We present a simple new methodology to allow for time-variation in volatilities using a recursive updating scheme similar to the familiar RiskMetrics approach. It exploits the link between exponentially weighted moving average and integrated dynamics of score driven time varying parameter...

A simple methodology is presented for modeling time variation in volatilities and other higher-order moments using a recursive updating scheme similar to the familiar RiskMetricsTM approach. We update parameters using the score of the forecasting distribution. This allows the parameter dynamics...

Künstliche neuronale Netze sind ein in der Theorie oft beschriebenes und in der Praxis der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, Informatik sowie Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften häufig eingesetztes Instrument zur Durchführung von Datenanalysen. Darstellungen neuronaler Netze entstammen jedoch...

This paper develops a method to improve the estimation of jump variation using high frequency data with the existence of market microstructure noises. Accurate estimation of jump variation is in high demand, as it is an important component of volatility in finance for portfolio allocation,...
