Time-changed self-similar processes : an application to high frequency financial data

Time-changed self-similar processes : an application to high frequency financial data
Time-changed self-similar processes : an application to high frequency financial data

We consider processes of the form X(t) = X̄;(θ(t)) where X̄; is a self-similar process with stationary increments and θ is a deterministic subordinator with a periodic activity function a = θ' > 0.  Such processes have been proposed as models for high-frequency financial data, such as currency exchange rates, where there are known to be daily and weekly periodic fluctuations in the volatility, captured here by the periodic activity function.  We propose three new methods for estimation the activity and review an existing estimator for it.  We present some experimental studies of the estimators performances.  We finish with an application to high frequency financial data such as foreign exchange rates and FTSE100  futures contract.

Abstract

We consider processes of the form X(t) = X̄;(θ(t)) where X̄; is a self-similar process with stationary increments and θ is a deterministic subordinator with a periodic activity function a = θ' > 0.  Such processes have been proposed as models for high-frequency financial data, such as currency exchange rates, where there are known to be daily and weekly periodic fluctuations in the volatility, captured here by the periodic activity function.  We propose three new methods for estimation the activity and review an existing estimator for it.  We present some experimental studies of the estimators performances.  We finish with an application to high frequency financial data such as foreign exchange rates and FTSE100  futures contract.
