DoubleDecay function

Double-Decay Covariance Matrix

Double-Decay Covariance Matrix

This function computes the covariance matrix using two different decay factors.

DoubleDecay(x, decay_low, decay_high)

Arguments

  • x: A set of relevant risk drivers.
  • decay_low: A numeric value with the low decay (long half-life).
  • decay_high: A numeric value with the high decay (short half-life).

Returns

A list with the posterior mean ans sigma.

Details

A common practice is to estimate the covariance of the risk drivers using a high decay (short half-life) for the volatilities and a low decay (long half-life) for the correlations.
