Sequential Detection of Market shocks using Risk-averse Agent Based Models
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper considers a statistical signal processing problem involving agent based models of financial markets which at a micro-level are driven by socially aware and risk- averse trading agents. These agents trade (buy or sell) stocks by exploiting information about the decisions of previous agents (social learning) via an order book in addition to a private (noisy) signal they receive on the value of the stock. We are interested in the following: (1) Modelling the dynamics of these risk averse agents, (2) Sequential detection of a market shock based on the behaviour of these agents. Structural results which characterize social learning under a risk measure, CVaR (Conditional Value-at-risk), are presented and formulation of the Bayesian change point detection problem is provided. The structural results exhibit two interesting prop- erties: (i) Risk averse agents herd more often than risk neutral agents (ii) The stopping set in the sequential detection problem is non-convex. The framework is validated on data from the Yahoo! Tech Buzz game dataset.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
