Markov Chain Monte Carlo on Asymmetric GARCH Model Using the Adaptive Construction Scheme
نویسنده
چکیده
We perform Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations for a Bayesian inference of the GJR-GARCH model which is one of asymmetric GARCH models. The adaptive construction scheme is used for the construction of the proposal density in the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm and the parameters of the proposal density are determined adaptively by using the data sampled by the Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation. We study the performance of the scheme with the artificial GJRGARCH data. We find that the adaptive construction scheme samples GJR-GARCH parameters effectively and conclude that the MetropolisHastings algorithm with the adaptive construction scheme is an efficient method to the Bayesian inference of the GJR-GARCH model.

Bayesian estimation of GARCH model with an adaptive proposal density
A Bayesian estimation of a GARCH model is performed for US Dollar/Japanese Yen exchange rate by the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm with a proposal density given by the adaptive construction scheme. In the adaptive construction scheme the proposal density is assumed to take a form of a multivariate Student’s t-distribution and its parameters are evaluated by using the sampled data and updated ada...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Markov Chain Monte Carlo Method for GARCH Model
We propose a method to construct a proposal density for the Metropolis-Hastings algorithm in Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulations of the GARCH model. The proposal density is constructed adaptively by using the data sampled by the MCMC method itself. It turns out that autocorrelations between the data generated with our adaptive proposal density are greatly reduced. Thus it is concluded t...
متن کاملBayesian Analysis of General Asymmetric Multivariate Garch Models and News Impact Curves
The BEKK model is a popular multivariate GARCH processes. The paper develops a new general asymmetric BEKK structure, which is based on recent empirical findings by semi-parametric news impact curves. For estimating the new model, a Markov chain Monte Carlo technique is used. Empirical results for triviarte asset returns from firms in the US indicate that the deviance information criterion favo...
متن کاملComputational tools for comparing asymmetric GARCH models via Bayes factors
In this paper we use Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods in order to estimate and compare GARCH models from a Bayesian perspective. We allow for possibly heavy tailed and asymmetric distributions in the error term. We use a general method proposed in the literature to introduce skewness into a continuous unimodal and symmetric distribution. For each model we compute an approximation to the ...
متن کاملBayesian Value-at-Risk and expected shortfall forecasting via the asymmetric Laplace distribution
A parametric approach to estimating and forecasting Value-at-Risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES) for a heteroscedastic financial return series is proposed. The well-known GJR–GARCH form models the volatility process, capturing the leverage effect. To capture potential skewness and heavy tails, the model assumes an asymmetric Laplace form as the conditional distribution of the series. Further...
