This document provides an overview of the StMAR Toolbox, a MATLAB toolbox specifically designed for simulation, estimation, diagnostic, and forecasting of the Student's t mixture autoregressive (StMAR) model proposed by Meitz, Preve & Saikkonen (2018). The StMAR model is a new type of mixture...

BayVAR_R is an R package designed to estimate and analyze Vec-tor Autoregressive (VAR) models from both a classical (UVAR) andBayesian (BVAR) perspective. The package includes functionalities forthe speci cation, estimation and diagnosis of such a models. It alsoprovides procedures for...

Several approaches for subset recovery and improved forecasting accuracy have been proposed and studied. One way is to apply a regularization strategy and solve the model selection task as a continuous optimization problem. One of the most popular approaches in this research field is given by...

Risk neutral densities (RND) can be used to forecast the price of the underlying basis for the option, or it may be used to price other derivates based on the same sequence. The method adopted in this paper to calculate the RND is to firts estimate daily the diffusion process of the underlying...

We estimate the process underlying the pricing of American options by using higher-order lattices combined with a multigrid method. This paper also tests whether the risk-neutral densities given from American options provide a good forecasting tool. We use a nonparametric test of the densities...

In this article, the Universal Approximation Theorem of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) is applied to the SABR stochastic volatility model in order to construct highly efficient representations. Initially, the SABR approximation of Hagan et al. [2002] is considered, then a more accurate...

This study proposes a simple theoretical framework that allows for assessing financial distress up to five years in advance. We jointly model financial distress by using two of its key driving factors: declining cash-generating ability and insufficient liquidity reserves. The model is based on...

This paper presents a method and computational technology for forecasting ambulance trips. We used statistical information about the number of the trips in 2009-2013, the meteorological archive, and the corresponding archive of the meteorological forecasts for the same period. We take into...
