Statistics of Financial Markets

Part of the book series: Universitext ((UTX))

Abstract

With the analysis of (financial) time series, one of the most important goals is to produce forecasts. Using past data one can argue about the future mean, the future volatility and so on; however, a flexible method of producing such estimates will be introduced in this chapter.
