摘要：This paper decomposes asset return into a linear combination of two parts based on price extremes, and the direction of the stock return is determined by the relative strength of these two parts. A simple transformation shows that direction prediction is equivalent to a ratio prediction. To model the dynamics of this ratio series, a conditional autoregressive shape model with beta (henceforth B-CARS) density is proposed. The specification of the B-CARS model is much like the GARCH model and continuously valued, which makes it totally different from classification-based qualitative models. An empirical study is performed on the US stock market, and the results show that the predicting power of the B-CARS model is not only statistically significant but also economically valuable. We also compare the B-CARS model with the probit model, and the results demonstrate that the proposed B-CARS model outperforms the probit model for return direction forecasting in an economic sense. The B-CARS model provides a new framework for return direction forecasting.
