A Markov Switching Model is a statistical model where the underlying parameters of a time series process change over time according to an unobserved, discrete-state Markov chain. In financial contexts, particularly crypto, this model identifies and quantifies distinct market regimes, such as periods of high or low volatility, or phases of market expansion and contraction.
Mechanism
The mechanism of a Markov Switching Model involves two primary components: a set of observable time series data, such as cryptocurrency prices or trading volumes, and a hidden Markov chain that governs the transitions between different unobserved states or regimes. At each time step, the model assigns a probability to the current state based on observed data and the transition probabilities between states, allowing for dynamic parameter adjustment.
Methodology
The methodology involves specifying the number of potential market regimes and estimating the model’s parameters, including regime-specific coefficients and transition probabilities, often using Expectation-Maximization algorithms. These models are employed for forecasting, risk assessment, and dynamically adjusting algorithmic trading strategies to prevailing market conditions. Rigorous validation of regime identification and predictive power is essential for its application in volatile crypto markets.
An adaptive leakage model maintains its detection fidelity by dynamically recalibrating its parameters in response to identified shifts in market behavior.
