Using the conditional mean and the conditional variance obtained from the estimated GARCH family models, the quantiles of the
conditional distribution can be easily obtained for the calculation of VaR (Tsay, 2005).
If Yt, t = 1,2,...,T, follows a gamma
conditional distribution G([p.sub.t], [q.sub.t] ), where G(p,q) denotes a gamma distribution with mean pq and variance [pq.sup,2], the conditional mean and variance are related to the original parameters by the equations [[micro].sub.t]= p.sub.t [q.sub.t] and [h.sub.t = [[micro].sub.t] [q.sub.t].
Secondly, quantile regressions are performed in order to observe whether there are any heterogeneous effects along the
conditional distribution of the two measures of export activity.
This is very important to our estimation of the
conditional distribution function and its inverse.

For a binary variable, a Bernoulli-Bernoulli energy function [34, 35] and the
conditional distribution of a single stochastic hidden variable are given by
where [r.sub.t] stands for risk-free interest rate; [[epsilon].sub.t] satisfies certain
conditional distribution process, that is, [[epsilon].sub.t] | [[phi].sub.t] ~ D(0, [h.sub.t]), where [h.sub.t] stands for conditional variance satisfying [h.sub.t] = P([h.sub.t-1], [[epsilon].sub.t-1]).
What this means is that the
conditional distribution of [X.sub.t] given observations of the process at several moments in the past, is the same as the one given only the latest observation.
By capturing the full
conditional distribution rather than a single estimate, the method can directly characterize the uncertainty in model predictions.
By applying the
conditional distribution theorem, the joint PDF discussed in (4) can be described as
However, (5) does not consider the role of each feature on reducing the mismatch of
conditional distribution. Therefore, it is natural to select the features that can reduce the mismatch of
conditional distribution.
