    Modelling Asymmetries in Unemployment Rate

    No full text
    In this paper we propose the use of a threshold autoregressive conditional heteroakedastic model to examine the dynamic asymmetries in the unemployment rate time series. A simple extension that allows to account for seasonal variation is also considered. The model performance and the effect of different choices of the threshold variable are investigated on the U.S. unemployment rate time series

    Forecasting performance of switching models in hydrological time series,

    The non-linear structure of river flow time series can be adequately explained by regime switching models, however good fitting results do not guarantee an equal good forecasting performance. Aim of this paper is to evaluating an comparing different approaches to compute forecasts from regime switching models with respect to their predictive accuracy. To this purpose, different nonlinear prediction techniques are applied to a time series of hydrological data and their forecasting ability in predicting the future values of the observed series at different lead times are assess by means of a wide range of loss functions
