高维异质数据的无模型分布稳健特征筛选与错误发现控制AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a model-free feature screening framework tailored for high-dimensional and heterogeneous datasets, based on a novel distributionally robust dependence measure termed Copula Divergence. The proposed screening method, named CD-Screen, addresses critical limitations of existing feature screening methods, such as restrictive modeling assumptions and sensitivity to heterogeneous feature distributions. CD-Screen ranks features according to their Copula…

高维分位数回归的无模型特征筛选与错误发现控制AI 解读

High-dimensional quantile regressions are powerful tools for capturing the diverse relationships between predictors and response variables across different quantile levels. However, existing feature screening methods for quantile regressions often rely on restrictive model assumptions, limiting their applicability in complex data settings. In this paper, we propose a novel model-free feature screening framework for high-dimensional quantile regressions, leveraging a novel…

时空动态模型的结构识别AI 解读

Identifying latent cluster structures in spatial trends constitutes an important yet challenging task in diverse applications. In this paper, we propose a novel method based on a discrepancy measure over small spatial blocks that effectively uncovers heterogeneity within dynamic spatial data. Our approach effectively detects boundaries where structural changes occur, thus allowing for more nuanced insights into underlying spatial patterns. Unlike methods predicated on strong…

未知分组结构下的大型精度矩阵估计AI 解读

The estimation of large precision matrices is crucial in modern multivariate analysis. Traditional sparsity assumptions, while useful, often fall short of accurately capturing the dependencies among features. This paper addresses this limitation by focusing on precision matrix estimation for multivariate data characterized by a flexible yet unknown group structure. We introduce a novel approach that begins with the detection of this unknown group structure, clustering…

结构变化检测中控制错误发现率的广义Knockoff程序AI 解读

Controlling false discovery rate (FDR) is crucial for variable selection, multiple testing, among other signal detection problems. In literature, there is certainly no shortage of FDR control strategies when selecting individual features, but the relevant works for structural change detection, such as profile analysis for piecewise constant coefficients and integration analysis with multiple data sources, are limited. In this paper, we propose a generalized knockoff…

面向多响应数据的低秩高维多元线性模型估计AI 解读

In this article, we study low rank high-dimensional multivariate linear models (LRMLM) for high-dimensional multi-response data. We propose an intuitively appealing estimation approach and develop an algorithm for implementation purposes. Asymptotic properties are established to justify the estimation procedure theoretically. Intensive simulation studies are also conducted to demonstrate performance when the sample size is finite, and a comparison is made with some popular…

利用 Knockoff 特征进行无模型特征筛选与错误发现率控制AI 解读

This article proposes a model-free and data-adaptive feature screening method for ultrahigh-dimensional data. The proposed method is based on the projection correlation which measures the dependence between two random vectors. This projection correlation based method does not require specifying a regression model, and applies to data in the presence of heavy tails and multivariate responses. It enjoys both sure screening and rank consistency properties under weak…

具有同质结构的高维动态协方差矩阵AI 解读

High-dimensional covariance matrices appear in many disciplines. Much literature has devoted to the research in high-dimensional constant covariance matrices. However, constant covariance matrices are not sufficient in applications, for example, in portfolio allocation, dynamic covariance matrices would be more appropriate. As argued in this article, there are two difficulties in the introduction of dynamic structures into covariance matrices: (1) simply assuming each entry…

增广因子模型：市场风险因子验证与债券风险溢价预测AI 解读

We study factor models augmented by observed covariates that have explanatory powers on the unknown factors. In financial factor models, the unknown factors can be reasonably well explained by a few observable proxies, such as the Fama–French factors. In diffusion index forecasts, identified factors are strongly related to several directly measurable economic variables such as consumption-wealth variable, financial ratios, and term spread. With those covariates, both the…

因子调整的正则化模型选择AI 解读

This paper studies model selection consistency for high dimensional sparse regression when data exhibits both cross-sectional and serial dependency. Most commonly-used model selection methods fail to consistently recover the true model when the covariates are highly correlated. Motivated by econometric and financial studies, we consider the case where covariate dependence can be reduced through the factor model, and propose a consistency strategy named Factor-Adjusted…

FarmTest：具有近似错误发现控制的因子调整稳健多重检验AI 解读

Large-scale multiple testing with correlated and heavy-tailed data arises in a wide range of research areas from genomics, medical imaging to finance. Conventional methods for estimating the false discovery proportion (FDP) often ignore the effect of heavy-tailedness and the dependence structure among test statistics, and thus may lead to inefficient or even inconsistent estimation. Also, the commonly imposed joint normality assumption is arguably too stringent for many…

面板数据分析中的结构识别AI 解读

Panel data analysis is an important topic in statistics and econometrics. In such analysis, it is very common to assume the impact of a covariate on the response variable remains constant across all individuals. While the modelling based on this assumption is reasonable when only the global effect is of interest, in general, it may overlook some individual/subgroup attributes of the true covariate impact. In this paper, we propose a data driven approach to identify the…

超高维广义半变系数模型的模型选择与结构识别AI 解读

In this paper, we study the model selection and structure specification for the generalised semi-varying coefficient models (GSVCMs), where the number of potential covariates is allowed to be larger than the sample size. We first propose a penalised likelihood method with the LASSO penalty function to obtain the preliminary estimates of the functional coefficients. Then, using the quadratic approximation for the local log-likelihood function and the adaptive group LASSO…
