ABSTRACT
Volatility forecasting is an important area of research in financial markets and lot of
effort has been expended in improving volatility models since better forecasts translate
in to better pricing of options and better risk management.
In this direction this paper attempts to evaluate the ability of eight different statistical
and econometric volatility forecasting models for predicting the stock price volatility
using S&P CNX Nifty Index return series.
For this purpose ten year S&P CNX Nifty daily Index is taken .Firstly the stationary of
the daily returns is tested with Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test. Then parameters for the
various models are calculated. After forecasting the weekly variance, the results of
these competing models are evaluated on the basis of two categories of evaluation
measures symmetric and asymmetric error statistics.
Based on an out of the sample forecasts and a majority of evaluation measures we find
that GARCH (1, 1) method will lead to better volatility forecasts in the Indian stock
market. The same model performed better on the basis of asymmetric error statistics
also.

INTRODUCTION AND THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
Volatility forecasting is an important task in financial markets, and it has held the
attention of academics and practitioners over the period of time. Volatility is not the
same as risk. When it is interpreted as uncertainty, it becomes a key input to many
investment decisions and portfolio creations. Investors and portfolio managers have
certain levels of risk which they can bear. A good forecast of the volatility of asset
prices over the investment holding period is a good starting point for assessing
investment risk.
Volatility is the most important variable in the pricing of derivative securities, whose
trading volume has quadrupled in recent years. To price an option, we need to know the
volatility of the underlying asset from now until the option expires. In fact, the market
convention is to list option prices in terms of volatility units. Nowadays, one can buy
derivatives that are written on volatility itself, in which case the definition and
measurement of volatility will be clearly specified in the derivative contracts. In these
new contracts, volatility now becomes the underlying "asset." So volatility forecast and
a second prediction on the volatility of volatility over the defined period is needed to
price such derivative contracts.
Financial risk management has taken a central role since the first Basel Accord was
established in 1996. This effectively makes volatility forecasting a compulsory risk-
management exercise for many financial institutions around the world. Banks and
trading houses have to set aside reserve capital of at least three times that of value-at-
risk (VaR), which is defined as the minimum expected loss with a 1-percent confidence
level for a given time horizon (usually one or ten days). Sometimes, a 5-percent critical
value is used. Such VaR estimates are readily available given volatility forecast, mean
estimate, and a normal distribution assumption for the changes in total asset value.

When the normal distribution assumption is disputed, which is very often the case,
volatility is still needed in the simulation process used to produce the VaR figures.
Financial market volatility can have a wide repercussion on the economy as a whole.
The incidents caused by the terrorists' attack on September 11, 2001, and the recent
financial reporting scandals in the United States have caused great turmoil in financial
markets on several continents and a negative impact on the world economy. This is
clear evidence of the important link between financial market uncertainty and public
confidence. For this reason, policy makers often rely on market estimates of volatility
as a barometer for the vulnerability of financial markets and the economy. In the United
States, the Federal Reserve explicitly takes into account the volatility of stocks, bonds,
currencies, and commodities in establishing its monetary policy (Sylvia Nasar 1992).
The Bank of England is also known to make frequent references to market sentiment
and option implied densities of key financial variables in its monetary policy meetings.
Volatility is the variability of the asset price changes over a particular period of time
and it is very hard to predict it correctly and consistently. In financial markets volatility
presents a strange paradox to the market participants, academicians and policy makers
without volatility superior returns are can not be earned, since a risk free security offers
meager returns, on the other hand if it is high it will lead to losses for the market
participants and represent costs to the over all economy. Therefore there is no
gainsaying with the statement that volatility estimation is an essential part in most
finance decisions be it asset allocation, derivative pricing or risk management. However
the question as to what model should be used to calculate volatility, there is no unique
answer as different volatility models were proposed in the literature and were being
used by practitioners and these varying models lead to different volatility estimates. In
the past two decades this has been a fertile area for research in financial economics for
both academicians as well as practitioners. Unfortunately most of the work was done in
the context of developed markets in the context of stock and forex markets. This paper
is an attempt to examine the efficacy of the competing volatility forecasting models in
the Indian market.

The expected volatility of the financial markets is a key variable in many financial
investment decisions. For example, it is a common practice to reduce asset allocation
decisions to a two-dimensional decision problem by focusing solely on the expected
return and risk of an asset or portfolio, with risk being related to the volatility of the
returns.
Considering the significance of the volatility forecasting in asset pricing, option pricing,
in the economic literature, a large number of volatility forecasting techniques have been
evolved over the years and the effort is still on to search for new alternative techniques.
These volatility-forecasting techniques can be categorized into the four classes:
1. HISVOL; for historical volatility models, which includes random walk,
historical averages of squared returns, or absolute returns. Also included in this
category are time series models based on historical volatility using moving
averages, exponential weights, autoregressive models, or even fractionally
integrated autoregressive absolute returns, for example. Note that HISVOL
models can be highly sophisticated. The multivariate VAR realized volatility
model in Andersen et al. (2002) is classified here as a "HISVOL" model. Allmodels in this group model volatility directly omitting the goodness of fit of the
returns distribution or any other variables such as option prices.
2. GARCH; any members of the ARCH, GARCH, EGARCH, and so forth
families are included.
3. ISD; for option implied standard deviation, based on the Black-Scholes model
and various generalizations.
4. SV; for stochastic volatility model forecasts.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
Review of literature .means examining and analyzing the various literatures available in
any field either for references purposes or for further research.
Further research can be done by identifying the areas which have not been studied and
in turn undertaking research to add value to the existing literature.
For the purpose of literature review various sources of information have been used.
Sources include books, journals as well as some literature papers.
Dr. S S S Kumar : Forecasting Volatility- Evidence from Indian
Stock And Forex Markets
In his project Dr. Kumar, to forecast volatility of Indian stock and Forex markets,
created models using traditional techniques such as Random walk, Historical mean,
Moving average, Simple regression and EWMA and the modern technique such as
GARCH family model.
After forecasting the volatility of Indian Stock and Forex Market the competing models
are evaluated on the basis of two categories of evaluation measures symmetric and
asymmetric error statistics.
.
Empirical Result:
Based on an out of the sample forecasts and a majority of evaluation measures he finds
that GARCH (4, 1) and EWMA methods will lead to better volatility forecasts in the
Indian stock market and the GARCH (5, 1) will achieve the same in the forex market.
The same models perform better on the basis of asymmetric error statistics also.

Vedat Akgiray: - Conditional Heteroscedasticity in Time Series of
Stock Returns: Evidence and Forecasts
This article presents new evidence about the time-series behavior of stock prices. Daily
return series exhibit significant levels of second-order dependence, and they cannot be
modeled as linear white-noise processes. A reasonable return generating process is
empirically shown to be a first-order autoregressive process with conditionally
heteroscedastic innovations. In particular, generalized autoregressive conditional
heteroscedastic GARCH processes fit to data very satisfactorily. Various out-of-sampleforecasts of monthly return variances are generated and compared statistically.
It is discovered that daily series exhibit much higher degrees of statistical dependence
than has been reported in previous studies. This finding is the result of recognizing the
possibility of nonlinear stochastic processes generating security prices. The dependence
structure is then exploited to obtain forecasts of the conditional moments of return
distributions. Forecasts of conditional variances in particular are shown to have
reasonably high accuracy.
Conclusion: Forecasts based on the GARCH model are found to be superior.
Ser-Huang Poon & Clive W. J. Granger: -Forecasting Volatility in
Financial Markets: A Review
This paper has concentrated on two questions: is volatility forecastable? If it is, which
method will provide the best forecasts? To consider these questions, a number of basic
methodological viewpoints need to be discussed, mostly about the evaluation of
forecasts. What exactly is being forecast? Does the time interval (the observation

3.1 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
For many years economists, statisticians, and teachers of finance have been interested
in developing and testing models of forecasting volatility of various financial series
data. There are various traditional forecasting techniques, which are commonly used to
forecast volatility such as Historical Mean, Moving Average, Simple regression etc.
and there are certain modern volatility forecasting techniques such as GARCH family
models etc.
In this project various traditional and modern forecasting techniques are being to
forecast the volatility of Indian stock and Among the selected models, the model which
is able to closely predict the stock price volatility is been found out.

3.3 SAMPLE SIZE AND DATA SOURCES
In this study S&P CNX Nifty index has been considered as a proxy for the stockmarket and accordingly the closing index values were collected from Jan 1,1997 till
March 30, 2007.
Out of the total observations the data pertaining to Jan 1,1997 till March 2004 totaling
126 weekly observations of NIFTY were used for estimation of the model parameters
and the remaining observations will be used for out of sample forecasting also known
as hold out sample. Therefore the first week for which out of sample forecasts are
obtained is 1st
week of April, 2004 and the out of sample forecasts were constructed for
157 weeks till March 2007. The daily observations were converted into continuous
compounded returns in the standard method as the log differences:
Rt = ln (It / It-1)
Where, It stands for the closing index value on dayt;
Following Merton (1980) the weekly volatility is obtained as the sum of the squared
daily returns in that week which is shown below:
2
= Rt2
Where Rt is the daily return on dayt and N is the number of trading days in the week
under question.

3.4 TEST OF STATIONARITY
Dickey-fuller Test for unit root:
Dickey fuller statistic test for the unit root in the time series data rt is regressed against
rt-1 to test for unit root in a time series random walk model.
This is given as:
rt= rt-1 + ut
if is significant equal to 1, then the stochastic variable rt is said to be having unit root.
A series with unit root is said to be un-stationary and does not follow random walk.
There are three most popular dickey-fuller tests for testing unit root in a series.
The above equation can be rewritten as:
rt= rt-1 + ut
Here = (-1) and here it is tested if is equal to zero. rt is random walk if is equal to
zero. It is possible that time series could behave as a random walk with a drift. This
means that the value of rt may not center to zero and thus a constant should be added to
the random walk equation. A linear trend value could also be added align with the
constant it the equation, which results in a null hypothesis reflecting stationary
deviations from trend.
The Augmented Dickey-fuller Test:
In conducting the DF test as above, it is assumed that the error term ut was uncorrelated.
But in case the ut are correlated, Dickey and Fuller have developed a test, known as the
augmented Dickey- Fuller ( ADF) test. The ADF test consists of estimating the
following regression:
Yt= 1 + 2t + Yt-1 + i Yt-i + t

Where, tis a pure whitenoise term and Yt-1 = (Yt-1-Yt-2), Yt-2 = (Yt-2-Yt-3),etc. The
number of lagged difference terms to include is often determined empirically, the idea
being to include enough terms so the error term in above equation is serially correlated.
In ADF we still test whether =0 and the ADF test follow the same asymptotic
distribution as the DF statistic, so the same critical value can be used.

3.5 AUTO-CORRELATION
The term auto-correlation may be defined as correlation between members of series of
observation ordered in time or space. In the regression context, the classical linear
regression model assumes that such that autocorrelation doesnt exist in the
disturbances ui.
Symbolically
E (ui uj) = 0 (i j)
Put simply, the classical model assumes that the disturbance term relating to any
observation is not influenced by the disturbance term relating to any other observation.
For example: if we are dealing with quarterly time series data involving the regression
of output on labour and capital inputs and if, say there is a labour strike affecting output
in one quarter, there is no reason to believe that this disruption will be carried out over
to the next quarter. That is, if output is lower this quarter, there is no reason to believe
that this disruption will be carried over to the next quarter.

3.6 COMPETING MODELS
Taking cues from the earlier studies in the international context mentioned in the
literature review this work examines the forecasting capabilities of the following
models:
1. Historical mean
2. Moving average (5 models)
3. Simple regression
4. GARCH models
The models that were considered in this particular study are not exhaustive but cover a
very large variety of models ranging from nave models to the advanced models like
GARCH and the preferred model by practitioners viz.
In the following paragraphs a brief description of all the candidate models are been
given:
1. Historical Mean ModelAssuming the conditional expectation of the volatility constant, this model forecasts
volatility as the historical average of the past observed volatilities
where t = 378..534
2. Moving Average ModelIn the historic mean model the forecast is based on all the available observations
and each observation whether it is very old or immediate is given equal weight this
may lead to stale prices affecting the forecasts. This is adjusted in a moving
averages method which is a traditional time series technique in which the
-

volatility is defined as the equally weighted average of realized volatilities in the
past w weeks.
The choice of w is rather arbitrary and in this paper we investigate five models
13, 26, 52, 104 and 260 weeks.
3. Simple RegressionIn this method the familiar regression of actual volatilities on lagged values is run,
in other words it is the first autoregression is performed on the first part of data
which is meant for estimating the parameters and the estimates thus obtained were
used for forecasting the volatility for the next month. Accordingly the first part
involves running the following regression:
2
= + .2
t-1
and are estimated over the 7 year period from Jan 1997 till Mar 2004. Now for
the next forecast the volatility for the first week of April 2004 the parameters and
are reestimated by omitting the most distant past and including the latest actual
volatility observation. This process is repeated and thus the estimation window moves
forward. By following this methodology we actually utilize the time-varying
parameters for each week.

4. ARCH and GARCHARCH stands for autoregressive conditionally heteroskedasticity and these models
are a sophisticated group of time series models initially introduced by Engle (1982)
and ARCH models capture the volatility clustering phenomenon usually observed in
financial time series data. In the linear ARCH (q) model the time varying conditional
variance is postulated to be a linear function of the past q squared innovations. In
other words variance is modeled as a constant plus a distributed lag on the squared
residual terms from earlier periods
rt = + t and t2= +i.t-12
Where t ~ iid N (0, 1) For stability .I < 1.0 and theoretically q may assume any
number but generally it is determined based on some information criteria like AIC or
BIC. In financial markets the ARCH (1) model is most oftenly used and this is a very
simple model that exhibits constant unconditional variance but non-constant conditional
variance. Accordingly the conditional variance is modeled as
t2= 0 + 1. t-12
As with simple regression the parameters in ARCH and GARCH models (discussed
next) are estimated at weekly intervals using a rolling window of weekly 7 year
window. The problem with the ARCH models is it involves estimation of a large
number of parameters and if some of the parameters become negative they lead to
difficulties in forecasting. Bollerslev (1986) proposed a Generalized ARCH or GARCH
(p, q) model where volatility at time t depends on the observed data at t-1, t-2, t-3
.. t-q as well as on volatilities at t-1, t-2, t-3 ... t-p.
The advantage of GARCH formulation is that though recent innovations enter the
model it involves only estimation of a few parameters hence there will be little chance
that they will ill-behaved. In GARCH there will be two equations conditional mean
equation given below:
i-1
q

rt = + t
and the conditional variance equation shown below,
t2= +i.t-12 +i.t-12
the parameters in both the equations are estimated simultaneously using maximum
likelihood methods once a distribution for the innovations t has been specified
generally it is assumed that they are Gaussian.
The simplest and most commonly used member of the GARCH family is the GARCH
(1, 1) model shown below
t2 = + .t-12+.t-12
Where,
t2 = variance of the current period
= intercept
t-12
= lag variable of residual
= parameter of error terms lag variable
t-12 = variance of last period
= parameter of lag variance
Following Schwarz Information Criteria and Akiake Information Criteria we found that
the best model in the GARCH (p, q) class for p [1, 5] and q [1, 2] was a GARCH (1,1)
in the stock market. We also tested for whether the GARCH (1,1) adequately captured
all the persistence in the variance of returns by using Ljung-Box Q- statistic at the 36th
lag of the standardized squared residuals was 37.498 (p = 0.4) indicating that the
residuals are not serially correlated.

In our forecasting exercise first we estimated the GARCH parameters using the
estimation period i.e., 1st
week of Jan 1997 to last week of March 2004 for Nifty and
then used these parameters to obtain the forecasts for the trading days in 1st
week of
April 2004 and these daily forecasts were aggregated to obtain the forecast for the
weeks of April 2004. Then the beginning and end observations for parameter 4 for
conserving space and to maintain the flow the values are not presented and are
available up on request estimation were adjusted by including the data for 1st
week of
March 2004 and omitting the data pertaining to 1st
week of Jan 1997. The procedure is
repeated for every week using a rolling window of 7 years.

3.7 ERROR MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUES
Previous research found that the choice of the best model depends on the error
measurement that depends on the ultimate purpose of the forecasting procedure. A
variety of error measurement techniques are available to evaluate and compare forecast
errors. Consistent with this research, the 47 monthly forecast errors generated from
each model in this study are compared by the Mean Absolute Error (MAE), the Root
Squared Error (RMSE) and the Mean Mixed Error: MME (U) and MME (O).
They are defined as follows:
Symmetric Loss Function:
Asymmetric Loss Function:
Where,
f,t
= Forecasted variance at time t
r,t = Realised variance at time t
n = Forecasted period
U = number of under-predictions and
O = number of over-predictions

The MAE and RMSE are most commonly used measures to test the predictive
capability of a model. They are not invariant to scale transformation and symmetric, a
property which is not very realistic and inconceivable under some circumstances.
The near zero value indicates a perfect fit. The error statistics reported by the above
measures assume that the underlying loss function is symmetric. From a practical
viewpoint, it is conceivable that many investors will not attribute equal importance to
both over and under-predictions of volatility of similar magnitude. Hence, the
assumption of symmetric is very restrictive. Following the paper of Brailsford and Fall
(1996), and Yu (2002) three statistics are designed to capture potential asymmetric in
the loss functionMean Mixed Error: MME (U) and MME (O). Where O is the
number of over predictions and U is the number of under predictions. MME (U)
penalize more the under predictions and MME (O) penalizes more the over predictions.

4.1 DESCRIPTIVE STATISTICS
The descriptive statistics of the data were presented in Table 1 and figures 1 plot the
return series of Nifty. The mean daily return for nifty was 0.3208% and the annualized
volatility for nifty is around 3.3481%, the series exhibit excess kurtosis indicating that
the unconditional return distributions are not normally. The Jarque-Bera (JB) statistic
confirms that normality is rejected at a p-value of almost 1. The plot of return series in
Figures 1 shows that there is persistence and volatility clustering is a feature of both the
markets which suggests that the volatility is predictable.

4.2 ADF RESULT
When the daily return of index is been tested for its unit root with four lag variable thefollowing result is obtained:
ADF Test Statistic -22.0141 1% Critical Value -3.4359
5% Critical Value -2.8632
10% Critical Value -2.5677
Table 2
Interpretation
As it can be easily seen from the ADF test, the null hypothesis of unit root can be
rejected as the estimated value is -22.0141, which in absolute value is greater than all
the critical value at 1%, 5% and 10% level of significance.
The absence of unit root means the series is stationary, combined with the phenomenon
of volatility clustering implies that volatility can be predicted and the forecasting ability
of the different models can be generalized to other time periods also.

4.3 AUTOCORRELATION
It can be noted from the Figure 6, that there is high correlation of variance at the 1 lag.
This indicates the fact that the current index weekly variance have a close relationship
with the previous week variance value.
Nifty Variance is significantly auto-correlated at lag 1.

4.4 FORECASTED RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
After testing for stationarity the weekly returns of S&P CNX Nifty data are being usedfor calculating parameters of the competing models. Then the weekly volatility had
been forecasted for three years starting from 1st
week of April 2004 to last week of
March, 2007. Then the forecasted values are tested through the Forecast Error
Statistics, which are explained in earlier section. After calculating the forecast errors
the models are ranked, where the model with low error assigned higher rank and vice
versa.
Table 4 and 5 in annexure present the results of the error statistics explained in the
earlier section. In this table we present the actual statistic errors along with the relative
ranking of that particular method among the competing models from the results we can
make the following observations.
Firstly, based on MAE, the MA1 model has been ranked 1 and GARCH model got
second ranking with a small difference. While on the basis of RMSE there is unanimity
of the superiority of GARCH method. Other models such as MA 5 ranked 3 and Simple
Regression Model ranked 5 and 2 as per MAE and RMSE respectively.
So according to Symmetric Loss function of Forecast Error Statistics, it can be said that
GARCH (1,1) model performed well in comparison of other competing models .And all
the measures in Symmetric loss function indicate historical mean model as the worst
performing model.
On the basis of asymmetric loss error statistics, one can note that only GARCH (1, 1)
model provides unbiased forecasts meaning the probability of over predictions is equal
to the probability of under predictions which is equal to 50% and the null hypothesis of
an equal number of under and over forecasts cannot be accepted for any other model
but for random walk model at conventional levels of significance. In

stock market the superior ranked models viz., GARCH models have a tendency to
produce over forecasts but with relatively small errors. On the basis of MME (U) the
best fit GARCH (1, 1) emerged better model and Simple regression model ranked 2nd
and on the basis of MME (O) the MA 1 method comes out as the best model while
GARCH (1, 1) ranked 6th

CONCLUSION
Volatility forecasting is an important area of research in financial markets and in this
paper we evaluate the comparative ability of different statistical and econometric
volatility forecasting models in the context of Indian stock.
A total of eight different models were considered in this study and these competing
models are evaluated on the basis of two classes of evaluation measures symmetric
and asymmetric error statistics.
Based on the out of sample forecasts and the number of evaluation measures that rank a
particular method as superior we can infer that GARCH (1, 1) will lead to
improvements in volatility forecasts in the stock market.
This finding is contrary to the findings of Brailsford and Faff (1996) who found no
single method as superior. But the results in stock market are similar to the findings of
Akigray (1989) and McMillan et al (2000). The inferences remain same even on the
basis of asymmetric error statistics i.e., GARCH (1, 1) model when over forecasts are
penalized heavily whereas MA 2 and MA 3 are penalized heavily for under forecasting.
