This paper revisits the topic of time-scale parameterizations of the Heston-Nandi GARCH (1,1) model to create a new, theoretically valid setting compatible with real financial data. We first estimate parameters using three US market indices and six frequencies to let data reveal the correct,...

We develop a score-driven time-varying parameter model where no particular parametric error distribution needs to be specified. The proposed method relies on a versatile spline-based density, which produces a score function that follows a natural cubic spline. This flexible approach nests the...

Maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) in infinite mixture distributions often lacks closed-form solutions, requiring numerical methods such as the Newton-Raphson algorithm. Selecting appropriate initial values is a critical challenge in these procedures. This study introduces a bootstrap-based...

In this paper, we attempted to expand the Frechet distribution by employing the T-X family of distributions and named the newly formulated model Extended odd Frechet-exponential distribution (EOFED). Several structural properties, reliability measurements and characteristics were estimated and...

Many risk and time elicitation designs rely on choice lists that aim to capture a switch point. A choice list for a respondent typically contains two switch point defining choices; the other responses are dominated in the sense that the preferred option could be inferred from the switch point....

Logistic regression is a very popular binary classification technique in many industries, particularly in the financial service industry. It has been used to build credit scorecards, estimate the probability of default or churn, identify the next best product in marketing, and many more...

Insurance loss data are usually in the form of left-truncation and right-censoring due to deductibles and policy limits, respectively. This paper investigates the model uncertainty and selection procedure when various parametric models are constructed to accommodate such left-truncated and...

We explore a multi-asset jump-diffusion pricing model, combining a systemic risk asset with several conditionally independent ordinary assets. Our approach allows for analyzing and modeling a portfolio that integrates high-activity security, such as an exchange trading fund (ETF) tracking a...

The multivariate Vasicek model is commonly used to capture mean-reverting dynamics typical for short rates, asset price stochastic log-volatilities, etc. Reparametrizing the discretized problem as a VAR(1) model, the parameters are oftentimes estimated using the multivariate least squares (MLS)...

A popular approach to perform inference on a target parameter in the presence of nuisance parameters is to construct estimating equations that are orthogonal to the nuisance parameters, in the sense that their expected first derivative is zero. Such first-order orthogonalization may, however,...

One of the most cited studies within the field of binary choice models is that of Klein and Spady (1993), in which the authors propose an estimator that is not only non-parametric with respect to the choice density but also asymptotically efficient. However, while theoretically appealing, the...

Spatial econometrics deals with econometric modeling in the presence of spatial dependence and heterogeneity, where observations correspond to specific spatial units such as points or regions. Traditional estimation techniques assume independent observations and are inadequate when spatial...

The estimation of the probability of informed trading (PIN) model and its extensions poses significant challenges owing to various computational problems. To address these issues, we propose a novel estimation method called the expectation-conditional-maximization (ECM) algorithm, which can...

We present a methodology to estimate fixed cost parameters relevant to the decision to operate, mothballor retire an open-cycle gas turbine (OCGT) using a dynamic discrete choice model, based on fuel andelectricity prices, as well as technical data and the operational status of OCGTs in the PJM...

We develop a new class of distributions, namely, the odd power generalized Weibull-G powerseries (OPGW-GPS) class of distributions. We present some special classes of the proposeddistribution. Structural properties, have also been derived. We conducted a simulation studyto evaluate the...

In this article, the length-biased power hazard rate distribution has introduced and investi-gated several statistical properties. This distribution reports an extension of several prob-ability distributions, namely: exponential, Rayleigh, Weibull, and linear hazard rate. Theprocedure of maximum...

The Poisson-Modification of Quasi Lindley (PMQL) distribution is a newly introduced mixed Poisson distribution for over-dispersed count data. The aim of this article is to introduce the Zero-modified PMQL (ZMPMQL) distribution as an alternative to the PMQL distribution in order to accommodate...

Many risk and time elicitation designs rely on choice lists that aim to capture a switch point. A choice list for a respondent typically contains two switch point defining choices; the other responses are dominated in the sense that the preferred option could be inferred from the switch point....

For a sample X1,X2,…XNof independent identically distributed copies of a log-logistically distributed random variable X the maximum likelihood estimation is analysed in detail if a left-truncation point xL0is introduced. Due to scaling properties it is sufficient to investigate the case xL=1....

This paper sets up a small open new Keynesian economy model with constrained households and incomplete markets to address the driving forces of business cycles in Korea. It shows that there exists a substantial fraction of constrained households who cannot have access to financial market....

The existing literature on large dynamic factor models invariably assumes that the cross sectional covariance matrix is diagonal. This is due to the curse of dimensionality which means that many parameters need to be estimated for large data sets. This paper introduces a novel maximum likelihood...

Studying the extreme value theory (EVT) involves multiple main objectives, among them the estimation of the tail index parameter. Some estimation methods are used to estimate the tail index parameter like maximum likelihood estimation (MLE). Additionally, the Hill estimator is one type of...
