The simultaneous analysis of several financial time series is important in portfolio setting and risk management. This paper proposes a novel alternating Expectation conditional Maximisation (AECM) algorithm to estimate the vector autoregressive moving average (VARMA) model with variance gamma...

We consider two problems concerning locating change points in a linear regression model. One involves jump discontinuities (change-point) in a regression model and the other involves regression lines connected at unknown points. We compare four methods for estimating single or multiple change...

In automobile insurance, it is common to adopt a Poisson regression model to predict the number of claims as part of the actuarial pricing process. The Poisson assumption can rarely be justified, often due to overdispersion, and alternative modeling is often considered, typically zero-inflated...
