Continue reading →: Modeling Bitcoin Volatility Through Structural Breaks: A Compositional PerspectiveRecent advances in time series modeling have emphasized the importance of structural breaks—abrupt changes in the underlying dynamics of financial or economic data. The paper “Directional-Shift Dirichlet ARMA Models for Compositional Time Series with Structural Break Intervention” (Katz, 2026) introduces a Bayesian framework that captures these breaks using three interpretable…

Introduction: The Strategic Edge of Agentic Finance In the contemporary landscape of quantitative finance, the bottleneck is no longer data availability, but the speed of insight generation. Leveraging the Microsoft AI Foundry ecosystem, we have moved beyond static scripting into the realm of Autonomous Financial Agents. This article explores…

The Objective (The Challenge) The goal was to utilize a powerful, custom Python model (nnetsauce‘s MTS wrapper around a cyb$BoosterRegressor) and integrate its outputs—predictions and…
