To quantify if an OLS is the best fit, one can use metrics like R-squared, adjusted R-squared, AIC, BIC, and F-statistic.
Calculate the R-squared value - a higher R-squared indicates a better fit
Calculate the adjusted R-squared value - it penalizes for adding unnecessary variables
Check the AIC and BIC values - lower values indicate a better fit
Analyze the F-statistic - a significant F-statistic suggests the model is a g
Use statistical tests like Kolmogorov-Smirnov test or Anderson-Darling test to compare the distributions of the two time series models.
Apply Kolmogorov-Smirnov test to compare the cumulative distribution functions of the two time series models.
Use Anderson-Darling test to compare the empirical distribution functions of the two time series models.
Plot histograms of the two time series models and visually inspect for sim
Duration adjustment can be positive or negative depending on the direction of interest rate movement.
Duration adjustment is positive when interest rates decrease, leading to an increase in bond prices.
Duration adjustment is negative when interest rates increase, resulting in a decrease in bond prices.
Investors use duration adjustment to hedge against interest rate risk in their portfolios.
