加密货币市场以极端波动性为特征,准确预测对风险管理和交易策略至关重要。传统确定性(点)预测方法难以涵盖波动性可能结果的全谱,凸显概率方法的重要性。本文提出基于多种基础模型(包括统计类HAR、GARCH、ARFIMA及机器学习类LASSO、SVR、MLP、Random Forest、LSTM)点预测结果的概率预测方法,用于估计加密货币已实现方差的条件分位数。据我们所知,这是首篇系统研究基于多模型预测构建加密货币波动率概率预测的方法。实证结果表明,针对比特币数据,通过残差模拟进行分位数估计(QRS)的方法在使用对数变换后的波动率数据时,显著优于更复杂的替代方案。同时,该概率堆叠框架展现出强鲁棒性,全面揭示了加密货币波动率预测中的不确定性与风险。本研究填补了文献空白,提出了专为加密货币市场设计的实用概率预测方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Cryptocurrency markets are characterized by extreme volatility, making accurate forecasts essential for effective risk management and informed trading strategies. Traditional deterministic (point) forecasting methods are inadequate for capturing the full spectrum of potential volatility outcomes, underscoring the importance of probabilistic approaches. To address this limitation, this paper introduces probabilistic forecasting methods that leverage point forecasts from a wide range of base models, including statistical (HAR, GARCH, ARFIMA) and machine learning (e.g. LASSO, SVR, MLP, Random Forest, LSTM) algorithms, to estimate conditional quantiles of cryptocurrency realized variance. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in the literature to propose and systematically evaluate probabilistic forecasts of variance in cryptocurrency markets based on predictions derived from multiple base models. Our empirical results for Bitcoin demonstrate that the Quantile Estimation through Residual Simulation (QRS) method, particularly when applied to linear base models operating on log-transformed realized volatility data, consistently outperforms more sophisticated alternatives. Additionally, we highlight the robustness of the probabilistic stacking framework, providing comprehensive insights into uncertainty and risk inherent in cryptocurrency volatility forecasting. This research fills a significant gap in the literature, contributing practical probabilistic forecasting methodologies tailored specifically to cryptocurrency markets.
