Hall & Yao (2003) showed that, for ARCH/GARCH, i.e. autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic/generalised autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic, models with heavy‐tailed errors, the conventional maximum quasilikelihood estimator suffers from complex limit distributions and slow...

Motivated by prediction problems for time series with heavy-tailed marginal distributions, we consider methods based on `local least absolute deviations' for estimating a regression median from dependent data. Unlike more conventional `local median' methods, which are in effect based on locally...

The class of generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedastic (GARCH) models has proved particularly valuable in modelling time series with time varying volatility. These include financial data, which can be particularly heavy tailed. It is well understood now that the tail heaviness of...
