Bayesian demographic modeling and forecasting : an application to U.S. mortality
Sarferaz, Samad (contributor) - 2008
We present a new way to model age-specific demographic variables with the example of age-specific mortality in the U … jointly with the latent variables underlying mortality of all age classes. In contrast to previous models, a similar … forecasts for particular age classes. A structural analysis of the relationship between age-specific mortality and covariates is …

An hourly periodic state space model for modelling French national electricity load
Dordonnat, V.; Koopman, Siem Jan; Ooms, Marius; … - 2008
We present a model for hourly electricity load forecasting based on stochastically time-varying processes that are designed to account for changes in customer behaviour and in utility production efficiencies. The model is periodic: it consists of different equations and different parameters for...

Real-time state-space method for computing smoothed estimates of future revisions of U.S. monthly chained CPI
Zadrozny, Peter A. - 2016
Well known CPI of urban consumers is never revised. Recently initiated chained CPI is initially released every month (ICPI), for that month without delay within BLS and for the previous month with one month delay to the public. Final estimates of chained CPI (FCPI) are released every February...

Covered interest parity : a stochastic volatility approach to estimate the neutral band
Hernández, Juan Ramón - 2020
The neutral band is the interval where deviations from Covered Interest Parity (CIP) are not considered meaningful arbitrage opportunities. The band is determined by transaction costs and risk associated to arbitrage. Seemingly large deviations from CIP in the foreign exchange markets for the US...

Dynamic predictive density combinations for large data sets in economics and finance
Casarin, Roberto; Grassi, Stefano; Ravazzolo, Francesco; … - 2015
A Bayesian nonparametric predictive model is introduced to construct time-varying weighted combinations of a large set of predictive densities. A clustering mechanism allocates these densities into a smaller number of mutually exclusive subsets. Using properties of Aitchinson's geometry of the...

State correlation and forecasting : a Bayesian approach using unobserved components models
Uzeda, Luis - 2018
Implications for signal extraction from specifying unobserved components (UC) models with correlated or orthogonal innovations have been well investigated. In contrast, the forecasting implications of specifying UC models with different state correlation structures are less well understood. This...

A Bayesian dynamic compositional model for large density combinations in finance
Casarin, Roberto; Grassi, Stefano; Ravazzolo, Francesco; … - 2021
A Bayesian dynamic compositional model is introduced that can deal with combining a large set of predictive densities. It extends the mixture of experts and the smoothly mixing regression models by allowing for combination weight dependence across models and time. A compositional model with...

A mortality model for multi-populations : a semi-parametric approach
Fang, Lei; Härdle, Wolfgang; Park, Juhyun - 2016
Mortality is different across countries, states and regions. Several empirical research works however reveal that … mortality trends exhibit a common pattern and show similar structures across populations. The key element in analyzing mortality … the empirical findings, we make the study of estimating and forecasting mortality rates based on a semi …

Forecasting inflation in Argentina
Garegnani, María Lorena; Gómez Aguirre, Maximiliano - 2018
In 2016 the Central Bank of Argentina began to announce inflation targets. In this context, providing authorities with good estimates of relevant macroeconomic variables is crucial for making pertinent corrections in order to reach the desired policy goals. This paper develops a group of models...
