All reported models and results are using only $60\%$ of the data, the other $40\%$ is being held out. The researchers are blinding themselves to it, until the paper is ready for publication, so as to have a measure of true out of sample fit.
We present results for $5$ models fitted with our methodology to each of our two outcome measures in both USD and BTC terms, 4 total outcome variables.
Tables 1 and 2 report the coefficient estimates for standardized variables for the two outcome variables where we have the most substantial explanatory power beyond coin vintage: severity in USD and magnitude in BTC. While normally comparing R squared across models is not meaningful, the combination of having the same set of explanatory variables, while the dependent variables all have the same mean and standard deviations, does make them into a useful summaries of model fit in this particular case.
While the results for severity are not much affected, the magnitude measure is less predictable in USD than in BTC.
We do not include the tables for severity in BTC and magnitude in USD to meet page limit restrictions.
There are no substantial changes beyond fewer variables being selected by the elasticnet for magnitude BTC, which is consistent with its lower predictability.
Our User model considers how long a user has been active, and how many users have replied to them and he has replied to.
Days since first post is negative, while the number of subject the user posts across is positive. This could be interpreted as earlier members of the community being more earnest, and thus even when they start new blockhains these are less likely to be the most aggressive pump and dump schemes.
Our Network model encodes directed edges when a user interacts with another, and proceeds to estimate closeness centrality and clustering measures based on this.
Our Weighted model uses the intensity of interactions to create a weighted network and construct a similar set of measures to the Network model.
The results for severity are very similar across both USD and BTC, and largely show that closeness centrality and satoshi distance are have expiatory power beyond time. Both are positively associated with a bubbles severity.
While closeness centrality has a negative coefficient in the magnitude table of results, this is not comparable across models, since it is in models that control the clustering coefficients and users pagerank in the network, measures that do not make it through the Elastic Net in the severity model.
Our Satoshi model considers the distance and pagerank relative to the user satoshi.
The same sign reversal between magnitude and severity is present in Satoshi distance, with bubbles of larger magnitude being further away from satoshi, and the more severe ones closer.
This is a counterintuitive finding given if ones priors are that those closest to satoshi have higher social capital in the network and are less likely to be running pump and dump schemes, and that they are more likely to attract investment.
Our All model contains all previous mentioned variables, there is extreme collinearity in this model and thus it's estimated coefficients and standard errors should be interpreted with extreme caution.
We also considered if a coin is non-trivial and it's interaction with the network and satoshi metrics. It did not consistently improve the model fit, and is thus excluded from reporting.
