演講題目:Independent component analysis and its application in finance
摘要:Independent component analysis (ICA) is a data mining technique which aims to express a set of random variables as linear combinations of statistically independent latent components. Because of its ability to model multivariate non-Gaussian data such as financial time series data, financial applications of ICA began to appear in recent years. This talk will present some recent work on the extension of ICA in modeling multivariate time series, including multivariate volatility modeling using ICA with each independent component being modeled by a separate generalized autoregressive heteroskedastic (GARCH) process and term structure modeling using ICA. Some work on validating ICA modeling will be discussed.
