A class of stochastic volatility (SV) models is proposed by applying the Box–Cox transformation to the volatility equation. This class of nonlinear SV (N-SV) models encompasses all standard SV models, including the well-known lognormal (LN) SV model. It allows to empirically compare and test all sta...
