Detecting groups in large vector autoregressions
大型向量自回归中的潜在群组识别
This work introduces the stochastic block vector autoregressive (SB-VAR) model. In this class of vector autoregressions, the time series are partitioned into latent groups such that spillover effects are stronger among series that belong to the same group than otherwise. A key question that arises in this framework is how to detect the latent groups from a sample of observations generated by the model. To this end, we propose a group detection algorithm based on the…
