Quasi-Maximum Likelihood Estimation of Long-Memory Stochastic Volatility Models*
We analyze finite sample properties of the quasi-maximum likelihood estimators of longmemory stochastic volatility models. The estimates are done in the time domain using autoregressive and moving average in the state space representation. The results are compared with usual estimators of the long-memory parameter.
متن کاملImproved Quasi Maximum Likelihood Estimation for Stochastic Volatility Models
Jacquier Polson and Rossi J Business and Economic Statistics have pro posed a hierarchical model and Markov Chain Monte Carlo methodology for parameter estima tion and smoothing in a stochastic volatility model where the logarithm of the conditional vari ance follows an autoregressive process In sampling experiments their estimators perform par ticularly well relative to a quasi maximum likelih...
متن کاملMaximum Likelihood Estimation of Censored Stochastic Frontier Models
This paper takes issues with the appropriateness of applying the stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) technique to account for environmental effects and statistical noise in the popular three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA). A correctly specified SFA model with a censored dependent variable and the associated maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) are proposed. The simulations show that the fi...
متن کاملMaximum likelihood estimation of Gaussian mixture models using stochastic search
Gaussian mixture models (GMM), commonly used in pattern recognition and machine learning, provide a flexible probabilistic model for the data. The conventional expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm for the maximum likelihood estimation of the parameters of GMMs is very sensitive to initialization and easily gets trapped in local maxima. Stochastic search algorithms have been popular alternati...
متن کاملA comparison of algorithms for maximum likelihood estimation of Spatial GLM models
In spatial generalized linear mixed models, spatial correlation is assumed by adding normal latent variables to the model. In these models because of the non-Gaussian spatial response and the presence of latent variables the likelihood function cannot usually be given in a closed form, thus the maximum likelihood approach is very challenging. The main purpose of this paper is to introduce two n...
