利用随机序检验聚类二元数据的趋势AI 解读

We introduce the use of stochastic ordering for defining treatment-related trend in clustered exchangeable binary data for both when cluster sizes are fixed and when they vary randomly. In the latter case, there is a well-documented tendency for such data to be sparse, a problem we address by making an assumption of interpretability or, equivalently, marginal compatibility. Our procedures are based on a representation of the joint distribution of binary exchangeable random…

异质性面板中的微观与宏观协整AI 解读

We consider the issue of cross-sectional aggregation in nonstationary and heterogeneous panels where each unit cointegrates. We derive asymptotic properties of the aggregate estimate, and necessary and sufficient conditions for cointegration to hold in the aggregate relationship. We then analyze the case when cointegration does not carry through the aggregation process, and we investigate whether the violation of the formal conditions for perfect aggregation can still lead…

利用高频波动率信息预测：HEAVY 模型AI 解读

Abstract This paper studies in some detail a class of high‐frequency‐based volatility (HEAVY) models. These models are direct models of daily asset return volatility based on realised measures constructed from high‐frequency data. Our analysis identifies that the models have momentum and mean reversion effects, and that they adjust quickly to structural breaks in the level of the volatility process. We study how to estimate the models and how they perform through the credit…

贝叶斯分位数回归方法AI 解读

Abstract This paper is a study of the application of Bayesian exponentially tilted empirical likelihood to inference about quantile regressions. In the case of simple quantiles we show the exact form for the likelihood implied by this method and compare it with the Bayesian bootstrap and with Jeffreys' method. For regression quantiles we derive the asymptotic form of the posterior density. We also examine Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations with a proposal density formed…

广义错误率的均衡控制AI 解读

Consider the problem of testing s hypotheses simultaneously. In this paper, we derive methods which control the generalized family-wise error rate given by the probability of k or more false rejections, abbreviated k-FWER. We derive both single-step and step-down procedures that control the k-FWER in finite samples or asymptotically, depending on the situation. Moreover, the procedures are asymptotically balanced in an appropriate sense. We briefly consider control of the…

高维重抽样的若干非渐近结果（二）：多重检验AI 解读

In the context of correlated multiple tests, we aim to nonasymptotically control the family-wise error rate (FWER) using resampling-type procedures. We observe repeated realizations of a Gaussian random vector in possibly high dimension and with an unknown covariance matrix, and consider the one- and two-sided multiple testing problem for the mean values of its coordinates. We address this problem by using the confidence regions developed in the companion paper [Ann.…

高维重抽样的若干非渐近结果（一）：置信区域AI 解读

We study generalized bootstrap confidence regions for the mean of a random vector whose coordinates have an unknown dependency structure. The random vector is supposed to be either Gaussian or to have a symmetric and bounded distribution. The dimensionality of the vector can possibly be much larger than the number of observations and we focus on a nonasymptotic control of the confidence level, following ideas inspired by recent results in learning theory. We consider two…

改进的随机占优自助法检验AI 解读

We propose a new method of testing stochastic dominance that improves on existing tests based on the standard bootstrap or subsampling. The method admits prospects involving infinite as well as finite dimensional unknown parameters, so that the variables are allowed to be residuals from nonparametric and semiparametric models. The proposed bootstrap tests have asymptotic sizes that are less than or equal to the nominal level uniformly over probabilities in the null…

门槛模型中的外生性检验AI 解读

Most work in the area of nonlinear econometric modeling is based on a single equation and assumes exogeneity of the explanatory variables. Recently, work by Caner and Hansen (2004) and Psaradakis, Sola, and Spagnolo (2005) has considered the possibility of estimating nonlinear models by methods that take into account endogeneity but provide no tests for exogeneity. This paper examines the problem of testing for exogeneity in nonlinear threshold models. We suggest new…

重尾误差下非平稳半强 GARCH(1,1) 模型的估计AI 解读

This paper studies the estimation of a semi-strong GARCH(1,1) model when it does not have a stationary solution, where semi-strong means that we do not require the errors to be independent over time. We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for a semi-strong GARCH(1,1) process to have a unique stationary solution. For the nonstationary semi-strong GARCH(1,1) model, we prove that a local minimizer of the least absolute deviations (LAD) criterion converges at the rate $\root \of n $…

短期与长期因果度量：理论与推断AI 解读

The concept of causality introduced by Wiener [Wiener, N., 1956. The theory of prediction, In: E.F. Beckenback, ed., The Theory of Prediction, McGraw-Hill, New York (Chapter 8)] and Granger [Granger, C. W.J., 1969. Investigating causal relations by econometric models and cross-spectral methods, Econometrica 37, 424-459] is defined in terms of predictability one period ahead. This concept can be generalized by considering causality at any given horizon h as well as tests for…

工具变量回归的野生自助法检验AI 解读

We propose a wild bootstrap procedure for linear regression models estimated by instrumental variables. Like other bootstrap procedures that we proposed elsewhere, it uses efficient estimates of the reduced-form equation(s). Unlike the earlier procedures, it takes account of possible heteroscedasticity of unknown form. We apply this procedure to t tests, including heteroscedasticity-robust t tests, and to the Anderson–Rubin test. We provide simulation evidence that it works…

随机占优有效性的检验AI 解读

We consider consistent tests for stochastic dominance efficiency at any order of a given portfolio with respect to all possible portfolios constructed from a set of assets. We justify block bootstrap approaches to achieve valid inference in a time series setting. The test statistics are computed using linear and mixed integer programming formulations. Monte Carlo results show that the bootstrap procedure performs well in finite samples. The empirical application reveals that…

无交叉的分位数与概率曲线AI 解读

This paper proposes a method to address the longstanding problem of lack of monotonicity in estimation of conditional and structural quantile functions, also known as the quantile crossing problem (Bassett and Koenker (1982)). The method consists in sorting or monotone rearranging the original estimated non-monotone curve into a monotone rearranged curve. We show that the rearranged curve is closer to the true quantile curve than the original curve in finite samples,…

矩不等式部分识别模型的 Bootstrap 推断：识别集覆盖AI 解读

This paper introduces a novel bootstrap procedure to perform inference in a wide class of partially identified econometric models. We consider econometric models defined by finitely many weak moment inequalities,2 which encompass many applications of economic interest. The objective of our inferential procedure is to cover the identified set with a prespecified probability.3 We compare our bootstrap procedure, a competing asymptotic approximation, and subsampling procedures…

避免维度诅咒的非线性动态模型求解、估计与选择AI 解读

We present a comprehensive framework for Bayesian estimation of structural nonlinear dynamic economic models on sparse grids to overcome the curse of dimensionality for approximations. We apply sparse grids to a global polynomial approximation of the model solution, to the quadrature of integrals arising as rational expectations, and to three new nonlinear state space filters which speed up the sequential importance resampling particle filter. The posterior of the structural…

利用广义矩选择对矩不等式定义的参数进行推断AI 解读

The topic of this paper is inference in models in which parameters are defined by moment inequalities and/or equalities. The parameters may or may not be identified. This paper introduces a new class of confidence sets and tests based on generalized moment selection (GMS). GMS procedures are shown to have correct asymptotic size in a uniform sense and are shown not to be asymptotically conservative. The power of GMS tests is compared to that of subsampling, m out of n…

序贯临床试验中次要终点的检验与置信区间AI 解读

In a sequential clinical trial whose stopping rule depends on the primary endpoint, inference on secondary endpoints is an important long-standing problem. Ignoring the possibility of early stopping based on the primary endpoint may result in substantial bias. To address this problem, a commonly used approach is to develop bias correction by estimating the bias in the case of bivariate normal outcomes and appealing to joint asymptotic normality of the statistics associated…

利用 Bootstrap 量化经验排名的可信程度AI 解读

The bootstrap is a popular and convenient method for quantifying the authority of an empirical ordering of attributes, for example of a ranking of the performance of institutions or of the influence of genes on a response variable. In the first of these examples, the number, p, of quantities being ordered is sometimes only moderate in size; in the second it can be very large, often much greater than sample size. However, we show that in both types of problem the conventional…

非线性非平稳时间序列自回归的设定检验AI 解读

This paper considers a class of nonparametric autoregressive models with nonstationarity. We propose a nonparametric kernel test for the conditional mean and then establish an asymptotic distribution of the proposed test. Both the setting and the results differ from earlier work on nonparametric autoregression with stationarity. In addition, we develop a new bootstrap simulation scheme for the selection of a suitable bandwidth parameter involved in the kernel test as well as…

参数多项分布模型的半参数容忍区域：构建与应用AI 解读

We introduce a semiparametric “tubular neighborhood” of a parametric model in the multinomial setting. It consists of all multinomial distributions lying in a distance-based neighborhood of the parametric model of interest. Fitting such a tubular model allows one to use a parametric model while treating it as an approximation to the true distribution. In this paper, the Kullback–Leibler distance is used to build the tubular region. Based on this idea one can define the…

变系数模型的局部秩推断AI 解读

By allowing the regression coefficients to change with certain covariates, the class of varying coefficient models offers a flexible approach to modeling nonlinearity and interactions between covariates. This paper proposes a novel estimation procedure for the varying coefficient models based on local ranks. The new procedure provides a highly efficient and robust alternative to the local linear least squares method, and can be conveniently implemented using existing R…

已知参数强度形式下非齐次空间点过程二阶统计量的非参数方差估计AI 解读

We introduce new variance estimation procedures for second-order statistics that are computed from a single realization of intensity reweighted stationary spatial point processes. The statistics are defined either on a subset B of the observation window or on the whole window. For the former, we use subblocks that have the same size and shape as B as "replicates" of B in order to estimate the target variance. For the latter, we develop a subsampling estimator for a key…

竞争风险分位数回归AI 解读

Quantile regression has emerged as a significant extension of traditional linear models and its potential in survival applications has recently been recognized. In this paper we study quantile regression with competing risks data, formulating the model based on conditional quantiles defined using the cumulative incidence function, which includes as a special case an analog to the usual accelerated failure time model. The proposed competing risks quantile regression model…
