广义线性混合模型的惩罚拟似然信息准则AI 解读

Summary Information criteria are commonly used for joint fixed and random effects selection in mixed models. While information criteria are straightforward to implement, a major difficulty in applying them is that they are typically based on maximum likelihood estimates, but calculating such estimates for one candidate mixed model, let alone multiple models, presents a major computational challenge. To overcome this hurdle, we study penalized quasilikelihood estimation and…

泊松降秩模型及其在政治文本数据中的应用AI 解读

Summary We discuss Poisson reduced-rank models for low-dimensional summaries of high-dimensional Poisson vectors that allow inference on the location of individuals in a low-dimensional space. We show that under weak dependence conditions, which allow for certain correlations between the Poisson random variables, the locations can be consistently estimated using Poisson maximum likelihood estimation. Moreover, we develop consistent rules for determining the dimension of the…

主观预期下的动态决策：结构分析AI 解读

We study dynamic discrete choice models without assuming rational expectations. Agents’ beliefs about state transitions are subjective, unknown, and may differ from their objective counterparts. We show that agents’ preferences and subjective beliefs are identified in both finite and infinite horizon models. We estimate the model primitives via maximum likelihood estimation and demonstrate the good performance of the estimator by Monte Carlo experiments. Using the Panel…

基于已实现GARCH–Itô模型的波动率分析AI 解读

This paper introduces a unified approach for modeling high-frequency financial data that can accommodate both the continuous-time jump–diffusion and discrete-time realized GARCH model by embedding the discrete realized GARCH structure in the continuous instantaneous volatility process. The key feature of the proposed model is that the corresponding conditional daily integrated volatility adopts an autoregressive structure, where both integrated volatility and jump variation…

多变量半非参数GARCH滤波Copula模型的有效估计AI 解读

This paper considers estimation of semi-nonparametric GARCH filtered copula models in which the individual time series are modeled by semi-nonparametric GARCH and the joint distributions of the multivariate standardized innovations are characterized by parametric copulas with nonparametric marginal distributions. The models extend those of Chen and Fan (2006) to allow for semi-nonparametric conditional means and volatilities, which are estimated via the method of sieves. The…

带正则化的最大线性回归模型AI 解读

Motivated by the newly developed max-linear competing copula factor models and max-stable nonlinear time series models, we propose a new class of max-linear regression models to take advantages of easy interpretable features embedded in linear regression models. It can be seen that linear relation is a special case of max-linear relation. We develop an EM algorithm based maximum likelihood estimation procedure. The consistency and asymptotics of the estimators for parameters…

随机系数多项 Logit 模型中的惩罚似然参数选择AI 解读

This paper is about estimating a random coefficients logit model in which the distribution of each coefficient is characterized by finitely many parameters, some of which may be zero. The paper gives conditions under which, with probability approaching 1 as the sample size increases, penalized maximum likelihood (PML) estimation with the adaptive LASSO (AL) penalty distinguishes correctly between zero and non-zero parameters. The paper also gives conditions under which PML…

通过自适应 LASSO 推断非二叉系统发育树AI 解读

Phylogenetic tree inference using deep DNA sequencing is reshaping our understanding of rapidly evolving systems, such as the within-host battle between viruses and the immune system. Densely sampled phylogenetic trees can contain special features, including sampled ancestors in which we sequence a genotype along with its direct descendants, and polytomies in which multiple descendants arise simultaneously. These features are apparent after identifying zero-length branches…

聚类数据的分组异质混合建模AI 解读

Clustered data are ubiquitous in a variety of scientific fields. In this article, we propose a flexible and interpretable modeling approach, called grouped heterogeneous mixture modeling, for clustered data, which models cluster-wise conditional distributions by mixtures of latent conditional distributions common to all the clusters. In the model, we assume that clusters are divided into a finite number of groups and mixing proportions are the same within the same group. We…

高维相关数据分析的分布式整合矩方法AI 解读

This paper is motivated by a regression analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) neuroimaging data with high-dimensional correlated responses with multi-level nested correlations. We develop a divide-and-conquer procedure implemented in a fully distributed and parallelized computational scheme for statistical estimation and inference of regression parameters. Despite significant efforts in the literature, the computational bottleneck associated with high-dimensional…

具有方差线性风险溢价的指数型 GARCH 模型AI 解读

One of the implications of the intertemporal capital asset pricing model is that the risk premium of the market portfolio is a linear function of its variance. Yet, estimation theory of classical GARCH-in-mean models with linear-in-variance risk premium requires strong assumptions and is incomplete. We show that exponential-type GARCH models such as EGARCH or Log-GARCH are more natural in dealing with linear-in-variance risk premia. For the popular and more difficult case of…

单变量响应广义线性模型中的自适应 Wynn 算法AI 解读

For a nonlinear regression model, the information matrices of designs depend on the parameter of the model. The adaptive Wynn algorithm for D-optimal design estimates the parameter at each step on the basis of the observed responses and employed design points so far, and selects the next design point as in the classical Wynn algorithm for D-optimal design. The name “Wynn algorithm” is in honor of Henry P. Wynn who established the latter “classical” algorithm in his 1970…

利用对称性与形状约束的高维非参数密度估计AI 解读

We tackle the problem of high-dimensional nonparametric density estimation by taking the class of log-concave densities on Rp and incorporating within it symmetry assumptions, which facilitate scalable estimation algorithms and can mitigate the curse of dimensionality. Our main symmetry assumption is that the super-level sets of the density are K-homothetic (i.e., scalar multiples of a convex body K⊆Rp). When K is known, we prove that the K-homothetic log-concave maximum…

重新审视中国FDI区位：异质冲击面板方法AI 解读

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is viewed as a primary driving force in shaping the global economy and receives particular attention in empirical studies. In this paper, we argue that many of the existing studies ignore endogeneities that arise from shocks in source and destination countries. To address this endogeneity issue, we take the “controlling through estimating” idea from the econometric literature and propose using panel data models with heterogeneous shocks to…

条件随机排序与均值排序一致的计数和持续时间序列AI 解读

We consider a positive-valued time series whose conditional distribution has a time-varying mean, which may depend on exogenous variables. The main applications concern count or duration data. Under a contraction condition on the mean function, it is shown that stationarity and ergodicity hold when the mean and stochastic orders of the conditional distribution are the same. The latter condition holds for the exponential family parametrized by the mean, but also for many…

二项响应广义线性模型中的 Jeffreys 先验惩罚、有限性与收缩AI 解读

Summary Penalization of the likelihood by Jeffreys’ invariant prior, or a positive power thereof, is shown to produce finite-valued maximum penalized likelihood estimates in a broad class of binomial generalized linear models. The class of models includes logistic regression, where the Jeffreys-prior penalty is known additionally to reduce the asymptotic bias of the maximum likelihood estimator, and models with other commonly used link functions, such as probit and log-log.…

多元整数值时间序列的层级马尔可夫转换模型AI 解读

We propose a new flexible dynamic model for multivariate nonnegative integer-valued time-series. Observations are assumed to depend on the realization of two unobserved integer-valued stochastic variables which control for the time- and cross-dependence of the data. We provide conditional and unconditional (cross)-moments implied by the model, as well as the limiting distribution of the series. An Expectation–Maximization algorithm for maximum likelihood estimation of the…

多元对数凹密度估计的自适应性AI 解读

We study the adaptation properties of the multivariate log-concave maximum likelihood estimator over three subclasses of log-concave densities. The first consists of densities with polyhedral support whose logarithms are piecewise affine. The complexity of such densities $f$ can be measured in terms of the sum $\Gamma(f)$ of the numbers of facets of the subdomains in the polyhedral subdivision of the support induced by $f$. Given $n$ independent observations from a $d$-dimens…

非高斯结构向量自回归的 GMM 估计AI 解读

We consider estimation of the structural vector autoregression (SVAR) by the generalized method of moments (GMM). Given non-Gaussian errors and a suitable set of moment conditions, the GMM estimator is shown to achieve local identification of the structural shocks. The optimal set of moment conditions can be found by well-known moment selection criteria. Compared to recent alternatives, our approach has the advantage that the structural shocks need not be mutually…

异质系数空间模型的估计与推断：美国房价应用AI 解读

Summary This paper considers the estimation and inference of spatial panel data models with heterogeneous spatial lag coefficients, with and without weakly exogenous regressors, and subject to heteroskedastic errors. A quasi maximum likelihood (QML) estimation procedure is developed and the conditions for identification of the spatial coefficients are derived. The QML estimators of individual spatial coefficients, as well as their mean group estimators, are shown to be…

发达经济体重大产品与劳动力市场改革的稳健相关因素：Logit 模型的 BAMLE 证据AI 解读

Summary The political economy literature has put forward a multitude of hypotheses regarding the drivers of structural reforms, but few, if any, empirically robust findings have emerged thus far. To make progress, we draw a parallel with model uncertainty in the growth literature and provide a new version of the Bayesian averaging of maximum likelihood estimates (BAMLE) technique tailored to binary logit models. Relying on a new database of major past labor and product…

分位数回归模型因变量中的测量误差AI 解读

We study the consequences of measurement error in the dependent variable of random‐coefficients models, focusing on the particular case of quantile regression. The popular quantile regression estimator of Koenker and Bassett (1978) is biased if there is an additive error term. Approaching this problem as an errors‐in‐variables problem where the dependent variable suffers from classical measurement error, we present a sieve maximum likelihood approach that is robust to…

非高斯极大似然估计量的模型设定检验AI 解读

We propose generalized DWH specification tests which simultaneously compare three or more likelihood‐based estimators in multivariate conditionally heteroskedastic dynamic regression models. Our tests are useful for Garch models and in many empirically relevant macro and finance applications involving Var s and multivariate regressions. We determine the rank of the differences between the estimators' asymptotic covariance matrices under correct specification, and take into…

离散化滤波器：非线性状态空间模型的简便估计方法AI 解读

Existing methods for estimating nonlinear dynamic models are either highly computationally costly or rely on local approximations which often fail adequately to capture the nonlinear features of interest. I develop a new method, the discretization filter, for approximating the likelihood of nonlinear, non‐Gaussian state space models. I establish that the associated maximum likelihood estimator is strongly consistent, asymptotically normal, and asymptotically efficient.…
