Skewed factor models using selection mechanisms
Traditional factor models explicitly or implicitly assume that the factors follow a multivariate normal distribution; that is, only moments up to order two are involved. However, it may happen in real data problems that the first two moments cannot explain the factors. Based on this motivation, here we devise three new skewed factor models, the skew-normal, the skew-t , and the generalized skew...
متن کاملModel Selection for Mixture Models Using Perfect Sample
We have considered a perfect sample method for model selection of finite mixture models with either known (fixed) or unknown number of components which can be applied in the most general setting with assumptions on the relation between the rival models and the true distribution. It is, both, one or neither to be well-specified or mis-specified, they may be nested or non-nested. We consider mixt...
متن کاملBayesian Variable Selection for Skewed Heteroscedastic Response
In this article, we propose new Bayesian methods for selecting and estimating a sparse coefficient vector for skewed heteroscedastic response. Our novel Bayesian procedures effectively estimate the median and other quantile functions, accommodate non-local prior for regression effects without compromising ease of implementation via sampling based tools, and asymptotically select the true set of...
متن کاملEstimation of sample selection models with two selection mechanisms
This paper focuses on estimating limited dependent variable models with incidentally truncated data and two selection mechanisms. While typical sample selection models have been widely estimated, extensions to multiple selection mechanisms have been sparse due to intractable likelihood functions or estimation algorithms with slow convergence. This paper extends the sampling algorithm from Chib ...
متن کاملStock Selection via Nonlinear Multi-Factor Models
This paper discusses the use of multilayer feed forward neural networks for predicting a stock's excess return based on its exposure to various technical and fundamental factors. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach a hedged portfolio which consists of equally capitalized long and short positions is constructed and its historical returns are benchmarked against T-bill returns and th...
