ABSTRACT

Studies on the iteration procedure in double bootstrap method have given a great impact on confidence interval performance. However, the procedure was claimed to be complicated and demand intensive computer processor. Considering this problem, an alternative procedure was proposed in this research. Despite of using small sampling sequence, this research was aimed to increase the accuracy estimation using a second replication number which resulted in a large sampling sequence of double bootstrap. In this paper, the alternative double bootstrap method was hybrid onto an example model and its performance was based on Studentised interval. The performance was examined in simulation study and real sample data of sukuk Ijarah. The result showed that hybrid double bootstrap model gave more accurate estimation in terms of its shorter length when dealing with various parameter values and has shown to improve the single bootstrap estimation.

1. Introduction

The iteration procedure is basically used in double bootstrap method to construct confidence interval in situation where the uncertainty estimation is questionable. Firstly introduced by Efron in 1983 [1] , basically, the procedure is considered to use the plug-in method in each set of sample sequences of first bootstrap, and the replication size is done using small number than first replication. As proven by [2] - [6] , this procedure eventually helps to increase the accuracy estimation which is focusing on the confidence interval estimation.

Despite of its great advantage in improving the first bootstrap accuracy estimation, the procedure seems to demand a high computer processing and eventually provide a range of time to complete the whole algorithm of iteration [2] [7] - [9] . Motivated by these problems, this paper proposes an alternative procedure of double bootstrap method which aims to increase the accuracy estimation by constructing the interval and reduce the computer processing. The proposed method considers a large sampling sequence of double bootstrap replication where the replication size is obtained and from approximation bias estimation method; refer to [10] .

Instead of directly do the sampling procedure on sample data, this paper is motivated to conduct a hybrid modelling procedure, which is considered an example model of exponentially weighted moving average and hybrid it with proposed double bootstrap method. Next, the performance of this hybrid model is valued upon its accuracy estimation by constructing two-sided Studentised confidence interval [4] [11] . In terms of sample data, three set data from Gaussian distribution are generated in Monte Carlo simulation study and a set of real data of sukuk Ijarah from Bursa Malaysia are considered in this research. Generally, the sukuk Ijarah is a branch of Islamic investment certificate which is prohibited the element of usury, uncertainty (gharar) and gambling along its financial process.

Thus in this paper, Section 2 presents a discussion on the example model and purposed double bootstrap method. Next, Section 3 presents the sukuk Ijarah sample data and the number of double bootstrap replication that obtained from using sukuk data. In Section 4, the performance evaluation of hybrid model is presented and Section 5 is for research conclusion.

2. Methodology

Let denote exponentially weighted moving average model. Consider that is independent variable and is desirable parameter of which could be known as decay factor of model. T thus the one-step-ahead of estimation can be referred to following recursion:

(1)

(2)

where is a white noise process and the one-step-ahead residual estimation of Equation (1) can be made using formula of.

The one-step-ahead of is implemented to residual double bootstrap scheme. In this research, an alternative double bootstrap sampling that proposed by [12] is applied. Note that, basically the bootstrapping method required a replication size for sampling with replacement procedure. As proposed by [10] , a bootstrap replication size can be obtained by finding the converge value of bootstrap bias estimation. Motivating by this study, a simple modification has been made. Let a true estimator denote as and be expected estimation of which engaged from Equation (1). Thus, the bias estimation can be referred to following recursion:

(3)

where b denotes as current bootstrapping replication size, and note that two bootstrap procedure are used in this research, thus the respective bias estimation for single and double bootstrap are denotes as and. The rational replication size is obtained when Equation (3) is shown to be converged at certain value. By using this result, it can further be used in bootstrapping procedure.

First procedure is to sample the one-step-ahead of with replacement to obtained a set of single bootstrap independent variable,. The first sampling is completed using rational size of replication from calculating the of Equation (3). Once the is obtained, the one-step-ahead of single bootstrap model and its residual can be estimated using respective formula of and.

Consider to draw the randomly to obtained a set of double bootstrap independent variable sample, , where. The draw is completed using second rational replication size, that obtained by using Equation (3). Once the second sampling procedure is completed, the one-step-ahead double bootstrap model is estimated using formula of with same parameter value used in Equation (1) and single bootstrap model.

This research is motivated to examine the efficiency of estimation. Thus, by considering two-sided Studentised confidence interval of estimation, the efficiency can be obtained by finding the length of this interval. The estimation of double bootstrap confidence interval can be referred to following recursion:

(4)

where denote as standard deviation of and is considered to be 90% and 95% critical value of Studentised interval. Note that, the whole steps in this section has repetition algorithm and a computer programming is needed to do this simple calculation and looping command. Thus, in this research, it is motivated to use R language programming software to do the sampling procedure, estimate the models and its efficiency estimation.

3. Materials

A set sample data with respect to sukuk of Ijarah instrument investment issued by Malaysia Airports Capital Berhad is applied in this research. The selected instrument is coded as VN100268 under Islamic Medium-Term Notes Programme starting from 2010 until its maturity year of 2015. For this research, the available daily price that has been issued is taken from October 08, 2010 until October 28, 2015 with sample size of 300. This sample data is plotted in Figure 1.

Based on Figure 1, the historical information price of sukuk Ijarah has shown to be increasing starting from its issuance in 2010 and slightly decrease in early 2011. The challenging year of 2011 gave a great impact of Malaysia Airports Capital Berhad trading activities which result to be its worst price issued on its historical trading. Learned by previous market trend, positive activities recorded along 2012 until early 2014. However, a slow activity is shown in 2014 and 2015.

For further step in estimating volatility of sukuk, a set of daily return sample is obtained using the formula proposed by [13] - [15] . By using this returns sample, the parameter of Equation (1) can be calculated using the proposed method by [16] [17] . Having a complete information needed to estimate one-step-ahead of Equation (1), further steps is to find the replication size of single and double bootstrap using the respective and. Even though the sample size of sukuk Ijarah has found to be greater compare to basic bootstrap conditional sample size, the bootstrap procedure could still be proceed because the method can helps to increase the efficiency of estimation [18] - [20] . Considering this advantage, thus, the tested replication size starts from 50 replications until the converged estimation value is obtained.

Table 1 shows bias estimation results for finding the rational single bootstrap replication size. It is found that the estimation is inconsistent at lower replication size, which is at 50 until 1700. However, an interesting result shown that the estimation starts to approach a certain value at 1740 until 1742 replications. By considering the greater number of this result [21] , the rational replication number of single bootstrap procedure is 1742.

Table 2 shows the bias estimation for rational double bootstrap replication size. Based on this table, it is found that the convergence starts at size of 2100 until 2200. Thus, based on this result and it is consider to choose a lower estimation which is at 2150 to be used in double bootstrapping procedure.

4. Performance Evaluation and Comparison

In this section, the performance evaluation is based on estimation efficiency of single and double bootstrap model using the 90% and 95% of two-sided Studentised confidence interval. Instead of directly applied on daily return of sukuk Ijarah sample data, this research is motivated to firstly test the comparison of one-step-ahead and

efficiency in Monte Carlo simulation study. The aim of this test is to study the efficiency pattern of both models in findings best estimator to be applied in real situation sample data.

4.1. Monte Carlo Simulation

Three sample size, {n: n₁, n₂, n₃} are generated randomly from Gaussian distribution, using zero mean and one standard deviation. The generated samples are {n: n₁ = 30, n₂ = 60, n₃ = 200} which is mostly used by [22] [23] for examine the pattern result when dealing with different size of sample, which is small, medium and large sample size. In terms of parameter value, consider a set of {: 1.00, 0.90, 0.75, 0.50, 0.40, 0.30, 0.25, 0.10, 0.05, 0.03} to be used in completing the estimation of one-step-ahead and. These values are motivated by the research of [24] , [25] . According to their research, these parameter value are categorical as greater value, means that λ = 1.00 down to λ = 0.30, while the small value is from λ = 0.25 until λ = 0.03. The aim of using different parameter values is examine the and performance when the parameter is not estimated. The hybrid model performance is said to be efficient as the length of confidence interval approaching to true value as the sample size increase. By using all the information given, thus, the Studentised confidence interval can be estimated and its corresponding result can be referred to Table 3 and Table 4.

In Table 3 and Table 4, it shows the comparison of Studentised confidence interval estimation for one-step-ahead of single, and double bootstrap model,. Note that, at sample size of 30, both of models seem to have decreasing length and the estimations are found to be shorter when using smaller λ. This indicates that both models are efficient when involving smaller sample size. Note that, for sample size of 60, both models has shown inconsistent estimation when using λ = 0.40 down to λ = 0.25. For example of 90% confidence interval, the length estimations are starts from {0.21053 → 0.12977 → 0.14599}. This indicates that both models are not well efficient using medium parameter value. However, an interesting result is found in double bootstrap model, where the length is continues decrease as λ decrease, compare to single bootstrap.

Moreover, the length estimation of both models is shown to be consistently decreased as sample size increase. For example and λ = 0.90, the estimation 90%

^aRefer to greater parameter value of 1.00 down to 0.30. ^bRefer to small parameter value of 0.25 down to 0.03.

^a,bThe abbreviation can be refer to Table 3.

and 95% interval estimation are respectively start from {0.40602 → 0.33016 → 0.18110} and {0.48872 → 0.39534 → 0.21611}. Note that, the estimation value of is also found to be shorter compare to. These results indicate that is more efficient estimator compare to.

4.2. Example of Real Sample Data

The daily return sample data of sukuk Ijarah is used to estimate the single and double bootstrap model. In this estimation procedure, the rational parameter value is found to be 0.94. By using the same replication number of single and double bootstrap sampling procedure, the length of Studentised confidence interval could be proceed to be estimated. Thus, the result can be fevered to Table 5.

Based on Table 5, it is shown that by using double bootstrap model as the estimator for Studentised interval, the interval length is found to be shorter compare to single bootstrap. For example 90% confidence interval, the respective estimation of and is shown to be 492.159 and 459.322. Note that, by using a critical value of, the length estimation is found to give greater value compare to.

5. Conclusion

In this paper, an alternative procedure of double bootstrap was proposed and considered to be hybrid into an example model. The performance of this hybrid model was tested in terms of its accuracy estimation in simulation study and a real sample data known as sukuk Ijarah. A large sampling sequence of double bootstrap was found to shorter the Studentised interval estimation when using small range parameter of example model in simulation study. The length estimation found to be shorter as sample size increased. Moreover, for sukuk Ijarah sample data, it was shown that double bootstrap model has the shortest confidence interval compared to single bootstrap model. Based on both studies, it can conclude that large sampling sequence of double bootstrap has increased the accuracy estimation and improved the single bootstrap estimation.
