• Title: Volatility Forecasting in Global Financial Markets Using TimeMixer
• Authors: Alex Li,
• Abstract summary: I apply TimeMixer, a state-of-the-art time series forecasting model, to predict the volatility of global financial assets. TimeMixer effectively captures both short-term and long-term temporal patterns by analyzing data across different scales. My empirical results reveal that while TimeMixer performs exceptionally well in short-term volatility forecasting, its accuracy diminishes for longer-term predictions.

• Abstract: Predicting volatility in financial markets, including stocks, index ETFs, foreign exchange, and cryptocurrencies, remains a challenging task due to the inherent complexity and non-linear dynamics of these time series. In this study, I apply TimeMixer, a state-of-the-art time series forecasting model, to predict the volatility of global financial assets. TimeMixer utilizes a multiscale-mixing approach that effectively captures both short-term and long-term temporal patterns by analyzing data across different scales. My empirical results reveal that while TimeMixer performs exceptionally well in short-term volatility forecasting, its accuracy diminishes for longer-term predictions, particularly in highly volatile markets. These findings highlight TimeMixer's strength in capturing short-term volatility, making it highly suitable for practical applications in financial risk management, where precise short-term forecasts are critical. However, the model's limitations in long-term forecasting point to potential areas for further refinement.

  Multi-step stock price prediction over a long-term horizon is crucial for forecasting its volatility. Current solutions to multi-step stock price prediction are mostly designed for single-step, classification-based predictions. We combine a deep hierarchical variational-autoencoder (VAE) and diffusion probabilistic techniques to do seq2seq stock prediction. Our model is shown to outperform state-of-the-art solutions in terms of its prediction accuracy and variance.

  Traditional time-series econometric methods often appear incapable of capturing the true complexity of the multi-level interactions driving the price dynamics. By adopting a state-of-the-art second-order optimization algorithm, we train a Bayesian bilinear neural network with temporal attention. By addressing the use of predictive distributions to analyze errors and uncertainties associated with the estimated parameters and model forecasts, we thoroughly compare our Bayesian model with traditional ML alternatives.

  There are two characteristics of time series, that is, long-term trend and short-term fluctuation. The existing prediction methods often do not distinguish between them, which reduces the accuracy of the prediction model. Three prediction sub-networks are constructed to predict long-term trends, short-term fluctuations and the final value to be predicted.
