  • Abstract
    Many traditional signal processing techniques in finance have limited ability to explain trading processes and distributional properties of the actual market prices. This is typically manifested in model misspecification and pricing and forecasting inaccuracy. For instance, the assumption that log stock returns are normally distributed is widely used in modern mathematical finance.
