  1. 16. Parameter Update Schemes for Hidden Markov Models applied to Financial Returns

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistik

    Author : Sigfrid Forsberg; [2022]
    Keywords : Markov Chain; Finance; Hidden Markov Model; Generalized Autoregressive Score Model; S P-500; Nikkei; Adaptive Model; Volatility; Regime-switching Model; Line-Search Algorithm; Predictor-Corrector; Quasi-Newton; Mathematics and Statistics;

    Abstract : This thesis was dedicated to investigating the use of different parameter update schemes for Hidden Markov models with time-varying parameters, with an emphasis on developing alternatives to the quasi-Newton step. The focus was on applications to financial returns, using data from the S\&P-500 and the Nikkei index, and for comparison, a trial using synthetic data was also performed. READ MORE

  5. 19. Time Dependencies Between Equity Options Implied Volatility Surfaces and Stock Loans, A Forecast Analysis with Recurrent Neural Networks and Multivariate Time Series

    University essay from KTH/Matematik (Avd.)

    Author : Simon Wahlberg; [2022]
    Keywords : RNN; LSTM; GRU; vector autoregression; implied volatility surface; stock loan; equity options; multivariate time-series analysis; financial mathematics.; Rekursiva neurala nätverk; LSTM; GRU; VAR; implicerade volatilitetsytor; aktielån; aktieoptioner; multidimensionell tidsserieanalys; finansiell matematik.;

    Abstract : Synthetic short positions constructed by equity options and stock loan short sells are linked by arbitrage. This thesis analyses the link by considering the implied volatility surface (IVS) at 80%, 100%, and 120% moneyness, and stock loan variables such as benchmark rate (rt), utilization, short interest, and transaction trends to inspect time-dependent structures between the two assets.

    Author : Axel Knut Jakobsson; William Vedage; [2022]
    Keywords : Applied Mathematics; Multiple Linear Regression; Acquisitions; Tillämpad matematik; Multipel linjär regression; Företagsförvärv;

    Abstract : Despite much research indicating that acquisitions are unsatisfactory in generating value, in terms of stock market return, their continued and growing existence highlights that acquisitions play an essential role in the corporate landscape, and will only continue doing so moving forward.  This continuous undertaking in acquisitions despite a lacking performance inspired a thesis that is focused on viewing acquisitions through an operational perspective.
