Modeling financial returns as conditionally independent random variables explains power-law tails.

problem Understanding the distribution of financial returns and their relation to volatility.
method Assuming returns are conditionally independent given volatility, which varies randomly over time.
result Returns distribution can be described by the sum of conditionally independent random variables, showing scaling and power-law tails.

The distribution of recurrence times or return intervals between extreme events is important to characterize and understand the behavior of physical systems and phenomena in many disciplines. It is well known that many physical processes in nature and society display long range correlations. Hence, in the last few year…

New theory explains signal propagation in normalization-free transformers.

problem Understanding signal propagation in normalization-free transformers.
method Deriving recurrence relations for activation statistics and APJNs across layers.

Study on price fluctuations in NFT market, showing heavy-tailed distributions and long-range memory.

problem Characterizing price fluctuations in NFT market.
method Analysis of capitalization, floor price, transactions, inter-transaction times, and volume value of NFTs.
result NFT market exhibits heavy-tailed probability distribution functions, well described by stretched exponentials, with long-range memory.

Starting from the generalized exponential function expκ(x)=(1+κ2x2+κx)1/κ\exp_κ(x)=(\sqrt{1+κ^{2}x^{2}}+κx)^{1/κ}, with exp0(x)=exp(x)\exp_{0}(x)=\exp(x), proposed in Ref. [G. Kaniadakis, Physica A \textbf{296}, 405 (2001)], the survival function P>(x)=expκ(βxα)P_{>}(x)=\exp_κ(-βx^α), where xR+x\in\mathbf{R}^{+}, α,β>0α,β>0, and κ[0,1)κ\in[0,1), is considered in order to…

The study examines cryptocurrency market activity, revealing multifractal inter-transaction times and challenging traditional statistical models.

problem Analyzing long-range autocorrelations and multifractality in cryptocurrency market activity.
method Analysis of tick-by-tick data from multiple cryptocurrency trading platforms, focusing on inter-transaction times, transaction volumes, and volatility.
result Inter-transaction times exhibit multifractality, indicating periods of increased market activity are more complex than quiet periods.

We compare systematically several classes of stochastic volatility models of stock market fluctuations. We show that the long-time return distribution is either Gaussian or develops a power-law tail, while the short-time return distribution has generically a stretched-exponential form, but can assume also an algebraic …

In the present work we demonstrate the application of different physical methods to high-frequency or tick-by-tick financial time series data. In particular, we calculate the Hurst exponent and inverse statistics for the price time series taken from a range of futures indices. Additionally, we show that in a limit orde…

We use daily data on bilateral interbank exposures and monthly bank balance sheets to study network characteristics of the Russian interbank market over Aug 1998 - Oct 2004. Specifically, we examine the distributions of (un)directed (un)weighted degree, nodal attributes (bank assets, capital and capital-to-assets ratio…

Analyzes financial return distributions over various time scales.

problem Understanding the changing nature of financial return distributions over time.
method Modeling return distributions using power-law, stretched exponential, and q-Gaussian functions.
result The 'inverse-cubic power-law' is still a good fit for short-term returns, but market dynamics are more complex.

Scaling properties in financial fluctuations are reviewed from the standpoint of statistical physics. We firstly show theoretically that the balance of demand and supply enhances fluctuations due to the underlying phase transition mechanism. By analyzing tick data of yen-dollar exchange rates we confirm two fractal pro…

We study the tick dynamical behavior of the bond futures in Korean Futures Exchange(KOFEX) market. Since the survival probability in the continuous-time random walk theory is applied to the bond futures transaction, the form of the decay function in our bond futures model is discussed from two kinds of Korean Treasury …

We use data on wealth of the richest persons taken from the "rich lists" provided by business magazines like Forbes to verify if upper tails of wealth distributions follow, as often claimed, a power-law behaviour. The data sets used cover the world's richest persons over 1996-2012, the richest Americans over 1988-2012,…

The statistical properties of the return intervals τqτ_q between successive 1-min volatilities of 30 liquid Chinese stocks exceeding a certain threshold qq are carefully studied. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) test shows that 12 stocks exhibit scaling behaviors in the distributions of τqτ_q for different thresholds qq. …

We investigate the probability distribution of the volatility return intervals ττ for the Chinese stock market. We rescale both the probability distribution Pq(τ)P_{q}(τ) and the volatility return intervals ττ as Pq(τ)=1/τˉf(τ/τˉ)P_{q}(τ)=1/\barτ f(τ/\barτ) to obtain a uniform scaling curve for different threshold value qq. The scali…

We perform return interval analysis of 1-min {\em{realized volatility}} defined by the sum of absolute high-frequency intraday returns for the Shanghai Stock Exchange Composite Index (SSEC) and 22 constituent stocks of SSEC.

We study the volatility time series of 1137 most traded stocks in the US stock markets for the two-year period 2001-02 and analyze their return intervals ττ, which are time intervals between volatilities above a given threshold qq.
