3. Parameter Update Schemes for Hidden Markov Models applied to Financial Returns
University essay from Lunds universitet/Matematisk statistikAbstract : This thesis was dedicated to investigating the use of different parameter update schemes for Hidden Markov models with time-varying parameters, with an emphasis on developing alternatives to the quasi-Newton step. The focus was on applications to financial returns, using data from the S\&P-500 and the Nikkei index, and for comparison, a trial using synthetic data was also performed. READ MORE

4. An Analysis of Markov Regime-Switching Models for Weather Derivative Pricing
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tillämpad matematik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska fakultetenAbstract : The valuation of weather derivatives is greatly dependent on accurate modeling and forecasting of the underlying temperature indices. The complexity and uncertainty in such modeling has led to several temperature processes being developed for the Monte Carlo simulation of daily average temperatures. READ MORE

5. Term Structure Modeling near the Zero Lower Bound: Regime Switching & Monetary Policy
University essay from Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för nationalekonomiAbstract : This thesis proposes a regime-switching extension to the well known autoregressive gamma and gamma-zero process nesting its linear counterpart. The affine term structure model based on the new process matches key stylized facts of interest rates during a zero lower bound period as well as in normal times. READ MORE
