A Multivariate Random Walk Model with Slowly Changing Drift and Cross-correlation Applied to Finance
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new multivariate random walk model with slowly changing drift and cross-correlations for multivariate processes is introduced and investigated in detail. In the model, not only the drifts and the cross-covariances but also the cross-correlations between single series are allowed to change slowly over time. The model can accompany any number of components such as many number of assets. The model is particularly useful for modelling and forecasting the value of financial portfolios under very complex market conditions. Kernel estimation of local covariance matrix is used. The integrated effect of the estimation errors involved in estimating the integrated processes is derived. Practical relevance of the model and estimation is illustrated by application to several foreign exchange rates.

In the Persian Gulf, the major source of oil pollution is related to the transportation of tankers, offshore production and discharges by coastal refineries. The water dynamical field has been obtained using a new hydrodynamic model. Local wind is recognized as the principal driving force combining to the water dynamic field to determine oil drift on the sea surface. The Weibull probability dis...

In this study, linear and nonlinear methods were used to model forecasting performances on the daily crude oil production data of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). The linear model considered here is the random walk with drift, while the nonlinear model is the feed forward neural network model. The results indicate that nonlinear methods have better forecasting performance gre...
متن کاملSums of exponentials of random walks with drift
For many time series in empirical macro and finance, it is assumed that the logarithms of the series is a unit root processes. This assumption implies that the level of such a time series is the exponential of a unit root process. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the behavior of such time series prior to taking their logarithms. This paper shows that the sum of the exponential of a r...
