Figure 8 conta<strong>in</strong>s the plots <strong>of</strong> the unconditional histograms <strong>of</strong> the simulated<br />

marg<strong>in</strong>al processes. Their shapes seem to agree with those <strong>of</strong> the raw data series<br />

already presented <strong>in</strong> Fig. 2.<br />
