ON ASYMPTOTIC OPTIMALITY OF LEAST SQUARES MODEL AVERAGING WHEN TRUE MODEL IS INCLUDED
真实模型包含在候选集中时最小二乘模型平均的渐近最优性
Asymptotic optimality is a key theoretical property in model averaging. Due to technical difficulties, existing studies rely on restricted weight sets or on the assumption that there is no true model with fixed dimensions in the candidate set. The focus of this article is to overcome these difficulties by studying a class of least squares model averaging methods with nested candidate models, which includes Mallows model averaging (MMA) of Hansen (2007, Econometrica 75,…
