未知聚类结构协方差矩阵的贝叶斯估计AI 解读

We develop a flexible Bayesian model for cluster covariance matrices in large dimensions where the number of clusters and the assignment of cross-sectional units to a cluster are a-priori unknown and estimated from the data. In a cluster covariance matrix, the variances and covariances are equal within each diagonal block, while the covariances are equal in each off-diagonal block. This reduces the number of parameters by pooling those parameters together that are in the…

利用矩条件对时变参数进行观测驱动滤波AI 解读

We develop a new and flexible semi-parametric approach for time-varying parameter models when the true dynamics are unknown. The time-varying parameters are estimated using a recursive updating scheme that is driven by the influence function of a conditional moments-based criterion. We show that the updates ensure local improvements of the conditional criterion function in expectation. The dynamics are observation driven, which yields a computationally efficient methodology…

广义自回归得分模型及其应用AI 解读

SUMMARY We propose a class of observation‐driven time series models referred to as generalized autoregressive score (GAS) models. The mechanism to update the parameters over time is the scaled score of the likelihood function. This new approach provides a unified and consistent framework for introducing time‐varying parameters in a wide class of nonlinear models. The GAS model encompasses other well‐known models such as the generalized autoregressive conditional…

利用时变多元模型带通滤波提取稳健的美国商业周期AI 解读

Abstract We develop a flexible business cycle indicator that accounts for potential time variation in macroeconomic variables. The coincident economic indicator is based on a multivariate trend cycle decomposition model and is constructed from a moderate set of US macroeconomic time series. In particular, we consider an unobserved components time series model with a common cycle that is shared across different time series but adjusted for phase shift and amplitude. The…

贝弗里奇—纳尔逊分解与其他永久—暂时分解的关系AI 解读

The Beveridge-Nelson (BN) decomposition is a model-based method for decomposing time series into permanent and transitory components. When constructed from an ARIMA model, it is closely related to decompositions based on unobserved components (UC) models with random walk trends and covariance stationary cycles. The decomposition when extended to I(2) models can also be related to non-model-based signal extraction filters such as the HP filter. We show that the BN…
