The class of generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) models has been proved to be particularly valuable in modeling financial data. This paper is devoted to study the empirical characteristic function process of the residuals. Specifically, it is shown that such process...

The problem of prediction is revisited with a view towards going beyond the typical nonparametric setting and reaching a fully model-free environment for predictive inference, i.e., point predictors and predictive intervals. A basic principle of model-free prediction is laid out based on the...
