Bartlett Couplings of the Onion and Vine LKJ Samplers
Peter Reinhard Hansen
The extended-onion and C-vine constructions of Lewandowski, Kurowicka and Joe (2009) are standard methods for sampling from the distribution on correlation matr…
Correlation Matrices in High Dimensions: The Elliptope as a Sample-Correlation Ensemble
Peter Reinhard Hansen
The set of correlation matrices, known as the elliptope, has volume decaying at the super-exponential rate . We characterize where this van…
Split-Session Cluster GARCH for Overnight and Intraday Returns: The Role of Tail Heterogeneity
Xinxian Chen, Peter Reinhard Hansen, Chen Tong
We propose the Split-Session Cluster GARCH model for heavy-tailed multivariate dependence among asset returns decomposed into overnight and intraday components. The model uses conv…
Moments by Integrating the Moment-Generating Function
Peter Reinhard Hansen, Chen Tong
We introduce a general integral framework for computing fractional, complex, absolute, and logarithmic moments from the moment-generating function (MGF) under explicit regularity c…
The Parabolic Mellin Transform: Gamma and Zeta Integral Representations
Peter Reinhard Hansen, Chen Tong
We introduce the Parabolic Mellin Transform (PMT), defined by , where and . Under the substitution , the…
Exact Likelihood Inference and Robust Filtering for Gauss-Cauchy Convolution Models
Peter Reinhard Hansen, Chen Tong
The convolution of a Gaussian and a Cauchy distribution, known as the Voigt distribution, is widely used in spectroscopy and provides a natural framework for modeling heavy-tailed…
