Forecasting volatility: double averaging and weighted medians
by Erhard Reschenhofer
International Journal of Computational Economics and Econometrics (IJCEE), Vol. 1, No. 3/4, 2010

Abstract: New methods to forecast volatility are usually compared to simple methods like weighted moving averages or GARCH (1, 1) models. In this paper, we provide new benchmark methods which are more accurate but still very simple. In an empirical study of daily returns on major world indices, our new methods clearly outperformed the conventional methods. The superiority of our methods appears to be quite universal as it is not confined to certain markets or certain time periods.
