This paper aims to investigate a Bayesian sampling approach to parameter estimation in the semiparametric GARCH model with an unknown conditional error density, which we approximate by a mixture of Gaussian densities centered at individual errors and scaled by a common standard deviation. This...

This paper investigates the problem of assessing local influence of small perturbations in GARCH processes. First, we examine the local influence on the Lagrange multiplier (LM) statistic. Second, we assess the local influence on the pseudo-likelihood of the GARCH model. We find that short...
