Abstract: The Wishart Autoregressive (WAR) process is a multivariate process of stochastic positive definite matrices. The WAR is proposed in this paper as a dynamic model for stochastic volatility matrices. It yields simple nonlinear forecasts at any horizon and has factor representation, which separates white noise directions from those that contain all information about the past. For illustration, the WAR is applied to a sequence of intraday realized volatility covolatility matrices.
