possibly age-varying (non-proportional), and there is multiplicative frailty with arbitrary distribution. Our framework … incorporates a wide variety of order restrictions on covariate dependence and duration dependence (ageing). We propose estimation … on the nature of ageing. For example, relevant theory may suggest that the baseline hazard function decreases with age …

We analyze portfolio credit risk in light of dynamic “frailty,” by which the credit qualities of different firms depend … on common unobservable time-varying default covariates. Frailty is estimated to have a large impact on estimated …

We extend the asymmetric, stochastic, volatility model by modeling the return-volatility distribution nonparametrically. The novelty is modeling this distribution with an infinite mixture of Normals, where the mixture unknowns have a Dirichlet process prior. Cumulative Bayes factors show our...

In this paper we extend the parametric, asymmetric, stochastic volatility model (ASV), where returns are correlated with volatility, by flexibly modeling the bivariate distribution of the return and volatility innovations nonparametrically. Its novelty is in modeling the joint, conditional,...

This paper extends the existing fully parametric Bayesian literature on stochastic volatility to allow for more general return distributions. Instead of specifying a particular distribution for the return innovation, we use nonparametric Bayesian methods to flexibly model the skewness and...

This paper proposes a Bayesian nonparametric modeling approach for the return distribution in multivariate GARCH models. In contrast to the parametric literature, the return distribution can display general forms of asymmetry and thick tails. An infinite mixture of multivariate normals is given...
