Dependent and Independent Time Series Errors Under Elliptically Countered Models by Fredy O. Pérez-Ramirez, Francisco J. Caro-Lopera, José A. Díaz-García, Graciela González Farías

“…By adopting a time series approach aligned with the realistic dependence between errors under such distributions, this perspective shifts the focus from increasingly complex and challenging correlation analyses to volatility modeling that utilizes a novel likelihood framework based on dependent probabilistic samples. With the introduction of a modified Bayesian Information Criterion, which incorporates a ranking of degrees of evidence of significant differences between the compared models, the critical issue of model selection is reinforced, clarifying the relationships among the most common information criteria and revealing limited relevance among the models based on independent probabilistic samples, when tested on a well-established database. …”
