高维贝叶斯有向无环图模型的后验图选择与估计一致性AI 解读

Covariance estimation and selection for high-dimensional multivariate datasets is a fundamental problem in modern statistics. Gaussian directed acyclic graph (DAG) models are a popular class of models used for this purpose. Gaussian DAG models introduce sparsity in the Cholesky factor of the inverse covariance matrix, and the sparsity pattern in turn corresponds to specific conditional independence assumptions on the underlying variables. A variety of priors have been…

Stiefel 流形上的统计：理论与应用AI 解读

A Stiefel manifold of the compact type is often encountered in many fields of engineering including, signal and image processing, machine learning, numerical optimization and others. The Stiefel manifold is a Riemannian homogeneous space but not a symmetric space. In previous work, researchers have defined probability distributions on symmetric spaces and performed statistical analysis of data residing in these spaces. In this paper, we present original work involving…

高维因子模型中时变载荷的一致估计AI 解读

In this paper, we develop a two-step maximum likelihood estimator of time-varying loadings in high-dimensional factor models. We specify the loadings to evolve as stationary vector autoregressions (VAR) and show that consistent estimates of the loadings parameters can be obtained. In the first step, principal components are extracted from the data to form factor estimates. In the second step, the parameters of the loadings VARs are estimated as a set of linear regression…

高维向量误差修正模型的确定AI 解读

We provide a shrinkage type methodology which allows for simultaneous model selection and estimation of vector error correction models (VECM) when the dimension is large and can increase with sample size. Model determination is treated as a joint selection problem of cointegrating rank and autoregressive lags under respective practically valid sparsity assumptions. We show consistency of the selection mechanism by the resulting Lasso-VECM estimator under very general…

大样本相关矩阵正则化的多重检验方法AI 解读

This paper proposes a regularisation method for the estimation of large covariance matrices that uses insights from the multiple testing (MT) literature. The approach tests the statistical significance of individual pair-wise correlations and sets to zero those elements that are not statistically significant, taking account of the multiple testing nature of the problem. The effective p-values of the tests are set as a decreasing function of N (the cross section dimension),…

用于处理比较的倾向得分惩罚样条方法AI 解读

Valid causal inference from observational studies requires controlling for confounders. When time-dependent confounders are present that serve as mediators of treatment effects and affect future treatment assignment, standard regression methods for controlling for confounders fail. Similar issues also arise in trials with sequential randomization, when randomization at later time points is based on intermediate outcomes from earlier randomized assignments. We propose a…

高维线性模型中遗传关联性的最优估计AI 解读

Estimating the genetic relatedness between two traits based on the genome-wide association data is an important problem in genetics research. In the framework of high-dimensional linear models, we introduce two measures of genetic relatedness and develop optimal estimators for them. One is genetic covariance, which is defined to be the inner product of the two regression vectors, and another is genetic correlation, which is a normalized inner product by their lengths. We…

多元凸回归及其变体的计算框架AI 解读

We study the nonparametric least squares estimator (LSE) of a multivariate convex regression function. The LSE, given as the solution to a quadratic program with O(n2) linear constraints (n being the sample size), is difficult to compute for large problems. Exploiting problem specific structure, we propose a scalable algorithmic framework based on the augmented Lagrangian method to compute the LSE. We develop a novel approach to obtain smooth convex approximations to the…

函数型图模型AI 解读

Graphical models have attracted increasing attention in recent years, especially in settings involving high-dimensional data. In particular, Gaussian graphical models are used to model the conditional dependence structure among multiple Gaussian random variables. As a result of its computational efficiency, the graphical lasso (glasso) has become one of the most popular approaches for fitting high-dimensional graphical models. In this paper, we extend the graphical models…

治疗选择下的存活遵从者效应：及时入住重症监护室的应用AI 解读

Pretreatment selection or censoring (“selection on treatment”) can occur when two treatment levels are compared ignoring the third option of neither treatment, in “censoring by death” settings where treatment is only defined for those who survive long enough to receive it, or in general in studies where the treatment is only defined for a subset of the population. Unfortunately, the standard instrumental variable (IV) estimand is not defined in the presence of such…

多元时间序列的自适应贝叶斯时频分析AI 解读

This article introduces a nonparametric approach to multivariate time-varying power spectrum analysis. The procedure adaptively partitions a time series into an unknown number of approximately stationary segments, where some spectral components may remain unchanged across segments, allowing components to evolve differently over time. Local spectra within segments are fit through Whittle likelihood based penalized spline models of modified Cholesky components, which provide…

惩罚高斯随机场复杂度的先验构造AI 解读

Priors are important for achieving proper posteriors with physically meaningful covariance structures for Gaussian random fields (GRFs) since the likelihood typically only provides limited information about the covariance structure under in-fill asymptotics. We extend the recent penalized complexity prior framework and develop a principled joint prior for the range and the marginal variance of one-dimensional, two-dimensional, and three-dimensional Matérn GRFs with fixed…

删失无偏回归树与集成学习AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel paradigm for building regression trees and ensemble learning in survival analysis. Generalizations of the CART and Random Forests algorithms for general loss functions, and in the latter case more general bootstrap procedures, are both introduced. These results, in combination with an extension of the theory of censoring unbiased transformations applicable to loss functions, underpin the development of two new classes of algorithms for…

逻辑回归与一般指数模型的稳健变量及交互项选择AI 解读

Under the logistic regression framework, we propose a forward-backward method, SODA, for variable selection with both main and quadratic interaction terms. In the forward stage, SODA adds in predictors that have significant overall effects, whereas in the backward stage SODA removes unimportant terms to optimize the extended Bayesian Information Criterion (EBIC). Compared with existing methods for variable selection in quadratic discriminant analysis, SODA can deal with…

结合协变量信息的矩阵补全AI 解读

This article investigates the problem of matrix completion from the corrupted data, when the additional covariates are available. Despite being seldomly considered in the matrix completion literature, these covariates often provide valuable information for completing the unobserved entries of the high-dimensional target matrix A0. Given a covariate matrix X with its rows representing the row covariates of A0, we consider a column-space-decomposition model A0 = Xβ0 + B0,…

存在异常值时的变点检测AI 解读

Many traditional methods for identifying changepoints can struggle in the presence of outliers, or when the noise is heavy-tailed. Often they will infer additional changepoints to fit the outliers. To overcome this problem, data often needs to be preprocessed to remove outliers, though this is difficult for applications where the data needs to be analyzed online. We present an approach to changepoint detection that is robust to the presence of outliers. The idea is to adapt…

基于折叠凹惩罚回归的高维宏观预测与变量选择AI 解读

Summary This study examines high-dimensional forecasting and variable selection via folded-concave penalized regressions. The penalized regression approach leads to sparse estimates of the regression coefficients and allows the dimensionality of the model to be much larger than the sample size. First, we discuss the theoretical aspects of a penalized regression in a time series setting. Specifically, we show the oracle inequality with ultra-high-dimensional time-dependent…

矩阵值高维时间序列的因子模型AI 解读

In finance, economics and many other fields, observations in a matrix form are often observed over time. For example, many economic indicators are obtained in different countries over time. Various financial characteristics of many companies are reported over time. Although it is natural to turn a matrix observation into a long vector then use standard vector time series models or factor analysis, it is often the case that the columns and rows of a matrix represent different…

带状时空自回归模型AI 解读

We propose a new class of spatio-temporal models with unknown and banded autoregressive coefficient matrices. The setting represents a sparse structure for high-dimensional spatial panel dynamic models when panel members represent economic (or other type) individuals at many different locations. The structure is practically meaningful when the order of panel members is arranged appropriately. Note that the implied autocovariance matrices are unlikely to be banded, and…

基于高频观测的高维因子建模AI 解读

This paper develops a statistical theory to estimate an unknown factor structure based on financial high-frequency data. We derive an estimator for the number of factors and consistent and asymptotically mixed-normal estimators of the loadings and factors under the assumption of a large number of cross-sectional and high-frequency observations. The estimation approach can separate factors for continuous and rare jump risk. The estimators for the loadings and factors are…

高维选择中的群体差异测度：方法及国会演讲应用AI 解读

We study the problem of measuring group differences in choices when the dimensionality of the choice set is large. We show that standard approaches suffer from a severe finite‐sample bias, and we propose an estimator that applies recent advances in machine learning to address this bias. We apply this method to measure trends in the partisanship of congressional speech from 1873 to 2016, defining partisanship to be the ease with which an observer could infer a…

高维检验问题中的功效AI 解读

Fan, Liao, and Yao (2015) recently introduced a remarkable method for increasing the asymptotic power of tests in high‐dimensional testing problems. If applicable to a given test, their power enhancement principle leads to an improved test that has the same asymptotic size, has uniformly non‐inferior asymptotic power, and is consistent against a strictly broader range of alternatives than the initially given test. We study under which conditions this method can be applied…
