An interval-valued GARCH model for range-measured return processes
Abstract
Range-measured return contains more information than the traditional scalar-valued return. In this paper, we propose to model the [low, high] price range as a random interval and suggest an interval-valued GARCH (Int-GARCH) model for the corresponding range-measured return process. Under the general framework of random sets, the model properties are investigated. Parameters are estimated by the maximum likelihood method, and the asymptotic properties are established. Empirical application to stocks and financial indices data sets suggests that our Int-GARCH model overall outperforms the traditional GARCH for both in-sample estimation and out-of-sample prediction of volatility.
