SV-comparison

Comparison of different implementations of the same stochastic volatility model (stochvol, JAGS, Stan).
The goal is to see when and why one needs to develop a model-specific algorithm even if fast prototyping is easy using existing software packages.

The model in its standard parameterization is

  1. y[t] ~ N(0,exp(h[t])),
  2. h[t] ~ N(mu+phi*(h[t-1]-mu),sigma^2),

where, in order to be able to do Bayesian inference, one needs to put a prior distribution on the parameters mu, sigma, and phi, and on the initial latent state h[0].

The R package stochvol uses several tricks to improve the sampling efficiency of the latent vector, most notably ASIS (ancillarity-sufficiency interweaving strategy) and AWOL (all without a loop).
Stan is the state-of-the-art probabilistic programming language, and JAGS is a language for graphical models.
