[R-SIG-Finance] TAR Models and predictive residuals (Tsay, 1989)

[Andreas Klein]

Hello R users.

There is a paper from Ruey Tsay with the title: "Testing and Modelling Threshold Autoregressive Processes", published in 1989 in the Journal of the American Statistical Association (March, Vol. 84, No. 405).

Mr. Tsay describes a very interesting way of identifying and modelling threshold AR processes.

1. Is there a package in R or some routines, which implements his ideas and his methodology?

2. Is there a routine in R to calculate the predictive residuals (like defined in the paper)?


Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Andreas.
