“…Apart from basic AR and ARMA specifications, a whole range of alternative models have been proposed. The list includes ARIMA and seasonal ARIMA models (Contreras et al, 2003, Zhou et al, 2006, autoregressions with heteroskedastic (Garcia et al, 2005) or heavy-tailed innovations, AR models with exogenous (fundamental) variables -'dynamic regression' (or ARX) and 'transfer function' (or ARMAX) models (Conejo et al, 2005), vector autoregressions with exogenous effects (Panagiotelis and Smith, 2008), threshold AR and ARX models (Misiorek et al, 2006), regime-switching regressions with fundamental variables (Karakatsani and Bunn, 2008) and mean-reverting jump diffusions (Knittel and Roberts, 2005).…”
