A General Family of Autoregressive Conditional Duration Models Applied to High-Frequency Financial Data

In this paper, we propose a general family of Birnbaum−Saunders autoregressive conditional duration (BS-ACD) models based on generalized Birnbaum−Saunders (GBS) distributions, denoted by GBS-ACD. We further generalize these GBS-ACD models by using a Box-Cox transformation with a...
