未知单整阶数的分数系统非参数协整分析AI 解读

In this paper a nonparametric variance ratio testing approach is proposed for determining the cointegration rank in fractionally integrated systems. The test statistic is easily calculated without prior knowledge of the integration order of the data, the strength of the cointegrating relations, or the cointegration vector(s). The latter property makes it easier to implement than regression-based approaches, especially when examining relationships between several variables…

可忽略性下多值处理效应的有效半参数估计AI 解读

This paper studies the efficient estimation of a large class of multi-valued treatment effects as implicitly defined by a collection of possibly over-identified non-smooth moment conditions when the treatment assignment is assumed to be ignorable. Two estimators are introduced together with a set of sufficient conditions that ensure their -consistency, asymptotic normality and efficiency. Under mild assumptions, these conditions are satisfied for the Marginal Mean Treatment…

时间序列模型设定的渐近分布无关检验AI 解读

We consider a class of time series specification tests based on quadratic forms of weighted sums of residuals autocorrelations. Asymptotically distribution-free tests in the presence of estimated parameters are obtained by suitably transforming the weights, which can be optimally chosen to maximize the power function when testing in the direction of local alternatives. We discuss in detail an asymptotically optimal distribution-free alternative to the popular Box-Pierce when…

广义非参数反卷积及其在收入动态中的应用AI 解读

In this paper, we construct a non-parametric estimator of the distributions of latent factors in linear independent multi-factor models under the assumption that factor loadings are known. Our approach allows estimation of the distributions of up to L(L+ 1)/2 factors given L measurements. The estimator uses empirical characteristic functions, like many available deconvolution estimators. We show that it is consistent, and derive asymptotic convergence rates. Monte Carlo…

序列相关检验：广义Andrews–Ploberger检验AI 解读

This paper considers testing the null hypothesis that a times series is uncorrelated when the time series is uncorrelated but statistically dependent. This case is of interest in economic and finance applications. The GARCH(1, 1) model is a leading example of a model that generates serially uncorrelated but statistically dependent data. The tests of serial correlation introduced by Andrews and Ploberger (1996, hereafter AP) are generalized for the purpose of testing the…

违约率估计与专家信息AI 解读

Default is a rare event, even in segments in the midrange of a bank’s portfolio. Inference about default rates is essential for risk management and for compliance with the requirements of Basel II. Most commercial loans are in the middle-risk categories and are to unrated companies. Expert information is crucial in inference about defaults. A Bayesian approach is proposed and illustrated using a prior distribution assessed from an industry expert. The binomial model, most…

时间序列条件方差的半参数估计量AI 解读

We propose a new combined semiparametric estimator, which incorporates the parametric and nonparametric estimators of the conditional variance in a multiplicative way. We derive the asymptotic bias, variance, and normality of the combined estimator under general conditions. We show that under correct parametric specification, our estimator can do as well as the parametric estimator in terms of convergence rates; whereas under parametric misspecification our estimator can…

重新审视动态离散决策过程的识别：退休行为应用AI 解读

This article deals with the estimation of behavioral and welfare effects of counterfactual policy interventions using dynamic structural models where all the primitive functions are nonparametrically specified (i.e., preferences, technology, transition rules, and distribution of unobserved variables). It proves the nonparametric identification of agents’ decision rules, before and after the policy intervention, and of the change in agents’ welfare. Based on these results, I…

股票市场收益指数波动率的长记忆与水平突变AI 解读

There has been interest in the possibility of confusing long memory and structural changes in level, and studies showed that when a short-memory process is contaminated by level shifts the estimate of the fractional differencing parameter is biased upward and the autocovariances decay slowly. We analyze the properties of the autocorrelation function, the periodogram, and the log periodogram estimate of the memory parameter when the level shift component is a mixture model.…

渐近尺寸：子抽样与 m out of n Bootstrap 的问题AI 解读

This paper considers inference based on a test statistic that has a limit distribution that is discontinuous in a parameter. The paper shows that subsampling and m out of n bootstrap tests based on such a test statistic often have asymptotic size—defined as the limit of exact size—that is greater than the nominal level of the tests. This is due to a lack of uniformity in the pointwise asymptotics. We determine precisely the asymptotic size of such tests under a general set…

扩散模型的重加权函数估计AI 解读

The local linear method is popular in estimating nonparametric continuous-time diffusion models, but it may produce negative results for the diffusion (or volatility) functions and thus lead to insensible inference. We demonstrate this using U.S. interest rate data. We propose a new functional estimation method of the diffusion coefficient based on reweighting the conventional Nadaraya–Watson estimator. It preserves the appealing bias properties of the local linear estimator…

未知均值与时间趋势下的分数单整精确局部 Whittle 估计AI 解读

Recently, Shimotsu and Phillips (2005, Annals of Statistics 33, 1890–1933) developed a new semiparametric estimator, the exact local Whittle (ELW) estimator, of the memory parameter ( d ) in fractionally integrated processes. The ELW estimator has been shown to be consistent, and it has the same $N(0,{\textstyle{1 \over 4}})$ asymptotic distribution for all values of d , if the optimization covers an interval of width less than 9/2 and the mean of the process is known. With…

非正态误差分布下的多工具变量渐近近似AI 解读

In this paper we derive an alternative asymptotic approximation to the sampling distribution of the limited information maximum likelihood estimator and a bias-corrected version of the two-stage least squares estimator. The approximation is obtained by allowing the number of instruments and the concentration parameter to grow at the same rate as the sample size. More specifically, we allow for potentially nonnormal error distributions and obtain the conventional asymptotic…

条件分位数时间序列模型的半参数效率界AI 解读

We derive the semiparametric efficiency bound in dynamic models of conditional quantiles under a sole strong mixing assumption. We also provide an expression of Stein’s (1956) least favorable parametric submodel. Our approach is as follows: First, we construct a fully parametric submodel of the semiparametric model defined by the conditional quantile restriction that contains the data generating process. We then compare the asymptotic covariance matrix of the MLE obtained in…

Itô 半鞅二次变差跳跃部分的推断AI 解读

Recent research has focused on modeling asset prices by Itô semimartingales. In such a modeling framework, the quadratic variation consists of a continuous and a jump component. This paper is about inference on the jump part of the quadratic variation, which can be estimated by the difference of realized variance and realized multipower variation. The main contribution of this paper is twofold. First, it provides a bivariate asymptotic limit theory for realized variance and…

同时含时间与个体固定效应的空间动态面板模型AI 解读

This paper establishes asymptotic properties of quasi-maximum likelihood estimators for spatial dynamic panel data with both time and individual fixed effects when the number of individuals n and the number of time periods T can be large. We propose a data transformation approach to eliminate the time effects. When n / T → 0, the estimators are $\root \of {nT}$ consistent and asymptotically centered normal; when n is asymptotically proportional to T , they are $\root \of {nT}$…

Hausman 预检验对假设检验渐近尺寸的影响AI 解读

This paper investigates the asymptotic size properties of a two-stage test in the linear instrumental variables model when in the first stage a Hausman (1978) specification test is used as a pretest of exogeneity of a regressor. In the second stage, a simple hypothesis about a component of the structural parameter vector is tested, using a t -statistic that is based on either the ordinary least squares (OLS) or the two-stage least squares estimator (2SLS), depending on the…

回归导数的多峰性检验及其在非参数增长回归中的应用AI 解读

Abstract This paper presents a method to test for multimodality of an estimated kernel density of derivative estimates from a nonparametric regression. The test is included in a study of nonparametric growth regressions. The results show that in the estimation of unconditional β‐convergence the distribution of the partial effects is multimodal, with one mode in the negative region (primarily OECD economies) and possibly two modes in the positive region (primarily non‐OECD…

稳健的无模型多类别概率估计AI 解读

Classical statistical approaches for multiclass probability estimation are typically based on regression techniques such as multiple logistic regression, or density estimation approaches such as linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA). These methods often make certain assumptions on the form of probability functions or on the underlying distributions of subclasses. In this article, we develop a model-free procedure to estimate multiclass…

加权距离加权判别及其渐近性质AI 解读

While Distance Weighted Discrimination (DWD) is an appealing approach to classification in high dimensions, it was designed for balanced datasets. In the case of unequal costs, biased sampling, or unbalanced data, there are major improvements available, using appropriately weighted versions of DWD (wDWD). A major contribution of this paper is the development of optimal weighting schemes for various nonstandard classification problems. In addition, we discuss several…

生存模型的降维与半参数估计AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a new dimension reduction method by introducing a nominal regression model with the hazard function as the conditional mean, which naturally retrieves information from complete data and censored data as well. Moreover, without requiring the linearity condition, the new method can estimate the entire central subspace consistently and exhaustively. The method also provides an alternative approach for the analysis of censored data assuming neither the…

利用高崩溃点估计量检测多元异常值AI 解读

In this paper we develop multivariate outlier tests based on the high-breakdown Minimum Covariance Determinant estimator. The rules that we propose have good performance under the null hypothesis of no outliers in the data and also appreciable power properties for the purpose of individual outlier detection. This achievement is made possible by two orders of improvement over the currently available methodology. First, we suggest an approximation to the exact distribution of…

相依野生自助法AI 解读

We propose a new resampling procedure, the dependent wild bootstrap, for stationary time series. As a natural extension of the traditional wild bootstrap to time series setting, the dependent wild bootstrap offers a viable alternative to the existing block-based bootstrap methods, whose properties have been extensively studied over the last two decades. Unlike all of the block-based bootstrap methods, the dependent wild bootstrap can be easily extended to irregularly spaced…

线性模型的替代拟合优度检验AI 解读

Fan and Huang (2001) presented a goodness-of-fit test for linear models based on Fourier transformations of the residuals of the fitted model. We present two more theoretically appealing tests in which the Fourier transforms are incorporated into a fitted model. We show that when suitably normalized, the new test statistics have the same asymptotic distribution as Fan and Huang’s test. We propose modifications to the asymptotic normalization constants to improve the small…
