For Gamma-family fits to NYSE volume-price data the shape parameter follows diffusive mean-reverting dynamics while the scale parameter shows dominant jump-diffusion with elevated higher moments, and jumps explain a large share of variance; the log-normal model reverses the pattern.

abstract
We perform a detailed comparison between a Markov Switching Jump Diffusion Model and a Markov Switching {\alpha}-Stable Distribution Model with respect to the analysis of non-stationary data. We show that the jump diffusion model is extremely robust, flexible and accurate in fitting of financial time series. A thorough computational study involving the two models being applied to real data, namely, the S&P500 index, is provided. The study shows that the jump-diffusion model solves the over-smoothing issue stated in (Di Persio and Frigo, 2016), while the {\alpha}-stable distribution approach is a good compromise between computational effort and performance in the estimate of implied volatility, which is a major problem widely underlined in the dedicated literature.

Jump-diffusion models of parametric volume-price distributions
For Gamma-family fits to NYSE volume-price data the shape parameter follows diffusive mean-reverting dynamics while the scale parameter shows dominant jump-diffusion with elevated higher moments, and jumps explain a large share of variance; the log-normal model reverses the pattern.
