In this paper we investigate the ability of several econometrical models to forecast value at risk for a sample of daily time series of cryptocurrency returns. Using high frequency data for Bitcoin, we estimate the entropy of intraday distribution of logreturns through the symbolic time series analysis (STSA), producing low-resolution data from high-resolution data. Our results show that entropy has a strong explanatory power for the quantiles of the distribution of the daily returns. Based on Christoffersen’s tests for Value at Risk (VaR) backtesting, we can conclude that the VaR forecast build upon the entropy of intraday returns is the best, compared to the forecasts provided by the classical GARCH models.

We suggest using independent component analysis (ICA) to decompose multivariate time series into statistically independent time series. Then, we propose to use ICA-GARCH models which are computationally efficient to estimate the multivariate volatilities. The experimental results show that the ICA-GARCH models are more effective than existing methods, including DCC, PCA-GARCH, and EWMA. We also apply the proposed models to compute value at risk (VaR) for risk management applications. The backtesting and the out-of-sample tests validate the performance of ICA-GARCH models for value at risk estimation.

<p>Value-at-Risk was estimated using the technique of wavelet decomposition with goal to analyze the frequency components' impacts on variances of daily stock returns, and on  forecasts. Daily returns of twenty-one shares of the Ibovespa and daily returns of twenty-two shares of the DJIA were used. The  model was applied to the reconstructed returns to model and establish the prediction of conditional variance, applying the rolling window technique. The Value-at-Risk was then estimated, and the results showed that the DJIA shares showed more efficient market behavior than those of Ibovespa. The differences in behavior induces to affirm that VaRs, used in the analysis of financial assets from different markets with different governance premises, should be estimated by series of returns reconstructed by aggregations of components of different frequencies. A set of back-testing was applied to confront the estimated , which demonstrated that the estimation of  models are consistent.</p>

AbstractThe identification of modes of oscillation is an important first step towards the seismology of stars. Low- and high-degree nonradial modes of oscillation may appear as variations in the line profiles of rapidly rotating δ Scuti stars. We present a technique whereby complex patterns in the line profiles are decomposed into Fourier components in both time and “Doppler space”. The technique is applied to the 7.3-hour time series of high-resolution data obtained from CFHT for the δ Scuti star τ Peg. In addition to the low-degree mode which has been identified in photometric studies (Breger 1991), we find evidence for at least three high-degree modes near 11 and 15. Correcting for the rotation of the star, most of these modes appear to oscillate with frequencies near 17 cycles day-1. Our results are found to be in good agreement with the theoretical limits imposed on the frequencies of oscillation by the models of Dziembowski (1990).
