Abstract:In this paper the method of simulated quantiles (MSQ) of and is extended to a general multivariate framework (MMSQ) and to provide sparse estimation of the scaling matrix (Sparse-MMSQ). The MSQ, like alternative likelihood-free procedures, is based on the minimisation of the distance between appropriate statistics evaluated on the true and synthetic data simulated from the postulated model. Those statistics are functions of the quantiles providing an effective way to deal with distributions that do not admit… Show more
