The correlation function of a financial index of the New York stock exchange, the S&P 500, is analyzed at 1 min intervals over the 13-year period, Jan 84 -- Dec 96. We quantify the correlations of the absolute values of the index increment. We find that these correlations can be described by two different power laws with a crossover time t_\times\approx 600 min. Detrended fluctuation analysis gives exponents $\alpha_1=0.66$ and $\alpha_2=0.93$ for $t t_\times$ respectively. Power spectrum… Expand

Long-range correlation and predictability of Chinese stock prices
• Mathematics

Abstract It is well known that the price time series of an efficient market display a Brownian motion. In such a case the best prediction of a future price is the last-known price thus no arbitrageExpand
Indication of multiscaling in the volatility return intervals of stock markets.
• Mathematics, Economics
• Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics
• 2008
This work investigates intraday data sets of 500 stocks and finds that the cumulative distribution of return intervals has systematic deviations from scaling, and investigates the moments in the range 10<tau< or =100, which suggest that the return interval distribution exhibits multiscaling behavior due to the nonlinear correlations in the original volatility.

Measuring long-range correlations in news flow intensity time series
• Mathematics

We consider the flow intensity of economic and financial news taken from a nine-month period of 2015. This data is found to be well approximated by a persistent self-affine walk. It is characterizedExpand
Statistical regularities in the return intervals of volatility

Abstract. We discuss recent results concerning statistical regularities in the return intervals of volatility in financial markets. In particular, we show how the analysis of volatility returnExpand
Fluctuations and their correlations in econophysics
We address a current question in econophysics: Are fluctuations in economic indices correlated? To this end, we analyze 1-minute data on a stock index, the Standard and Poor index of the 500 largestExpand
Comparison between volatility return intervals of the S&P 500 index and two common models
• Mathematics
• 2008
Abstract. We analyze the S&P 500 index data for the 13-year period, from January 1, 1984 to December 31, 1996, with one data point every 10 min. For this database, we study the distribution andExpand

The Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH), one of the most important hypothesis in financial economics, argues that return rates have no memory (correlation) which implies that agents cannot makeExpand

Scaling and memory of intraday volatility return intervals in stock markets.
• Mathematics, Physics
• Physical review. E, Statistical, nonlinear, and soft matter physics
• 2006
Study of the return interval tau between price volatilities that are above a certain threshold q for 31 intraday data sets finds that return interval records, in addition to having short-term correlations as demonstrated by Pq(tau/tau0), have long-term correlated exponents similar to that of volatility records.

Abstract.In the present work we investigate the multiscale nature of the correlations for high frequency data (1 min) in different futures markets over a period of two years, starting on the 1st ofExpand
