摘要
In financial times series analysis, unit root test is one of the most important research issues. This paper is aimed to propose a new simple and efficient stochastic simulation algorithm for computing Bayes factor to detect the unit root of stochastic volatility models. The proposed algorithm is based on a classical thermodynamic integration technique named path sampling. Simulation studies show that the test procedure is efficient under moderate sample size. In the end, the performance of the proposed approach is investigated with a Monte Carlo simulation study and illustrated with a time series of S&P500 return data.
