Following the Loss Distributional Approach (LDA), this article develops two procedures for simulation of an annual loss distribution for modeling of Operational Risk. First, we provide an overview of the typical compound-process LDA used widely in Operational Risk modeling, before expanding upon...

We construct a general multi-factor model for estimation and calibration of commodity spot prices and futures valuation. This extends the multi-factor long-short model in Schwartz and Smith (2000) and Yan (2002) in two important aspects: firstly we allow for both the long and short term dynamic...

This paper addresses the problem of Bayesian inference in autoregressive (AR) processes in the case where the correct model order is unknown. Original hierarchical prior models that allow the stationarity of the model to be enforced are proposed. Obtaining the quantities of interest, such as...
