Abstract
Stochastic Volatility (SV) models are an alternative to GARCH models for estimating volatility and several empirical studies have indicated that volatility exhibits long-memory behavior. The main objective of this work is to propose a new method to estimate a univariate long-memory stochastic volatility (LMSV) model. For this purpose we formulate the LMSV model in a state-space representation with non-Gaussian perturbations in the observation equation, and the estimation of parameters is performed by maximizing the likelihood written in terms derived from a Kalman filter algorithm. We also present a procedure to calculate volatility and Value-at-Risks forecasts. The proposal is evaluated by means of Monte Carlo experiments and applied to real-life time series, where an illustration of market risk calculation is presented.

In this Appendix we obtain the Kalman filter algorithm for the estimation procedure discussed in Sections 2.2 and 2.3. The demonstrations are based on Shumway and Stoffer (2006, Section 6.2).
Obtaining the Kalman filter algorithm for the AR representation
We start by calculating X t|t−1, which is the predicted value of X t given the information until t − 1, as follows:
Now, X t|t is given by:
π jt = P(I jt = 1|y 1:t ). To obtain the analytic expression of (50), it is necessary to calculate E(X t |y 1:t , I jt ). For each possible value of j, η t = V jt and the innovation ϵ jt is equal to:
where μ 1 = 0.
Thus, considering that cov(ϵ jt , y s ) = 0 for s < t, we have:
where P t|t−1 = Var(X t − X t|t−1|y 1:t−1). Thus, the joint distribution of X t and ϵ jt conditional on y 1:t−1 is given by:
where
Combining the results of Eq. (52) in Eq. (50) we have:
Now we obtain the expressions for matrices P t|t−1 and P t|t . So:
Here, we obtain an expression for P t|t . Similar to the calculation of X t|t we have:
For each j we can obtain the expression of Var(X t − X t|t |y 1:t , I jt ) from the multivariate distribution of X t and ϵ jt conditional on y 1:t−1. The multivariate distributions are given in (51). Using Property (B.10) of Shumway and Stoffer (2006), for each j we have:
Then, P t|t is equal to:
Calculating filtered and predicted values of Ψ t of the Chan and Petris representation
The calculation of Ψ t|t−1 and Ψ t|t are similar to the calculation of X t|t−1, as follows:
where δ t = E(u t |z 1:t−1). To calculate δ t , from (34) we have:
Now, since ω t and z s are independent for z < t, then E(ω t |z 1:t−1) = 0. Additionally, from (30) η t = z t − φΨ t so E(η t |z 1:t ) = E(z t − φΨ t |z 1:t ) = z t − φΨ t|t . Therefore,
and from (57) Ψ t|t−1 can be calculated by:
The calculation of Ψ

is similar to that of X

Expression I is equal to
Now we calculate expression IV. First, the expression u t − δ t is equal to:
Since z t = φΨ t + η t , then:
Therefore:
and considering that ω t and Ψ t are independent, IV is equal to:
Next, we obtain expression II. We define matrix A as:
From (60) we have:
Since the quantity φ(Ψ t−1 − Ψ t−1|t−1) is a scalar, it is equal to its transpose. Then:
In consequence:
Since matrix III is the transpose of matrix II we have:
where:
The expression for
