The Informational Content in Lepto-Variance and Its Relation to Higher Moments

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 21, 2026 · UTC

Lepto-regression is defined as the machine learning process of constructing a Regression Tree of a target feature on itself. It is a novel, model-free method potentially revealing information on important sample structure properties. But it is yet not clear what the informational content of lepto-variance is and how it is related to other well-known statistics of a sample. One significant finding is that 58% of the historical US stock return variability is 1-bit lepto-variance that can not be explained by any financial factor. The central question investigated in this paper is to use small nor
