This paper expands the emerging literature on volatility forecasting for China’s oil market by exploring the predictive ability of higher-order moments (skewness, kurtosis, hyperskewness, and hyperkurtosis) based on high-frequency data. Our investigation is originally based on the...

In a novel take on the gradual information diffusion hypothesis of Hong et al. (2007), we examine the predictive role of industries over aggregate stock market volatility. Using high frequency data for U.S. industry indexes and various heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) type and machine learning...

This study used the ultraviolet-visible (UV–vis), synchronous fluorescence, and excitation-emission matrix (EEM) spectroscopy coupled with zeta potential and particle size to explore the DOM solutions properties with the addition of two kinds of coagulants, including aluminum chloride and...

We introduce a variation of Yu(2011)'s weighted bagging estimation method and show it substantially improves the predictability of the equity premium and other economic variables. This new machine learning method sharply improves equity premium predictability of many models with significant...
