The main aim of this paper is to develop a Bayesian estimation scheme for the M-STAR(k) model that includes the coefficient parameter matrix, transition function parameters, covariance parameter matrix, and the model order k as parameters to estimate. To achieve this aim, the joint posterior distribution of the parameters for the M-STAR(k) model is derived. The conditional posterior distributions are then shown, followed by the design of a posterior simulator using a combination of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms that includes the Metropolis-Hastings, Gibbs sampler, and reversible jump MCMC algorithms. Following this, extensive simulation studies, as well as case studies, are detailed at the end.]]> Mon 12 Sep 2022 14:16:24 AEST ]]> Bayesian inference of smooth transition autoregressive (STAR)(k)–GARCH(l, m) models https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42023 k)–GARCH(l, m) model is a non-linear time series model that is able to account for changes in both regime and volatility respectively. The model can be widely applied to analyse the dynamic behaviour of data exhibiting these two phenomenons in areas such as finance, hydrology and climate change. The main aim of this paper is to perform a Bayesian analysis of STAR(k)–GARCH(l, m) models. The estimation procedure will include estimation of the mean and variance coefficient parameters, the parameters of the transition function, as well as the model orders (k, l, m). To achieve this aim, the joint posterior distribution of the model orders, coefficient and implicit parameters in the logistic STAR(k)–GARCH(l, m) model is presented. The conditional posterior distributions are then derived, followed by the design of a posterior simulator using a combination of MCMC algorithms which includes Metropolis–Hastings, Gibbs Sampler and Reversible Jump MCMC algorithms. Following this are extensive simulation studies and a case study presenting the methodology.]]> Fri 22 Sep 2023 10:09:45 AEST ]]> An exploration of predictive football modelling https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38454 Fri 17 Sep 2021 13:48:29 AEST ]]>
