We explore the application of integrated nested Laplace approximations for the Bayesian estimation of stochastic volatility models characterized by long memory. The logarithmic variance persistence in these models is represented by a Fractional Gaussian Noise process, which we approximate as a...

This study introduces a multivariate extension to the class of stochastic volatility models, employing integrated nested Laplace approximations (INLA) for estimation. Bayesian methods for estimating stochastic volatility models through Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) can become computationally...

The multifactor asset pricing model derived from the Fama-French approach is extensively used in asset risk premium estimation procedures. Even including a considerable number of factors, it is still possible that omitted factors affect the estimation of this model. In this work, we compare...

In this paper, we analyze the tornado occurrences in the Unites States. To perform inference procedures for the spatio-temporal point process we adopt a dynamic representation of Log-Gaussian Cox Process. This representation is based on the decomposition of intensity function in components of...
