Solve all the parts via python code separately

Solution

It seems like you've uploaded an image file, but the problem involves working with a dataset in Python. Let's break down each step and provide the necessary Python code based on your problem description.

Step 1: Reading the Dataset

python
import pandas as pd # Load the dataset (Assuming 'SPY-STK.csv' is in the working directory) stock_data = pd.read_csv('/path/to/SPY-STK.csv') # Keep only 'bid_price_close' and 'time' columns stock_data = stock_data[['bid_price_close', 'time']] # Display the first few rows of the data print(stock_data.head())

You need to replace '/path/to/SPY-STK.csv' with the actual path to the CSV file you have.

Step 2: Calculating Percent Returns and Scaling by 100

To calculate the daily returns, we can use the formula: Percent Return=(Price at time tPrice at time t-1Price at time t-1)×100\text{Percent Return} = \left( \frac{\text{Price at time t} - \text{Price at time t-1}}{\text{Price at time t-1}} \right) \times 100

python
# Calculate the percent returns and scale them by 100 stock_data['percent_returns'] = stock_data['bid_price_close'].pct_change() * 100 # Store the percent returns in a pandas Series called 'one_day_returns' one_day_returns = stock_data['percent_returns'] # Display the calculated returns print(one_day_returns.head())

Step 3: Assigning Inverse Gamma Posterior Hyperparameters

The scipy.stats.invgamma function from the SciPy library is used to represent an inverse gamma distribution. You can assign hyperparameters as posterior_a and posterior_b and then use them to create the posterior distribution.

python
from scipy.stats import invgamma # Assign your Inverse Gamma posterior hyperparameters posterior_a = 5 # Example value, replace with actual posterior_b = 1 # Example value, replace with actual # Create the Inverse Gamma distribution posterior = invgamma(a=posterior_a, scale=posterior_b) # Now you can use 'posterior' to generate statistics or draw samples # Example: Mean of the distribution posterior_mean = posterior.mean() # Display the mean of the posterior distribution print("Posterior mean:", posterior_mean)

If you have specific values for posterior_a and posterior_b, replace the placeholders accordingly.

To Continue:

  • Let me know if you want help with implementing more statistics related to the posterior or sampling.
  • Do you need further explanation on how the Inverse Gamma distribution is used in the Bayesian model?

Relative Questions:

  1. What are the basic properties of the inverse gamma distribution?
  2. How do hyperparameters affect the shape of the posterior distribution?
  3. How can we visualize stock return distributions using Python?
  4. How can the Inverse Gamma distribution be used to estimate variance?
  5. What are other common prior distributions used in Bayesian statistics?

Tip: When working with financial data, always check for missing values or outliers, as these can significantly affect your calculations.
