Non-Gaussian Quasi Maximum Likelihood Estimation of GARCH Models
GARCH 模型的非高斯准最大似然估计
The non-Gaussian quasi maximum likelihood estimator is frequently used in GARCH models with intension to improve the efficiency of the GARCH parameters. However, unless the quasi-likelihood happens to be the true one, non-Gaussian QMLE methods suffers inconsistency even if shape parameters in the quasi-likelihood are estimated. To correct this bias, we identify an unknown scale parameter that is critical to the consistent estimation of non-Gaussian QMLE, and propose a…
