Semiparametric Bayesian inference for regression models
This paper presents a method for Bayesian inference for the regression parameters in a linear model with independent and identically distributed errors that does not require the specification of a parametric family of densities for the error distribution. This method first selects a nonparametric kernel density estimate of the error distribution which is unimodal and based on the least-squares ...
متن کاملSemiparametric Bayesian Inference for Stochastic Frontier Models
In this paper we propose a semiparametric Bayesian framework for the analysis of stochastic frontiers and efficiency measurement. The distribution of inefficiencies is modelled nonparametrically through a Dirichlet process prior. We suggest prior distributions and implement a Bayesian analysis through an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo sampler, which allows us to deal with practically releva...
متن کاملEfficient Bayesian inference for stochastic time-varying copula models
There is strong empirical evidence that dependence in multivariate financial time series varies over time. To incorporate this effect we suggest a time varying copula class, which allows for stochastic autoregressive (SCAR) copula time dependence. For this we introduce latent variables which are analytically related to Kendall’s τ , specifically we introduce latent variables that are the Fisher...
متن کاملBayesian semiparametric stochastic volatility modeling
This paper extends the existing fully parametric Bayesian literature on stochastic volatility to allow for more general return distributions. Instead of specifying a particular distribution for the return innovations, nonparametric Bayesian methods are used to flexibly model the distribution’s skewness and kurtosis while volatility dynamics follow a parametric structure. Our Bayesian approach p...
متن کاملBayesian inference for semiparametric binary regression
We propose a regression model for binary response data which places no structural restrictions on the link function except monotonicity and known location and scale. Predictors enter linearly. We demonstrate Bayesian inference calculations in this model. By modifying the Dirichlet process, we obtain a natural prior measure over this semiparametric model, and we use Polya sequence theory to form...
