Abstract:
We consider a Bayesian deterministically trending dynamic time series model with heteroscedastic error variance, in which there exist multiple structural changes in level, trend and error variance, but the number of change-points and the timings are unknown. For a Bayesian analysis, a truncated Poisson prior and conjugate priors are used for the number of change-points and the distributional parameters, respectively. To identify the best model and estimate the model parameters simultaneously, we propose a new method by sequentially making use of the Gibbs sampler in conjunction with stochastic approximation Monte Carlo simulations, as an adaptive Monte Carlo algorithm. The numerical results are in favor of our method in terms of the quality of estimates.
