Contribution
It introduces a detailed analysis of the fluctuating moments of stock return ensembles, highlighting their stochastic behavior and correlation properties.
Findings
Central moments fluctuate over time as stochastic processes
Probability density functions of moments are characterized
Temporal correlations of moments are analyzed
Abstract
We select n stocks traded in the New York Stock Exchange and we form a statistical ensemble of daily stock returns for each of the k trading days of our database from the stock price time series. We analyze each ensemble of stock returns by extracting its first four central moments. We observe that these moments are fluctuating in time and are stochastic processes themselves. We characterize the statistical properties of central moments by investigating their probability density function and temporal correlation properties.
