Statistical Model Assumptions

Constraint

Statistical model assumptions represent the foundational boundaries within which quantitative frameworks operate, specifically regarding data distribution and market behavior. In cryptocurrency markets, these typically necessitate that price returns follow a defined stochastic process, often deviating from normality due to high kurtosis and fat-tailed risks. If the underlying data generation process violates these parameters, the predictive power of derivative pricing models like Black-Scholes diminishes significantly.
