Part 2: Hidden Markov Model - Regime Detection

Theory

HMMs model sequential data with hidden states. For market regimes:

State Transition:

P(s_t | s_{t-1}) = A_{s_{t-1}, s_t}

Emission (Gaussian):

P(r_t | s_t) = \mathcal{N}(r_t; \mu_{s_t}, \sigma_{s_t}^2)

Goal: Infer \{s_1, \ldots, s_T\} given \{r_1, \ldots, r_T\}

In [4]:

# Fit HMM to detect regimes

Part 3: MCMC - Bayesian Parameter Estimation

Theory

Estimate posterior distribution of return parameters using MCMC:

Likelihood:

L(\mu, \sigma | \mathbf{r}) = \prod_{t=1}^T \mathcal{N}(r_t; \mu, \sigma^2)

Prior: \mu \sim \mathcal{N}(0, 0.1^2), \sigma \sim \text{LogNormal}(\log(0.02), 0.5)

Posterior: p(\mu, \sigma | \mathbf{r}) \propto L(\mu, \sigma | \mathbf{r}) \cdot p(\mu) \cdot p(\sigma)

We'll estimate parameters for each detected regime separately.

Part 5: Information Theory - Asset Dependency Analysis

Shannon Entropy measures uncertainty:

Mutual Information measures dependency:

Properties:

• I(X;Y) = 0 if X and Y are independent

Summary

What We Demonstrated

1. HMM - Detected 3 market regimes with {accuracy:.0%} accuracy

   • Identified transitions between Bull/Bear/Neutral states
   • Learned regime-specific return distributions

2. MCMC - Bayesian parameter estimation

   • Quantified uncertainty in return estimates
   • Showed full posterior distributions
   • {acceptance_rate:.0%} acceptance rate

3. Grid Search - Portfolio optimization

   • Found optimal BTC/ETH allocation: {optimal_w_btc:.0%}/{optimal_w_eth:.0%}
   • Maximized Sharpe ratio: {optimal_sharpe * np.sqrt(252):.2f}
   • Visualized efficient frontier

4. Information Theory - Dependency analysis

   • Measured entropy: {btc_entropy:.2f} bits (BTC), {eth_entropy:.2f} bits (ETH)
   • Quantified mutual information: {mi_btc_eth:.2f} bits
   • Revealed time-varying correlations

Key Insights

• Markets exhibit clear regime structure
• Parameter uncertainty is quantifiable via Bayesian methods
• Diversification improves risk-adjusted returns
• Asset dependencies are dynamic and non-linear
