This paper revisits the filtering and prediction in noncausal and mixed autoregressive processes and provides a simple alternative set of methods that are valid for processes with infinite variances. The prediction method provides complete predictive densities and prediction intervals at any...

This paper examines causality between the series of returns and transaction volumes in high frequency data. The dynamics of both series is restricted to transitions between a finite number of states. Depending on the state selection criteria, this approach approximates the dynamics of varying...

Subordinated stochastic processes, also called time deformed stochastic processes, have been proposed in a variety of contexts to describe asset price behavior. They are used when the movement of prices is tied to the number of market transactions, trading volume or the more elusive concept of...

This paper introduces impulse response analysis for nonlinear processes based on the concept of nonlinear innovation. Our approach borrows from the traditional linear impulse response analysis in that we consider shocks to innovations of a process. It also extends the methods of nonlinear...

The basic assumption of a structural VARMA model (SVARMA) is that it is driven by a white noise whose components are uncorrelated (or independent) and are interpreted as economic shocks, called "structural" shocks. These models have to face two kinds of identification problems. The first...
