Abstract

This paper proposes a Bayesian approach to quantile autoregressive (QAR) time series model estimation andforecasting. We establish that the joint posterior distribution of the model parameters and future values is welldefined. The associated Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for parameter estimatio...
