Abstract
In this chapter, we perform a two-step analysis that involves a sample of logarithmic returns formed from the daily closing prices of WTI oil prices. In the first step we employ CAViaR, a modeling approach formulated by Engle and Manganelli in 2004 which is a “value-at-risk” (VaR) modeling technique that uses quantile regression, to forecast WTI value-at-risk. In the second step we show the applicability of “support-vector regression” for oil-price prediction and compare it with more standard time-series ARIMA modeling.
