Multivariate Nonparametric Volatility Density Estimation
We consider a continuous-time stochastic volatility model. The model contains a stationary volatility process, the multivariate density of the finite dimensional distributions of which we aim to estimate. We assume that we observe the process at discrete instants in time. The sampling times will be equidistant with vanishing distance. A multivariate Fourier-type deconvolution kernel density est...
متن کاملA Fourier transform method for nonparametric estimation of multivariate volatility
We provide a nonparametric method for the computation of instantaneous multivariate volatility for continuous semi-martingales, which is based on Fourier analysis. The co-volatility is reconstructed as a stochastic function of time by establishing a connection between the Fourier transform of the prices process and the Fourier transform of the co-volatility process. A nonparametric estimator is...
متن کاملA nonparametric test of market timing
In this paper, we propose a nonparametric test for market timing ability and apply the analysis to a large sample of mutual funds that have different benchmark indices. The test statistic is formed to proxy the probability that a manager loads on more market risk when the market return is relatively high. The test (i) only requires the ex post returns of funds and their benchmark portfolios; (i...
متن کاملBayesian Nonparametric Modelling of the Return Distribution with Stochastic Volatility
This paper presents a method for Bayesian nonparametric analysis of the return distribution in a stochastic volatility model. The distribution of the logarithm of the squared return is flexibly modelled using an infinite mixture of Normal distributions. This allows efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo methods to be developed. Links between the return distribution and the distribution of the logar...
متن کاملA High-Dimensional Nonparametric Multivariate Test for Mean Vector.
This work is concerned with testing the population mean vector of nonnormal high-dimensional multivariate data. Several tests for high-dimensional mean vector, based on modifying the classical Hotelling T2 test, have been proposed in the literature. Despite their usefulness, they tend to have unsatisfactory power performance for heavy-tailed multivariate data, which frequently arise in genomics...
