Bayesian Multivariate Semi-Markov-Switching MIxed DAta Sampling (MIDAS) Regression with Unknown Configuration of Hidden Regimes
摘要
We introduce a novel framework for multivariate time series that demonstrates the powerful synergy between MIxed-DAta Sampling (MIDAS) and Markov-switching models. Specifically, we derive a general multivariate hidden semi-Markov model with configuration of latent states that is not known in advance. Bayesian inference is performed by means of a Reversible Jump Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm. We illustrate with a real data application on the association between energy consumption, production, and prices.
