Connected teaching of statistics

Härdle, Wolfgang; Klinke, Sigbert; Marron, James Stephen - 1999

Statistics is considered to be a difficult science since it requires a variety of skills including handling of quantitative data, graphical insights as well as mathematical ability. Yet ever increasing special knowledge of statistics is demanded since data of increasing complexity and size need...

Teaching wavelets in XploRe

Klinke, Sigbert; Golubev, Yuri; Härdle, Wolfgang; … - 1997

Teachware is a set of computer software tools for computeraided interactive teaching of certain knowledge elements. The construction of teachware for statistical knowledge is a rather young field since it heavily depends on data structures and graphical interaction possibilities. In this paper...

High-dimensional statistical learning techniques for time-varying limit order book networks

Chen, Shi; Härdle, Wolfgang; Schienle, Melanie - 2021

This paper provides statistical learning techniques for determining the full own-price market impact and the relevance and effect of cross-price and cross-asset spillover channels from intraday transactions data. The novel tools allow extracting comprehensive information contained in the limit...

Optimal Smoothing for aComputationally andStatistically Efficient SingleIndex Estimator

Xia, Yingcun; Härdle, Wolfgang; Linton, Oliver - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin> - 2009

In semiparametric models it is a common approach to under-smooth the nonparametric functions inorder that estimators of the finite dimensional parameters can achieve root-n consistency. The requirementof under-smoothing may result as we show from inefficient estimation methods or technical...

Measuring and Modeling Risk Using High-Frequency Data

Härdle, Wolfgang; Hautsch, Nikolaus; Pigorsch, Uta - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin> - 2008

Measuring and modeling financial volatility is the key to derivative pricing, asset allocation and risk management. The recent availability of high-frequency data allows for refined methods in this field. In particular, more precise measures for the daily or lower frequency volatility can be...

Numerics of Implied Binomial Trees

Härdle, Wolfgang; Mysickova, Alena - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin> - 2008

Market option prices in last 20 years confirmed deviations from the Black and Scholes (BS) models assumptions, especially on the BS implied volatility. Implied binomialtrees (IBT) models capture the variations of the implied volatility known as \volatility smile". They provide a discrete...

Independent Component Analysis Via Copula Techniques

Chen, Ray-Bing; Guo, Meihui; Härdle, Wolfgang; Huang, … - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin> - 2007

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a modern factor analysis tool developed in the last two decades. Given p-dimensional data, we search for that linear combination of data which creates (almost) independent components. Here copulae are used to model the p-dimensional data and then...

Adaptive pointwise estimation in time-inhomogeneous time-series models

Cizek, Pavel; Härdle, Wolfgang; Spokoiny, Vladimir - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin>

This paper offers a new method for estimation and forecasting of the linear and nonlinear time series when the stationarity assumption is violated. Our general local parametric approach particularly applies to general varying-coefficient parametric models, such as AR or GARCH, whose coefficients...

Common Functional Implied Volatility Analysis

Benko, Michal; Härdle, Wolfgang - Sonderforschungsbereich Ökonomisches Risiko <Berlin> - 2005

Trading, hedging and risk analysis of complex option portfolios depend on accurate pricing models. The modelling of implied volatilities (IV) plays an important role, since volatility is the crucial parameter in the Black-Scholes (BS) pricing formula. It is well known from empirical studies that...
