John Randal Estimating the Variability of Financial Returns Evolving volatility and heavy-tailed returns are among the stylised facts of stock returns. We consider robust estimation of the moving volatility and find that an estimator based on the t family of distributions is easy to compute and performs well in simulation studies. A correction factor which allows robust estimation of moving standard deviation is developed. |
