comment Multiple (linear) regression
We only speak about the last price - this is misleading. If the model fits the whole process well, then the model is ok, no matter what it is relative to the last price - this is just one price of many. If the model is good and we can forecast the covariates then a trade could be based on it.

comment time in time series database - UTC or local
I agree here - I used local time (besides UTC) for exactly these reasons (day light saving time especially).

comment How to simulate one-minute bars data from one-day bars?
@Quartz Yes ... you are right ... I missed the scaling ... one would have to do something more advanced - sorry for my mistake.

@Quartz: Brownian bridge does preserve start and end - thus open and close. Brownian bridge is a Brownian process conditional on fixed start and end. Check out en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brownian_bridge and of course one has to ad adapt this setting slightly.

Thank you for finding those references! This is already some reading material. Let's see whether new ideas come in - if not I would accept your nice answer.

comment Quantitative risk model for an open real estate mutual fund in Europe
Thanks for your answer. I am aware of the auto-correlation. This is often reported in the general setting of alternative investments (where one looks e.g. at private equity, Hedge Funds and Real estate) too. I am aware that the field is large and extremely subtle but I hope that some remarks as yours come in. Any references for further investigations would be appreciated.

comment What do eigenvalues/eigenvectors of the yield/forward rates covariance matrices mean?
Hi, for yield curve and forward rate analysis I recommend Overview of Forward Rates by Antti Ilmanen. Which forward rates to use? Why not all? $f(1,i), i = 2,\ldots,5$, $f(2,i), i = 3,\ldots,5$ and so on. From the construction of the forward rates the result can be guessed. E.g. $f(1,2) \approx 2 R_2 - R_1$ (approximately) so I guess the level factor will be present (due to the $2$) and the steepeining/flattening loading should be similar to $R1$ and $R_2$ but please do t he analysis and share the results.

@bill_080 Thanks for the link, I had a quick look and I will go through it in detail soon.
