Static principal component analysis weightsExtracts principal components to find fixed weights, which remain constant over time@oet2015, @huotari2015, @evgenidis2017, @hakkio2009, @illing2006, @mundra2021, @nazlioglu2015, @rooj2025
Dynamic principal component analysis weightsUses rolling windows to estimate variable weights, as indicators change over time@oet2015, @monin2019, @bonato2024
Equal market weightingAssigns equal weights to all indicators@oet2015
Variance-equal weightingStandardizes indicators by their variance, then apply equal weighting@huotari2015, @balakrishnan2009, @cardarelli2011, @illing2006, @mundra2021, @neves2022, @rooj2025
Portfolio theoretic weightingWeight indicators based on their correlation matrix, treating stress like portfolio risk@hollo2012, @oet2015, @huotari2015, @duprey2017, @fava2024, @mundra2021
Credit aggregate-weightingWeights indicators based on importance of their underlying credit markets@illing2006
Dynamic credit weightingSimilar to credit aggregate-weighting, but adjusts weights over time@oet2015
Sample cumulative distribution function transformationTransforms each indicator to its percentile rank in the historical distribution before aggregation@illing2006
Matrix association indexingMeasures the degree of co-movement across all indicators using association matrices@chavleishvili2023, @chavleishvili2025, @kremer2021
Exponentially weighted moving averageApplies exponentially declining weights to historical observations, giving more value to recent signals@mundra2021
Dynamic conditional correlationModels time-varying correlations, capturing how relationships strengthen during stress@mundra2021
