So I'll go on to finish the thought.

The value R squared is suspiciously small. Let's ask the question, are our variables related?

It was shown above that the distribution law is far from normal - it makes no sense to use Pearson correlation.

Look at the cointegration:

we will form a cointegration equation. It has the form:

OPEN_INTEREST = C(1)*LONG_IN_OI + C(2) + C(3)*@TREND


Substituted Coefficients:

=========================

OPEN_INTEREST = 61282.4785072 *LONG_IN_OI + 144744.044992 - 211.18145894 *@TREND

The graph of the residual from the cointegration:

Most likely stationary. Let's check it just in case:

Null Hypothesis: RESID01 has a unit root

Exogenous: Constant, Linear Trend

Lag Length: 13 (Automatic - based on SIC, maxlag=18)

t-Statistic Prob.*

Augmented Dickey-Fuller test statistic -4.467506 0.0018

We can see that the probability of the residue being non-stationary is less than 2% - it means that the residue is stationary.

This suggests that arbitrage is possible.

But caution should be exercised. Let's answer the question if there is a causal relationship between the Open Interest and the Longs

Let's perform the Granger causality test:

Pairwise Granger Causality Tests

Date: 07/30/12 Time: 19:36

Sample: 1,597

Lags: 2

Null Hypothesis: Obs F-Statistic Prob.

OPEN_INTEREST by Granger not cause LONG_IN_OI 595 2.01339 0.1345

LONG_IN_OI by Granger is not the cause of OPEN_INTEREST 0.34719 0.7068

The last columns are probability, which is not a cause.

Conclusion:

Putting open interest and longs into the same equation is probably not an option. Although there is some possibility for pair trading.

 
C-4:


In general, the relationship between all columns is simple (2 formulas for calculating through aggregate long and aggregate short position):

OI = Noncommercial Traders Long + Noncommercial Traders Spreading + Operators Long + Non-reportable Long;
OI = Noncommercial Traders Short + Noncommercial Traders Spreading + Operators Short + Non-reportable Short;

Look at my posts. you can try scoring these formulas using the above scheme.

Why, if you don't mind my asking?

I hope we never have to calculate probability and normal distribution law in this forum again

Absolutely correct observation.
 
alsu:
Why, pardon my immodest interest?
For a non-stationary process, it is desirable to use a characteristic, which is also a process, not a number.

If he understands, it's even worse. Pulling from different places from different contexts - why? What is the purpose of the post?

C-4 posted a real system based on many variables (very rare here), suggests discussing from a different perspective than before, there is a tool for many variables, interesting because....

 

Can you tell me more about:

1. Hedrick-Prescott filter - as far as I understand the approximating function is this particular filter. In the picture, it appears to be a red line marked 'Trend'. It is very similar to a moving average. It takes the difference relative to it and analyses the resulting residual - the green broken line below, which is also the blue line in the chart below. It is stationary, but it also seems to be heteroskedatic (the aplitude of oscillations is different) - it is not quite clear, aren't these mutually exclusive properties?

2. about the Granger causality test. - How is it calculated, at least in general terms, and what is the meaning.
