We develop a new Markov Chain Monte Carlo procedure for a time series regression model truncated by upper and lower bounds. The regression error term is assumed to follow an ARMA--GARCH process. We use a convergence diagnostics with a simultaneous test of mean and covariance stationarity and...

The analysis of Tobit model with non-normal error distribution is extended to the case of asymmetric Laplace distribution (ALD). Since the ALD probability density function is known to be continuous but not differentiable, the usual mode-finding algorithms such as maximum likelihood can be...
