Weighted Smooth Transition Regressions
A new procedure is developed for modelling and testing nonlinearity of a smooth transition form, allowing the possibility that the transition variable is a weighted function of lagged observations. This is achieved through use of a beta function and requires speci cation of only the maximum permissable lag. Nonlinearity testing uses a search over the beta function parameters, with inference exp...
متن کاملA New Class of e-Piecewise Smooth SupportVector Regressions
ε-support vector regression (ε-SVR) can be converted into an unconstrained convex and non-smooth quadratic programming problem. It is not solved by the traditional algorithm. In order to solve this non-smooth problem, a class of piecewise smooth functions is introduced to approximate the ε-insensitive loss function of ε-SVR, which generates a ε-piecewise smooth support vector regression (ε-dPWS...
متن کاملWeighted Modal Transition Systems
Specification theories as a tool in model-driven development processes of component-based software systems have recently attracted a considerable attention. Current specification theories are however qualitative in nature, and therefore fragile in the sense that the inevitable approximation of systems by models, combined with the fundamental unpredictability of hardware platforms, makes it diff...
متن کاملTo Smooth or Not to Smooth? The Case of Discrete Variables in Nonparametric Regressions
In a seminal paper, Racine and Li, (Journal of Econometrics, 2004) introduce a tool which admits discrete and categorical variables as regressors in nonparametric regressions. The method is similar to the smoothing techniques for continuous regressors but uses discrete kernels. In the literature, it is generally admitted that it is always better to smooth the discrete variables. In this paper w...
متن کاملSmooth Transition Exponential Smoothing
Adaptive exponential smoothing methods allow a smoothing parameter to change over time, in order to adapt to changes in the characteristics of the time series. However, these methods have tended to produce unstable forecasts and have performed poorly in empirical studies. This paper presents a new adaptive method, which enables a smoothing parameter to be modelled as a logistic function of a us...
