Treasury Bill Yields : Overlooked Information ∗
Suppose a risk premium factor denotes the time-varying market prices of risk in the Treasury bond market. The question is whether the risk premium factor affects bond prices. Equivalently, we may ask whether the factor is spanned by the crosssection of term structure. This paper finds that the factor is almost but not completely hidden from term structure. Particularly, Treasury bill yields are...
متن کاملLoss Functions in Time Series Forecasting
When a forecast ft,h of a variable Yt+h is made at time t for h periods ahead, the loss (or cost) will arise if a forecast turns to be different from the actual value. The loss function of the forecast error et+h = Yt+h − ft,h, is denoted as c(Yt+h, ft,h). The loss function can depend on the time of prediction and so it can be ct+h(Yt+h, ft,h). If the loss function is not changing with time and...

This paper empirically examines the relation between the Treasury term structure and spreads of investment grade corporate bond yields over Treasuries. I nd that noncallable bond yield spreads fall when the level of the Treasury term structure rises. The extent of this decline depends on the initial credit quality of the bond; the decline is small for Aaarated bonds and large for Baa-rated bond...

متن کاملRice Yields Time Series Forecasting Using ANFIS
This study examines the forecasting performance of Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System(ANFIS) compared in comparison to statistical autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) and the artificial neural network (ANN) model in forecasting of rice yield production.. To assess the effectiveness of these models, we used 9 years of time series records for rice yield data in Malaysia from 1995 ...
