Modelos no paramétricos en la determinación del spread en un mercado primario de renta fija
María Bonilla Musoles, Leandro García Menéndez, MªLuisa Martí Selva and Rosa Puertas Medina
The recent proposal of various non-parametric models to solve prediction problems in banking has provided powerful estimators. This paper uses two non parametric models, Classification and Regression Trees (CART) and Multivariate Adaptative Regression Splines (MARS), in the eurobond market to measure the accuracy of both these methods in determining issue price in the primary market. Also the research included a comparative analysis with a parametric model, lineal regression estimated by Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Furthermore, the learning-generalization dilemma is tackled by cross-validation in order to establish the most efficient algorithm structure for the solution of our problem. The study concludes that CART algorithm is best at banking and state sector spread prediction, while MARS algorithm and OLS estimates are more accurate at banking issues.
