In this article, we study the standardized returns by using the realized volatility and long-memory GARCH models. The various normality tests indicate that the realized-standardized returns follow a Gaussian distribution. On the other hand, the standardized returns by GARCH models are able to...

This article proposes a generalized long persistence observable volatility model which comprises of leverage effect autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average model with time-varying volatility and the inclusion of heterogeneous autoregressive components as the contemporaneous...

In this paper we introduce an analyzing procedure using the Kullback-Leibler information criteria (KLIC) as a statistical tool to evaluate and compare the predictive abilities of possibly misspecified density forecast models. The main advantage of this statistical tool is that we use the...

Being able to choose most suitable volatility model and distribution specification is a more demanding task. This paper introduce an analyzing procedure using the Kullback-Leibler information criteria (KLIC) as a statistical tool to evaluate and compare the predictive abilities of possibly...
