“…However, while discrete states may be easy to interpret, the use of a continuous-valued state process provides more flexibility as a corresponding model can capture gradual changes in the underlying market activity level, which makes more sense conceptually as there is no clear justification for a finite number of market activity levels. This reasoning is analogous to that of corresponding modelling approaches in finance, where share returns are typically modelled via stochastic volatility models, with a continuous-valued state process (see, e.g., Aït-Sahalia et al, 2007;Langrock et al, 2012;Barra et al, 2017). We thus consider a discrete-time SSM with continuous state space to model the time series of stakes placed.…”

“…Financial time series data are typically driven by not necessarily directly observable states such as a market's activity level, the nervousness of the financial market, the state of the economy, or the regulatory environment. In many of the corresponding analyses, it thus makes conceptual sense to consider state-space (SSMs) or related models for relating the observed quantity of interest to underlying (latent) states (see, e.g., Jacquier et al, 1994, Al-Anaswah and Wilfling, 2011, Warne et al, 2017, and Barra et al, 2017.…”

“…An alternative Bayesian approach for jointly estimating parameters and states in non-linear non-Gaussian state space models is presented by Barra et al (2017), who designed flexible proposal densities for the independent Metropolis-Hasting and the importance sampling algorithms.…”

“…Amidst all these estimation methods, one of the best alternatives is to use an MCMC algorithm, although MCMC is very computationally demanding and requires hard code, which makes its implementation difficult for practitioners and researchers. A very recent paper by Barra et al (2017), based on importance sampling weighted expectation maximization, argues that this approach is computationally efficient and can be regarded as an effective alternative to MCMC methods. However, it requires, again, heavy programming and there is not free available software that implements the method.…”
