提出将时间重新标度为事件单位,使每个收益率对应相同的事件强度,从而让收益率分布更接近正态、共现更稳定,有助于分析师做出更可靠的推断。

Abstract

Investors take for granted that returns are recorded in units of time, such as days, months, and years. Yet some time periods include unusual events that reasonably cause asset prices to change, whereas other periods are relatively free of unusual events, in which case returns mostly reflect noise. Based on insights from information theory, the authors rescale time into event units so that each return is related to a common degree of event intensity. Their analysis reveals that when returns are measured in event units, their distributions are more normal and their co-occurrences are more stable, which enables analysts to form more reliable inferences.
