CauchyDGP: Cauchy errors

In kavehsn/PredictiveDGP: Predictive DGPs exhibiting various distributions

Description

The processes y and x are generated by a predictive regression of the form y_t=β x_{t-1}+\varepsilon_t for t=1,\cdots,T, in which the regressors follow an AR(1) process - i.e. x_t=θ x_{t-1}+u_t. The predictor's errors are distributed according to u_t\sim N(0,1), whereas the disturbances of the predictive regression, \varepsilon_t, are distributed \varepsilon_t\sim Cauchy. An example of a predictive regression DGP with Cauchy perturbations can be found in \insertCitedufour1995exact;textualPredictiveDGP. The initial value of the process x is generated by x_0=\frac{w_0}{√{1-θ^2}}, where w_t\sim N(0,1). Finally, the contemporaneous correlation between the disturbances \varepsilon_t and u_t is captured by ρ\varepsilon_t+w_t√{1-ρ^2}.
