We discuss the following two particular aspects of the paper of González-Manteiga and Crujeiras (<ExternalRef> <RefSource>10.1007/s11749-013-0327-5</RefSource> <RefTarget Address="10.1007/s11749-013-0327-5" TargetType="DOI"/> </ExternalRef>): First, what changes if the null hypothesis is non- or semiparametric? For example, Rodriguez-Poo et al. (A practical test for misspecification in regression:...</refsource></externalref>

The object of this paper is to produce non-parametric maximum likelihood estimates of forecast distributions in a general non-Gaussian, non-linear state space setting. The transition densities that define the evolution of the dynamic state process are represented in parametric form, but the...

We analyze the impact of time series dependence in market microstructure noise on the properties of estimators of the integrated volatility of an asset price based on data sampled at frequencies high enough for that noise to be a dominant consideration. We show that combining two time scales for...
