Comparison of Multiscale Methods in the Stock Markets for Detrended Cross-correlation Analysis and Cross-sample Entropy
Abstract
In this paper, we employ multiscale cross-sample entropy (MSCE), multiscale detrended cross-correlation analysis (MSDCCA) and DCCA cross-correlation coefficient (σDCCA) measurement to investigate the relationship between time series among different stock markets. We report the results of synchronism and cross-correlation behaviors in US and Chinese stock markets by these three methods. It can be concluded that the MSCE analysis point out the similarity on the cross-correlation among the stock markets while the MSCE makes it difficult to distinguish the indices in the same region and identify the difference and uniqueness of stock markets. However, both the MSDCCA analysis and σDCCA analysis reflect the similarity and uniqueness on the cross-correlation behaviors and reach the consistency. Furthermore, MSDCCA gives detailed multiscale cross-correlation structures and show some new interesting characteristics and conclusions, while the multiscale analysis by σDCCA provides a large amount of information on the cross-correlations and quantifies the level of cross-correlation more clearly and intuitively. MSDCCA and σDCCA methods may be more proper measures for the investigation of the cross-correlation between time series. We believe that such researches are relevant for a better understanding of the stock market mechanisms, and may lead to a better forecasting of the stock indices.
