A Monte Carlo Comparison of Time Varying Parameter and Multiprocess Mixture Models in the Presence of Structural Shifts and Outliers
结构突变与异常值下时变参数及多过程混合模型的蒙特卡洛比较
This Monte Carlo study compares the performance of a recently proposed multiprocess mixture model and a more traditional random walk time-varying parameter model in the face of structural shifts and outliers. The mixture model performs well and the latter model performs poorly. This finding is of general interest since investigators often adopt random-walk time-varying parameter models to accommodate potential regime shifts in regression relationships. The findings suggest…
