Line 2:
Observations of this type in financial time series have led to the use of [[GARCH]] models in financial forecasting and [[derivatives]] pricing. The [[ARCH]] (Engle, 1982) and [[GARCH]] (Bollerslev, 1986) models aim to more accurately describe the phenomenon of volatility clustering and related effects such as [[kurtosis]]. The main idea behind these two widely-used models is that volatility is dependent upon past realizations of the asset process and related volatility process. This is a more precise formulation of the intuition that asset [[volatility]] tends to revert to some mean rather than remaining constant or moving in [[monotonic]] fashion over time.
