This paper is concerned with the Bayesian estimation and comparison of flexible, high dimensional multivariate time … factor model with that of the heavy tailed univariate stochastic volatility model. A unified analysis of the model, and its … special cases, is developed that encompasses estimation, filtering and model choice. The centerpieces of the estimation …
