Abstract: This paper deals with a new generalization of autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models. In special, we propose a new family of ACD models based on a class of log-symmetric distributions. In this new class, it is possible to model both median and skewness of the duration time distribution. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters. For illustrative purposes, we analyze a high frequency financial data set from the German DAX in 2016.
