Unsupervised learning of Markov-switching stochastic volatility with an application to market data

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

We introduce a new method for estimating the regime-switching stochastic volatility models from the historical prices. Our methodology is based on a novel version of the assumed density filter (ADF). We estimate the switching model by maximizing the quasi-likelihood function of our ADF. The simulation experiments show the efficiency of our method. Then we analyze different market price histories for consistency with a regime-shifting model.
