چکیده

Time series of financial asset values exhibit well known statistical features such as heavy tails and volatility clustering. We propose a nonparametric extension of the classical Peaks-Over-Threshold method from Extreme Value Theory to fit the time varying volatility in situations where the stationarity assumption may be violated by erratic changes of regime, say. As a result, we provide a method for estimating conditional risk measures applicable to both stationary and nonstationary series. A backtesting study for the UBS share price over the subprime crisis exemplifies our approach. JEL classification: C.11; C.14; C.22; G.10; G.21.

Copula-based nonlinear quantile autoregression

Parametric copulas are shown to be attractive devices for specifying quantile autoregressive models for nonlinear time-series. Estimation of local, quantile-specific copula-based time series models offers some salient advantages over classical global parametric approaches. Consistency and asymptotic normality of the proposed quantile estimators are established under mild conditions, allowing fo...

Quantile Double AR Time Series Models for Financial Returns

In this paper we develop a novel quantile double AR model for modelling financial time series. This is done by specifying a generalized lambda distribution to the quantile function of the location-scale double autoregressive model developed in Ling (2004, 2007). Model parameter estimation uses MCMC Bayesian methods. A novel simulation technique is introduced for forecasting the conditional dist...

Finite Sample Properties of Quantile Interrupted Time Series Analysis: A Simulation Study

Interrupted Time Series (ITS) analysis represents a powerful quasi-experime-ntal design in which a discontinuity is enforced at a specific intervention point in a time series, and separate regression functions are fitted before and after the intervention point. Segmented linear/quantile regression can be used in ITS designs to isolate intervention effects by estimating the sudden/level change (...

Extreme Quantile Estimation for Dependent Data with Applications to Finance

The asymptotic normality of a class of estimators for extreme quantiles is established under mild structural conditions on the observed stationary β–mixing time series. Consistent estimators of the asymptotic variance are introduced, which render possible the construction of asymptotic confidence intervals for the extreme quantiles. Moreover, it is shown that many well-known time series models ...

Confidence Bands in Quantile Regression and Generalized Dynamic Semiparametric Factor Models

In many applications it is necessary to know the stochastic fluctuation of the maximal deviations of the nonparametric quantile estimates, e.g. for various parametric models check. Uniform confidence bands are therefore constructed for nonparametric quantile estimates of regression functions. The first method is based on the strong approximations of the empirical process and extreme value theor...
