be discussed. The model of Roll (1984) will be explained in detail. The last part will be the empirical analysis of the model of Roll. It is analyzed with data from the NASDAQ.

This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Intelligent pattern recognition imposes new challenges in high-frequency financial data mining due to its irregularities and roughness. Based on the wavelet transform for decomposing systematic patterns and noise, in this paper we propose a new integrated wavelet denoising method, named smoothnessoriented wavelet denoising algorithm (SOWDA), that optimally determines the wavelet function, maximal level of decomposition, and the threshold rule by using a smoothness score function that simultaneously detects the global and local extrema. We discuss the properties of our method and propose a new evaluation procedure to show its robustness. In addition, we apply this method both in simulation and empirical investigation. Both the simulation results based on three typical stylized features of financial data and the empirical results in analyzing high-frequency financial data from Frankfurt Stock Exchange confirm that SOWDA significantly (based on the RMSE comparison) improves the performance of classical econometric models after denoising the data with the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform (MODWT) methods.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive introduction to the statistical and econometric methods for analyzing high-frequency financial data High-frequency trading is an algorithm-based computerized trading practice that allows firms to trade stocks in milliseconds. Over the last fifteen years, the use of statistical and econometric methods for analyzing high-frequency financial data has grown exponentially. This growth has been driven by the increasing availability of such data, the technological advancements that make high-frequency trading strategies possible, and the need of practitioners to analyze these data. This comprehensive book introduces readers to these emerging methods and tools of analysis. Yacine Aït-Sahalia and Jean Jacod cover the mathematical foundations of stochastic processes, describe the primary characteristics of high-frequency financial data, and present the asymptotic concepts that their analysis relies on. Aït-Sahalia and Jacod also deal with estimation of the volatility portion of the model, including methods that are robust to market microstructure noise, and address estimation and testing questions involving the jump part of the model. As they demonstrate, the practical importance and relevance of jumps in financial data are universally recognized, but only recently have econometric methods become available to rigorously analyze jump processes. Aït-Sahalia and Jacod approach high-frequency econometrics with a distinct focus on the financial side of matters while maintaining technical rigor, which makes this book invaluable to researchers and practitioners alike.

This book was released on 2018-07-02 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a systematic explanation of the SIML (Separating Information Maximum Likelihood) method, a new approach to financial econometrics. Considerable interest has been given to the estimation problem of integrated volatility and covariance by using high-frequency financial data. Although several new statistical estimation procedures have been proposed, each method has some desirable properties along with some shortcomings that call for improvement. For estimating integrated volatility, covariance, and the related statistics by using high-frequency financial data, the SIML method has been developed by Kunitomo and Sato to deal with possible micro-market noises. The authors show that the SIML estimator has reasonable finite sample properties as well as asymptotic properties in the standard cases. It is also shown that the SIML estimator has robust properties in the sense that it is consistent and asymptotically normal in the stable convergence sense when there are micro-market noises, micro-market (non-linear) adjustments, and round-off errors with the underlying (continuous time) stochastic process. Simulation results are reported in a systematic way as are some applications of the SIML method to the Nikkei-225 index, derived from the major stock index in Japan and the Japanese financial sector.

This book was released on 1998-07-09 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nonlinear Modelling of High Frequency Financial Time Series Edited by Christian Dunis and Bin Zhou In the competitive and risky environment of today's financial markets, daily prices and models based upon low frequency price series data do not provide the level of accuracy required by traders and a growing number of risk managers. To improve results, more and more researchers and practitioners are turning to high frequency data. Nonlinear Modelling of High Frequency Financial Time Series presents the latest developments and views of leading international researchers and market practitioners, in modelling high frequency data in finance. Combining both nonlinear modelling and intraday data for financial markets, the editors provide a fascinating foray into this extremely popular discipline. This book evolves around four major themes. The first introductory section focuses on high frequency financial data. The second part examines the exact nature of the time series considered: several linearity tests are presented and applied and their modelling implications assessed. The third and fourth parts are dedicated to modelling and forecasting these financial time series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The financial econometrics literature on Ultra High-Frequency Data (UHFD)has been growing steadily in recent years. However, it is not always straightforward to construct time series of interest from the raw data and the consequences of data handling procedures on the subsequent statistical analysis are not fully understood. Some results could be sample or asset specific and in this paper we address some of these issues focussing on the data produced by the New York Stock Exchange, summarizing the structure of their TAQ ultra high-frequency dataset. We review and present a number of methods for the handling of UHFD, and explain the rationale and implications of using such algorithms. We then propose procedures to construct the time series of interest from the raw data. Finally, we examine the impact of data handling on statistical modeling within the context of financial durations ACD models.

Download or read book Estimation of NIG and VG Models for High Frequency Financial Data written by Jose E. Figueroa-Lopez and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Numerous empirical studies have shown that certain exponential Levy models are able to fit the empirical distribution of daily financial returns quite well. By contrast, very few papers have considered intraday data in spite of their growing importance. In this paper, we fill this gap by studying the ability of the Normal Inverse Gaussian (NIG) and the Variance Gamma (VG) models to fit the statistical features of intraday data at different sampling frequencies. We propose to assess the suitability of the model by analyzing the signature plots of the point estimates at different sampling frequencies. Using high frequency transaction data from the U.S. equity market, we find the estimator of the volatility parameter to be quite stable at a wide range of intraday frequencies, in sharp contrast to the estimator of the kurtosis parameter, which is more sensitive to market microstructure effects. As a secondary contribution, we also assess the performance of the two most favored parametric estimation methods, the Method of Moments Estimators (MME) and the Maximum Likelihood Estimators (MLE), when dealing with high frequency observations. By Monte Carlo simulations, we show that neither high frequency sampling nor maxi- mum likelihood estimation significantly reduces the estimation error of the volatility parameter of the model. On the contrary, the estimation error of the parameter controlling the kurtosis of log returns can be significantly reduced by using MLE and high-frequency sampling. Both of these results appear to be new in the literature on statistical analysis of high frequency data.

This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 25 years, applied econometrics has undergone tremen dous changes, with active developments in fields of research such as time series, labor econometrics, financial econometrics and simulation based methods. Time series analysis has been an active field of research since the seminal work by Box and Jenkins (1976), who introduced a gen eral framework in which time series can be analyzed. In the world of financial econometrics and the application of time series techniques, the ARCH model of Engle (1982) has shifted the focus from the modelling of the process in itself to the modelling of the volatility of the process. In less than 15 years, it has become one of the most successful fields of 1 applied econometric research with hundreds of published papers. As an alternative to the ARCH modelling of the volatility, Taylor (1986) intro duced the stochastic volatility model, whose features are quite similar to the ARCH specification but which involves an unobserved or latent component for the volatility. While being more difficult to estimate than usual GARCH models, stochastic volatility models have found numerous applications in the modelling of volatility and more particularly in the econometric part of option pricing formulas. Although modelling volatil ity is one of the best known examples of applied financial econometrics, other topics (factor models, present value relationships, term structure 2 models) were also successfully tackled.

Download or read book Multi Scale Jump and Volatility Analysis for High Frequency Financial Data written by Jianqing Fan and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The wide availability of high-frequency data for many financial instruments stimulates a upsurge interest in statistical research on the estimation of volatility. Jump-diffusion processes observed with market microstructure noise are frequently used to model high-frequency financial data. Yet, existing methods are developed for either noisy data from a continuous diffusion price model or data from a jump-diffusion price model without noise. We propose methods to cope with both jumps in the price and market microstructure noise in the observed data. They allow us to estimate both integrated volatility and jump variation from the data sampled from jump-diffusion price processes, contaminated with the market microstructure noise. Our approach is to first remove jumps from the data and then apply a noise-resistent method to estimated the integrated volatility. The asymptotic analysis and the simulation study reveal that the proposed wavelet methods can successfully remove the jumps in the price processes and the integrated volatility can be estimated as well as the case with no presence of jumps in the price processes. In addition, they have outstanding statistical efficiency. The methods are illustrated by applications to two high-frequency exchange rate data sets.

This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The availability of high-frequency financial data in the last 20 years has led to a rich literature on its estimation and forecasting. Motivated by the challenges in utilizing high-frequency financial data, we decide to investigate the problem of estimating and forecasting return volatility, taking into account the presence of market microstructure noise, jump, and time endogeneity. With this target in mind, we solve the volatility estimation problem by combining several existing methods with our Laplace estimator of volatility. We also investigate the forecasting problem by employing linear regression models. Furthermore, we apply a standard data cleaning procedure to reduce the potential impact of outliers and errors. After trimming, we are able to draw a robust conclusion across a variety of different linear regression models. The process leads to a better understanding of utilizing high-frequency financial data and its application in volatility forecasting.
