The Selection of Smoothness Priors for Distributed Lag Estimation.
Abstract
In the application of Shiller's smoothness prior for distributed lag estimation the main difficulty is the selection of hyperparameters of the prior distribution. In this paper the use of a maximum likelihood procedure is proposed for this purpose and its performance is demonstrated by numerical examples.
