Abstract

Bayesian analysis for Asymmetric Moving Average (asMA) models is introduced. Using informative as well as noninformative priors, the posterior density of the model coefficients is approximated by a multivariate t distribution. A direct approach to test the hypothesis of symmetry versus the alternative of asymmetry is developed. Two simulated examples with a real data are presented to illustrate the proposed technique.
