We develop a random financial time series model of stock market by one of statistical physics systems, the stochastic contact interacting system. Contact process is a continuous time Markov process; one interpretation of this model is as a model for the spread of an infection, where the epidemic spreading mimics the interplay of local infections and recovery of individuals. From this financial model, we study the statistical behaviors of return time series, and the corresponding behaviors of returns for Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index (SSECI) and Hang Seng Index (HSI) are also comparatively studied. Further, we investigate the Zipf distribution and multifractal phenomenon of returns and price changes. Zipf analysis and MF-DFA analysis are applied to investigate the natures of fluctuations for the stock market.

Financial market is a complex evolved dynamic system with high volatilities and noises, and the modeling and analyzing of financial time series are regarded as the rather challenging tasks in financial research. In this work, by applying the Potts dynamic system, a random agent-based financial time series model is developed in an attempt to uncover the empirical laws in finance, where the Potts model is introduced to imitate the trading interactions among the investing agents. Based on the computer simulation in conjunction with the statistical analysis and the nonlinear analysis, we present numerical research to investigate the fluctuation behaviors of the proposed time series model. Furthermore, in order to get a robust conclusion, we consider the daily returns of Shanghai Composite Index and Shenzhen Component Index, and the comparison analysis of return behaviors between the simulation data and the actual data is exhibited.

Prediction of financial time series such as stock and stock indexes has remained the main focus of researchers because of its composite nature and instability in almost all of the developing and advanced countries. The main objective of this research work is to predict the direction movement of the daily stock prices index using the artificial neural network (ANN) and support vector machine (SVM). The datasets utilized in this study are the KSE-100 index of the Pakistan stock exchange, Korea composite stock price index (KOSPI), Nikkei 225 index of the Tokyo stock exchange, and Shenzhen stock exchange (SZSE) composite index for the last ten years that is from 2011 to 2020. To build the architect of a single layer ANN and SVM model with linear, radial basis function (RBF), and polynomial kernels, different technical indicators derived from the daily stock trading, such as closing, opening, daily high, and daily low prices and used as input layers. Since both the ANN and SVM models were used as classifiers; therefore, accuracy and F-score were used as performance metrics calculated from the confusion matrix. It can be concluded from the results that ANN performs better than SVM model in terms of accuracy and F-score to predict the direction movement of the KSE-100 index, KOSPI index, Nikkei 225 index, and SZSE composite index daily closing price movement.

The fluctuations of economic and financial time series are influenced by various kinds of factors and usually demonstrate strong nonstationary and high complexity. Therefore, accurately forecasting economic and financial time series is always a challenging research topic. In this study, a novel multidecomposition and self-optimizing hybrid approach integrating multiple improved complete ensemble empirical mode decompositions with adaptive noise (ICEEMDANs), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), and random vector functional link (RVFL) neural networks, namely, MICEEMDAN-WOA-RVFL, is developed to predict economic and financial time series. First, we employ ICEEMDAN with random parameters to separate the original time series into a group of comparatively simple subseries multiple times. Second, we construct RVFL networks to individually forecast each subseries. Considering the complex parameter settings of RVFL networks, we utilize WOA to search the optimal parameters for RVFL networks simultaneously. Then, we aggregate the prediction results of individual decomposed subseries as the prediction results of each decomposition, respectively, and finally integrate these prediction results of all the decompositions as the final ensemble prediction results. The proposed MICEEMDAN-WOA-RVFL remarkably outperforms the compared single and ensemble benchmark models in terms of forecasting accuracy and stability, as demonstrated by the experiments conducted using various economic and financial time series, including West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude oil prices, US dollar/Euro foreign exchange rate (USD/EUR), US industrial production (IP), and Shanghai stock exchange composite index (SSEC).

Multifractal processes reproduce some of the stylised features observed in financial time series, namely heavy tails found in asset returns distributions, and long-memory found in volatility. Multifractal scaling cannot be assumed, it should be established; however, this is not a straightforward task, particularly in the presence of heavy tails. We develop an empirical hypothesis test to identify whether a time series is likely to exhibit multifractal scaling in the presence of heavy tails. The test is constructed by comparing estimated scaling functions of financial time series to simulated scaling functions of both an iid Student t-distributed process and a Brownian Motion in Multifractal Time (BMMT), a multifractal processes constructed in Mandelbrot et al. (1997). Concavity measures of the respective scaling functions are estimated, and it is observed that the concavity measures form different distributions which allow us to construct a hypothesis test. We apply this method to test for multifractal scaling across several financial time series including Bitcoin. We observe that multifractal scaling cannot be ruled out for Bitcoin or the Nasdaq Composite Index, both technology driven assets.

The basic market microstructure model specifies that the price/return innovation and the volatility innovation are independent Gaussian white noise processes. However, the financial leverage effect has been found to be statistically significant in many financial time series. In this paper, a novel market microstructure model with leverage effects is proposed. The model specification assumed a negative correlation in the errors between the price/return innovation and the volatility innovation. With the new representations, a theoretical explanation of leverage effect is provided. Simulated data and daily stock market indices (Shanghai composite index, Shenzhen component index, and Standard and Poor’s 500 Composite index) via Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) method are used to estimate the leverage market microstructure model. The results verify the effectiveness of the model and its estimation approach proposed in the paper and also indicate that the stock markets have strong leverage effects. Compared with the classical leverage stochastic volatility (SV) model in terms of DIC (Deviance Information Criterion), the leverage market microstructure model fits the data better.

The permutation entropy (PE) is a statistical measure which can describe complexity of time series. In recent years, the research on PE is increasing gradually. As part of its application, the complexity–entropy causality plane (CECP) and weighted CECP (WCECP) have been recently used to distinguish the stage of stock market development. In this paper, we focus on weighted Rényi entropy causality plane (WRECP), and then extend WCECP and WRECP into multiscale WCECP (MWCECP) and multiscale WRECP (MWRECP) by introducing a new parameter scale. By data simulating and analyzing, we show the power of WRECP. Besides, we discuss the MWCECP and the MWRECP of adjacent scales. It reveals a gradual relationship between adjacent weighted scale entropies.

This paper is dedicated to the achievements of Robert Engle and Clive Granger which allowed to overcome a serious crisis in macroeconomics and financial market analysis. The main concepts of cointegration theory and different estimation methods of cointegration equations are considered in the first part of the paper. The areas of application of cointegration theory and possible extensions are briefly described as well. The financial time series model with conditional heteroskedastisity is analyzed in the second part of the paper. The main prerequisites of the method suggested by R. Engle are formulated and its extensions and areas of application are defined.
