چکیده
A semiparametric estimate of a density may be formed via the convex combination of a parametric and a nonparametric density estimate. It is shown that the some trimming is often necessary to obtain an appropriate proportion of

Bayesian Semiparametric GARCH Models
This paper aims to investigate a Bayesian sampling approach to parameter estimation in the semiparametric GARCH model with an unknown conditional error density, which we approximate by a mixture of Gaussian densities centered at individual errors and scaled by a common standard deviation. This mixture density has the form of a kernel density estimator of the errors with its bandwidth being the ...

KONSTANTINOS FOKIANOS Abstra t. The density ratio model specifies that the likelihood ratio of m 1 probability density functions with respect to the m’th is of known parametric form without reference to any parametric model. We study the semiparametric inference problem related to the density ratio model by appealing to the methodology of empirical likelihood. The combined data from all the sam...
متن کاملSemiparametric Pseudo-Likelihood Estimation in Markov Random Fields
Probabilistic graphical models for continuous variables can be built out of either parametric or nonparametric conditional density estimators. While several research efforts have been focusing on parametric approaches (such as Gaussian models), kernel-based estimators are still the only viable and wellunderstood option for nonparametric density estimation. This paper develops a semiparametric e...
متن کاملSemiparametric Localized Bandwidth Selection For Kernel Density Estimation
Since conventional cross–validation bandwidth selection methods don’t work for the case where the data considered are dependent time series, alternative bandwidth selection methods are needed. In recent years, Bayesian based global bandwidth selection methods have been proposed. Our experience shows that the use of a global bandwidth is however less suitable than using a localized bandwidth in ...
