A New Approach to Volatility Modeling: The Factorial Hidden Markov Volatility Model
波动率建模的新方法:因子化隐马尔可夫波动率模型
A new process—the factorial hidden Markov volatility (FHMV) model—is proposed to model financial returns or realized variances. Its dynamics are driven by a latent volatility process specified as a product of three components: a Markov chain controlling volatility persistence, an independent discrete process capable of generating jumps in the volatility, and a predictable (data-driven) process capturing the leverage effect. An economic interpretation is attached to each one…
