The Dynamic Triple Gamma Prior as a Shrinkage Process Prior for Time-Varying Parameter Models
时变参数模型的动态三重伽马收缩过程先验
Many existing shrinkage approaches for time-varying parameter (TVP) models assume constant innovation variances across time points, inducing sparsity by shrinking these variances toward zero. However, this assumption falls short when states exhibit large jumps or structural changes, as often seen in empirical time series analysis. To address this, we propose the dynamic triple gamma prior -- a stochastic process that induces time-dependent shrinkage by modeling dependence…
