Extracting information from the signature of a financial data stream

Gyurkó, Lajos Gergely, Lyons, Terry, Kontkowski, Mark et al.

Understand

Market events such as order placement and order cancellation are examples of the complex and substantial flow of data that surrounds a modern financial engineer.

  • New mathematical techniques, developed to describe the interactions of complex oscillatory systems (known as the theory of rough paths) provides new tools for analysing and describing these data streams and extracting the vital information.
  • In this paper we illustrate how a very small number of coefficients obtained from the signature of financial data can be sufficient to classify this data for subtle underlying features and make useful predictions.
  • This paper presents financial examples in which we learn from data and then proceed to classify fresh streams.
