Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Modern statistical and machine learning methods have provided powerful tools with which to tackle large amounts of financial data, either for financial risk management or for investment and trading strategies.

The Special Issue aims to collect research work on innovative applications of modern statistical and machine learning methods related to financial data, including, but not limited to, the following topics:

  1. Explanatory/interpretable machine learning methods for financial data.
  2. Tail risks, tail dependence, and extreme value modeling for financial data.
  3. Systemic risk, liquidity risk, anomaly detection, and financial stability.
  4. Behavioral finance, sentiment analysis, and news as well as social network analysis.
  5. Market microstructure analysis and high-frequency trading strategies.

In this study, we proposed two types of hybrid models based on the heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model and support vector regression (SVR) model to forecast realized volatility (RV). The first model is a residual-type model, where the RV is first predicted using the HAR model, and the residuals are used to train the SVR model. The residual component is then predicted using the SVR model, and the results from both the HAR and SVR models are combined to obtain the final prediction. The second model is a weight-based model, which is a combination of the HAR and SVR models and uses the same independent variables and dependent variables as the HAR model; we adjust the contribution of the two models to the predicted values by giving different weights to each model. In particular, four volatility models are used in RV forecasting as basic models. For empirical analysis, the RV of returns of the Tokyo stock price index and five individual stocks of TOPIX 30 is used as the dataset. The empirical results reveal that according to the model confidence set test, the weight-type model outperforms the HAR model and the residual-type HAR–SVR model. Full article
