Abstract

In this paper, we establish a robustification of Elliott’s on-line EM algorithm for modelling asset prices within a hidden Markov model (HMM). In this HMM framework, parameters of the model are guided by a Markov chain in discrete time, parameters of the asset returns are therefore able to switch between different regimes. The parameters are estimated through an on-line algorithm, which utilizes incoming information from the market and leads to adaptive optimal estimates. We robustify this algorithm step by step against additive outliers appearing in the observed asset prices with the rationale to better handle possible peaks or missings in asset returns.

1
In mathematical rigor, the IF, when it exists, is the Gâteaux derivative of T into the direction of the tangent δ x F. For details, also on stronger notions like Hadamard or Fréchet differentiability, see, e.g., Fernholz [8] or [25, Chap. 1].
 
2
Names OBRE and MBRE are used, e.g., in Hampel et al. [16] while OMSE is used in Ruckdeschel and Horbenko [30].
 
3
Usually Λ θ is the logarithmic derivative of the density w.r.t. the parameter, i.e., \(\varLambda _{\theta }(x) = \partial /\partial \theta \log p_{\theta }(x)\).
