Abstract
ABSTRACTIn this paper, applications of dynamic conditional score (DCS) models are reviewed and those models are discussed in relation to classical time series models from the literature. DCS models are robust to outliers, which improves their statistical performance compared to classical models. Three applications are presented in order to compare the statistical performances of DCS and classical models in three very different contexts: (i) The QAR (quasi-autoregressive) plus Beta-t-EGARCH (exponential autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity) model is presented, which is a score-driven expected return plus volatility model. This model is used for daily returns on the DAX (Deutscher Aktienindex) equity index for the period of January 1988 to December 2017. (ii) The score-driven local level and seasonality plus Beta-t-EGARCH model is presented, which is used for daily AFN/USD (Afghan Afghani/United States Dollar) currency exchange rates for the period of March 2007 to July 2017. (iii) The Seasonal-t-QVAR (quasi-vector autoregressive) model is presented, which is a score-driven multivariate dynamic model of location. For this model, monthly US inflation rate and US unemployment rate are used for the period of January 1948 to December 2017. For all applications, the statistical performance of each DCS model is superior to that of a corresponding classical alternative.
