基于张量分解的向量自回归贝叶斯推断AI 解读

Vector autoregression (VAR) is a popular model for analyzing multivariate economic time series. However, VARs can be over-parameterized if the numbers of variables and lags are moderately large. Tensor VAR, a recent solution to over-parameterization, treats the coefficient matrix as a third-order tensor and estimates the corresponding tensor decomposition to achieve parsimony. In this paper, we employ the Tensor VAR structure with a CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) decomposition and…

资产收益的贝叶斯分位数时间序列模型AI 解读

We consider jointly modeling a finite collection of quantiles over time. Formal Bayesian inference on quantiles is challenging since we need access to both the quantile function and the likelihood. We propose a flexible Bayesian time-varying transformation model, which allows the likelihood and the quantile function to be directly calculated. We derive conditions for stationarity, discuss suitable priors, and describe a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm for inference. We…

贝叶斯非参数向量自回归模型AI 解读

Vector autoregressive (VAR) models are the main work-horse models for macroeconomic forecasting, and provide a framework for the analysis of complex dynamics that are present between macroeconomic variables. Whether a classical or a Bayesian approach is adopted, most VAR models are linear with Gaussian innovations. This can limit the model’s ability to explain the relationships in macroeconomic series. We propose a nonparametric VAR model that allows for nonlinearity in the…

动态回归模型中的时变稀疏性AI 解读

A novel Bayesian method for inference in dynamic regression models is proposed where both the values of the regression coefficients and the importance of the variables are allowed to change over time. We focus on forecasting and so the parsimony of the model is important for good performance. A prior is developed which allows the shrinkage of the regression coefficients to suitably change over time and an efficient Markov chain Monte Carlo method for posterior inference is…

非同步交易与市场微观结构噪声下的协方差测量AI 解读

This paper studies the problem of covariance estimation when prices are observed non-synchronously and contaminated by i.i.d. microstructure noise. We derive closed form expressions for the bias and variance of three popular covariance estimators, namely realised covariance, realised covariance plus lead and lag adjustments, and the Hayashi and Yoshida estimator, and present a comprehensive investigation into their properties and relative efficiency. Our main finding is that…
