There are two mainstream econometric models which are very popular in recent decades. One is quantile autoregressive (QAR) model which allows varying-coefficients in linear time series and greatly promotes the ranges of regression research. The first topic of this thesis is to focus on the modeling of QAR model. We propose two important measures, quantile correlation (QCOR) and quantile partial correlation (QPCOR). We then apply them to QAR models, and introduce two valuable quantities, the quantile autocorrelation function (QACF) and the quantile partial autocorrelation function (QPACF). This allows us to extend the Box-Jenkins three-stage procedure (model identification, model parameter estimation, and model diagnostic checking) from classical autoregressive models to quantile autoregressive models. Specifically, the QPACF of an observed time series can be employed to identify the autoregressive order, while the QACF of residuals obtained from the model can be used to assess the model adequacy. We not only demonstrate the asymptotic properties of QCOR, QPCOR, QACF and PQACF, but also show the large sample results of the QAR estimates and the quantile version of the Ljung- Box test. Moreover, we obtain the bootstrap approximations to the distributions of parameter estimators and proposed measures. Simulation studies indicate that the proposed methods perform well in finite samples, and an empirical example is presented to illustrate the usefulness of QAR model. The other important econometric model is autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) model which is developed with the purpose of depicting ultra high frequency (UHF) financial time series data. The second topic of this thesis is designed to incorporate ACD model with one of the extreme value distributions, i.e. Frechet distribution. We apply the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) to Frechet ACD models and derive its generalized residuals for model adequacy checking. It is noteworthy that simulations show a relative greater sensitiveness in the linear parameters to sampling errors. This phenomenon successfully reflects the skewness of the Frechet distribution and suggests a method to practitioners in proceeding model accuracy. Furthermore, we present the empirical sizes and powers for Box-Pierce, Ljung-Box and modified Box-Pierce statistics as comparisons of the proposed portmanteau statistic. In addition to the Frechet ACD, we also systematically analyze theWeibull ACD, where the Weibull distribution is the other nonnegative extreme value distribution. The last topic of the thesis explains the estimation and diagnostic checking the Weibull ACD model. By investigating the MLE in this model, there exhibits a slight sensitiveness in linear parameters. However, there is an obvious phenomenon on the trade-off between the skewness of Weibull distribution and the sampling error when the simulations are conducted. Moreover, the asymptotic properties are also studied for the generalized residuals and a goodness-of-fit test is employed to obtain a portmanteau statistic. Through the simulation results in size and power, it shows that Weibull ACD is superior to Frechet ACD in specifying the wrong model. This is meaningful in practice.

This book also includes several statistical approaches, e.g., discriminant analysis, the empirical likelihood method, control variate method, quantile regression, realized volatility etc., which have been recently developed and are considered to be powerful tools for analyzing the financial data, establishing a new bridge between time series and financial engineering. This book is well suited as a professional reference book on finance, statistics and statistical financial engineering. Readers are expected to have an undergraduate-level knowledge of statistics.

Book Statistical Inference in Multifractal Random Walk Models for Financial Time Series

Download or read book Statistical Inference in Multifractal Random Walk Models for Financial Time Series written by Cristina Sattarhoff and published by Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der Wissenschaften. This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dynamics of financial returns varies with the return period, from high-frequency data to daily, quarterly or annual data. Multifractal Random Walk models can capture the statistical relation between returns and return periods, thus facilitating a more accurate representation of real price changes. This book provides a generalized method of moments estimation technique for the model parameters with enhanced performance in finite samples, and a novel testing procedure for multifractality. The resource-efficient computer-based manipulation of large datasets is a typical challenge in finance. In this connection, this book also proposes a new algorithm for the computation of heteroscedasticity and autocorrelation consistent (HAC) covariance matrix estimators that can cope with large datasets.

Book Statistical Inference for Poisson Time Series Models

Download or read book Statistical Inference for Poisson Time Series Models written by Abdullah Maedh Almarashi and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are many nonlinear econometric models which are useful in analysis of financial time series. In this thesis, we consider two kinds of nonlinear autoregressive models for nonnegative integer-valued time series: threshold autoregressive models and Markov switching models, in which the conditional distribution given historical information is the Poisson distribution. The link between the conditional variance (i.e. the conditional mean for the Poisson distribution) and its past values as well as the observed values of the Poisson process may be different according to the threshold variable in threshold autoregressive models, and to an unobservable state variable in Markov switching models in different regimes. We give a condition on parameters under which the Poisson generalized threshold autoregressive heteroscedastic (PTGARCH) process can be approximated by a geometrically ergodic process. Under this condition, we discuss statistical inference (estimation and tests) for PTGARCH models, and give the asymptotic theory on the inference. The complete structure of the threshold autoregressive model is not exactly specific in economic theory for the most financial applications of the model. In particular, the number of regimes, the value of threshold and the delay parameter are often unknown and cannot be assumed known. Therefore, in this research, the performance of various information criteria for choosing the number of regimes, the threshold value and the delay parameters for different sample sizes is investigated. Tests for threshold nonlinearity are applied. The characteristics of Markovian switching Poisson generalized autoregressive hetero-scedastic (MS-PGARCH) models are given, and the maximum likelihood estimation of parameters is discussed. Simulation studies and applications to modelling financial counting time series are presented to support our methodology for both the PTGARCH model and the MS-PGARCH model.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains several innovative models for the prices of financial assets. First published in 1986, it is a classic text in the area of financial econometrics. It presents ARCH and stochastic volatility models that are often used and cited in academic research and are applied by quantitative analysts in many banks. Another often-cited contribution of the first edition is the documentation of statistical characteristics of financial returns, which are referred to as stylized facts.This second edition takes into account the remarkable progress made by empirical researchers during the past two decades from 1986 to 2006. In the new Preface, the author summarizes this progress in two key areas: firstly, measuring, modelling and forecasting volatility; and secondly, detecting and exploiting price trends.

Book Time Series Models

Download or read book Time Series Models written by D.R. Cox and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2020-11-26 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The analysis prediction and interpolation of economic and other time series has a long history and many applications. Major new developments are taking place, driven partly by the need to analyze financial data. The five papers in this book describe those new developments from various viewpoints and are intended to be an introduction accessible to readers from a range of backgrounds. The book arises out of the second Seminaire European de Statistique (SEMSTAT) held in Oxford in December 1994. This brought together young statisticians from across Europe, and a series of introductory lectures were given on topics at the forefront of current research activity. The lectures form the basis for the five papers contained in the book. The papers by Shephard and Johansen deal respectively with time series models for volatility, i.e. variance heterogeneity, and with cointegration. Clements and Hendry analyze the nature of prediction errors. A complementary review paper by Laird gives a biometrical view of the analysis of short time series. Finally Astrup and Nielsen give a mathematical introduction to the study of option pricing. Whilst the book draws its primary motivation from financial series and from multivariate econometric modelling, the applications are potentially much broader.
