Number of Volatility Regimes in the Muscat Securities Market Index in Oman Using Markov-Switching GARCH Models
The predominant approach for studying volatility is through various GARCH specifications, which are widely utilized in model-based analyses. This study focuses on assessing the predictive performance of specific GARCH models, particularly the Markov-Switching GARCH (MS-GARCH). The primary objective is to determine the optimal number of regimes within the MS-GARCH framework that effectively captures the conditional variance of the Muscat Securities Market Index (MSMI). To achieve this, we employ the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) to compare different MS-GARCH models, estimated via Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE). Our findings indicate that the chosen models consistently exhibit at least two regimes across various GARCH specifications. Furthermore, a validation using the Value at Risk (VaR) confirms the accuracy of volatility forecasts generated by the selected models
We focus on solving stochastic differential equations driven by jump processes (SDEJs) with measurable drifts that may exhibit quadratic growth. Our approach leverages
In this short note we provide an additional term that was missing in the proof of Theorem 5.1 in section 5 (Comparison and strict comparison theorems) of our previous paper entitled: Quadratic…
In this article, we introduce a new stochastic process called the sub-fractional G-Brownian motion, which serves as an intermediate between the G-Brownian motion and the fractional G-Brownian…
