The Great Recession endured by the main industrialized countries during the period 2008-2009, in the wake of the financial and banking crisis, has pointed out the major role of the financial sector on macroeconomic fluctuations. In this respect, many researchers have started to reconsider the...

This paper introduces a method based on the use of various linear and nonlinear state space models that uses non-synchronous data to extract global stochastic financial trends (GST). These models are specifically constructed to take advantage of the intraday arrival of closing information coming...

We propose a new approach based on a generalization of the classic logit model to improve prediction accuracy in US bank failures. We introduce mixed-data sampling (Midas) aggregation to construct financial predictors in a logistic regression. This allows us to relax the limitation of...

Reservoir computing is a recently introduced machine learning paradigm that has already shown excellent performances in the processing of empirical data. We study a particular kind of reservoir computers called time-delay reservoirs that are constructed out of the sampling of the solution of a...
