Abstract

We perform non-linear analysis on stock market indices using time-dependent extended Tsallis statistics. Specifically, we evaluate the q-triplet for particular time periods with the purpose of demonstrating the temporal dependence of the extended characteristics of the underlying market dynamics. We apply the analysis on daily close price timeseries of four major global markets (S&P 500, Tokyo-NIKKEI, Frankfurt-DAX, London-LSE). For comparison, we also compute time-dependent Generalized Hurst Exponents (GHE) Hq using the GHE method, thus estimating the temporal evolution of the multiscaling characteristics of the index dynamics. We focus on periods before and after critical market events such as stock market bubbles (2000 dot.com bubble, Japanese 1990 bubble, 2008 US real estate crisis) and find that the temporal trends of q-triplet values significantly differ among these periods indicating that in the rising period before a bubble break, the underlying extended statistics of the market dynamics strongly deviates from purely stochastic behavior, whereas, after the breakdown, it gradually converges to the Gaussian-like behavior which is a characteristic of an efficient market. We also conclude that relative temporal variation patterns of the Tsallis q-triplet can be connected to different aspects of market dynamics and reveals useful information about market conditions especially those underlying the development of a stock market bubble. We found specific temporal patterns and trends in the relative variation of the indices in the q-triplet that distinguish periods just before and just after a stock-market bubble break. Differences between endogenous and exogenous stock market crises are also captured by the temporal changes in the Tsallis q-triplet. Finally, we introduce two new time-dependent empirical metrics (Q-metrics) that are functions of the Tsallis q-triplet.

The Log S-fBM model: Statistical analysis

The Log S-fBM model, introduced by Wu et al., is a stochastic volatility model whose log volatility is a stationary fractional Brownian motion (S-fBM): a stationary Gaussian process with power-decaying autocovariance driven by the Hurst exponent $H$, and variance scaled by an intermittency coefficient. A key property is that it reconciles rough volatility, where $H$ is typically near $0.1$ (see Gatheral et al.), with multifractal volatility, where $H$ is close to $0$ as in Bacry, Muzy et al.: the model's volatility measure converges to a multifractal random measure as $H\to0$. Numerical findings in Wu et al. show intermittency of order $0.02$ across financial assets, motivating a small intermittency approximation of log volatility moments for calibration via the general method of moments (GMM). In this work, we conduct a statistical analysis of the Log S-fBM model. We derive scaling properties of the S-fBM process and the Log S-fBM integrated volatility measure, present deviation inequalities with tail distributions sensitive to $H$ and intermittency, and develop a hypothesis test for the null Hurst exponent, i.e.\ rough versus multifractal dynamics. Finally, we revisit scale invariance of the log volatility increment process via explicit small-intermittency formulas, reproducing analogous properties in both regimes.

Asymmetric Long-Memory GARCH: Sign-Dependent Kernel Injection in a Two-Dimensional Markov Chain

We introduce ALM-GARCH, an asymmetric long-memory GARCH model in which positive and negative innovations enter conditional variance with different injection amplitudes and kernel offsets. These departures define testable level and memory channels relative to a nested symmetric benchmark. Positive Harris recurrence holds for interior configurations under a Foster-Lyapunov condition. Across five equity indices and Bitcoin, joint symmetry is rejected throughout, driven primarily by the level channel. The memory channel is supported for the Nikkei 225, KOSPI, and Bitcoin but is weakly identified when the positive branch is nearly inactive. Out-of-sample performance is broadly comparable to standard benchmarks.

Modeling Trade Durations under Temporal Granularity Effects in Forex Markets

Trade durations in high-frequency foreign exchange data exhibit increased occurrence near integer values. To address this empirical phenomenon, we propose the granularity-adjusted autoregressive conditional duration (GA-ACD) model. It is based on a novel two-component mixture distribution consisting of a standard generalized gamma component for regular durations and a second component that locally redistributes probability mass around integer values to capture heaping. Conditional dynamics are modeled within a score-driven framework, allowing the scale parameter to vary over time in response to past durations, and enabling maximum likelihood estimation of all model parameters. A simulation study shows that ignoring heaping leads to biased parameter estimates and distorted inference regarding both the distribution and the dynamics of durations. An empirical analysis demonstrates that integer-duration clustering is pervasive across major currency pairs and that the GA-ACD model outperforms the standard generalized gamma ACD model.
