Previously we introduced Singular Spectrum Analysis SSA and its multivariate extension MSSA as a powerful tool for cleaning data. Here we compare MSSA with the data filling algorithm M-REM (Multivariate Regularized Expectation Maximization). We compare theoretical methodology, numerical...

We identify and examine the presence of the long memory in equity returns and more generally in specific transformations of these returns, on both the US and European stock markets. Taking into account the persistence phenomenon, we analyze the effect of the splitting of the sample period on the...

The quantification of risk and dependence are major components of financial risk modelling. Financial risk modelling frequenty uses the assumption of a normal distribution when considereing the return series which makes modelling easy but is inefficient if the data is not normally distributed or...
