This paper studies stochastic conditional duration models with a mixture of distribution processes for financial asset's transaction data. The mixture component distributions include exponential, gamma and Weibull. The models allow for a correlation between the observed durations and the...

This paper extends a stochastic conditional duration (SCD) model for financial transaction data to allow for correlation between error processes or innovations of observed duration process and latent log duration process with the aim of improving the statistical fit of the model. Suitable...

In this paper we revisit the notion that a single factor of duration running on single time scale is adequate to capture the dynamics of the duration process of financial transaction data. The documented poor fit of the left tail of the marginal distribution of the observed durations in some...
