时变可预测性的稳健推断：Sieve-IVX 方法AI 解读

Predictive regression models are often used to evaluate the predictive capability of economic fundamentals on bond and equity returns. Inferential procedures in these regressions typically employ parameter constancy or piecewise constancy in slope coefficients. Such formulations are prone to misspecification, more especially during periods of disturbance or evolution in prevailing economic and financial conditions, which can lead to size distortion and spurious evidence of…

持久时间序列中随机周期的估计AI 解读

A number of economic, financial, and climatic time series exhibit persistent cycles which are characterized by time-dependence patterns and peaks in the spectrum. In this article, we introduce a class of semiparametric cyclical–memory processes which enable the modeling of random cyclical patterns in stationary and non-stationary time series. We develop a theoretical background and asymptotic estimation theory for the frequency of a cycle represented by the location of a…

通过函数逼近对随机趋势进行典型相关分析AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel approach for semiparametric inference on the number s of common trends and their loading matrix ψ in I(1)/I(0) systems. It combines functional approximation of limits of random walks and canonical correlation analysis, performed between the p observed time series of length T and the first K discretized elements of an L2 basis. Tests and selection criteria for s and estimators and tests on ψ are proposed; their properties are discussed as T and K…

动态半参数风险模型变化的序贯监测AI 解读

We propose a sequential monitoring scheme to detect changes in dynamic semiparametric risk models that capture Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) jointly. The monitoring scheme is based on a gradient-based detector and a boundary function, and a change is detected when the detector crosses the boundary function. We derive the asymptotic limit of the stopping time of detection under the null hypothesis of no change. Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed…

未知持续性形式下非线性预测回归的按时间修剪最小二乘AI 解读

Relatively, recent work by Jeganathan (2008, Cowles Foundation Discussion Paper 1649) and Wang (2014, Econometric Theory , 30(3), 509–535) on generalized martingale central limit theorems (MCLTs) implicitly introduces a new class of instrument arrays that yield (mixed) Gaussian limit theory irrespective of the persistence level in the data. Motivated by these developments, we propose a new semiparametric method for estimation and inference in nonlinear predictive regressions…

非平稳与周期时间序列的函数型半参数建模AI 解读

Inspired by a real data example illustrating the periodicity in hog price data, this study aims to analyze time series that exhibit an unknown period alongside complex covariate effects. To address these complexities and effectively handle the data structures, we incorporate the partial functional varying-coefficient single-index model into the classical time series decomposition model. We propose a two-stage estimation procedure designed to accurately estimate the unknown…

过滤非平稳成分后的半参数动态 Copula 模型改进估计AI 解读

This paper considers estimation of short-run dynamics in time series that contain a nonstationary component. We assume that appropriate preliminary methods can be applied to the observed time series to separate short-run elements from long-run slowly evolving secular components, and focus on estimation of the short-run dynamics based on the filtered data. We use a flexible copula-generated Markov model to capture the nonlinear temporal dependence in the short-run component…

高维重复事件的动态因子分析AI 解读

Summary Recurrent event time data arise in many studies, including in biomedicine, public health, marketing and social media analysis. High-dimensional recurrent event data involving many event types and observations have become prevalent with advances in information technology. This article proposes a semiparametric dynamic factor model for the dimension reduction of high-dimensional recurrent event data. The proposed model imposes a low-dimensional structure on the mean…

重新审视依赖性：时间序列最可预测的方面AI 解读

Serial dependence and predictability are two sides of the same coin. The literature has considered alternative measures of these two fundamental concepts. In this article, we aim to distill the most predictable aspect of a univariate time series, that is, the one for which predictability is optimized. Our target measure is the mutual information between the past and future of a random process, a broad measure of predictability that takes into account all future forecast…

动态系统性风险度量的统计推断AI 解读

Systemic risk measures (SRM) quantify the risk of a system induced by the possible distress of any of its components. Applications in economics and finance are numerous. We define a general dynamic framework for the risk factors, allowing us to obtain explicit expressions of the corresponding dynamic SRM. We deduce an easy-to-implement statistical approach which, based on semi-parametric assumptions, reduces to estimating univariate location-scale models and to computing…

半参数时间序列模型的伪方差准极大似然估计AI 解读

We propose a novel estimation approach for a general class of semi-parametric time series models where the conditional expectation is modeled through a parametric function. The proposed class of estimators is based on a Gaussian quasi-likelihood function and it relies on the specification of a parametric pseudo-variance that can contain parametric restrictions with respect to the conditional expectation. The specification of the pseudo-variance and the parametric…

含动态潜在因子的小维度 VAR 模型中的工具变量推断AI 解读

We study semiparametric inference in a small-dimensional vector autoregressive (VAR) model of order p augmented by unobservable common factors with a dynamic described by a VAR process of order q . This state-space specification is useful to measure separately the direct causality effects and the responses to dynamic common factors. We show that the state-space parameters are identifiable from the autocovariance function of the observed process. We estimate the model by…

半参数最优协整检验AI 解读

This paper aims to address the issue of semiparametric efficiency for cointegration rank testing in finite-order vector autoregressive models, where the innovation distribution is considered an infinite-dimensional nuisance parameter. Our asymptotic analysis relies on Le Cam’s theory of limit experiment, which in this context is of the Locally Asymptotically Brownian Functional (LABF) type likelihood ratios. By exploiting the structural representation of LABF, an…

不规则位置与跨位置非平稳下的半参数动态函数系数时空自回归模型AI 解读

Nonlinear dynamic modeling of spatio-temporal data is often a challenge, especially due to irregularly observed locations and location-wide nonstationarity.In this article we propose a semiparametric family of Dynamic Functional-coefficient Autoregressive Spatio-Temporal (DyFAST) models to address the difficulties.We specify the autoregressive smoothing coefficients depending dynamically on both a concerned regime and location so that the models can characterize not only the…

动态自回归流动性模型 DArLiQAI 解读

We introduce a new class of semiparametric dynamic autoregressive models for the Amihud illiquidity measure, which captures both the long-run trend in the illiquidity series with a nonparametric component and the short-run dynamics with an autoregressive component. We develop a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator based on conditional moment restrictions and an efficient semiparametric maximum likelihood (ML) estimator based on an iid assumption. We derive large…

利用矩条件对时变参数进行观测驱动滤波AI 解读

We develop a new and flexible semi-parametric approach for time-varying parameter models when the true dynamics are unknown. The time-varying parameters are estimated using a recursive updating scheme that is driven by the influence function of a conditional moments-based criterion. We show that the updates ensure local improvements of the conditional criterion function in expectation. The dynamics are observation driven, which yields a computationally efficient methodology…

自回归条件贝塔模型AI 解读

This paper introduces an autoregressive conditional beta (ACB) model that allows regressions with dynamic betas (or slope coefficients) and residuals with GARCH conditional volatility. The model fits in the (quasi) score-driven approach recently proposed in the literature, and it is semi-parametric in the sense that the distributions of the innovations are not necessarily specified. The time-varying betas are allowed to depend on past shocks and exogenous variables. We…

高维工具变量协整估计与推断AI 解读

A semiparametric triangular systems approach shows how multicointegrating linkages occur naturally in an I(1) cointegrated regression model when the long run error variance matrix in the system is singular. Under such singularity, cointegrated I(1) systems embody a multicointegrated structure that makes them useful in many empirical settings. Earlier work shows that such systems may be analyzed and estimated without appealing to the associated I(2) system but with suboptimal…

含协整解释变量的半参数单指数预测回归AI 解读

This paper considers the estimation of a semi-parametric single-index regression model that allows for nonlinear predictive relationships. This model is useful for predicting financial asset returns, whose observed behaviour resembles a stationary process, if the multiple nonstationary predictors are cointegrated. The presence of cointegrated regressors imposes a single-index structure in the model, and this structure not only balances the nonstationarity properties of the…

非高斯结构向量自回归模型的局部稳健推断AI 解读

All parameters in structural vector autoregressive (SVAR) models are locally identified when the structural shocks are independent and follow non‐Gaussian distributions. Unfortunately, standard inference methods that exploit such features of the data for identification fail to yield correct coverage for structural functions of the model parameters when deviations from Gaussianity are small. To this extent, we propose a locally robust semiparametric approach to conduct…

多个分位数的半参数建模AI 解读

We develop a semiparametric model to track a large number of quantiles of a time series. The model satisfies the condition of non-crossing quantiles and the defining property of fixed quantiles. A key feature of the specification is that the updating scheme for time-varying quantiles at each probability level is based on the gradient of the check loss function. Theoretical properties of the proposed model are derived such as weak stationarity of the quantile process and…

高维半参数高斯 Copula 向量自回归模型的估计与推断AI 解读

This paper develops simple, robust estimation and inference methods for the transition matrix of a high-dimensional semiparametric Gaussian copula vector autoregressive process. Our estimator is based on rank estimators of the large variance and auto-covariance matrices of a transformed latent high-dimensional Gaussian process. We derive rates of convergence of our estimator based on which we develop de-biased inference for Granger causality. Numerical results demonstrate…

广义协方差估计量AI 解读

We consider a class of semi-parametric dynamic models with iid errors, including the nonlinear mixed causal-noncausal Vector Autoregressive (VAR), Double-Autoregressive (DAR) and stochastic volatility models. To estimate the parameters characterizing the (nonlinear) serial dependence, we introduce a generic Generalized Covariance (GCov) estimator, which minimizes a residual-based multivariate portmanteau statistic. In comparison to the standard methods of moments, the GCov…

连续时间非参数回归的一致与 Lp 收敛及半参数应用AI 解读

We obtain uniform and Lp convergence rates of kernel type nonparametric estimators for the instantaneous conditional mean and variance functions of continuous time regressions, where the regressor is assumed to be a general recurrent diffusion. Our asymptotics are developed under a general set-up, with a shrinking sampling interval and an increasing time span, and without the stationarity assumption. Based on our convergence results, we develop a semiparametric inferential…
