We propose a dynamic factor model for mixed-measurement and mixed-frequency panel data. In this framework time series observations may come from a range of families of parametric distributions, may be observed at different time frequencies, may have missing observations, and may exhibit common...

We develop a new parameter stability test against the alternative of observation driven generalized autoregressive score dynamics. The new test generalizes the ARCH-LM test of Engle (1982) to settings beyond time-varying volatility and exploits any autocorrelation in the likelihood scores under...

We show that two alternative perspectives on how to deal with missing data in the context of the score-driven time-varying parameter models of Creal, Koopman, Lucas (2013) and Harvey (2013) lead to precisely the same dynamic transition equations. As score-driven models encompass a wide variety...

We introduce a new efficient importance sampler for nonlinear non-Gaussian state space models. We propose a general and efficient likelihood evaluation method for this class of models via the combination of numerical and Monte Carlo integration methods. Our methodology explores the idea that...

We introduce a new efficient importance sampler for nonlinear non-Gaussian state space models. By combining existing numerical and Monte Carlo integration methods, we obtain a general and efficient likelihood evaluation method for this class of models. Our approach is based on the idea that only...

We propose a new model for dynamic volatilities and correlations of skewed and heavy-tailed data. Our model endows the Generalized Hyperbolic distribution with time-varying parameters driven by the score of the observation density function. The key novelty in our approach is the fact that the...
