Deep learning of point processes for modeling high-frequency data

Abstract: We investigate applications of deep neural networks to a point process having an intensity with mixing covariates processes as input. Our generic model includes Cox-type models and marked point processes as well as multivariate point processes. An oracle inequality and a rate of convergence are derived for the prediction error. A simulation study shows that the marked point process can be superior to the simple multivariate model in prediction. We apply the marked ratio model to real limit order book data
