Generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (GARCH) processes have become very popular as models for financial return data because they are able to capture volatility clustering as well as leptokurtic unconditional distributions which result from the assumption of conditionally...

incorporates a well-defined parameter of skewness. It is well-defined in the sense that the parameter of skewness is compatible … a measure of skewness in the sense of Oja (1981). In the special case considered by Fechner (1897) this measure and the … skewness parameter coincide. …

was refined by Ferreira and Steel. Up to now, it is an open question whether the famous skewness ordering of van Zwet will … be preserved for this proposal. There is a general condition under which the van Zwets skewness ordering will be …. Therefore, for the skewness mechanism we choose a special beta distribution with only one parameter. Then, we get three results …

We introduce a new skewed and leptokurtic distribution derived from the hyperbolic secant distribution and Johnson's S transformation. Properties of this new distribution are given. Finally, we empirically demonstrate in the context of financial return data that its exibility is comparable to...
