Abstract

The problem of testing hypothesis of independence of random variables describing stock returns for a given set of stocks is considered. Two tests of independence are compared. The first test is the classical maximum likelihood test based on the determinant of a sample covariance matrix. The second test is the pairwise test used for market graph construction. This test is based on testing of pairwise independence of random variables describing stock returns by Pearson correlation test. The main result is the following: the maximum likelihood test is more powerful for a wide class of alternatives. Some examples are given.
