利用高频数据估计含跳跃的连续时间随机波动率模型AI 解读

This paper proposes a method of inference for general stochastic volatility models containing price jumps. The estimation is based on treating realized multipower variation statistics calculated from high-frequency data as their unobservable (fill-in) asymptotic limits. The paper provides easy-to-check conditions under which the error in estimation resulting from this approximation is op(1) and additional ones under which it is , where T is the number of days in the sample.…

非平稳时间序列的函数系数模型AI 解读

This paper studies functional coefficient regression models with nonstationary time series data, allowing also for stationary covariates. A local linear fitting scheme is developed to estimate the coefficient functions. The asymptotic distributions of the estimators are obtained, showing different convergence rates for the stationary and nonstationary covariates. A two-stage approach is proposed to achieve estimation optimality in the sense of minimizing the asymptotic mean…

基于模拟的竞争性结构计量模型选择AI 解读

This paper proposes a formal model selection test for choosing between two competing structural econometric models. The procedure is based on a novel lack-of-fit criterion, namely, the simulated mean squared error of predictions (SMSEP), taking into account the complexity of structural econometric models. It is asymptotically valid for any fixed number of simulations, and allows for any estimator which has a asymptotic normality or is n[alpha]-consistent for [alpha]>1/2. The…

Lasso 型广义矩估计量AI 解读

This paper proposes the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator–type (Lasso-type) generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator. This Lasso-type estimator is formed by the GMM objective function with the addition of a penalty term. The exponent of the penalty term in the regular Lasso estimator is equal to one. However, the exponent of the penalty term in the Lasso-type estimator is less than one in the analysis here. The magnitude of the exponent is reduced to avoid…

预先调整确定性项的系统协整检验自助法AI 解读

In this paper we analyze bootstrap procedures for systems cointegration tests with a prior adjustment for deterministic terms suggested by Saikkonen et al. (2006, Econometric Theory 22, 15–68) and Saikkonen and Lütkepohl (2000, Journal of Time Series Analysis 21, 435–456). The asymptotic properties of the bootstrap test procedures are derived, and their small-sample properties are studied. The simulation study also considers the standard asymptotic test versions and the…

两个平稳时间序列独立性的广义综合检验AI 解读

We propose generalized portmanteau-type test statistics in the frequency domain to test independence between two stationary time series. The test statistics are formed analogous to the one in the paper by Chen and Deo (2004, Econometric Theory 20, 382–416), who extended the applicability of the portmanteau goodness-of-fit test to the long memory case. Under the null hypothesis of independence, the asymptotic standard normal distributions of the proposed statistics are…

综合设定检验局部功效不足的问题AI 解读

Designed to have power against all alternatives, omnibus consistent tests are the primary econometric tools for testing the correct specification of parametric conditional means when there is no information about the possible alternative. The main purpose of this paper is to show that, contrary to what is generally believed, omnibus specification tests only have substantial local power against alternatives in a finite-dimensional space (usually unknown to the researcher). We…

用灵活系数 GARCH(1,1) 模型刻画金融波动的多重状态AI 解读

In this paper a flexible multiple regime GARCH(1,1)-type model is developed to describe the sign and size asymmetries and intermittent dynamics in financial volatility. The results of the paper are important to other nonlinear GARCH models. The proposed model nests some of the previous specifications found in the literature and has the following advantages. First, contrary to most of the previous models, more than two limiting regimes are possible, and the number of regimes…

回归变量持续性未知时的协方差正交性检验AI 解读

This paper develops a new test of orthogonality based on a zero restriction on the covariance between the dependent variable and the predictor. The test provides a useful alternative to regression-based tests when conditioning variables have roots close or equal to unity. In this case standard predictive regression tests can suffer from well-documented size distortion. Moreover, under the alternative hypothesis, they force the dependent variable to share the same order of…

通过增加回归变量获得估计效率AI 解读

It is well known that in standard linear regression models with independent and identically distributed data and homoskedasticity, adding “irrelevant regressors” hurts (asymptotic) efficiency unless such irrelevant regressors are orthogonal to the remaining regressors. But we have found that under (conditional) heteroskedasticity “irrelevant regressors” can always be found such that one can achieve the asymptotic variance of the generalized least squares estimator by adding…

通过降维进行回归模型检验AI 解读

Lack-of-fit checking for parametric and semiparametric models is essential in reducing misspecification. The efficiency of most existing model-checking methods drops rapidly as the dimension of the covariates increases. We propose to check a model by projecting the fitted residuals along a direction that adapts to the systematic departure of the residuals from the desired pattern. Consistency of the method is proved for parametric and semiparametric regression models. A…

谱均值及比率统计量的置信区间AI 解读

We propose a new method, to construct confidence intervals for spectral mean and related ratio statistics of a stationary process, that avoids direct estimation of their asymptotic variances. By introducing a bandwidth, a self-normalization procedure is adopted and the distribution of the new statistic is asymptotically nuisance-parameter free. The bandwidth is chosen using information criteria and a moving average sieve approximation. Through a simulation study, we…

关于原因别剩余寿命的札记AI 解读

In medical research, investigators often wish to characterize the distributions of remaining lifetimes. While nonparametric analyses of residual life distributions have been widely studied with independently right-censored data, residual life analysis has not been examined in the competing risks setting, with multiple, potentially dependent, failure types. We define the cause-specific residual life distribution as the residual cumulative incidence function conditionally on…

空间极大值的成对依赖建模AI 解读

We model pairwise dependence of temporal maxima, such as annual maxima of precipitation, that have been recorded in space, either on a regular grid or at irregularly spaced locations. The construction of our estimators stems from the variogram concept. The asymptotic properties of our pairwise dependence estimators are established through properties of empirical processes. The performance of our approach is illustrated by simulations and by the treatment of a real dataset.…

非齐次空间点过程的快速分块方差估计AI 解读

We introduce two new variance estimation procedures that use non-overlapping and overlapping blocks, respectively. The non-overlapping blocks estimator can be viewed as the limit of the thinned block bootstrap estimator recently proposed in Guan Loh (2007), by letting the number of thinned processes and bootstrap samples therein both increase to infinity. The non-overlapping blocks estimator can be obtained quickly since it does not require any thinning or bootstrap steps,…

降低平滑参数选择中交叉验证的变异性AI 解读

One of the attractions of crossvalidation, as a tool for smoothing-parameter choice, is its applicability to a wide variety of estimator types and contexts. However, its detractors comment adversely on the relatively high variance of crossvalidatory smoothing parameters, noting that this compromises the performance of the estimators in which those parameters are used. We show that the variability can be reduced simply, significantly and reliably by employing bootstrap…

时域与频域中时间序列数据的渐消加权经验似然AI 解读

We investigate data tapering in two formulations of empirical likelihood for time series. One empirical likelihood is formed from tapered data blocks in the time domain and a second is based on the tapered periodogram in the frequency domain. Limiting distributions are provided for both empirical likelihood versions under tapering. Theoretical and simulation evidence indicates that a data taper improves the coverage accuracy of empirical likelihood confidence intervals for…

连续结局两阶段结局依赖抽样的半参数有效推断AI 解读

Outcome-dependent sampling designs have been shown to be a cost effective way to enhance study efficiency. We show that the outcome-dependent sampling design with a continuous outcome can be viewed as an extension of the two-stage case-control designs to the continuous-outcome case. We further show that the two-stage outcome-dependent sampling has a natural link with the missing-data and biased-sampling framework. Through the use of semiparametric inference and missing-data…

离散分布下的模糊族错误率与错误发现率控制程序AI 解读

Fuzzy multiple comparisons procedures are introduced as a solution to the problem of multiple comparisons for discrete test statistics. The critical function of the randomized p-values is proposed as a measure of evidence against the null hypotheses. The classical concept of randomized tests is extended to multiple comparisons. This approach makes all theory of multiple comparisons developed for continuously distributed statistics automatically applicable to the discrete…

通过密度估计开展贝叶斯非参数函数型数据分析AI 解读

In many modern experimental settings, observations are obtained in the form of functions, and interest focuses on inferences on a collection of such functions. We propose a hierarchical model that allows us to simultaneously estimate multiple curves nonparametrically by using dependent Dirichlet Process mixtures of Gaussians to characterize the joint distribution of predictors and outcomes. Function estimates are then induced through the conditional distribution of the…

Wilcoxon 型广义贝叶斯信息准则AI 解读

We develop a generalized Bayesian information criterion for regression model selection. The new criterion relaxes the usually strong distributional assumption associated with Schwarz's bic by adopting a Wilcoxon-type dispersion function and appropriately adjusting the penalty term. We establish that the Wilcoxon-type generalized bic preserves the consistency of Schwarz's bic without the need to assume a parametric likelihood. We also show that it outperforms Schwarz's bic…

指数倾斜混合模型的剖面似然札记AI 解读

Suppose that independent observations are drawn from multiple distributions, each of which is a mixture of two component distributions such that their log density ratio satisfies a linear model with a slope parameter and an intercept parameter. Inference for such models has been studied using empirical likelihood, and mixed results have been obtained. The profile empirical likelihood of the slope and intercept has an irregularity at the null hypothesis so that the two…

存在不依从的随机试验中因果效应的高效非参数估计AI 解读

Causal approaches based on the potential outcome framework provide a useful tool for addressing noncompliance problems in randomized trials. We propose a new estimator of causal treatment effects in randomized clinical trials with noncompliance. We use the empirical likelihood approach to construct a profile random sieve likelihood and take into account the mixture structure in outcome distributions, so that our estimator is robust to parametric distribution assumptions and…

部分观测亚椭圆扩散过程的参数估计AI 解读

Summary Hypoelliptic diffusion processes can be used to model a variety of phenomena in applications ranging from molecular dynamics to audio signal analysis. We study parameter estimation for such processes in situations where we observe some components of the solution at discrete times. Since exact likelihoods for the transition densities are typically not known, approximations are used that are expected to work well in the limit of small intersample times Δt and large…
