The regime switching models are particularly popular in the comity of non-linear models; it is of interest to investigate regime switching models with GARCH specification. GARCH model was augmented with STAR model vis-a vis Exponential autoregressive GARCH (EAR-GARCH), Exponential smooth...

Although many macroeconomic time series are assumed to follow nonlinear processes, nonlinear models often do not provide better predictions than their linear counterparts. Furthermore, such models easily become very complex and difficult to estimate. The aim of this study is to investigate...

We introduce and investigate some properties of a class of nonlinear time series models based on the moving sample quantiles in the autoregressive data generating process. We derive a test fit to detect this type of nonlinearity. Using the daily realized volatility data of Standard & Poor's 500...
