Analysts' forecasts are important for providing useful guidance to investors, especially individual or small investors, and therefore it becomes critical to identify the elements which can potentially increase errors in analysts' forecasts. This study investigates potential factors which can lead to errors in forecasting by analysts, specifically in terms of the level and attributes of corporate earnings. Utilizing a sample of firms listed on the Korean stock markets, this study provides evidence that firms with more volatile and unpredictable earnings feature less accurate analyst forecasts. This study fills a void in the literature by conducting empirical tests for earnings attributes in terms of volatility and unpredictability that could potentially undermine the forecast accuracy. The negative association between the quality of earnings and forecast accuracy is more pronounced for firms with negative net income values. Additional analysis demonstrates that forecast accuracy is significantly lower for the fourth quarter than for other fiscal quarters and that fourth quarter earnings tend to be more volatile and unpredictable. This study contributes to the literature by providing new empirical evidence regarding the comprehensive effects of earnings quality and level on analysts' forecasting accuracy and further suggests potential factors contributing to the fourth quarter anomaly in analyst forecasts in terms of earnings attributes.

Demand side management (DSM) program has been frequently used for reducing the system peak load because it gives utilities and independent system operator (ISO) a convenient way to control and change amount of electric usage of end-use customer. Planning and operating methods are needed to efficiently manage a DSM program. This paper presents a planning method for DSM program. A planning method for DSM program should include an electric load forecasting, because this is the most important factor in determining how much to reduce electric load. In this paper, load forecasting with the temperature stochastic modeling and the sensitivity to temperature of the electric load is used for improving load forecasting accuracy. The proposed planning method can also estimate the required day, hour and total capacity of DSM program using Monte-Carlo simulation. The results of case studies are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed planning method.

변동성 모형을 이용한 국내의 주택가격에 대한 기존의 연구에서는 변동성모형을 어떻게 주택시장분석에 적용할 수 있는지를 보여주고 있지만 최근 국내의 지역주택시장들에 나타나는 유의미한 변화를 반영하는데는 한계가 존재할 수 밖에 없다. 본 연구에서는 변동성모형을 적용하여 전국의 각 지역별 주택시장을 분석하고 이를 통해 미래의 지역별 주택시장의 가격변동을 실제적으로 예측하였다. AR(1)-ARCH(1), AR(1)-GARCH(1,1), AR(1)-EGARCH(1,1,1) 모형을 통하여 지역주택시장에 ARCH 및 GARCH효과가 존재하는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 각 지역의 예측력을 비교하여 지역별 최적예측모형을 선정하였으며, 이러한 지역별 최적모형의 선정이 실제적으로 어떻게 이용될 수 있는지를 보여주기 위하여 2017년 하반기의 각 지역주택시장의 가격변동을 선정된 지역별 최적모형을 이용하여 예측하였다.

In this paper, we investigate the statistical correlation of the time series for temperature measured at the heat box in the automobile drying process. We show, in terms of the sample variance, that a significant non-linear correlation exists in the time series that consist of absolute temperature changes. To investigate further the non-linear correlation, we utilize the volatility, an important concept in the financial market, and induce volatility time series from absolute temperature changes. We analyze the time series of volatilities in terms of the de-trended fluctuation analysis (DFA), a method especially suitable for testing the long-range correlation of non-stationary data, from the correlation perspective. We uncover that the volatility exhibits a long-range correlation regardless of the window size. We also analyze the cross correlation between two (inlet and outlet) volatility time series to characterize any correlation between the two, and disclose the dependence of the correlation strength on the time lag. These results can contribute as important factors to the modeling of forecasting and management of the heat box's temperature.

The purpose of this study is to construct the ACD model for the block trading volume duration. The ACD model based on the block trading volume duration is referred to as Volume ACD (VACD) in this study. By integrating with GARCH-type models, the VACD based GARCH type models, which include VACD-GARCH, VACD-IGARCH and VACD-FIGARCH models, are set up. This study selects Chunghwa Telecom (CHT) Inc., offering the America Depository Receipt (ADR) in NYSE, to investigate the block trading volume duration in Taiwanese equity market. The empirical results indicate that the long memory in volume duration series increases dependence at level of volatility clustering by VACD (2,1)-FIGARCH (3,d,1) model. Moreover, the VACD (2,1)-IGARCH (1,1) exhibits relatively better performance of prediction on capturing block trading volume duration. This volatility model is more appropriate in this study to portray the change of the CHT Inc. prices and provides more information about the volatility process for investment strategy, which can be a reference indicator of financial asset pricing, hedging strategy and risk management.

A sustainable production of electricity is essential for low carbon green growth in South Korea. The generation of wind power as renewable energy has been rapidly growing around the world. Undoubtedly wind energy is unlimited in potential. However, due to its own intermittency and volatility, there are difficulties in the effective harvesting of wind energy and the integration of wind power into the current electric power grid. To cope with this, many works have been done for wind speed and power forecasting. It is reported that, compared with physical persistent models, statistical techniques and computational methods are more useful for short-term forecasting of wind power. Among them, support vector regression (SVR) has much attention in the literature. This paper proposes an SVR based wind speed forecasting. To improve the forecasting accuracy, a fuzzy clustering is adopted in the process of SVR modeling. An illustrative example is also given by using real-world wind farm dataset. According to the experimental results, it is shown that the proposed method provides better forecasts of wind power.

This article is concerned with the issue of forecasting and evaluation of threshold-asymmetric volatility models for time series of count data. In particular, threshold integer-valued models with conditional Poisson and conditional negative binomial distributions are highlighted. Based on the parametric bootstrap method, some evaluation measures are discussed in terms of one-step ahead forecasting. A parametric bootstrap procedure is explained from which directional measure, magnitude measure and expected cost of misclassification are discussed to evaluate competing models. The cholera data in Bangladesh from 1988 to 2016 is analyzed as a real application.

Baltic Dry Index (BDI) is difficult to forecast because of the high volatility and complexity. To improve the BDI forecasting ability, this study apply Bayesian variable selection method with a large number of predictors. Our estimation results based on the BDI and all predictors from January 2000 to September 2021 indicate that the out-of-sample prediction ability of the ADL model with the variable selection is superior to that of the AR model in terms of point and density forecasting. We also find that critical predictors for the BDI change over forecasts horizon. The lagged BDI are being selected as an key predictor at all forecasts horizon, but commodity price, the clarksea index, and interest rates have additional information to predict BDI at mid-term horizon. This implies that time variations of predictors should be considered to predict the BDI.

기계학습(Machine Learning)은 인공 지능의 한 분야로, 데이터를 이용하여 기계를 학습시켜 기계 스스로가 데이터 분석 및 예측을 하게 만드는 것과 관련한 컴퓨터 과학의 한 영역을 일컫는다. 그중에서 SVM(Support Vector Machines)은 주로 분류와 회귀 분석을 목적으로 사용되는 모델이다. 어느 두 집단에 속한 데이터들에 대한 정보를 얻었을 때, SVM 모델은 주어진 데이터 집합을 바탕으로 하여 새로운 데이터가 어느 집단에 속할지를 판단해준다. 최근 들어서 많은 금융전문가는 기계학습과 막대한 데이터가 존재하는 금융 분야와의 접목 가능성을 보며 기계학습에 집중하고 있다. 그러면서 각 금융사는 고도화된 알고리즘과 빅데이터를 통해 여러 금융업무 수행이 가능한 로봇(Robot)과 투자전문가(Advisor)의 합성어인 로보어드바이저(Robo-Advisor) 서비스를 발 빠르게 제공하기 시작했다. 따라서 현재의 금융 동향을 고려하여 본 연구에서는 기계학습 방법의 하나인 SVM을 활용하여 매매성과를 올리는 방법에 대해 제안하고자 한다. SVM을 통한 예측대상은 한국형 변동성지수인 VKOSPI이다. VKOSPI는 금융파생상품의 한 종류인 옵션의 가격에 영향을 미친다. VKOSPI는 흔히 말하는 변동성과 같고 VKOSPI 값은 옵션의 종류와 관계없이 옵션 가격과 정비례하는 특성이 있다. 그러므로 VKOSPI의 정확한 예측은 옵션 매매에서의 수익을 낼 수 있는 중요한 요소 중 하나이다. 지금까지 기계학습을 기반으로 한 VKOSPI의 예측을 다룬 연구는 없었다. 본 연구에서는 SVM을 통해 일 중의 VKOSPI를 예측하였고, 예측 내용을 바탕으로 옵션 매매에 대한 적용 가능 여부를 실험하였으며 실제로 향상된 매매 성과가 나타남을 증명하였다.
