Predictive Density Combination Using a Tree-Based Synthesis Function

no code implementations21 Nov 2023 Tony Chernis, Niko Hauzenberger, Florian Huber, Gary Koop, James Mitchell

Bayesian predictive synthesis (BPS) provides a method for combining multiple predictive distributions based on agent/expert opinion analysis theory and encompasses a range of existing density forecast pooling methods.

Fast and Order-invariant Inference in Bayesian VARs with Non-Parametric Shocks

no code implementations26 May 2023 Florian Huber, Gary Koop

The shocks which hit macroeconomic models such as Vector Autoregressions (VARs) have the potential to be non-Gaussian, exhibiting asymmetries and fat tails.

Bayesian Modeling of TVP-VARs Using Regression Trees

no code implementations24 Sep 2022 Niko Hauzenberger, Florian Huber, Gary Koop, James Mitchell

This leads to great flexibility in the nature and extent of parameter change, both in the conditional mean and in the conditional variance.

Forecasting US Inflation Using Bayesian Nonparametric Models

no code implementations28 Feb 2022 Todd E. Clark, Florian Huber, Gary Koop, Massimiliano Marcellino

The relationship between inflation and predictors such as unemployment is potentially nonlinear with a strength that varies over time, and prediction errors error may be subject to large, asymmetric shocks.

Large Order-Invariant Bayesian VARs with Stochastic Volatility

no code implementations14 Nov 2021 Joshua C. C. Chan, Gary Koop, Xuewen Yu

Many popular specifications for Vector Autoregressions (VARs) with multivariate stochastic volatility are not invariant to the way the variables are ordered due to the use of a Cholesky decomposition for the error covariance matrix.

Subspace Shrinkage in Conjugate Bayesian Vector Autoregressions

no code implementations16 Jul 2021 Florian Huber, Gary Koop

In a forecasting exercise involving a large macroeconomic data set we find that combining VARs with factor models using our prior can lead to forecast improvements.

Nowcasting in a Pandemic using Non-Parametric Mixed Frequency VARs

1 code implementation28 Aug 2020 Florian Huber, Gary Koop, Luca Onorante, Michael Pfarrhofer, Josef Schreiner

This paper develops Bayesian econometric methods for posterior inference in non-parametric mixed frequency VARs using additive regression trees.

Fast and Flexible Bayesian Inference in Time-varying Parameter Regression Models

no code implementations23 Oct 2019 Niko Hauzenberger, Florian Huber, Gary Koop, Luca Onorante

In this paper, we write the time-varying parameter (TVP) regression model involving K explanatory variables and T observations as a constant coefficient regression model with KT explanatory variables.
