The truncated Gaussian

In this paper, we will make explicit the error in the mean value and the standard deviation when using different types of distribution laws. We also employ the principle of maximum entropy as a criterion to choose among the truncated Gaussian, the fitted Gaussian and the lognormal distribution.

This paper investigates high frequency time-series features of stock returns and volatility on China's stock markets. The empirically observed probability distributions of log-returns are almost symmetric, highly leptokurtic, and characterized by a non-Gaussian profile for small index changes. Thus, the China's stock markets cannot be described by a random walk. We suggest that the correlation dynamics and stochastic changes of stock prices of China's stock markets are investigated by the Lorentz stable distribution.
