This paper generalizes the popular stochastic volatility in mean model of Koopman and Hol Uspensky (2002) to allow for … time-varying parameters in the conditional mean. The estimation of this extension is nontrival since the volatility appears … inflation. The estimation results show substantial time-variation in the coefficient associated with the volatility, high …

We analyze the construction of multivariate forecasting densities based on conditional models for each variable, given the other variables; a joint predictive density is obtained by iteratively simulating from the conditional models. This idea has been pursued in the context of missing data...

Bayesian forecasting is a natural product of a Bayesian approach to inference. The Bayesian approach in general requires explicit formulation of a model, and conditioning on known quantities, in order to draw inferences about unknown ones. In Bayesian forecasting, one simply takes a subset of...

We develop a non-linear forecast combination rule based on copulas that incorporate the dynamic interaction between individual predictors. This approach is optimal in the sense that the resulting combined forecast produces the highest discriminatory power as measured by the receiver operating...

We propose a new approach to deal with structural breaks in time series models. The key contribution is an alternative dynamic stochastic specification for the model parameters which describes potential breaks. After a break new parameter values are generated from a so-called baseline prior...
