In this paper we show the validity of the adaptive LASSO procedure in estimating stationary ARDL(p,q) models with GARCH innovations. We show that, given a set of initial weights, the adaptive Lasso selects the relevant variables with probability converging to one. Afterwards, we show that the...

We study the asymptotic properties of the Adaptive LASSO (adaLASSO) in sparse, high-dimensional, linear time-series models. We assume that both the number of covariates in the model and the number of candidate variables can increase with the sample size (polynomially or geometrically). In other...

The number of Covid-19 cases is increasing dramatically worldwide, with several countries experiencing a second and worse wave. Therefore, the availability of reliable forecasts for the number of cases and deaths in the coming days is of fundamental importance. We propose a simple statistical...

This chapter covers penalized regression in the framework of linear time series models and reviews the most commonly used penalized estimators in applied work, namely Ridge Regression, the Least Absolute Shrinkage and Selection Operator (Lasso), the Elastic Net, the adaptive versions of the...

The article examines changes on characteristics of Brazilian household arrangements from 1978 to 1998 from a demographic perspective. It stresses two main shifts regarding the composition of the nucleus, the periphery of arrangements and the alteration on its group size. The role of fertility...
