Bidimensional MMPP, or Bidimensional Markov Modulated Poisson Process, is a stochastic model employed in advanced quantitative analysis, particularly in fields like high-frequency crypto trading and options pricing. It describes event arrival rates that fluctuate over time according to a hidden Markov chain, where “bidimensional” implies the modeling of two interrelated processes, such as order arrivals and order cancellations, or bid and ask price changes. Its application seeks to capture the complex, state-dependent dynamics of market microstructure more accurately than simpler Poisson models.
Mechanism
The model operates by defining a finite set of market states, each associated with distinct Poisson process parameters for two types of events. A hidden Markov chain governs the transitions between these states, meaning the current state is not directly observable but influences the probability of observing certain event rates. For instance, one dimension might model aggressive buy order arrivals, and the other, aggressive sell order arrivals, with the underlying Markov chain reflecting market regimes like high volatility or low liquidity. Maximum likelihood estimation is typically used to calibrate the transition probabilities and Poisson rates from historical market data.
Methodology
Applying Bidimensional MMPP involves significant statistical rigor, beginning with the selection of appropriate market events to model and the definition of a suitable number of hidden states. Data scientists apply advanced econometric techniques to estimate the model’s parameters from large datasets of crypto trade and quote data, often employing expectation-maximization algorithms. Model validation includes backtesting its predictive accuracy against unseen data and assessing its utility in generating realistic market simulations for stress testing or optimizing institutional options trading algorithms, where understanding the interdependencies of market events is critical.
