Bayesian Disorder Detection Models

Caio Natividade (Deutsche Bank)
25/03/11

Our method is based on the Bayesian disorder detection framework. The theory is to identify a likelihood function that detects switches in Brownian motions from one with upward drift to one with a downward drift or one with no drift. The Brownian motions are parameterised by first and second moments defined through in-sample optimisation. The detection mechanism doesn't act alone, it is helped by a peak-trough identification algorithm, highlighted in a paper by Rodionov.
