From the Paper:

"Volatility is the focus of all risk modeling in financial analysis because the greater the volatility the greater the risk of the investment or a portfolio exhibiting a high degree of volatility. Anderson et al, in "Realized Volatility and Correlation" describe how volatility has come to dominate risk modeling literature and that this literature has increasingly focused on "higher-frequency data". Thus begins these researchers' quest to attempt to match actual volatility levels with more accurate forecasting techniques."
