A surprising result. Let
X = Harasheh et al. (2023,Table 1)
Y = Ha (2023, Table 1)
Z = Table in image
Then X - Y = Z.

I recently wrote my first comments on @pubpeer.com
Two papers—different assets & sample periods—appear to use the same figure.
How did one plot end up representing different variables?

Hi @pubpeer.com Have written many comments and have many yet to address.
I believe I follow guidelines, but some posts end up as: "comment moderated by admin (For further information, please consult our commenting guidelines)".
But I cannot figure out why. Can anyone help? Below is an example.

Give the man a break. At 73, a few minutes of blissful peak performance is impressive.

The CMGF method provides a simple integral formula that yields fractional, absolute, central, and even complex moments — without relying on the density function or any derivatives.
For example,
E|X|^0.7 or tail moments
E[(X - ξ)^3 1{X > ξ}].
It is fast: NIG example:

he new method avoids derivatives entirely, is fast, general, and easy to implement.
We call it CMGF, because it uses a complex argument for the MGF (also nests the characteristic function).
And it applies to complex moments too. #Physics

We have discovered a new way to compute moments of a random variable with a moment-generating function (MGF).
All sorts of moments. #Statistics #Probability #Econometrics

Vingegaard og Pogacar var begge bedre end Bjarne Riss, Jan Ulrich, og Pantani på toppen. Imponerende præstation i dag. #TdF

44:56 Pogacar
44:58 Vingegaard
Slog de lige Pantani's rekord med over et minut? #TdF

Pogačar's tid var imponerende. Ifølge CyclingGraphs var præstationen 6.74 ᵉW/Kg for 35:11 min
🔴 på grafen for Pogačar præstationer frem til TdF 2022, hvor Vingegaard vandt på Hautacam 🟣 6.32 ᵉW/Kg for 36:37 min

Det lyder rigtigt (for Tour de France etaper).
Eftersom Riss var 49 sekunder hurtigere end #2 i 1996.
Vingegaard tid i dag ~37:18 var ganske fin (men langsommere end 2022).

Absurd nyt fra 🇺🇸
Medlemmer af vaccineudvalget udvælges på baggrund af deres faglige kvalifikationer og ekspertise, og må ikke have interessekonflikter.
En af dem (medforfatter) har bl.a. forsket i balladen om HPV vaccinen i 🇩🇰. #dksund

We apply the model to daily returns for nine stocks spanning three sectors.

The multivariate realized GARCH model delivers:
- Improved in-sample and out-of-sample performance
- Lower portfolio variance (by a factor of two vs. the equal-weighted portfolio)

Key feature is that we model the log-correlation matrix, for which block structures are preserved.

This leads to a natural linear factor model for dynamic correlations, where additional information from realized measures are easy to incorporate.

New publication: “A Multivariate Realized GARCH Model” in the Journal of Econometrics with Ilya Archakov and Asger Lunde.

A new class of multivariate GARCH models that incorporate realized measures -- flexible and scalable.

Der ville være noget at juble over, hvis det var attraktive forhold i Europa🇪🇺 der fik forskerne til at komme.

Most economists understand that tariffs will fix all our economic problems—just as the promotion of hydroxychloroquine and bleach injections on national television ended the COVID-19 pandemic. #EconSky
