高维矩阵值时间序列的时空自回归模型AI 解读

Motivated by predicting intraday trading volume curves, we consider two spatio-temporal autoregressive models for matrix time series, in which each column may represent daily trading volume curve of one asset, and each row captures synchronized 5-minute volume intervals acrossmultiple assets. While traditional matrix time series focus mainly on temporal evolution, our approach incorporates both spatial and temporal dynamics, enabling simultaneous analysis of interactions…

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…

用于变点检测的在线核 CUSUM 方法AI 解读

Abstract We present a computationally efficient online kernel Cumulative Sum method for change-point detection that utilizes the maximum over a set of kernel statistics to account for the unknown change-point location. Our approach exhibits increased sensitivity to small changes compared to existing kernel-based change-point detection methods, including the Scan-B statistic, corresponding to a non-parametric Shewhart chart-type procedure. We provide accurate analytic…

MCA：面向条件众数的高维众数成分分析AI 解读

The modal factor model represents a novel statistical framework for dimension reduction in high dimensional panel data analysis. It is specifically designed to capture modal factors which exert a significant influence on the conditional mode of the distribution of the observables. Statistical inference for this model is developed based on a newly proposed modal component analysis, where modal factors and their corresponding loadings are estimated through maximizing a…

利用中心对称核进行谱密度估计中的短滞后差分AI 解读

Summary Mean-robust estimation of spectral density and long-run variance is crucial for many statistical inference procedures. However, existing methods often degrade when serially dependent data exhibit volatile, time-varying trends, or sudden jumps, particularly in small samples. While differencing and kernel averaging are standard tools for achieving mean robustness and consistency, they are not inherently compatible. Combining them can compromise optimality.…

近历元依赖重尾时间序列的极端局部线性分位数回归AI 解读

This paper develops a data-driven inference procedure for extreme analysis of data with near epoch dependence (NED), a condition less restrictive than traditional dependence structures like α-mixing, making it particularly useful for analyzing heavy-tailed time series data. To capture nonlinear data structures, we propose a new framework that combines local linear quantile regression with extreme value theory. We first study the asymptotic properties of the local-linear…

基于保序回归的结构变化检验AI 解读

Detecting structural changes in economic relationships has been a longstanding challenge in econometrics. Most of the literature on structural breaks has considered abrupt structural breaks. Existing tests for detecting smooth structural change typically rely on kernel estimation. In this article, we introduce a novel tuning-parameter-free test that minimizes a criterion function over all possible nondecreasing or nonincreasing structural change functions. This test is…

动态矩阵因子模型：协变量驱动的时变载荷AI 解读

This paper proposes a covariate-driven matrix factor model in which the row and column loading matrices evolve as nonparametric functions of an observable time-varying covariate sequence. This flexible specification accommodates dynamic factor loadings driven by the temporal characteristics of the covariate. We develop a nonparametric estimation procedure that combines kernel smoothing with principal component analysis (PCA). Under high-dimensional asymptotics, we establish…

任意带宽选择下的预测模型权重形状优化AI 解读

Parameter instability has been widely documented to lead to poor predictive accuracy for economic forecasting models. Adaptive schemes for data weighting, such as rolling-window estimation, only involve a single tuning parameter (akin to a bandwidth) and have been widely used to address this issue. The importance of the shape of the weighting scheme (kernel) has received far less attention in the forecasting literature. In this paper we show that in practice there can be a…

非线性模型时变参数的局部多项式估计AI 解读

We develop a novel asymptotic theory for local polynomial extremum estimators of time-varying parameters in a broad class of nonlinear time-series models, including discrete-valued ones. We show that the proposed estimators are asymptotically normally distributed under weak conditions. We also provide a precise characterization of the leading bias term due to smoothing. We demonstrate the usefulness of our general results by establishing primitive conditions for local…

时间序列长期方差估计中的尾部后着色AI 解读

Prewhitening is a common approach to deal with strong autocorrelation. In this article, we propose a new approach called tail postcoloring, motivated by it. It uses parametric models to project, or color back, the neglected tail autocovariances in nonparametric estimators onto the final estimator. This approach bridges the non-parametric variance estimator and the parametric coloring model through a scaling factor. It automatically switches between these two arms using a…

协变量增强的累积和泡沫监测程序AI 解读

We explore how information from covariates can be incorporated into the CUSUM-based real-time monitoring procedure for explosive asset price bubbles developed in Homm and Breitung (2012, Journal of Financial Econometrics 10, 198–231). Where dynamic covariates are present in the data generating process (DGP), the false positive rate (FPR) of the basic CUSUM procedure, which is based on the assumption that prices follow a univariate DGP, under the null of no explosivity will…

含潜变量的马尔可夫过程学习与识别AI 解读

We consider the problem of identifying the parameters of a time-homogeneous bivariate Markov chain when only one of the two variables is observable. We show that, subject to conditions that we spell out, the transition kernel and the distribution of the initial condition are uniquely recoverable (up to an arbitrary relabelling of the state space of the latent variable) from the joint distribution of four (or more) consecutive time-series observations. The result is,…

朱福康与郭祥宇对《流形假说的统计探索》的讨论AI 解读

We congratulate the authors on their introducing theoretical explanations and applications of the manifold hypothesis in statistics based on the latent metric space model. Using the continuity of the mean correlation kernel in the latent metric space model, the authors employ a feature map to connect the metric space of latent variables to a Euclidean space. This links the geometric and statistical properties of the model. Furthermore, the smoothness of the mean correlation…

严格适当评分规则的局部化AI 解读

When comparing predictive distributions, forecasters are typically not equally interested in all regions of the outcome space. To address the demand for focused forecast evaluation, we propose a procedure to transform strictly proper scoring rules into their localized counterparts while preserving the score divergence and strict propriety. This is accomplished by applying the original scoring rule to a censored distribution. Our procedure nests the censored likelihood score…

因子结构的自适应残差检验AI 解读

This article addresses the critical issue of testing static approximate factor models against unspecified alternatives by proposing an adaptive residual-based test. Our methodology is versatile, encompassing alternatives such as factor models with nonlinear factor structures, conditional factor models, and factor models with structural breaks. We first establish the asymptotic properties of a so-called fixed bandwidth-based test, showing its asymptotic normality and power…

分组时变网络向量自回归模型的估计AI 解读

This paper introduces a flexible time-varying network vector autoregressive model framework for large-scale time series. A latent group structure is imposed on the heterogeneous and node-specific time-varying momentum and network spillover effects so that the number of unknown time-varying coefficients to be estimated can be reduced considerably. A classic agglomerative clustering algorithm with nonparametrically estimated distance matrix is combined with a ratio criterion…

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…

非平稳性与模型误设引起的低频污染理论：对异方差与自相关稳健推断的影响AI 解读

We establish theoretical results about the low frequency contamination (i.e., long memory effects) induced by general nonstationarity for estimates such as the sample autocovariance and the periodogram, and deduce consequences for heteroskedasticity and autocorrelation robust (HAR) inference. We present explicit expressions for the asymptotic bias of these estimates. We show theoretically that nonparametric smoothing over time is robust to low frequency contamination.…

无限阶面板自回归过程的工具变量估计AI 解读

We consider instrumental variables (IV) estimation of a possibly infinite order dynamic panel autoregressive (AR) process with individual effects. The estimation is based on the sieve AR approximation, with its lag order increasing with sample size. Transforming the variable to eliminate individual effects generates an endogeneity problem, particularly when the time series is only moderately long. IV approaches are useful to obtain well-behaved estimators in panels with…

函数系数回归与气候敏感性分析的新渐近理论AI 解读

A general asymptotic theory is established for sample cross moments of nonstationary time series, allowing for long-range dependence and local unit roots. The theory provides a substantial extension of earlier results on nonparametric regression that include near-cointegrated nonparametric regression as well as spurious nonparametric regression. Many new models are covered by the limit theory, among which are functional coefficient regressions in which both regressors and…

谱密度函数的实用区间估计方法AI 解读

The spectral density function can play a key role in time series analysis, where nonparametric interval estimation of the spectral density is a fundamental issue. However, the prevailing pointwise interval methods for spectral densities, including chi-square approximation and frequency domain bootstrap (FDB), can be misleading in practice, perhaps more so than appreciated, as confidence intervals often exhibit low coverage accuracy as well as high sensitivity to tuning…

动态分位数的函数系数 VAR 模型及非参数金融网络构建AI 解读

In this article, we investigate a functional coefficient vector autoregressive model for conditional quantiles, in which the interdependences among tail risks such as Value-at-Risk are allowed to vary smoothly with a variable of general economy. Methodologically, we develop an easy-to-implement two-stage procedure to estimate functionals in the dynamic network system based on the deep learning method of neural networks and the local linear smoothing technique. We establish…

局部平稳条件下时变因子模型的推断AI 解读

This paper considers estimation of and testing for a class of locally stationary time series factor models with evolutionary dynamics, where the entries and dimension of the factor loading matrix are allowed to vary with time while the factors and idiosyncratic components are locally stationary. We propose an adaptive sieve estimator for the span of the time-varying loading matrix of a locally stationary factor process. A uniformly consistent estimator of the effective…
