In this article, we propose a novel application for Support Vector Regression (SVR) for strategies of executing orders on stock exchanges. We use SVR for predicting volume participation function in execution strategies which try to achieve Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) measure of quality of the execution. Moreover, we use SVR with a priori knowledge about stock prices in order to further...

We characterize the joint dynamics of expected returns, stochastic volatility, and prices. In particular, with a given dividend process, one of the processes of the expected return, the stock volatility, or the price-dividend ratio fully determines the other two. For example, the stock volatility determines the expected return and the price-dividend ratio. By parameterizing one, or more, of exp...
