Forecasting Returns of Major Cryptocurrencies: Evidence from Regime-Switching Factor Models

Switching Coefficients or Automatic Variable Selection: An Application in Forecasting Commodity Returns

In this paper, we conduct a thorough investigation of the predictive ability of forward and backward stepwise regressions and hidden Markov models for the futures returns of several commodities. The…

Linear Laws of Markov Chains with an Application for Anomaly Detection in Bitcoin Prices

The goals of this paper are twofold: (1) to present a new method that is able to find linear laws governing the time evolution of Markov chains and (2) to apply this method for anomaly detection in…

Bitcoin Fiyatlarındaki Değişimin Markov Rejim Değişim Modeli ile Analizi (An Analysis of Bitcoin Prices with The Markov Regime Switching Model)

Bulgular – Çalışma kapsamında çalışmaya konu periyotta Bitcoin getiri serisi için en uygun modelin üç rejimli MSIH(3)-AR(1) modeli olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Modele ilişkin analizler yapıldığında ise…

Stock Market Bubbles and the Forecastability of Gold Returns (and Volatility)

Firstly, we use the Multi-Scale LPPLS Con(cid:28)dence Indicator approach to detect both positive and negative bubbles at short-, medium- and long-term horizons for the stock markets of the G7 and…

Modelling Volatility of Cryptocurrencies Using Markov-Switching GARCH Models

Predicting crypto-currencies using sparse non-Gaussian state space models

TLDR
A time-varying parameter VAR with t-distributed measurement errors and stochastic volatility is developed that enables us to shrink coefficients associated with irrelevant predictors and/or perform model specification in a flexible manner to control for overparameterization.

Forecasting cryptocurrencies under model and parameter instability

An Empirical Investigation of Volatility Dynamics in the Cryptocurrency Market

By employing an asymmetric Diagonal BEKK model, this paper examines volatility dynamics of five major cryptocurrencies, namely Bitcoin, Ether, Ripple, Litecoin, and Stellar Lumen. It is shown that…

Asymmetric Mean Reversion of Bitcoin Price Returns

Abstract Non-linearity is characterised by an asymmetric mean-reverting property, which has been found to be inherent in the short-term return dynamics of stocks. In this paper, we explore as to…

Today I Got a Million, Tomorrow, I Don't Know: On the Predictability of Cryptocurrencies by Means of Google Search Volume

TLDR
It is found that returns are not predictable while volatility is predictable to some extent while an increasing accuracy of the forecast when the sampling frequency is lowered.

Structural breaks and double long memory of cryptocurrency prices: A comparative analysis from Bitcoin and Ethereum

Predictive Power of Markovian Models: Evidence from U.S. Recession Forecasting

This paper brings new evidence of predicting the U.S. recessions through Markovian models. The Markovian models, including the Hidden Markov and Markov models, incorporate the temporal…

Forecasting under model uncertainty: Non‐homogeneous hidden Markov models with Pòlya‐Gamma data augmentation

TLDR
This paper proposes a new latent variable scheme that utilizes the Polya-Gamma class of distributions that allows for model uncertainty regarding the predictors that affect the series both linearly and non-linearly in the transition matrix.

Modelling long memory volatility in the Bitcoin market: Evidence of persistence and structural breaks

Motivated by the emergence of Bitcoin as a speculative financial investment, the purpose of this paper is to examine the persistence in the level and volatility of Bitcoin price, accounting for the…
