4 Class of Volatility Models Volatility Important factor in Risk Management. Volatility modeling provides a simple approach to calculating Value at Risk (VaR) of financial position. Important factor in Option Trading. Black-Scholes formula for European options - Conditional variance of log return of the underlying stock (volatility) plays an important role. Modeling the volatility of a time series can improve the efficiency in parameter estimation and the accuracy in forecat intervals. 4 / 35
5 Class of Volatility Models Characteristics of Volatility Stock volatility is not directly observable. The characteristics that are commonly seen in asset returns: Volatility clusters exist. Volatility jumps are rare. Volatility varies within some fixed range. Volatility react differently to a big price increase/decrease. 5 / 35

7 Class of Volatility Models Some definitions Some Definitions Properties Fuzzy Random Variable Let A be a fuzzy subset of X. Then the support of A, S(A), is The height h(a) of A is S(A) = {x X : µ A (x) > 0} h(a) = Sup µ A (x) x X If h(a) = 1, then A is called a normal fuzzy set. The α-cut (interval of confidence at level-α) of the fuzzy set A A[α] = {x X : µ A (x) α}, α [0, 1] 7 / 35
8 Class of Volatility Models Some Definitions Properties Fuzzy Random Variable Some definitions A fuzzy number N is a fuzzy subset of R: and (i) the core of N is non-empty; (ii) α-cuts of N are all closed, bounded intervals, α (0, 1]; and (iii) the support of N is bounded. 8 / 35
9 Properties Introduction Class of Volatility Models Some Definitions Properties Fuzzy Random Variable Extension Principle: Any h : [a, b] R may be extended to H( X ) = Z as follows Z(z) = { sup X (z) h(x) = z, a x b } x for 0 α 1. z 1 (α) = min { h(x) x X (α) } z 2 (α) = max { h(x) x X (α) } 9 / 35
10 Properties Introduction Class of Volatility Models Some Definitions Properties Fuzzy Random Variable Properties: Let Ā and B be two fuzzy numbers such that Then, for all α (0, 1], (a) C[α] = Ā[α] + B[α] (b) C[α] = Ā[α] B[α] (c) C[α] = Ā[α]. B[α] (d) C[α] = Ā[α] B[α], Ā[α] = [a 1 (α), a 2 (α)] B[α] = [b 1 (α), b 2 (α)]. provided that zero does not belong to B[α] for all α (0, 1]. 10 / 35
