Forecasting Value-at-Risk Using the Markov-Switching ARCH Model
This paper analyzes the application of the Markov-switching ARCH model (Hamilton and Susmel, 1994) in improving value-at-risk (VaR) forecast. By considering a mixture of normal distributions with varying variances over different time and regimes, we find that the “spurious high persistence†found in the GARCH model is adjusted. Under relative performance and hypothesis-testing evaluations, the VaR forecasts derived from the Markov-switching ARCH model are preferred to alternative parametric and nonparametric VaR models that only consider time-varying volatility.

Radar-on-Lidar: metric radar localization on prior lidar maps
Radar and lidar, provided by two different range sensors, each has pros and
cons of various perception tasks on mobile robots or autonomous driving. In
this paper, a Monte Carlo system is used to localize the robot with a rotating
radar sensor on 2D lidar maps. We first train a conditional generative
adversarial network to transfer raw radar data to lidar data, and achieve
reliable radar points from generator. Then an efficient radar odometry is
included in the Monte Carlo system. Combining the initial guess from odometry,
a measurement model is proposed to match the radar data and prior lidar maps
for final 2D positioning. We demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed
localization framework on the public multi-session dataset. The experimental
results show that our system can achieve high accuracy for long-term
localization in outdoor scenes
