Forecasting financial market activity using a semiparametric fractionally integrated Log-ACD

چکیده
This paper discusses forecasting of long memory and a nonparametric scale function in nonnegative financial processes based on a fractionally integrated Log-ACD (FILog-ACD) and its semiparametric extension (Semi-FI-Log-ACD). Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a stationary solution of the FI-Log-ACD are obtained. Properties of this model under log-normal assumption are summarized. A linear predictor based on the truncated AR(∞) form of the logarithmic process is proposed. It is shown that this proposal is an approximately best linear predictor. Approximate variances of the prediction errors for an individual observation and for the conditional mean are obtained. Forecasting intervals for these quantities in the logand the original processes are calculated under log-normal assumption. The proposals are applied to forecasting daily trading volumes and daily trading numbers in financial market.

Implied Volatility Forecasting: A Comparison of Different Procedures Including Fractionally Integrated Models with Applications to UK Equity Options
The purpose of this paper is to consider how to forecast implied volatility for a selection of UK companies with traded options on their stocks. We consider a range of GARCH and logARFIMA based models as well as some simple forecasting rules. Overall, we find that a logARFIMA model forecasts best over short and long horizons. Key-words : Implied Volatility, Forecasting, ARFIMA, GARCH, log-ARFIM...
متن کاملCan GARCH Models Capture the Long-Range Dependence in Financial Market Volatility?∗
This paper investigates if component GARCH models introduced by Engle and Lee (1999) and Ding and Granger (1996) can capture the long-range dependence observed in measures of time-series volatility. Long-range dependence is assessed through the sample autocorrelations, two popular semiparametric estimators of the long-memory parameter, and the parametric fractionally integrated GARCH (FIGARCH) ...
متن کاملInflation, Forecast Intervals and Long Memory Regression Models
We examine recursive out-of-sample forecasting of monthly postwar U.S. core inflation and log price levels. We use the autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average model with explanatory variables (ARFIMAX). Our analysis suggests a significant explanatory power of leading indicators associated with macroeconomic activity and monetary conditions for forecasting horizons up to two years....
متن کاملTesting the Conditional Mean Function of Autoregressive Conditional Duration Models
In this paper, we suggest and evaluate specification tests to test the validity of the conditional mean function implied by Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD) models. We propose Lagrange multiplier tests against sign bias alternatives, various types of conditional moment tests and integrated conditional moment tests which are consistent against all possible alternatives. In a Monte-Carlo...
