On the classification of financial data with domain agnostic features

Abstract

We compare a data-driven domain agnostic set of canonical features with a smaller collection of features that capture well-known stylized facts about financial asset returns. We show that these facts discriminate better different asset types than general-purpose features. Therefore, financial time series analysis is a domain where well-informed expert knowledge may not be disregarded in favor of agnosticrepresentations of the data.
