Forecasting Daily Volatility Using Range-based Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
Users of agricultural markets frequently need to establish accurate representations of expected future volatility. The fact that range-based volatility estimators are highly efficient has been acknowledged in the literature. However, it is not clear whether using range-based data leads to better risk management decisions. This paper compares the performance of GARCH models, range-based GARCH models, and log-range based ARMA models in terms of their forecasting abilities. The realized volatility will be used as the forecasting evaluation criteria. The conclusion helps establish an efficient forecasting framework for volatility models.

Nonlinear Connections Between Realized Volatility and High/Low Range Information
In this paper we look at the relationship between daily realized volatility estimates using intraday data and range based estimates using daily high/low price range information. Several classical range based volatility estimators are compared with nonlinear functional forms in mapping range based information onto realized volatility measures. We find that the older range based estimators can be...

Study of volatility has been considered by the academics and decision makers dur-ing two last decades. First since the volatility has been a risk criterion it has been used by many decision makers and activists in capital market. Over the years it has been of more importance because of the effect of volatility on economy and capital markets stability for stocks, bonds, and foreign exchange mark...
متن کاملGaussian Processes and Non-parametric Volatility Forecasting
We provide a formulation of stochastic volatility based on Gaussian processes, a flexible framework for Bayesian nonlinear regression. The advantage of using Gaussian processes in this context is to place volatility forecastingwithin a regression framework; this allows a large number of explanatory variables to be used for forecasting, a task difficult with standard volatility-forecasting formu...
متن کاملThe Stock Returns Volatility based on the GARCH (1,1) Model: The Superiority of the Truncated Standard Normal Distribution in Forecasting Volatility
I n this paper, we specify that the GARCH(1,1) model has strong forecasting volatility and its usage under the truncated standard normal distribution (TSND) is more suitable than when it is under the normal and student-t distributions. On the contrary, no comparison was tried between the forecasting performance of volatility of the daily return series using the multi-step ahead forec...
متن کاملVolatility forecasting using threshold heteroskedastic models of the intra-day range
This paper provides an effective approach for forecasting return volatility via threshold heteroskedastic models of the daily asset price range, defined as the difference between the highest and lowest log asset price recorded throughout the day. We propose a general model specification, allowing the intra-day high-low price range to depend nonlinearly on past information, or an exogenous varia...
