向量自回归模型中多项式协分数关系的表示理论AI 解读

We extend the representation theory of the autoregressive model in the fractional lag operator of Johansen (2008, Econometric Theory 24, 651–676). A recursive algorithm for the characterization of cofractional relations and the corresponding adjustment coefficients is given, and it is shown under which condition the solution of the model is fractional of order d and displays cofractional relations of order d − b and polynomial cofractional relations of order d − 2 b ,…, d −…

存在截面依赖的面板单位根检验：进一步研究AI 解读

An effective way to control for cross-section correlation when conducting a panel unit root test is to remove the common factors from the data. However, there remain many ways to use the defactored residuals to construct a test. In this paper, we use the panel analysis of nonstationarity in idiosyncratic and common components (PANIC) residuals to form two new tests. One estimates the pooled autoregressive coefficient, and one simply uses a sample moment. We establish their…

利用数据修订估计时变测量误差：动态模型中的回溯估计与预测AI 解读

Abstract Over time, economic statistics are refined. This implies that data measuring recent economic events are typically less reliable than older data. Such time variation in measurement error affects optimal forecasts. Measurement error, and its time variation, are of course unobserved. Our contribution is to show how estimates of these can be recovered from the variance of revisions to data using a behavioural model of the statistics agency. We illustrate the gains in…

欧洲电力价格的长期关系AI 解读

Abstract This paper analyses the interdependencies existing in wholesale electricity prices in six major European countries. The results of a robust multivariate long‐run dynamic analysis reveal the presence of four highly integrated central European markets (France, Germany, the Netherlands and Austria). The trend shared by these four electricity markets appears to be common also to gas prices, but not to oil prices. The existence of a common long‐term dynamics among…

欧洲东部与西部对货币政策冲击的响应比较AI 解读

Abstract This paper compares impulse responses to monetary policy shocks in the euro area countries before the EMU and in the New Member States (NMS) from central–eastern Europe. We mitigate the small‐sample problem, which is especially acute for the NMS, by using a Bayesian estimation that combines information across countries. The impulse responses in the NMS are broadly similar to those in the euro area countries. There is some evidence that in the NMS, which have had…

允许截面依赖的面板数据广义非线性工具变量单位根检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a unit root test for panel data with cross-sectional dependence. The test generalizes the nonlinear IV unit root test of Chang (2002) to the case where there exist some common factors in panels. The main idea is to eliminate the cross-sectional dependence through the method of principal components as in Bai and Ng (2004) and then apply Chang's test to the treated data. Under certain conditions, the proposed test is consistent and has a standard normal…

半参数协整回归：年龄分布对消费与储蓄的影响AI 解读

We consider a semiparametric cointegrating regression model, for which the disequilibrium error is further explained nonparametrically by a functional of distributions changing over time. The paper develops the statistical theories of the model. We propose an efficient econometric estimator and obtain its asymptotic distribution. A specification test for the model is also investigated. The model and methodology are applied to analyze how an aging population in the US…

非参数传递函数模型AI 解读

In this paper a class of nonparametric transfer function models is proposed to model nonlinear relationships between 'input' and 'output' time series. The transfer function is smooth with unknown functional forms, and the noise is assumed to be a stationary autoregressive-moving average (ARMA) process. The nonparametric transfer function is estimated jointly with the ARMA parameters. By modeling the correlation in the noise, the transfer function can be estimated more…

面板数据均值与方差的共同断点AI 解读

This paper establishes the consistency of the estimated common break point in panel data. Consistency is obtainable even when a regime contains a single observation, making it possible to quickly identify the onset of a new regime. We also propose a new framework for developing the limiting distribution for the estimated break point, and show how to construct confidence intervals. The least squares method is used for estimating breaks in means and the quasi-maximum…

使用时变参数动态Nelson–Siegel模型分析利率期限结构AI 解读

In this article we introduce time-varying parameters in the dynamic Nelson–Siegel yield curve model for the simultaneous analysis and forecasting of interest rates of different maturities. The Nelson–Siegel model has been recently reformulated as a dynamic factor model with vector autoregressive factors. We extend this framework in two directions. First, the factor loadings in the Nelson–Siegel yield model depend on a single loading parameter that we treat as the fourth…

大规模数据近似因子模型中确定因子数量的检验程序AI 解读

The paradigm of a factor model is very appealing and has been used extensively in economic analyses. Underlying the factor model is the idea that a large number of economic variables can be adequately modeled by a small number of indicator variables. Throughout this extensive research activity on large dimensional factor models a major preoccupation has been the development of tools for determining the number of factors needed for modeling. This article provides an…

转移密度未知的马尔可夫模型的经验特征函数估计AI 解读

In this paper, we consider the estimation of Markov models where the transition density is unknown. The approach we propose is based on the empirical characteristic function estimation procedure with an approximate optimal weight function. The approximate optimal weight function is obtained through an Edgeworth/Gram--Charlier expansion of the logarithmic transition density of the Markov process. We derive the estimating equations and demonstrate that they are similar to the…

改进动态模型的稳健模型选择检验AI 解读

We propose an improved model selection test for dynamic models using a new asymptotic approximation to the sampling distribution of a new test statistic. The model selection test is applicable to dynamic models with very general selection criteria and estimation methods. Since our test statistic does not assume the exact form of a true model, the test is essentially non-parametric once competing models are estimated. For the unknown serial correlation in data, we use a…

马尔可夫切换 GARCH 模型的理论与推断AI 解读

We develop a Markov-switching GARCH model (MS-GARCH) wherein the conditional mean and variance switch in time from one GARCH process to another. The switching is governed by a hidden Markov chain. We provide sufficient conditions for geometric ergodicity and existence of moments of the process. Because of path dependence, maximum likelihood estimation is not feasible. By enlarging the parameter space to include the state variables, Bayesian estimation using a Gibbs sampling…

监测大量数据流的高效可扩展方案AI 解读

The sequential changepoint detection problem is studied in the context of global online monitoring of a large number of independent data streams. We are interested in detecting an occurring event as soon as possible, but we do not know when the event will occur, nor do we know which subset of data streams will be affected by the event. A family of scalable schemes is proposed based on the sum of the local cumulative sum, cusum, statistics from each individual data stream,…

利用局部平稳小波模型估计非平稳时间序列间的线性依赖AI 解读

Large volumes of neuroscience data comprise multiple, nonstationary electrophysiological or neuroimaging time series recorded from different brain regions. Accurately estimating the dependence between such neural time series is critical, since changes in the dependence structure are presumed to reflect functional interactions between neuronal populations. We propose a new dependence measure, derived from a bivariate locally stationary wavelet time series model. Since…

粒子 Markov 链 Monte Carlo 方法AI 解读

Summary Markov chain Monte Carlo and sequential Monte Carlo methods have emerged as the two main tools to sample from high dimensional probability distributions. Although asymptotic convergence of Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithms is ensured under weak assumptions, the performance of these algorithms is unreliable when the proposal distributions that are used to explore the space are poorly chosen and/or if highly correlated variables are updated independently. We show…

时间序列置信区间构造的自归一化方法AI 解读

Summary We propose a new method to construct confidence intervals for quantities that are associated with a stationary time series, which avoids direct estimation of the asymptotic variances. Unlike the existing tuning-parameter-dependent approaches, our method has the attractive convenience of being free of any user-chosen number or smoothing parameter. The interval is constructed on the basis of an asymptotically distribution-free self-normalized statistic, in which the…

弱依赖函数型数据AI 解读

Functional data often arise from measurements on fine time grids and are obtained by separating an almost continuous time record into natural consecutive intervals, for example, days. The functions thus obtained form a functional time series, and the central issue in the analysis of such data consists in taking into account the temporal dependence of these functional observations. Examples include daily curves of financial transaction data and daily patterns of geophysical…

高度或非高度相关协变量下的加性模型估计AI 解读

Motivated by normalizing DNA microarray data and by predicting the interest rates, we explore nonparametric estimation of additive models with highly correlated covariates. We introduce two novel approaches for estimating the additive components, integration estimation and pooled backfitting estimation. The former is designed for highly correlated covariates, and the latter is useful for nonhighly correlated covariates. Asymptotic normalities of the proposed estimators are…

两类半参数扩散模型的伪最大似然估计AI 解读

Two classes of semiparametric diffusion models are considered, where either the drift or the diffusion term is parameterized, while the other term is left unspecified. We propose a pseudo-maximum likelihood estimator (PMLE) of the parametric component that maximizes the likelihood with a preliminary estimator of the unspecified term plugged in. It is demonstrated how models and estimators can be used in a two-step specification testing strategy of semiparametric and fully…

重复时间序列谱的混合效应模型与树结构小波估计AI 解读

This article develops a method for estimating the spectrum of a stationary process using time series traces recorded from experimental designs. Our procedure estimates the “common” log-spectrum and the variability over the traces (or subjects) using a mixed effects model. We combine spatially adaptive smoothing methods with recursive dyadic partitioning to construct a model for predicting subject-specific effects. The method is easy to implement and can handle large datasets…

扩散过程的无穷小稳健性AI 解读

We develop infinitesimally robust statistical procedures for the general diffusion processes. We first prove the existence and uniqueness of the times-series influence function of conditionally unbiased M-estimators for ergodic and stationary diffusions, under weak conditions on the (martingale) estimating function used. We then characterize the robustness of M-estimators for diffusions and derive a class of conditionally unbiased optimal robust estimators. To compute these…

利用动态统计模型分析总硝酸盐浓度的时空变化AI 解读

Atmospheric concentrations of total nitrate (TNO3), defined here as gas-phase nitric acid plus particle-phase nitrate, are difficult to simulate in numerical air quality models due to the presence of a variety of formation pathways and loss mechanisms, some of which are highly uncertain. The goal of this study is to estimate the relative importance of these different pathways across the Eastern United States by identifying empirical relationships that exist between TNO3…
