CONFIDENCE REGIONS IN TERMS OF STATISTICAL CURVATURE FOR AR（q） NONLINEAR REGRESSION MODELS

This paper constructs a set of confidence regions of parameters in terms of statistical curvatures for AR(q) nonlinear regression models. The geometric frameworks are proposed for the model. Then several confidence regions for parameters and parameter subsets in terms of statistical curvatures are given based on the likelihood ratio statistics and score statistics. Several previous results,, such as [1] and [2] are extended to AR(q)nonlinear regression models.     

Composite hierachical linear quantile regression

Multilevel （hierarchical） modeling is a generalization of linear and generalized linear modeling in which regression coefficients are modeled through a model, whose parameters are also estimated from data. Multilevel model fails to fit well typically by the use of the EM algorithm once one of level error variance （like Cauchy distribution） tends to infinity. This paper proposes a composite multilevel to combine the nested structure of multilevel data and the robustness of the composite quantile regression, which greatly improves the efficiency and precision of the estimation. The new approach, which is based on the Gauss-Seidel iteration and takes a full advantage of the composite quantile regression and multilevel models, still works well when the error variance tends to infinity, We show that even the error distribution is normal, the MSE of the estimation of composite multilevel quantile regression models nearly equals to mean regression. When the error distribution is not normal, our method still enjoys great advantages in terms of estimation efficiency.     

The superiority of bayes estimators in a multivariate linear model with respect to normal-inverse Wishart prior

In this paper, the multivariate linear model Y = X B +e, e ～ Nm×k(0, Im ?Σ) is considered from the Bayes perspective. Under the normal-inverse Wishart prior for(B, Σ), the Bayes estimators are derived. The superiority of the Bayes estimators of B and Σ over the least squares estimators under the criteria of Bayes mean squared error(BMSE) and Bayes mean squared error matrix(BMSEM) is shown. In addition, the Pitman Closeness(PC) criterion is also included to investigate the superiority of the Bayes estimator of B.     

PARAMETER ESTIMATION FOR A DISCRETELY OBSERVED STOCHASTIC VOLATILITY MODEL WITH JUMPS IN THE VOLATILITY

In this paper a stochastic volatility model is considered. That is, a log price process Y which is given in terms of a volatility process V is studied. The latter is defined such that the log price possesses some of the properties empirically observed by Barndorff-Nielsen & Jiang[6]. In the model there are two sets of unknown parameters, one set corresponding to the marginal distribution of V and one to autocorrelation of V. Based on discrete time observations of the log price the authors discuss how to estimate the parameters appearing in the marginal distribution and find the asymptotic properties.     

Empirical Bayes Estimation in Regression Model

This paper considers the empirical Bayes （EB） estimation problem for the parameter β of the linear regression model y = Xβ＋ ε with ε- N（0, σ^2I） given β. Based on Pitman closeness （PC） criterion and mean square error matrix （MSEM） criterion, we prove the superiority of the EB estimator over the ordinary least square estimator （OLSE）.     

Option pricing when the regime-switching risk is priced

We study the pricing of an option when the price dynamic of the underlying risky asset is governed by a Markov-modulated geometric Brownian motion. We suppose that the drift and volatility of the underlying risky asset are modulated by an observable continuous-time, finite-state Markov chain. We develop a two- stage pricing model which can price both the diffusion risk and the regime-switching risk based on the Esscher transform and the minimization of the maximum entropy between an equivalent martingale measure and the real-world probability measure over different states. Numerical experiments are conducted and their results reveal that the impact of pricing regime-switching risk on the option prices is significant.

时间序列的AR及ARMA模型的阶数的贝叶斯判据

In this paper, we discuss the problem of determining the orders of AR(k) andARMA(p, q) models of time series on the basis of the Bayesian estimate theory. Ageneral prior distribution for the order and a general family of prior distribution forthe parameters are proposed. With respect to a particular loss-function, the criterionfor the order of AR(k), denoted by η_1(k), and the approximate criterion for theorder of ARMA (p, q) are given. The consistency of the order K estimated by usingη_1(k)is proved.Finally, the simulation comparisons between η_1(k), AIC(k) (Akaike,1976) and φ(k) (Hannan,1979) are made. The results show that η_1(k) is superiorto AIC(k).     

Estimation in partial linear EV models with replicated observations

The aim of this work is to construct the parameter estimators in the partial linear errors-in-variables (EV) models and explore their asymptotic properties. Unlike other related references, the assumption of known error covariance matrix is removed when the sample can be repeatedly drawn at each designed point from the model. The estimators of interested regression parameters, and the model error variance, as well as the non-parametric function, are constructed. Under some regular conditions, all of the estimators prove strongly consistent. Meanwhile, the asymptotic normality for the estimator of regression parameter is also presented. A simulation study is reported to illustrate our asymptotic results.     

Bayes and empirical Bayes iteration estimators in two seemingly unrelated regression equations

For a system of two seemingly unrelated regression equations given by (?)(y_1 is an m×1 vector and y_2 is an n×1 vector,m≠n),employ- ing the covariance adjusted technique,we propose the parametric Bayes and empirical Bayes iteration estimator sequences for regression coefficients.We prove that both the covariance matrices converge monotonically and the Bayes iteration estimator squence is consistent as well.Based on the mean square error (MSE) criterion,we elaborate the su- periority of empirical Bayes iteration estimator over the Bayes estimator of single equation when the covariance matrix of errors is unknown.The results obtained in this paper further show the power of the covariance adiusted approach.

Model‐based quantification of the volatility of options at transaction level with extended count regression models

In this paper, we elaborate how Poisson regression models of different complexity can be used in order to model absolute transaction price changes of an exchange‐traded security. When combined with an adequate autoregressive conditional duration model, our modelling approach can be used to construct a complete modelling framework for a security's absolute returns at transaction level, and thus for a model‐based quantification of intraday volatility and risk. We apply our approach to absolute price changes of an option on the XETRA DAX index based on quote‐by‐quote data from the EUREX exchange and find that within our Bayesian framework a Poisson generalized linear model (GLM) with a latent AR(1) process in the mean is the best model for our data according to the deviance information criterion (DIC). While, according to our modelling results, the price development of the underlying, the intrinsic value of the option at the time of the trade, the number of new quotations between two price changes, the time between two price changes and the Bid–Ask spread have significant effects on the size of the price changes, this is not the case for the remaining time to maturity of the option.

An adaptive network based fuzzy inference system–auto regression–analysis of variance algorithm for improvement of oil consumption estimation and policy making: The cases of Canada,United Kingdom,and South Korea

This paper presents an adaptive network based fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)–auto regression (AR)–analysis of variance (ANOVA) algorithm to improve oil consumption estimation and policy making. ANFIS algorithm is developed by different data preprocessing methods and the efficiency of ANFIS is examined against auto regression (AR) in Canada, United Kingdom and South Korea. For this purpose, mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is used to show the efficiency of ANFIS. The algorithm for calculating ANFIS performance is based on its closed and open simulation abilities. Moreover, it is concluded that ANFIS provides better results than AR in Canada, United Kingdom and South Korea. This is unlike previous expectations that auto regression always provides better estimation for oil consumption estimation. In addition, ANOVA is used to identify policy making strategies with respect to oil consumption. This is the first study that introduces an integrated ANFIS–AR–ANOVA algorithm with preprocessing and post processing modules for improvement of oil consumption estimation in industrialized countries.
