The objective of this paper is to extend the results on Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PML) theory derived in Gourieroux, Monfort, and Trognon (GMT) (1984) to a situation where the first four conditional moments are specified. Such an extension is relevant in light of pervasive evidence that...

Most research on the performance and risk of hedge funds are based on calculations that just use the data from one index provider. Also most product providers and even more and more investors are using hedge fund indices for benchmarking purposes. As some academic articles pointed out, the world...

A generalization of the hyperbolic secant distribution which allows bothfor skewness and for leptokurtosis was given by Morris (1982). Recently,Vaughan (2002) proposed another flexible generalization of the hyperbolic secantdistribution which has a lot of nice properties but is not able to...

Tukey (1960) derived via the technique of transformation of variables starting from the normal distribution a family of skewed and leptokurtic distributions. Skewness and leptokurtosis are determined by two parameters g and h. Therefore, the family was called family gh-distributions. We modify...
