1 Automated Likelihood Based Inference for Stochastic Volatility Models using AD Model Builder Oxford, November 24th 2008 Hans J. Skaug (with Jun Yu and David Fournier)

2 Outline AD Model Builder ADMB Foundation Stochastic volatility models Implementation in AD Model Builder

3 AD Model Builder (ADMB) 4 th generation optimization/programming environment based on C++ and AD Developed by D. Fournier since around 1990 and sold by Otter Research Ltd. (Canada). Features: Template C++.exe Reverse mode AD and operator overloading Statistical functionality SD s by delta-method, profile likelihood, MCMC Mainly used within the fisheries stock assessment community

4 Global user base

5 The ADMB Foundation Non-profit organization Mission: to make ADMB free and open source software Promote ADMB use across scientific disciplines Extend ADMB capabilities

6 Stochastic volatility (SV) models Daily Pound/Dollar exchange rates (log-differences) Observation equation: X t = log(r t /r t-1 ), r t = Dollar-Pound exchange rate For time t = 1, K, T X = σ e ε, ε ~ N(0,1) h t /2 t x t t h = φh + ση, η ~ N(0,1) t t 1 t Latent process: y t Model parameters θ = ( σ, φ, σ ) x t 2 var( X t ht) = σ x exp( ht) Instance of nonlinear state-space model

7 t Daily Pound/Dollar exchange rates (log-differences) X

8 Likelihood estimation of θ Likelihood function High dimensional integral (dim=1000) Laplace approximation Based on a quadratic appoximation of log[p(x,,θ)]

9 J. Dongarra and F. Sullivan published a list of "The Top Ten Algorithms of the Century." (Computing in Science and Engineering, 2000) MCMC: Numerical integration method when applied to continious systems MCMC has revolutionized and dominated statistical computing since 1990

10 The need to integrate in Statistics Marginal density obtain from joint density = f ( x) f( x, h) du Statistical estimation/inference can only be based on observed quantities: x Latent random variables convenient in formulation of realistic models: h Revitalized interest in Laplace approximation (Rue et al., JRSS-B, to appear)

11 Other models with latent random variables Mixed models: Linear and GLMM Nonlinear regression with random effects State space models: Kalman filters Frailty models in survival analysis Models with spatial structure Semiparametric models (GAMS) Mark-recapture models with heterogeneity

12 Computational challenge Maximize wrt θ Gradient wrt θ needed - Nested optimization: Inner: h Outer: θ -Derivative of det(ω) 3rd order derivatives by AD Classical numerical optimization - 1st order AD useful Hessian by AD: Lifting the burden from the statistician s shoulders

13 ADMB-RE Extention of ADMB to allow applicatoin of Laplace approximation to arbitrary variables in program RE = Random Effects = latent variable Maximizes likelihood wrt θ Generic tool for latent variable models Approach explained in Skaug and Fournier (2006, Computational Statistics & Data Analysis) Skaug (AD 2004, Doing integration by differentiation )

14 Model parameters Target for Laplace approx.

15 Extention of the Basic SV model Skaug and Yu (2008, submitted) Automated Likelihood Based Inference for Stochastic Volatility Models With ADMB-RE it is easy to modify the model

16 SV-t model Model parameters θ = ( σ, φ, συ, ) x

17 Leverage effect Correlated

18 Dollar-Pound data; other data sets show larger likelihood differences Seconds Comparison with WinBUGS (generic MCMC tool) Computation time: 1.7 hours (Meyer and Yu, 2000)

19 Multivariate SV models 3 dimentional model T = 945 Computaton time: 711 seconds

20 Conclusion ADMB simplifies the implementation of SV models, and state-space models more generally Many numerical technicalities are dealt with generically; hidden from the user
