Optimally adaptive Bayesian spectral density estimation for stationary and nonstationary processes
This article improves on existing methods to estimate the spectral density of stationary and nonstationary time series assuming a Gaussian process prior. By optimising an appropriate eigendecomposition using a smoothing spline covariance structure, our method more appropriately models data with both simple and complex periodic structure. We further justify the utility of this optimal eigendecomposition by investigating the performance of alternative covariance functions other than smoothing splines. We show that the optimal eigendecomposition provides a material improvement, while the other covariance functions under examination do not, all performing comparatively well as the smoothing spline. During our computational investigation, we introduce new validation metrics for the spectral density estimate, inspired from the physical sciences. We validate our models in an extensive simulation study and demonstrate superior performance with real data.

Bayesian Nonparametric Adaptive Spectral Density Estimation for Financial Time Series
Discrimination between non-stationarity and long-range dependency is a difficult and long-standing issue in modelling financial time series. This paper uses an adaptive spectral technique which jointly models the non-sta…
