高维时间序列因子模型的权重校准估计AI 解读

The factor modeling for high-dimensional time series is powerful in discovering latent common components for dimension reduction and information extraction. Most available estimation methods can be divided into two categories: the covariance-based under asymptotically-identifiable assumption and the autocovariance-based with white idiosyncratic noise. This paper follows the autocovariance-based framework and develops a novel weight-calibrated method to improve the estimation…

高维主成分分析中显著成分数量的估计AI 解读

Abstract We consider the problem of estimating the number of significant components in high-dimensional principal component analysis. We propose a new penalized approach using the explained variance ratio and the rigidity of the nonspiked sample eigenvalues of sample covariance matrices of $ p $ variables. Compared with methods in the existing literature, the consistency of the proposed estimator holds, not only for independent data, but also for some times series data when…

网络辅助的高维因子模型估计AI 解读

This article takes advantage of group-level heterogeneity and network cohesion phenomenon to improve the estimation accuracy of approximate factor models. As large heterogeneous panels become available, a grouped pattern of unobserved heterogeneity in the panel data is highlighted. Clustering of factor loadings provides a solution to model group-level heterogeneity. Moreover, networks are frequently observed in economics and finance, which capture the interconnectivity…

通过特征值分析识别高维时间序列结构AI 解读

Cross-sectional structures and temporal tendency are important features of high-dimensional time series. Based on eigen-analysis on sample covariance matrices, we propose a novel approach to identifying four popular structures of high-dimensional time series, which are grouped in terms of factor structures and stationarity. The proposed three-step method includes a ratio statistic of empirical eigenvalues;a projected Augmented Dickey-Fuller Test;a new unit-root test based on…

早产儿观察研究中的工具变量强化：设计、界限与推断AI 解读

Regionalization of intensive care for premature infants refers to a triage system that directs mothers to hospitals with varying capabilities based on the risks their babies face. Given the limited capacity of highly specialized hospitals, understanding the impact of delivering premature infants at these facilities on infant mortality could facilitate the design of a more efficient perinatal regionalization system. To address this, Baiocchi et al. proposed strengthening a…

从历史安慰剂对照试验推广活性对照的意向治疗效应：HPTN 084 案例AI 解读

In many clinical settings, an active-controlled trial design (e.g., a non-inferiority or superiority design) is often used to compare an experimental medicine to an active control (e.g., an FDA-approved, standard therapy). One prominent example is a recent phase 3 efficacy trial, HIV Prevention Trials Network Study 084 (HPTN 084), comparing long-acting cabotegravir, a new HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) agent, to the FDA-approved daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate…

用于高维时间序列聚类的因子建模AI 解读

We propose a new unsupervised learning method for clustering a large number of time series based on a latent factor structure.Each cluster is characterized by its own cluster-specific factors in addition to some common factors which impact on all the time series concerned.Our setting also offers the flexibility that some time series may not belong to any clusters.The consistency with explicit convergence rates is established for the estimation of the common factors, the…

利用时变工具变量估计与改进动态治疗方案AI 解读

Abstract Estimating dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs) from retrospective observational data is challenging as some degree of unmeasured confounding is often expected. In this work, we develop a framework of estimating properly defined ‘optimal’ DTRs with a time-varying instrumental variable (IV) when unmeasured covariates confound the treatment and outcome, rendering the potential outcome distributions only partially identified. We derive a novel Bellman equation under…

利用工具变量估计最优治疗规则：部分识别学习方法AI 解读

Abstract Individualized treatment rules (ITRs) are considered a promising recipe to deliver better policy interventions. One key ingredient in optimal ITR estimation problems is to estimate the average treatment effect conditional on a subject’s covariate information, which is often challenging in observational studies due to the universal concern of unmeasured confounding. Instrumental variables (IVs) are widely used tools to infer the treatment effect when there is…

存在未测量混杂时个体化治疗规则的选择与排序AI 解读

It is common to compare individualized treatment rules based on the value function, which is the expected potential outcome under the treatment rule. Although the value function is not point-identified when there is unmeasured confounding, it still defines a partial order among the treatment rules under Rosenbaum’s sensitivity analysis model. We first consider how to compare two treatment rules with unmeasured confounding in the single-decision setting and then use this…

高维非平稳时间序列最大特征值的中心极限定理与单位根检验AI 解读

Let $\{Z_{ij}\}$ be independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) random variables with $EZ_{ij}=0$, $E\vert Z_{ij}\vert^{2}=1$ and $E\vert Z_{ij}\vert^{4}<\infty$. Define linear processes $Y_{tj}=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}b_{k}Z_{t-k,j}$ with $\sum_{i=0}^{\infty}\vert b_{i}\vert <\infty$. Consider a $p$-dimensional time series model of the form $\mathbf{x}_{t}=\boldsymbol{\Pi} \mathbf{x}_{t-1}+\Sigma^{1/2}\mathbf{y}_{t},\ 1\leq t\leq T$ with $\mathbf{y}_{t}=(Y_{t1},\ldots,Y_{tp})'$…

F 型矩阵最大特征值的 Tracy–Widom 分布律AI 解读

Let ${\mathbf{A}}_{p}=\frac{{\mathbf{Y}}{\mathbf{Y}}^{*}}{m}$ and ${\mathbf{B}}_{p}=\frac{{\mathbf{X}}{\mathbf{X}}^{*}}{n}$ be two independent random matrices where ${\mathbf{X}}=(X_{ij})_{p\times n}$ and ${\mathbf{Y}}=(Y_{ij})_{p\times m}$ respectively consist of real (or complex) independent random variables with $\mathbb{E}X_{ij}=\mathbb{E}Y_{ij}=0$, $\mathbb{E}|X_{ij}|^{2}=\mathbb{E}|Y_{ij}|^{2}=1$. Denote by $\lambda_{1}$ the largest root of the determinantal equation $\det(\lambda{\mathbf{A}}_{p}-{\mathbf{B}}_{p})=0$…

利用纵向盲法评估联合估计治疗效应与安慰剂效应AI 解读

In some therapeutic areas, treatment evaluation is frequently complicated by a possible placebo effect (i.e., the psychobiological effect of a patient's knowledge or belief of being treated). When a substantial placebo effect is likely to exist, it is important to distinguish the treatment and placebo effects in quantifying the clinical benefit of a new treatment. These causal effects can be formally defined in a joint causal model that includes treatment (e.g., new versus…
