AbstractThis paper studies the option valuation problem of non-Gaussian and asymmetric GARCH models from a state-space structure perspective. Assuming innovations following an infinitely divisible distribution, we apply different estimation methods including filtering and learning approaches. We then investigate the performance in pricing S&P 500 index short-term options after obtaining a proper change of measure. We find that the sequential Bayesian learning approach (SBLA) significantly and robustly decreases the option pricing errors. Our theoretical and empirical findings also suggest that, when stock returns are non-Gaussian distributed, their innovations under the risk-neutral measure may present more non-normality, exhibit higher volatility, and have a stronger leverage effect than under the physical measure.

In general, acoustic channels are not Gaussian distributed neither are second-order stationary. Considering them for signal processing methods designed for Gaussian assumptions is inadequate, consequently yielding in poor performance of such methods. This paper presents an analysis for audio signal corrupted by impulsive noise using non-Gaussian models. Audio samples are compared to the Gaussian, α -stable and Gaussian mixture models, evaluating the fitting by graphical and numerical methods. We discuss fitting properties as the window length and the overlap, finally concluding that the α -stable model has the best fit for all tested scenarios.
