A new technique for nonlinear state and parameter estimation of the discrete time stochastic volatility models in the state space form is developed. The Gibbs sampler is used to construct a Markov-chain simulation tool that reflects both inherent model variability and parameter uncertainty. The...

Operational risk management remains a major concern for financial institutions. Indeed, institutions are bound to manage their own funds to hedge this risk. In this paper, we propose an approach to allocate one's own funds based on a combination of historical data and expert opinion using the...
