We propose moving average threshold heterogeneous autoregressive (MAT-HAR) models as a novel combination of heterogeneous autoregression (HAR) and threshold autoregression (TAR). The MAT-HAR has multiple groups of lags of a target series, and a threshold term can appear in each group. The...

The existing literature of copula-based regression assumes that complete data are available, but this assumption is violated in many real applications. The present paper allows the regressand and regressors to be missing at random (MAR). We formulate a generalized regression model which unifies...
