Multiple split approach -- multidimensional probabilistic forecasting of electricity markets

In this article, a multiple split method is proposed that enables construction of multidimensional probabilistic forecasts of a selected set of variables. The method uses repeated resampling to estimate uncertainty of simultaneous multivariate predictions. This nonparametric approach links the gap b

Advanced Financial Fraud Detection Using GNN-CL Model

The innovative GNN-CL model proposed in this paper marks a breakthrough in the field of financial fraud detection by synergistically combining the advantages of graph neural networks (gnn), convolutional neural networks (cnn) and long short-term memory (LSTM) networks. This convergence enables multi

CAESar: Conditional Autoregressive Expected Shortfall

In financial risk management, Value at Risk (VaR) is widely used to estimate potential portfolio losses. VaR’s limitation is its inability to account for the magnitude of losses beyond a certain threshold. Expected Shortfall (ES) addresses this by providing the conditional expectation of such exceed

Stochastic Approaches to Asset Price Analysis

In this project, we propose to explore the Kalman filter’s performance for estimating asset prices. We begin by introducing a stochastic mean-reverting processes, the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) model. After this we discuss the Kalman filter in detail, and its application with this model. After a demons

Auction theory and demography

In economics, there are many ways to describe the interaction between a “seller” and a “buyer”. The most common one, with which we interact almost every day, is selling for a fixed price. This option is perfect for selling a mass product, when we have a number of sellers and many buyers, and the pri

Subleading correction to the Asian options volatility in the Black-Scholes model

The short maturity limit $T\to 0$ for the implied volatility of an Asian option in the Black-Scholes model is determined by the large deviations property for the time-average of the geometric Brownian motion. In this note we derive the subleading $O(T)$ correction to this implied volatility, using a

Unified Approach for Hedging Impermanent Loss of Liquidity Provision

We develop static and dynamic approaches for hedging of the impermanent loss (IL) of liquidity provision (LP) staked at Decentralised Exchanges (DEXes) which employ Uniswap V2 and V3 protocols. We provide detailed definitions and formulas for computing the IL to unify different definitions occurring

Fluid-Limits of Fragmented Limit-Order Markets

Maglaras, Moallemi, and Zheng (2021) have introduced a flexible queueing model for fragmented limit-order markets, whose fluid limit remains remarkably tractable. In the present study we prove that, in the limit of small and frequent orders, the discrete system indeed converges to the fluid limit, w

Kullback-Leibler Barycentre of Stochastic Processes

We consider the problem where an agent aims to combine the views and insights of different experts’ models. Specifically, each expert proposes a diffusion process over a finite time horizon. The agent then combines the experts’ models by minimising the weighted Kullback–Leibler divergence to each o

Longitudinal market structure detection using a dynamic modularity-spectral algorithm

In this paper, we introduce the Dynamic Modularity-Spectral Algorithm (DynMSA), a novel approach to identify clusters of stocks with high intra-cluster correlations and low inter-cluster correlations by combining Random Matrix Theory with modularity optimisation and spectral clustering. The primary

Modelling Uncertain Volatility Using Quantum Stochastic Calculus: Unitary vs Non-Unitary Time Evolution

In this article we look at stochastic processes with uncertain parameters, and consider different ways in which information is obtained when carrying out observations. For example we focus on the case of a the random evolution of a traded financial asset price with uncertain volatility. The quantum

Unified continuous-time q-learning for mean-field game and mean-field control problems

This paper studies the continuous-time q-learning in mean-field jump-diffusion models when the population distribution is not directly observable. We propose the integrated q-function in decoupled form (decoupled Iq-function) from the representative agent’s perspective and establish its martingale c

Unwinding Toxic Flow with Partial Information

We consider a central trading desk which aggregates the inflow of clients’ orders with unobserved toxicity, i.e. persistent adverse directionality. The desk chooses either to internalise the inflow or externalise it to the market in a cost effective manner. In this model, externalising the order flo

Block-diagonal idiosyncratic covariance estimation in high-dimensional factor models for financial time series

Estimation of high-dimensional covariance matrices in latent factor models is an important topic in many fields and especially in finance. Since the number of financial assets grows while the estimation window length remains of limited size, the often used sample estimator yields noisy estimates whi

The second-order Esscher martingale densities for continuous-time market models

In this paper, we introduce the second-order Esscher pricing notion for continuous-time models. Depending whether the stock price $S$ or its logarithm is the main driving noise/shock in the Esscher definition, we obtained two classes of second-order Esscher densities called linear class and exponent
