Using Machine Learning to Predict Realized Variance
In this paper we formulate a regression problem to predict realized volatility by using option price data and enhance VIX-styled volatility indices' predictability and liquidity. We test algorithms including regularized regression and machine learning methods such as Feedforward Neural Networks (FNN) on S&P 500 Index and its option data. By conducting a time series validation we find that both Ridge regression and FNN can improve volatility indexing with higher prediction performance and fewer options required. The best approach found is to predict the difference between the realized volatility and the VIX-styled index's prediction rather than to predict the realized volatility directly, representing a successful combination of human learning and machine learning. We also discuss suitability of different regression algorithms for volatility indexing and applications of our findings.

Long-Horizon Return Predictability from Realized Volatility in Pure-Jump Point Processes
We develop and justify methodology to consistently test for long-horizon return predictability based on realized variance. To accomplish this, we propose a parametric transaction-level model for the continuous-time log p…
Point ProcessesregressionPredicting Realized Variance Out of Sample: Can Anything Beat The Benchmark?
The discrepancy between realized volatility and the market's view of volatility has been known to predict individual equity options at the monthly horizon. It is not clear how this predictability depends on a forecast's …
Geometric Deep Learning for Realized Covariance Matrix Forecasting
Traditional methods employed in matrix volatility forecasting often overlook the inherent Riemannian manifold structure of symmetric positive definite matrices, treating them as elements of Euclidean space, which can lea…
Deep LearningThe impacts of asymmetry on modeling and forecasting realized volatility in Japanese stock markets
This study investigates the impacts of asymmetry on the modeling and forecasting of realized volatility in the Japanese futures and spot stock markets. We employ heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) models allowing for thr…
Distributions of Historic Market Data -- Implied and Realized Volatility
We undertake a systematic comparison between implied volatility, as represented by VIX (new methodology) and VXO (old methodology), and realized volatility. We compare visually and statistically distributions of realized…
