This paper is concerned with simulation based inference in generalized models of stochastic volatility defined by heavy-tailed student-t distributions (with unknown degrees of freedom) and covariate effects in the observation and volatility equations and a jump component in the observation...

This paper is concerned with the fitting and comparison of high dimensional multivariate time series models with time varying correlations. The models considered here combine features of the classical factor model with those of the univariate stochastic volatility model. Specifically, a set of...
