Sparse Bayesian State-Space and Time-Varying Parameter Models (2207.12147v1)
Published 25 Jul 2022 in econ.EM and stat.ME
Abstract: In this chapter, we review variance selection for time-varying parameter (TVP) models for univariate and multivariate time series within a Bayesian framework. We show how both continuous as well as discrete spike-and-slab shrinkage priors can be transferred from variable selection for regression models to variance selection for TVP models by using a non-centered parametrization. We discuss efficient MCMC estimation and provide an application to US inflation modeling.
