Abstract
We previously laid out a framework for predicting financial movements and pockets of predictability by deducing the heterogeneity in the multi-agent population in terms of trader types playing in an artificial financial market model.1 This work explores extensions to this basic framework. We allow for more intelligent agents with a richer strategy set, and we no longer constrain the estimate for the heterogeneity over the agents to a probability space. We then introduce a scheme which accounts for models with a wide variety of agent types. We also discuss a mechanism for bias removal on the estimates of the relevant parameters.
