This paper is concerned with the use of a cross-validation method based on the kernel estimate of the conditional mean for the subset selection of stochastic regressors within the framework of non-linear stochastic regression. Under the assumption that the observations are strictly stationary...

We investigate the time-varying ARCH (tvARCH) process. It is shown that it can be used to describe the slow decay of the sample autocorrelations of the squared returns often observed in financial time series, which warrants the further study of parameter estimation methods for the model. Since...
