Forecasting high-dimensional, time-varying variance-covariance matrices with high-frequency data and sampling Pólya-Gamma random variates for posterior distributions derived from logistic likelihoods

The first portion of this thesis develops efficient samplers for the Pólya-Gamma distribution, an essential component of the eponymous data augmentation technique that can be used to simulate posterior distributions derived from logistic likelihoods. Building fast computational schemes for such mo...
