Statistical inference for nonparametric GARCH models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider extensions of the famous GARCH(1, 1) model where the recursive equation for the volatilities is not specified by a parametric link but by a smooth autoregression function. Our goal is to estimate this function under nonparametric constraints when the volatilities are observed with multiplicative innovation errors. We construct an estimation procedure whose risk attains the usual convergence rates for bivariate nonparametric regression estimation. Furthermore, those rates are shown to be optimal in the minimax sense. Numerical simulations are provided for a parametric submodel.

Bayesian Non-Parametric Mixtures of GARCH(1,1) Models
Traditional GARCH models describe volatility levels that evolve smoothly over time, generated by a single GARCH regime. However, nonstationary time series data may exhibit abrupt changes in volatility, suggesting changes in the underlying GARCH regimes. Further, the number and times of regime changes are not always obvious. This article outlines a nonparametric mixture of GARCH models that is a...
متن کاملTesting for Smooth Structural Changes in GARCH Models
Modelling and detecting structural changes in GARCH processes have attracted a great amount of attention in econometrics over the past few years. We generalize Dahlhaus and Rao (2006)s time varying ARCH processes to time varying GARCH processes and show the consistency of the weighted quasi maximum likelihood estimator. A class of generalized likelihood ratio tests are proposed to check smooth...

A simple iterative algorithm for nonparametric 1rst-order GARCH modelling is proposed. This method o4ers an alternative to 1tting one of the many di4erent parametric GARCH speci1cations that have been proposed in the literature. A theoretical justi1cation for the algorithm is provided and examples of its application to simulated data from various stationary processes showing stochastic volatili...

The autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (ARCH) and generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) models take the dependency of the conditional second moments. The idea behind ARCH/GARCH model is quite intuitive. For ARCH models, past squared innovations describes the present squared volatility. For GARCH models, both squared innovations and the past squared volatil...
