Abbreviations
- ACF:
-
Autocorrelation Function
- ARMA:
-
Autoregressive Moving Average
- BEKK:
-
A multivariate GARCH model named after an early unpublished paper by Baba, Engle, Kraft and Kroner.
- CCC:
-
Constant Conditional Correlation
- DCC:
-
Dynamic Conditional Correlation
- CAPM:
-
Capital Asset Pricing Model
- GARCH:
-
Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity
- Heteroskedasticity:
-
A non‐constant variance that depends on the observation or on time.
- i.i.d.:
-
independent, identically distributed
- Kurtosis:
-
A standardized fourth moment of a random variable that tells something about the shape of the distribution. A Gaussian distribution has a kurtosis of three. If the kurtosis is larger than three, then typically the distribution will have tails that are thicker than those of the Gaussian distribution.
- Lag:
-
An operation that shifts the time index of a time series. For example, the first lag of y t is \({y_{t-1}}\).
- Long memory:
-
Property of covariance stationary processes without absolutely summable ACF, meaning that the ACF decays slowly.
- Realized volatility:
-
Sum of intra-day squared returns as a measure for daily volatility.
- Skewness:
-
A standardized third moment of a random variable that tells something about the asymmetry of the distribution. Symmetric distributions have skewness equal to zero.
- Volatility:
-
Degree of fluctuation of a time series around its mean.
