โœฆ Synopsis

In this paper we investigate the multi-period forecast performance of a number of empirical self-exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) models that have been proposed in the literature for modelling exchange rates and GNP, among other variables. We take each of the empirical SETAR models in turn as the DGP to ensure that the `non-linearity' characterizes the future, and compare the forecast performance of SETAR and linear autoregressive models on a number of quantitative and qualitative criteria. Our results indicate that non-linear models have an edge in certain states of nature but not in others, and that this can be highlighted by evaluating forecasts conditional upon the regime.

Three inferential morphometric methods, Euclidean distance matrix analysis (EDMA), Bookstein's edge-matching method (EMM), and the Procrustes method, were applied to facial landmark data. A Monte Carlo simulation was conducted with three sample sizes, ranging from n = 10 to 50, to assess type I erro

By using the Monte Carlo method, we can obtain the minimum value of a function V r that is generally associated with the potential energy. In this paper we present a method that makes it possible to speed up the classical Monte Carlo method. The new method is based on the observation that the Bolzma
