摘要: Mixed data sampling (MIDAS) regression has received much attention in relation to modeling financial time series due its flexibility. Previous work mainly focused on forecasting of realized volatilities and rarely been used predict correlations. This paper considers a MIDAS approach forecast correlation matrices. A model is estimated via nonlinear least squares (NLS) using an analytical gradient-based optimization. Based the confidence set (MCS) procedure we discover that introduced superior compared established heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) terms out-of-sample accuracy. preeminence flexible data-driven origin model. The latter results higher economic value with regard portfolio management applications. improvement considerable for longer horizons both calm times during periods market turbulence.
