You're probably familiar, at least in passing, with the 'convexity' of long-term bonds - i.e. that yields dropping 1% produce a bigger price move than yields rising 1%. A significant amount of brainpower has gone into understanding all the ramifications of this convexity in the fixed income...

In this study we use machine learning algorithm to test Amareos sentiment indicator's predictive power of market reversals. We then build and test a viable trading strategy.As input for the algorithm, we used eight market sentiment indicators (Anger, Anticipation, Disgust, Fear, Gloom, Joy,...

We explore in this paper the use of deep signature models to predict equity financial time series returns. First, we use signature transformations to model the underlying shape of the input equity returns; further assuming the underlying shape remains the same, we predict future values based on...

We examine in this paper the training and test set performance of several equity factor models with a dataset of 20 years of data, 1,200 stocks and 100 factors. First, we examine several models to forecast expected returns, which can be used as baselines for more complex models: linear...

The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether a dynamic Value at Risk model and high frequency realized volatility models can improve the accuracy of 1-day ahead VaR forecasting beyond the performance of frequently used models. As such, this paper constructs 60 conditional volatility...

This study sheds new light on the question of whether or not sentiment surveys, and the expectations derived from them, are relevant to forecasting economic growth and stock returns, and whether they contain information that is orthogonal to macroeconomic and financial data. I examine 16...

It is common practice to forecast social, political, and economic outcomes by polling people about their intentions. This approach is direct, but it can be unreliable in settings where it is hard to identify a representative sample, or where subjects have an incentive to conceal their true...

Using high-frequency transaction data, we evaluate the forecasting performance of several dynamic ordinal-response time series models with generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity. The specifications account for three components; leverage effects, in-mean effects and moving...

This paper considers sampling proportional to expected size from a partly unknown distribution. The applied context is the exploration for undiscovered resources, like oil accumulations in different deposits, where the most promising deposits are likely to be drilled first, based on some...
