Fitting the seven-parameter Generalized Tempered Stable distribution to the financial data
The paper proposes and implements a methodology to fit a seven-parameter Generalized Tempered Stable (GTS) distribution to financial data. The nonexistence of the mathematical expression of the GTS probability density function makes the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) inadequate for providing parameter estimations. Based on the function characteristic and the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT), we provide a comprehensive approach to circumvent the problem and yield a good parameter estimation of the GTS probability. The methodology was applied to fit two heavily tailed data (Bitcoin and Ethereum returns) and two peaked data (S\&P 500 and SPY ETF returns). For each index, the estimation results show that the six-parameter estimations are statistically significant except for the local parameter, $\mu$. The goodness-of-fit was assessed through Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Anderson-Darling, and Pearson's chi-squared statistics. While the two-parameter geometric Brownian motion (GBM) hypothesis is always rejected, the GTS distribution fits significantly with a very high p-value; and outperforms the Kobol, Carr-Geman-Madan-Yor, and Bilateral Gamma distributions.
