Critical Crashescond-mat.stat-mech

We argue that the word ``critical'' in the title is not purely literary. Based on our and other previous work on nonlinear complex dynamical systems, we summarize present evidence, on the Oct. 1929, Oct. 1987, Oct. 1987 Hong-Kong, Aug. 1998 global market events and on the 1985 Forex event, for the hypothesis advanced f…

This paper develops the Jungle model in a credit portfolio framework. The Jungle model is able to model credit contagion, produce doubly-peaked probability distributions for the total default loss and endogenously generate quasi phase transitions, potentially leading to systemic credit events which happen unexpectedly …

Survival analysis is a type of semi-supervised ranking task where the target output (the survival time) is often right-censored. Utilizing this information is a challenge because it is not obvious how to correctly incorporate these censored examples into a model. We study how three categories of loss functions, namely …

Study improves crash rate forecasting in Washington, D.C. using stochastic volatility model.

problem Forecasting crash rates in areas with irregular traffic patterns and exogenous events.
method Adopted a stochastic volatility model to capture heterogeneity and temporal instability.
result The stochastic volatility model outperforms conventional models in forecasting crash rates in Washington, D.C.

We find empirically a characteristic sharp peak-flat trough pattern in a large set of commodity prices. We argue that the sharp peak structure reflects an endogenous inter-market organization, and that peaks may be seen as local ``singularities'' resulting from imitation and herding. These findings impose a novel strin…

During a stock market peak the price of a given stock (i i ) jumps from an initial level p1(i) p_1(i) to a peak level p2(i) p_2(i) before falling back to a bottom level p3(i) p_3(i) . The ratios A(i)=p2(i)/p1(i) A(i) = p_2(i)/p_1(i) and B(i)=p3(i)/p1(i) B(i)= p_3(i)/p_1(i) are referred to as the peak- and bottom-amplitude respectively. The paper show…
