New research details nonstationarity-complexity tradeoff in financial return prediction

A new research paper published on arXiv explores the trade-off between model complexity and data nonstationarity in financial return prediction. The study, led by Chengpiao Huang, demonstrates that in dynamic financial markets, optimizing both model complexity and training window length is crucial. Their proposed adaptive selection procedure showed a 14% improvement in out-of-sample R-squared on U.S. equity markets over three decades compared to traditional benchmarks, with particularly strong gains observed during economic recessions.

    The Nonstationarity-Complexity Tradeoff in Return Prediction

    arXiv:2512.23596v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Does more data improve return prediction? In non-stationary financial markets, longer training windows improve prediction of complex models but incorporate outdated economic regimes, whereas simpler models require less data and …
