Notes: NHAR(4), NNHAR(4), FNHAR(4) and FNNHAR(4) refer to the initial normal and non-normal and to the
final normal and non-normal heteroskedastic fourth-order autoregressive models; the parameters (Par.) and
variables (Var.) are as defined in the text; P.E. and S.E. refers to the parameter and standard error estimates; 1, 2,
and 3 denote statistical significance at the 1%, 5% and 10% level, respectively, according to two-tailed t-tests;
MVLLF refers to the maximum value reached by the model’s concentrated log-likelihood function; and the R2 is
calculated by dividing the regression sum of squares (based on the autocorrelated {AR(4)} predictions) by the
total sum of squares, i.e. it is the square of the correlation coefficient between the AR(4) predictions and the
observed basis values.
