Efficient shape-constrained inference for the autocovariance sequence from a reversible Markov chain
可逆马尔可夫链自协方差序列的高效形状约束推断
In this paper, we study the problem of estimating the autocovariance sequence resulting from a reversible Markov chain. A motivating application for studying this problem is the estimation of the asymptotic variance in central limit theorems for Markov chains. We propose a novel shape-constrained estimator of the autocovariance sequence, which is based on the key observation that the representability of the autocovariance sequence as a moment sequence imposes certain shape…
