This paper develops Bayesian econometric methods for posterior inference in non-parametric mixed frequency VARs using additive regression trees. We argue that regression tree models are ideally suited for macroeconomic nowcasting in the face of extreme observations, for instance those produced...

We propose a hybrid classical-quantum approach for modeling transition probabilities in health and disability insurance. The modeling of logistic disability inception probabilities is formulated as a support vector regression problem. Using a quantum feature map, the data are mapped to quantum...
