Analysis of Financial Time Series, 3rd Edition

Ruey S. Tsay

Description

This book provides a broad, mature, and systematic introduction to current financial econometric models and their applications to modeling and prediction of financial time series data. It utilizes real-world examples and real financial data throughout the book to apply the models and methods described.

The author begins with basic characteristics of financial time series data before covering three main topics:

Analysis and application of univariate financial time series
The return series of multiple assets
Bayesian inference in finance methods

Key features of the new edition include additional coverage of modern day topics such as arbitrage, pair trading, realized volatility, and credit risk modeling; a smooth transition from S-Plus to R; and expanded empirical financial data sets.

The overall objective of the book is to provide some knowledge of financial time series, introduce some statistical tools useful for analyzing these series and gain experience in financial applications of various econometric methods.

New to Edition

The new edition includes new developments in financial econometrics such as realized volatility, bi-power variation, credit risk management, default probabilities, pair trading, and dynamic factor models, among others.
Empirical data sets have been updated and expanded throughout.
R has replaced S-Plus so as to make the book less dependent on commercial software.
User comments have been taken into serious consideration resulting in a reorganization of various sections and content for ease of understanding and the correction of minor errors.
As in previous editions, algebraic derivatives have been kept to a minimum and the balance between theory and application is emphasized.
There are extensive sets of exercises that reinforce the content. Abundant examples are spread throughout. References have been added and updated where applicable.
