Semiparametric autoregressive conditional proportional hazard models

چکیده
A new semiparametric proportional hazard rate model is proposed which extends standard models to include a dynamic speci cation. Two main problems are resolved in the course of this paper. First, the partial likelihood approach to estimate the components of a standard proportional hazard model is not available in a dynamic model involving lags of the log integrated baseline hazard. We use a discretisation approach to obtain a semiparametric estimate of the baseline hazard. Second, the log integrated baseline hazard is not observed directly, but only through a threshold function. We employ a special type of observation driven dynamic which allows for a computationally simple maximum likelihood estimation. This speci cations approximates a standard ARMA model in the log integrated baseline hazard and is identical if the baseline hazard is known. It is shown that this estimator is quite exible and easily extended to include unobserved heterogeneity, censoring and state dependent hazard rates. A Monte Carlo study on the approximation quality of the model and an empirical study on BUND future trading at the former DTB complement the paper. JEL classi cation: C22, C25, C41, G14

A Dynamic Semiparametric Proportional Hazard Model
This paper proposes a dynamic proportional hazard (PH) model with non-specified baseline hazard for the modelling of autoregressive duration processes. A categorization of the durations allows us to reformulate the PH model as an ordered response model based on extreme value distributed errors. In order to capture persistent serial dependence in the duration process, we extend the model by an o...
متن کاملNonparametric regression models for right-censored data using Bernstein polynomials
In some applications of survival analysis with covariates, the commonly used semiparametric assumptions (e.g., proportional hazards) may turn out to be stringent and unrealistic, particularly when there is scientific background to believe that survival curves under different covariate combinations will cross during the study period. We present a new nonparametric regression model for the condit...
متن کاملExamining Effective Factors on Duration Time of Recommitment Using Cox's Proportional Hazard Model
Abstract. Recently, in most of scientific studies, the use of survival analysis is performed for examining duration time models. One of the important applications of survival analysis is the study of recommitment crime in criminology which has not yet been considered in Iran. So, with attention to the necessity and importance of predicting recommitment time and the analysis of duration model...
متن کاملEstimation and Forecasting of Dynamic Conditional Covariance: A Semiparametric Multivariate Model
The existing parametric multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (MGARCH) model could hardly capture the nonlinearity and the non-normality, which are widely observed in nancial data. We propose semiparametric conditional covariance (SCC) model to capture the information hidden in the standardized residuals and missed by the parametric MGARCH models. Our two-stage...
متن کاملTesting the Conditional Mean Function of Autoregressive Conditional Duration Models
In this paper, we suggest and evaluate specification tests to test the validity of the conditional mean function implied by Autoregressive Conditional Duration (ACD) models. We propose Lagrange multiplier tests against sign bias alternatives, various types of conditional moment tests and integrated conditional moment tests which are consistent against all possible alternatives. In a Monte-Carlo...
