Abstract: | We show new modeling aspects of stock return volatility processes, by first representing them through Hammerstein Systems,
and by then approximating the observed and transformed dynamics with wavelet-based atomic dictionaries. We thus propose an
hybrid statistical methodology for volatility approximation and non-parametric estimation, and aim to use the information
embedded in a bank of volatility sources obtained by decomposing the observed signal with multiresolution techniques. Scale
dependent information refers both to market activity inherent to different temporally aggregated trading horizons, and to
a variable degree of sparsity in representing the signal. A decomposition of the expansion coefficients in least dependent
coordinates is then implemented through Independent Component Analysis. Based on the described steps, the features of volatility
can be more effectively detected through global and greedy algorithms.
