A multimodal beta distribution with application to economic data

Saralees Nadarajah, Samuel Kotz (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Beta distributions are popular models for economic data. In this paper, a new multimodal beta distribution with bathtub shaped failure rate function is introduced. Various structural properties of this distribution are derived, including its cdf, moments, mean deviation about the mean, mean deviation about the median, entropy, asymptotic distribution of the extreme order statistics, maximum likelihood estimates and the Fisher information matrix. Finally, an application to consumer price indices...

Adaptive prediction of stock exchange indices by state space wavelet networks

Mietek A. Brdyś, Adam Borowa, Piotr Idźkowiak, Marcin T. Brdyś (2009)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The paper considers the forecasting of the Warsaw Stock Exchange price index WIG20 by applying a state space wavelet network model of the index price. The approach can be applied to the development of tools for predicting changes of other economic indicators, especially stock exchange indices. The paper presents a general state space wavelet network model and the underlying principles. The model is applied to produce one session ahead and five sessions ahead adaptive predictors of the WIG20 index...
