时间变换扩散模型中已实现方差估计的高效抽样AI 解读

This paper analyzes the benefits of sampling intraday returns in intrinsic time for the realized variance (RV) estimator. We theoretically show in finite samples that depending on the permitted sampling information, the RV estimator is most efficient under either hitting time sampling that samples whenever the price changes by a pre-determined threshold, or under the new concept of realized business time that samples according to a combination of observed trades and…

定制已实现波动率：面向波动率预测的风险度量AI 解读

Standard realized volatility (RV) measures estimate the latent volatility of an asset price using high frequency data with no reference to how or where the estimate will subsequently be used. This paper presents methods for “tailoring” the estimate of volatility to the application in which it will be used. For example, if the volatility measure will be used in a specific parametric forecasting model, it may be possible to exploit that knowledge to construct a better measure…

已实现协方差度量的概率分布AI 解读

Realized covariance measures (RCs) are an essential input for assessing the risks of different investment allocations. Thus, it is useful to model and forecast them. To this end, a realistic distributional assumption is needed. In this paper, we compare all probability distributions that have so far in the literature been applied to time-series of RCs. We derive them in a unified framework based on their stochastic representations using random lower and upper triangular…

已实现漂移AI 解读

Drift and volatility are two mainsprings of asset price dynamics. While volatilities have been studied extensively in the literature, drifts are commonly believed to be impossible to estimate and largely ignored in the literature. This paper shows how to detect drift using realized autocovariance implemented on high-frequency data. We use a theoretical treatment in which the classical model for the efficient price, an Itō semimartingale possibly contaminated by…

天然气价格的实时预测AI 解读

ABSTRACT This paper provides a comprehensive analysis of the forecastability of the real price of natural gas in the United States at the monthly frequency considering a universe of models that differ in complexity and economic content. We find that considerable reductions in mean‐squared prediction error relative to a no‐change benchmark can be achieved in real time for horizons of up to 2 years. A particularly promising model is a vector autoregressive (VAR) model that…

删失生存数据中区分能力指标的高效非参数估计AI 解读

Abstract Discrimination measures such as the concordance index and the cumulative-dynamic time-dependent area under the ROC-curve are widely used in the medical literature for evaluating the predictive accuracy of a scoring rule which relates a set of prognostic markers to the risk of experiencing a particular event. Often the scoring rule being evaluated in terms of discriminatory ability is the linear predictor of a survival regression model such as the Cox proportional…

选民偏好的共同变动：超越民调的美国总统选举预测市场信息AI 解读

We propose a novel time-series econometric framework to forecast U.S. Presidential election outcomes in real time by combining polling data, economic fundamentals, and political prediction market prices. Our model estimates the joint dynamics of voter preferences across states. Applying our approach to the 2024 Presidential Election, we find a two-factor structure driving the vast majority of the variation in voter preferences. We identify electorally similar state clusters…

变系数 ARMA 模型的统一理论与显式解AI 解读

A new explicit solution representation is provided for ARMA recursions with drift and either deterministically or stochastically varying coefficients. It is expressed in terms of the determinants of banded Hessenberg matrices and, as such, is an explicit function of the coefficients. In addition to computational efficiency, the proposed solution provides a more explicit analysis of the fundamental properties of such processes, including their Wold–Cramér decomposition, their…

短暂不稳定情形下的预测能力比较AI 解读

Summary We consider forecast comparison in the presence of instability when this affects only a short period of time. We demonstrate that global tests do not perform well in this case because they were not designed to capture very short-lived instabilities, and their power vanishes altogether when the magnitude of the shock is very large. We then discuss non-parametric approaches that are more suitable to detect such situations. We illustrate these results in a Monte Carlo…

高维一般学习程序的拟合优度评估AI 解读

Black-box learners have demonstrated remarkable success across various fields due to their high predictive accuracy. However, the complexity of their learning procedures poses significant challenges in evaluating whether a given learner has achieved optimal performance on datasets with unknown data-generating mechanisms. We propose a general goodness-of-fit test for assessing different learning procedures involving high-dimensional predictors, encompassing methods from…

SOFARI：基于流形的高维统计推断AI 解读

Multi-task learning is a widely used technique for harnessing information from various tasks. Recently, the sparse orthogonal factor regression (SOFAR) framework, based on the sparse singular value decomposition (SVD) within the coefficient matrix, was introduced for interpretable multi-task learning, enabling the discovery of meaningful latent feature-response association networks across different layers. However, conducting precise inference on the latent factor matrices…

高维环境下的局部可预测性AI 解读

We propose a time series forecasting method designed to effectively handle large sets of predictive signals, many of which may be irrelevant or short-lived over time. Our method transforms predictive signals into candidate density forecasts via time-varying coefficient models, and subsequently combines them into an aggregate density forecast via time-varying subset combination. The approach is computationally efficient because it uses online prediction and updating. Through…

同质结构下的面板分位数 GARCH 模型AI 解读

Empirical evidence indicates that the estimates of GARCH parameters cluster in a panel of financial assets, potentially due to assets with similar exposure to common market risks. To capture the subgroup effect on conditional quantiles of financial asset returns and improve estimation efficiency by pooling information across individuals within the same group, this article introduces the panel quantile GARCH model with homogeneous structures in the coefficient functions. A…

时间聚合对 MIDAS 回归的影响AI 解读

Time series used in practice are often temporal aggregates. A MIDAS regression model may be fitted wrongly assuming the independent variables are not aggregated when in fact they are. We derive the correct model’s specification under temporal aggregation of the independent variables, thus identifying the correct number of dynamic terms and the order of the MA component. We also show that these depend on the frequency of the variables and the aggregation order used. As a…

隐含波动率预测中的神经切线核：非线性函数自回归方法AI 解读

Forecasting implied volatility across different levels of moneyness and maturity is crucial yet challenging due to the high dimensionality of the Implied Volatility Surface (IVS) and the nonlinearity that characterizes its temporal dependence. We adopt a Nonlinear Functional Autoregressive (NFAR) framework to a sequence of IVS and employ neural networks that admit a Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK) parameterization to capture nonlinear interactions between surfaces. We illustrate…

具有网络关联固定效应的动态面板分位数回归AI 解读

This paper introduces a dynamic panel data quantile regression model with network-linked fixed effects, named DQR-NFE, in which unobserved individual heterogeneity is structured through an underlying network. The corresponding estimator is derived by incorporating a quantile network cohesion (QNC) penalty into the dynamic panel quantile regression framework. This penalty encourages connected units within the network to exhibit similar conditional quantiles, with a…

利用快速模型置信集开展大规模模型比较AI 解读

The paper proposes a new algorithm for finding the confidence set of a collection of forecasts or prediction models. Existing numerical implementations use an elimination approach, where one starts with the full collection of models and successively eliminates the worst performing until the null of equal predictive ability is no longer rejected at a given confidence level. The intuition behind the proposed implementation lies in reversing the process, i.e. starting with a…

检验预测效率的工具变量方法AI 解读

ABSTRACT We study a specific form of forecast efficiency that requires forecast errors to be unpredictable from forecast revisions. One approach aggregates forecasts and estimates an aggregated efficiency regression, while another estimates the relationship by running separate regressions for each individual and then aggregating. We demonstrate that both estimators can be asymptotically biased in the presence of public noise. To address these biases, we propose instrumenting…

信念更新中的推断与预测差距AI 解读

Evidence from the laboratory and the field has uncovered both underreaction and overreaction to new information. We provide new experimental evidence on the underlying mechanisms of under‐ and overreaction by comparing how people make inferences and revise forecasts in the same information environment. Participants underreact to signals when inferring about underlying states, but overreact to the same signals when revising forecasts about future outcomes—a phenomenon we term…

线性面板模型中固定效应的最优收缩估计AI 解读

Shrinkage methods are frequently used to improve the precision of least squares estimators of fixed effects. However, widely used shrinkage estimators guarantee improved precision only under strong distributional assumptions. I develop an estimator for the fixed effects that obtains the best possible mean squared error within a class of shrinkage estimators. This class includes conventional shrinkage estimators and the optimality does not require distributional assumptions.…

测量通胀预期：回答量表如何塑造密度预测AI 解读

In density forecasts, respondents are asked to assign probabilities to a response scale with pre‐specified ranges of inflation. In two large‐scale experiments, one conducted in the US and one in Germany, we show how the specifics of the response scale determine the results: Shifting, compressing, or expanding the scale leads to shifted, compressed, and expanded forecasts. Quantifying this effect using the scale most widely used among central banks, we find that mean…

面板数据预测：估计不确定性与参数异质性AI 解读

We provide a comprehensive examination of the predictive accuracy of panel forecasting methods based on individual, pooling, fixed effects, and empirical Bayes estimation, and propose optimal weights for forecast combination schemes. We consider linear panel data models, allowing for weakly exogenous regressors and correlated heterogeneity. We quantify the gains from exploiting panel data and demonstrate how forecasting performance depends on the degree of parameter…

低噪声动态因子模型中 EM 算法的缓慢收敛AI 解读

ABSTRACT This paper addresses the slow convergence of the expectation–maximization (EM) algorithm in the estimation of low‐noise dynamic factor models, commonly used in macroeconomic nowcasting and forecasting. We show analytically and in Monte Carlo simulations how the EM algorithm stagnates in a low‐noise environment, leading to inaccurate estimates of factor loadings and factor realizations. An adaptive version of EM considerably speeds up convergence, producing…

概率预测的尾部校准AI 解读

Probabilistic forecasts comprehensively describe the uncertainty in the unknown future outcome, making them essential for decision making and risk management. While several methods have been introduced to evaluate probabilistic forecasts, existing evaluation techniques are ill-suited to the evaluation of tail properties of such forecasts. However, these tail properties are often of particular interest to forecast users due to the severe impacts caused by extreme outcomes. In…
