Multiple-change-point detection for auto-regressive conditional heteroscedastic processes
The emergence of the recent financial crisis, during which markets frequently underwent changes in their statistical structure over a short period of time, illustrates the importance of non-stationary modelling in financial time series. Motivated by this observation, we propose a fast, well performing and theoretically tractable method for detecting multiple change points in the structure of an...
متن کاملPrediction of Financial Downside-Risk with Heavy-Tailed Conditional Distributions
The use of GARCH models with stable Paretian innovations in financial modeling has been recently suggested in the literature. This class of processes is attractive because it allows for conditional skewness and leptokurtosis of financial returns without ruling out normality. This contribution illustrates their usefulness in predicting the downside risk of financial assets in the context of mode...
متن کاملQuantile Optimization for Heavy-tailed Distributions Using Asymmetric Signum Functions
In this paper, we present a provably convergent algorithm for computing the quantile of a random variable that does not require storing all of the sample realizations. We then present an algorithm for optimizing the quantile of a random function which may be characterized by a heavy-tailed distribution where the expectation is not defined. The algorithm is illustrated in the context of electric...

متن کاملStochastic Volatility Models: Conditional Normality versus Heavy-Tailed Distributions
Most of the empirical applications of the stochatic volatility (SV) model are based on the assumption that the conditional distribution of returns given the latent volatility process is normal. In this paper the SV model based on a conditional normal distribution is compared with SV speciications using conditional heavy-tailed distributions, especially Student's t-distribution and the generaliz...
