Multi-regime Markov-switching models with time-varying transition probabilities: An application to U.S. Treasury yields
时变转移概率的多状态马尔可夫转换模型:美国国债收益率应用
This paper studies Markov-switching (MS) models with time-varying transition probabilities (TVTP) under alternative specifications of the transition probability matrix. We extend the two-regime common-variance setting of the Generalized Autoregressive Score (GAS) model of Bazzi et al. (2017) to the general $K$-regime case with regime-specific means and variances, and develop an open-source R package, multiregimeTVTP, for simulation and estimation of such models. A Monte…
