Four proxies of latent volatility, namely the absolute return, squared return and range-based (Parkinson and Garman and Klass) volatilities are selected for the empirical studies. In addition, the well-known FI autoregressive conditional variance (ARCH) type model is also taken into account for comparison purposes. Our empirical results evidence the proxy of absolute return and ARCH-type volatility model provides better performances in both the estimation and forecasting evaluations.}, journal = {American Journal of Applied Sciences}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
