动态因子网络模型及其国际贸易应用AI 解读

We introduce a dynamic network model with probabilistic link functions that depend on stochastically time-varying parameters. We adopt a blockmodel framework and allow the high-dimensional vector of link probabilities to be a function of a low-dimensional set of dynamic factors. The resulting dynamic factor network model has a basic and transparent structure. However, parameter estimation, signal extraction of stochastic loadings and dynamic factors, and the econometric…

共同冲击面板模型中异质系数的有效估计AI 解读

This paper investigates the estimation and inference issues of heterogeneous coefficients in panel data models with common shocks. We propose a novel two-step method to estimate the heterogeneous coefficients. We establish the asymptotic theory of our estimators, including consistency, asymptotic representation, and limiting distribution. Our two-step method can effectively address the limitations of the existing methods, such as the common correlated effects method proposed…

高维时间序列的门限因子模型AI 解读

We consider a threshold factor model for high-dimensional time series in which the dynamics of the time series is assumed to switch between different regimes according to the value of a threshold variable. This is an extension of threshold modeling to a high-dimensional time series setting under a factor structure. Specifically, within each threshold regime, the time series is assumed to follow a factor model. The regime switching mechanism creates structural changes in 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…

高频因子模型与回归AI 解读

We consider a nonparametric time series regression model. Our framework allows precise estimation of betas without the usual assumption of betas being piecewise constant. This property makes our framework particularly suitable to study individual stocks. We provide an inference framework for all components of the model, including idiosyncratic volatility and idiosyncratic jumps. Our empirical analysis investigates the largest dataset in the high-frequency literature. First,…

广义动态因子模型与波动率：一致性、收敛速度及预测区间AI 解读

Volatilities, in high-dimensional panels of economic time series with a dynamic factor structure on the levels or returns, typically also admit a dynamic factor decomposition. We consider a two-stage dynamic factor model method recovering the common and idiosyncratic components of both levels and log-volatilities. Specifically, in a first estimation step, we extract the common and idiosyncratic shocks for the levels, from which a log-volatility proxy is computed. In a second…

构建具有聚类结构的动态因子模型的稳健程序AI 解读

Dynamic factor models provide a useful way to model large sets of time series. These data often have heterogeneity and cluster structure and the formulation and estimation of dynamic factor models should be adapted to these features. This article presents a procedure to fit Dynamic Factor Models with Cluster Structure (DFMCS), where some of the factors are global and others group-specific, to heterogeneous data that may include multivariate additive outliers and level…

MIMIX：用于设计实验微生物组数据的贝叶斯混合效应模型AI 解读

Recent advances in bioinformatics have made high-throughput microbiome data widely available, and new statistical tools are required to maximize the information gained from these data. For example, analysis of high-dimensional microbiome data from designed experiments remains an open area in microbiome research. Contemporary analyses work on metrics that summarize collective properties of the microbiome, but such reductions preclude inference on the fine-scale effects of…

具有长程依赖的曲线时间序列AI 解读

We introduce methods and theory for functional or curve time series with long-range dependence. The temporal sum of the curve process is shown to be asymptotically normally distributed, the conditions for this covering a functional version of fractionally integrated autoregressive moving averages. We also construct an estimate of the long-run covariance function, which we use, via functional principal component analysis, in estimating the orthonormal functions spanning the…

高维矩阵值时间序列的约束因子模型AI 解读

High-dimensional matrix-variate time series data are becoming widely available in many scientific fields, such as economics, biology, and meteorology. To achieve significant dimension reduction while preserving the intrinsic matrix structure and temporal dynamics in such data, Wang, Liu, and Chen proposed a matrix factor model, that is, shown to be able to provide effective analysis. In this article, we establish a general framework for incorporating domain and prior…

文字成为新数字：基于新闻的商业周期同步指数AI 解读

I construct a daily business cycle index based on quarterly GDP growth and textual information contained in a daily business newspaper. The newspaper data are decomposed into time series representing news topics, while the business cycle index is estimated using the topics and a time-varying dynamic factor model where dynamic sparsity is enforced upon the factor loadings using a latent threshold mechanism. The resulting index classifies the phases of the business cycle with…

多元波动模型条件相关结构的变点检测AI 解读

We propose semiparametric CUSUM tests to detect a change-point in the correlation structures of nonlinear multivariate models with dynamically evolving volatilities. The asymptotic distributions of the proposed statistics are derived under mild conditions. We discuss the applicability of our method to the most often used models, including constant conditional correlation (CCC), dynamic conditional correlation (DCC), BEKK, corrected DCC, and factor models. Our simulations…

马尔可夫切换三遍回归滤波器AI 解读

We introduce a new approach for the estimation of high-dimensional factor models with regime-switching factor loadings by extending the linear three-pass regression filter to settings where parameters can vary according to Markov processes. The new method, denoted as Markov-switching three-pass regression filter (MS-3PRF), is suitable for datasets with large cross-sectional dimensions, since estimation and inference are straightforward, as opposed to existing…

时变随机对象的函数型模型AI 解读

Summary Functional data analysis provides a popular toolbox of functional models for the analysis of samples of random functions that are real valued. In recent years, samples of time-varying object data such as time-varying networks that are not in a vector space have been increasingly collected. These data can be viewed as elements of a general metric space that lacks local or global linear structure and therefore common approaches that have been used with great success…

右奇异向量投影图：潜在混杂下的快速高维协方差估计AI 解读

Summary We consider the problem of estimating a high dimensional p × p covariance matrix Σ, given n observations of confounded data with covariance Σ+ΓΓT, where Γ is an unknown p × q matrix of latent factor loadings. We propose a simple and scalable estimator based on the projection onto the right singular vectors of the observed data matrix, which we call right singular vector projection (RSVP). Our theoretical analysis of this method reveals that, in contrast with…

基于轴对齐随机投影的稀疏主成分分析AI 解读

Summary We introduce a new method for sparse principal component analysis, based on the aggregation of eigenvector information from carefully selected axis-aligned random projections of the sample covariance matrix. Unlike most alternative approaches, our algorithm is non-iterative, so it is not vulnerable to a bad choice of initialization. We provide theoretical guarantees under which our principal subspace estimator can attain the minimax optimal rate of convergence in…

连续函数 Banach 空间中的函数型数据分析AI 解读

Functional data analysis is typically conducted within the $L^{2}$-Hilbert space framework. There is by now a fully developed statistical toolbox allowing for the principled application of the functional data machinery to real-world problems, often based on dimension reduction techniques such as functional principal component analysis. At the same time, there have recently been a number of publications that sidestep dimension reduction steps and focus on a fully functional $L^{2}$…

异质动态面板分位数回归模型的共同相关效应估计AI 解读

Summary This paper proposes a quantile regression estimator for a heterogeneous panel model with lagged dependent variables and interactive effects. The paper adopts the Common Correlated Effects (CCE) approach proposed in the literature and demonstrates that the extension to the estimation of dynamic quantile regression models is feasible under similar conditions to the ones used in the literature. The new quantile regression estimator is shown to be consistent and its…

发达与新兴经济体实际活动的共同波动：全球与群组特有国际因子的检验AI 解读

Summary Although globalization has shaped the world economy in recent decades, emerging economies have experienced impressive growth compared to developed economies, suggesting specific comovements within developed and emerging business cycles. Using observed developed and emerging real economy activity variables, we investigate whether the latter assertion can be supported by observed data. Based on a two‐level factor model, we assume these activity variables can be…

基于随机扰动的因子个数秩估计AI 解读

Summary We introduce a random-perturbation-based rank estimator of the number of factors of a large-dimensional approximate factor model. An expansion of the rank estimator demonstrates that the random perturbation reduces the biases due to the persistence of the factor series and the dependence between the factor and error series. A central limit theorem for the rank estimator with convergence rate higher than root $n$ gives a new hypothesis-testing procedure for both…

主成分线性泛函的有效估计AI 解读

We study principal component analysis (PCA) for mean zero i.i.d. Gaussian observations $X_{1},\dots,X_{n}$ in a separable Hilbert space $\mathbb{H}$ with unknown covariance operator $\Sigma $. The complexity of the problem is characterized by its effective rank $\mathbf{r}(\Sigma):=\frac{\operatorname{tr}(\Sigma)}{\|\Sigma \|}$, where $\mathrm{tr}(\Sigma)$ denotes the trace of $\Sigma $ and $\|\Sigma\|$ denotes its operator norm. We develop a method of bias reduction in the…

弱可识别性下的主成分方向检验AI 解读

We consider the problem of testing, on the basis of a $p$-variate Gaussian random sample, the null hypothesis $\mathcal{H}_{0}:\boldsymbol{\theta}_{1}=\boldsymbol{\theta}_{1}^{0}$ against the alternative $\mathcal{H}_{1}:\boldsymbol{\theta}_{1}\neq \boldsymbol{\theta}_{1}^{0}$, where $\boldsymbol{\theta}_{1}$ is the “first” eigenvector of the underlying covariance matrix and $\boldsymbol{\theta}_{1}^{0}$ is a fixed unit $p$-vector. In the classical setup where eigenvalues $\lambda_{1}>\lambda_{2}\geq \cdots \geq \lambda_{p}$…

模型辅助变量聚类：极小极大最优恢复与算法AI 解读

The problem of variable clustering is that of estimating groups of similar components of a $p$-dimensional vector $X=(X_{1},\ldots ,X_{p})$ from $n$ independent copies of $X$. There exists a large number of algorithms that return data-dependent groups of variables, but their interpretation is limited to the algorithm that produced them. An alternative is model-based clustering, in which one begins by defining population level clusters relative to a model that embeds notions…

对冲基金绩效的非参数评估AI 解读

We propose a new class of performance measures for Hedge Fund (HF) returns based on a family of empirically identifiable stochastic discount factors (SDFs). The SDF-based measures incorporate no-arbitrage pricing restrictions and naturally embed information about higher-order mixed moments between HF and benchmark factors returns. We provide a full asymptotic theory for our SDF estimators to test for the statistical significance of each fund’s performance and for the…
