Bayesian Prediction Intervals under Bivariate Truncated Generalized Cauchy Distribution

Ateya and Madhagi (2011) introduced a multivariate form of truncated generalized Cauchy distribution (TGCD), which introduced by Ateya and Al-Hussaini (2007). The multivariate version of (TGCD) is denoted by (MVTGCD). Among the features of this form are that subvectors and conditional subvectors of random vectors, distributed according to this distribution, have the same form of distribution ...

The Stock Returns Volatility based on the GARCH (1,1) Model: The Superiority of the Truncated Standard Normal Distribution in Forecasting Volatility

I n this paper, we specify that the GARCH(1,1) model has strong forecasting volatility and its usage under the truncated standard normal distribution (TSND) is more suitable than when it is under the normal and student-t distributions. On the contrary, no comparison was tried between the forecasting performance of volatility of the daily return series using the multi-step ahead forec...

Efficient Sampling Methods for Truncated Multivariate Normal and Student-t Distributions Subject to Linear Inequality Constraints

Sampling from a truncated multivariate normal distribution subject to multiple linear inequality constraints is a recurring problem in many areas in statistics and econometrics, such as the order restricted regressions, censored data models, and shape-restricted nonparametric regressions. However, the sampling problem still appears non-trivial due to the existence of the analytically intractabl...

Admissible Estimators of ?r in the Gamma Distribution with Truncated Parameter Space

In this paper, we consider admissible estimation of the parameter ?r in the gamma distribution with truncated parameter space under entropy loss function. We obtain the classes of admissible estimators. The result can be applied to estimation of parameters in the normal, lognormal, pareto, generalized gamma, generalized Laplace and other distributions.
