This paper proposes a variant of a threshold stochastic conditional duration (TSCD) model for financial data at the transaction level. It assumes that the innovations of the duration process follow a threshold distribution with a positive support. In addition, it also assumes that the latent...

This paper proposes a parsimonious threshold stochastic volatility (SV) model for financial asset returns. Instead of imposing a threshold value on the dynamics of the latent volatility process of the SV model, we assume that the innovation of the mean equation follows a threshold distribution...

In this paper we revisit the notion that a single factor of duration running on single time scale is adequate to capture the dynamics of the duration process of financial transaction data. The documented poor fit of the left tail of the marginal distribution of the observed durations in some...

This paper proposes a threshold stochastic conditional duration (SCD) model for financial data at the transaction level. In addition to assuming that the innovations of the duration process follow a threshold distribution with positive support, we also assume that the latent first-order...

This paper studies stochastic conditional duration models with a mixture of distribution processes for financial asset's transaction data. The mixture component distributions include exponential, gamma and Weibull. The models allow for a correlation between the observed durations and the...

This paper extends a stochastic conditional duration (SCD) model for financial transaction data to allow for correlation between error processes or innovations of observed duration process and latent log duration process with the aim of improving the statistical fit of the model. Suitable...
