The next objective is to apply Markov Switching GARCH model and see the differences in the predictive accuracy (according to AIC and BIG criteria and in two viewpoints: MSB and MAD) between the standard GARCH models, GJRGARCH model, RNN-GARCH models and Markov Switching GARCH model by comparing their out-of-sample forecasts. The dataset consists of a series of daily returns obtained from the National Stock Exchange (NSE) for the Indian Equity Markets. The results indicated that the proposed RNN-GARCH model and RNN-Markov Switching models are accurate and quick prediction methods ER -
