We model the time series of the S&P500 index by a combined process, the AR+GARCH process, where {AR} denotes the autoregressive process which we use to account for the short-range correlations in the index changes and {GARCH} denotes the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic process which takes into account the long-range correlations in the variance. We study the AR+GARCH process with an initial distribution of truncated Lévy form. We find that this process generates a new probability distribution with a crossover from a Lévy stable power law to a power law with an exponent outside the Lévy range, beyond the truncation cutoff. We analyze the sum of n variables of the AR+GARCH process, and find that due to the correlations the AR+GARCH process generates a probability distribution which exhibits stable behavior in the tails for a broad range of values n—a feature which is observed in the probability distribution of the S&P500 index. We find that this power-law stability depends on the characteristic scale in the correlations. We also find that inclusion of short-range correlations through the {AR} process is needed to obtain convergence to a limiting Gaussian distribution for large n as observed in the data.
