As a generalization of the accelerated failure time models, we consider parametric models of lifetime Y, where the conditional mean E(Y|X;beta) can depend nonlinearly on the covariates X and some parameters beta. The error distribution can be heteroscedastic and dependent on X. With observed...

Recent empirical researches have examined the relationship between US short-term interest rates using linear as well nonlinear econometric tools. The main objective of this paper is to employ a new dynamic model that combines the bivariate noisy Mackey-Glass and the BEKK GARCH processes...
