dc.description.abstract | It has been shown that some financial data follows certain heavy tailed distributions. Thavaneswaran et al(2019) proposed a novel data-driven exponential weighted moving average (DDEWMA) volatility forecasting model to forecast the volatility directly. In this thesis, regularized DDEWMA volatility forecasting model and the data-driven neural volatility(DDNV) forecasting model are proposed to forecast volatility, value-at-risk (VaR)and expected shortfall (ES). Moreover, the regularized DDEWMA and DDNV help improve the volatility forecasts. The DDEWMA also helps enhance the performance of portfolio optimization and algorithmic trading. | en_US |
