Bollerslev’s (1986) standard GARCH(1,1) model has been successful in the literature of volatility modelling and forecasting in the past two decades. Many of its extensions are contributed to examine the stylized features often observed with financial asset data. One of the distinct success is Bollerslev and Ghysels’ (1996) periodic GARCH model, which takes into account periodic variation in the...

In the recent years, the use of GARCH type (especially, ARMA-GARCH) models and computational-intelligence-based techniques—Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Relevance Vector Machine (RVM) have been successfully used for financial forecasting. This paper deals with the application of ARMA-GARCH, recurrent SVM (RSVM) and recurrent RVM (RRVM) in volatility forecasting. Based on RSVM and RRVM, two G...

With the increase of wind power as a renewable energy source in many countries, wind speed forecasting has become more and more important to the planning of wind speed plants, the scheduling of dispatchable generation and tariffs in the day-ahead electricity market, and the operation of power systems. However, the uncertainty of wind speed makes troubles in them. For this reason, a wind speed f...

The log returns of financial time series are usually modeled by means of the stationary GARCH(1,1) stochastic process or its generalizations which can not properly describe the nonstationary deterministic components of the original series. We analyze the influence of deterministic trends on the GARCH(1,1) parameters using Monte Carlo simulations. The statistical ensembles contain numerically ge...

In this paper the value at risk (VaR) forecasts are compared using three different GARCH models; ARCH(1), GARCH(1,1) and EGARCH(1,1). The implemented method is a one-day ahead out of sample forecast of the VaR. The forecasts are evaluated using the Kupiec test with a five percent significance level. The focus is on three different markets; commodities, equities and exchange rates. The goal of t...

Financial time series such as stock prices, inflation rates, interest and exchange rates are known to exhibit upward downward trend often possesses long memory volatility behavior. These behaviors crucial in the analysis, modeling forecasting of data. Unfortunately, many analysts don’t take into consideration consequences while financial Therefore, this paper intends examine effect Exchange Rat...

The study has two aims. The first aim is to propose a family of nonlinear GARCH models that incorporate fractional integration and asymmetric power properties to MS-GARCH processes. The second purpose of the study is to augment the MS-GARCH type models with artificial neural networks to benefit from the universal approximation properties to achieve improved forecasting accuracy. Therefore, the ...

The skewness in physical distributions of equity index returns and the implied volatility skew in the risk neutral measure are subjects of extensive academic research. Much attention is now being focused on models that are able to capture time-varying conditional skewness and kurtosis. For this reason normal mixture GARCH(1,1) models have become very popular in financial econometrics. We introd...

Spatio-temporal forecasting has various applications in climate, transportation, geo-statistics, sociology, economics and many other fields of study. The modelling temperature its is a challenging task due to spatial dependency time series data nonlinear nature. To address these challenges, this study we proposed hybrid Space–Time Autoregressive Moving Average-Generalized Conditional Heterosced...

This paper develops a closed-form option pricing formula for a spot asset whose variance follows a GARCH process. The model allows for correlation between returns of the spot asset and variance and also admits multiple lags in the dynamics of the GARCH process. The single-factor (one-lag) version of this model contains Heston’s (1993) stochastic volatility model as a diffusion limit and therefo...
