Adaptive Polar Sampling is proposed as an algorithm where random drawings aredirectly generated from the target function (posterior) in all-but-onedirections of the parameter space. The method is based on the mixed integrationtechnique of Van Dijk, Kloek & Boender (1985) but extends this one by...

Adaptive Polar Sampling (APS) is proposed as a Markov chain Monte Carlomethod for Bayesian analysis of models with ill-behaved posteriordistributions. In order to sample efficiently from such a distribution,a location-scale transformation and a transformation to polarcoordinates are used. After...

In this paper, we give an overview of the state-of-the-art in the econometric literature on the modeling of so-called financial point processes. The latter are associated with the random arrival of specific financial trading events, such as transactions, quote updates, limit orders or price...
