Table 8 The process of calculating the alpha-01 value of each stock set Q in month TT

From: Detecting the lead–lag effect in stock markets: definition, patterns, and investment strategies

Input:

For any stock i in one stock market, the two vectors OPi and TVi consist of daily opening price and daily trading volume of stock i on all the trading days of the month TT, respectively

Output:

The value of alpha-01 of stock i, which is denoted as \(\alpha_{i}^{01}\)

Process:

 

(1)

For each stock i in the stock market, the correlation (denoted as CORRi) between OPi and TVi is calculated

(2)

The achieved correlations of all the stocks are sorted in descending order, and then each stock i gets a rank number (denoted as RKi) in the sorted vector

(3)

Then, \(\alpha_{i}^{01}\) can be calculated as \(\alpha_{i}^{01} = \frac{{RK_{i} - 1}}{N - 1} - \frac{1}{2},\quad \quad (8)\)

where N is the total number of stocks traded in the selected market
