Summary and open questions
Some movation for using clustering
Statistical modelling is difficult as the time series
are non stationary, e.g. economic regimes are changing, it
can be misleading to use data from a too distant past
are near efficient, i.e. behaving nearly like random walks (cf.
the efficient-market hypothesis (Fama, 1970) [5])
have a low signal-to-noise ratio, i.e. measure artifacts hide
information in random fluctuations
are in an unfavorable statistical setting, too few relevant
observations (length) wrt the number of variables (time series)

Some motivation for using clustering
Clustering helps to reduce dimensionality, and thus can be used as
a preprocessing for:
Risk management, e.g. filtering covariances, performance
and risk attribution
Investment, e.g. portfolio design, statarb, beta neutralization
Data analysis, e.g. outliers detection and missing values
imputation, exploration (www.datagrapple.com)

Clustering of Financial Time Series
Stylized fact I: Financial time series correlations have a strong
hierarchical block diagonal structure (Mantegna, 1999) [6]
https://gmarti.gitlab.io/ml/2017/09/07/how-to-sort-distance-matrix.html
Stylized fact II: Most correlations are spurious (Bouchaud,
1999) [3]
Motivation for clustering financial time series using correlation as a
similarity measure:
dimensionality reduction ≡ filtering noisy correlations

Challenge for the statistical practitioner
The dilemma:
the longer the time interval, the more precise the correlation
estimates, but also
the longer the time interval, the more unrealistic the
stationarity hypothesis for these time series.
Question: How does the clustering behave with statistical errors
of the correlation estimates?

A first theoretical approach - simplified setting
We consider the following framework:
financial time series ≡ random walks
they follow a joint elliptical distribution (e.g. Gaussian,
Student) parameterized by a correlation matrix
the correlation matrix has a hierarchical block structure:

A consistency proof & first convergence bounds
A 2-step proof. First step:
Which geometrical configurations lead to the true clustering?
For space-conserving algorithms (e.g. Single, Complete, Average
Linkage), a sufficient separability condition reads
max Dintra := max
1≤i,j≤N
C(i)=C(j)
d(Xi , Xj ) < min
1≤i,j≤N
C(i)=C(j)
d(Xi , Xj ) =: min Dinter

How long does it take for the estimates of the correlation
coefficients to be precise enough to be with high probability in
a good configuration for the clustering algorithm?

By induction.
Let’s assume the separability condition is satisfied at step t,
then

separability condition is satisfied at t+1,
the clustering algorithm has not linked points from two
different clusters between step t and step t + 1.
Gautier Marti Some contributions to the clustering of financial time series
22. Proof. Step 2 - A bit more details
Maximum statistical error - (Marti and Andler, IJCAI 2016)
For space conserving algorithm the separability condition is met if
ˆΣ − Σ ∞ <
minρi ,ρj
|ρi − ρj |
2
,
where C(i) = C(j).
This means that the statistical error has to be below the minimum
correlation ‘contrast’ between the clusters.
Weaker the ‘contrast’, more precise the correlation estimates have to be.
N.B. From Cram´er–Rao lower bound, we get for Pearson correlation
estimator:
var(ˆρ) ≥
1
I(ρ)
=
(ρ − 1)2
(ρ + 1)2
3(ρ2 + 1)
.
When correlation is high, it is easier to estimate. (Marti, SSP 2016)

23. Correlation estimates concentration bounds

If Σ and ˆΣ are the population and empirical Spearman correlation
matrices respectively, then for N ≥ 24

P(“correct clustering”) ≥ 1 − 2N2

Not sharp enough for reasonable values of N, T, d.
For example, for N = 500, T = 2500, d = 0.2, we obtain
≈ −7750.
Gautier Marti Some contributions to the clustering of financial time series
24. Future developments & open questions
Bounds are not sharp enough. We can try to refine them using:
(theoretical) Intrinsic dimension of the HCBM model [16];
(theoretical Use PSD-ness to refine the bounds for the matrix
(theoretical/empirical) A distance between dendrograms
(instead of correct/incorrect) for a finer analysis;
(empirical) A study of ‘correctness’ isoquants:
Precise convergence rates of clustering methodologies can provide
a useful model selection criterion for practitioners!

A novel representation for time series
Basically, we transform each time series of returns to a (normalized
ranks, square root of marginal density) vector.
Applying a L2 between two of these vectors is now equivalent to a
distance in Spearman correlation + Hellinger between the densities.

details on this representation and the associated distance.

Motivations
We want to use dependence measures which are:
robust to noise (not Pearson then) and preserve as much
information as possible, so that clusterings are more stable;
can be tuned to look for specific dependencies, e.g.
tail-dependence or more exotic ones.
As copulas are a convenient way to capture all the dependence
between two variables, we aim at leveraging them.
