| Abstract: | A new methodology extending the well-known switching regression model (here as: s-r-m.) is introduced using several latent state variables. This model is called the time varying extended switching regression (TV-ESR) model which is used to combine volatility forecasts of several currencies (GBP/USD, JPY/USD and CHF/USD). A detailed comparison of the forecasts generated by the TV-ESR approach is made with those of traditional and other linear combining procedures derived from the s-r-m. Results indicate that the use of this new method yields overall better forecasts than those generated by competing models. |
