Multivariate stable distributions and their applications for modelling cryptocurrency-returns

Applications 2018-10-24 v1 Statistical Finance

Abstract

In this paper we extend the known methodology for fitting stable distributions to the multivariate case and apply the suggested method to the modelling of daily cryptocurrency-return data. The investigated time period is cut into 10 non-overlapping sections, thus the changes can also be observed. We apply bootstrap tests for checking the models and compare our approach to the more traditional extreme-value and copula models.
