Abstract

This paper is concerned with modeling the occurrences of stock price uncertainty of Dhaka Stock Exchange. Daily closing prices of three different banks are selected for analysis. This report focuses on the overall condition of the stock market to find out the amount of probability of uncertainty of occurrences by analytically chosen model to the financial data of Banking Sector (leading three Banks of Bangladesh: AB Bank, City Bank and National Bank). Various popular variability-forecasting models with techniques of measuring and evaluating performance of forecasting were reviewed. In this research, a trinomial probability distribution model is fitted considering the outcome (closing price) of a stock (per day) such as low, unchanged and high for the quoted three banks. Maximum likelihood estimations are derived for estimating the parameters of the model. To check the model acceptability chi-square goodness-of-fit test is conducted. It is found that the probability of occurrences of unchanged price for AB bank is low (0.014). On the other hand the probability of occurrence of high and low price are high (0.478 and 0.508) and these probabilities are almost same for the other banks (City and National bank).
