Identifying a Simplifying Structure in Time Series
识别时间序列中的简化结构
This article studies how to identify hidden factors in multivariate time series process. This problem is important because, when the series are driven by a set of common factors, (a) a large number of parameters may be needed to obtain an adequate representation of the system and (b) the estimated parameters will be highly correlated. Therefore, a complex and badly defined relationship can appear when, in fact, a simpler and parsimonious model in terms of a few common…
