Large Bayesian VARs with Factor Stochastic Volatility: Identification, Order Invariance and Structural Analysis

no code implementations8 Jul 2022 Joshua Chan, Eric Eisenstat, Xuewen Yu

We demonstrate the methodology through a structural analysis in which we use a 20-variable VAR with sign restrictions to identify 5 structural shocks.

Fast and Accurate Variational Inference for Large Bayesian VARs with Stochastic Volatility

no code implementations16 Jun 2022 Joshua C. C. Chan, Xuewen Yu

We propose a new variational approximation of the joint posterior distribution of the log-volatility in the context of large Bayesian VARs.

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.

Bayesian Learning of Causal Relationships for System Reliability

no code implementations14 Feb 2020 Xuewen Yu, Jim Q. Smith, Linda Nichols

Causal theory is now widely developed with many applications to medicine and public health.
