Phase Space Reconstruction of Financial Data

Overview

In this project we attempt to reconstruct the phase space of the AAPL stock based on Doyne Farmer's famous paper Geometry from a Time Series.
Namely, any time series $\{x_i\}$ may be restructured as $d$-dimensional vectors of the form

$\vec{x_i} = (x_i, x_{i+\tau}, x_{i+2\tau}, ..., x_{i+(d-1)\cdot\tau})$

where d is the embedding dimension of the phase space and $\tau$ is the time delay parameter.

Specifically, we follow the steps below:

1. pull historical data of the selected stock using the yfinance package
2. apply a low-pass Butterworth filter on the data, in order to extract the low-frequency signal
3. plot the stock time-series **
4. plot the $3$-dimensional ($d = 3$) reconstructed phase space of the time-series **
   ** applied to both initial and filtered time series

Input parameters

• TICKER_SYMBOL (string):= ticker symbol of selected stock
• START_DATE (string):= start date of historical data in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format
• END_DATE (string):= end date of historical data in 'YYYY-MM-DD' format
• CUTOFF_FREQ (float):= cutoff frequency for the low-pass filter
• SAMPLE_RATE (float):= sampling rate of the input data used for the low-pass filter
• ORDER (int):= order of the Butterworth low-pass filter
• TIME_DELAY_PARAMETER (int):= time delay parameter of the phase space embedding
