Analysis of stock market indices through multidimensional scaling
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose a graphical method to visualize possible time-varying correlations between fifteen stock market values. The method is useful for observing stable or emerging clusters of stock markets with similar behaviour. The graphs, originated from applying multidimensional scaling techniques (MDS), may also guide the construction of multivariate econometric models. 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Analysis of Stock Market Indices with Multidimensional Scaling and Wavelets
Stock market indices SMIs are important measures of financial and economical performance. Considerable research efforts during the last years demonstrated that these signals have a chaotic nature and require sophisticated mathematical tools for analyzing their characteristics. Classical methods, such as the Fourier transform, reveal considerable limitations in discriminating different periods o...
متن کاملMultidimensional Scaling Visualization Using Parametric Similarity Indices
Abstract: In this paper, we apply multidimensional scaling (MDS) and parametric similarity indices (PSI) in the analysis of complex systems (CS). Each CS is viewed as a dynamical system, exhibiting an output time-series to be interpreted as a manifestation of its behavior. We start by adopting a sliding window to sample the original data into several consecutive time periods. Second, we define ...
متن کاملStock market analysis using Multidimensional Scaling
We describe the application of a statistical technique known as Multidimensional Scaling to analyze & model a stock market. We have reviewed a set of novel papers in this field, and report on the current state of the art. The strength of this approach is in it’s ease of implementation, effective visualization and dynamic nature.We give a brief introduction to MDS, and state the assumptions & pr...
متن کاملA pr 2 00 7 Stock market return distributions : from past to present
We show that recent stock market fluctuations are characterized by the cumulative distributions whose tails on short, minute time scales exhibit power scaling with the scaling index α > 3 and this index tends to increase quickly with decreasing sampling frequency. Our study is based on high-frequency recordings of the S&P500, DAX and WIG20 indices over the interval May 2004 May 2006. Our findin...
متن کاملLong-term memories of developed and emerging markets: Using the scaling analysis to characterize their stage of development
The scaling properties encompass in a simple analysis many of the volatility characteristics of financial markets. That is why we use them to probe the different degree of markets development. We empirically study the scaling properties of daily Foreign Exchange rates, Stock Market indices and fixed income instruments by using the generalized Hurst approach. We show that the scaling exponents a...
