Summary on Grant Application Form |
It is proposed in this initial 3 1/2 months to derive the mathematics, and set up the applications, in economics, finance and geology for an analysis of new multivariate scholastic volatility models. A limiting case (v(r) ) of the investigator's Laplacian t-approximation will be used to investigate updating formulae and Leonard will write an MCMC computer program. Appropriate special structures for the two unknown covariance matrices in the doubly dynamic model will be discussed. The model will be compared with the Shepherd-Pitt Factor Stochastic Volatility (asset pricing theory) approach. Applications in finance, economics and geology will be considered.
