估计的 Wold 表示与谱密度驱动的时间序列自助法AI 解读

Summary The second-order dependence structure of purely non-deterministic stationary processes is described by the coefficients of the famous Wold representation. These coefficients can be obtained by factorizing the spectral density of the process. This relationship together with some spectral density estimator is used to obtain consistent estimators of these coefficients. A spectral-density-driven bootstrap for time series is then developed which uses the entire sequence…

离散持续时间结果的断点回归半非参数估计AI 解读

We consider the regression discontinuity (RD) design with the duration outcome which has discrete support. The parameters of policy interest are treatment effects on unconditional (duration effect) and conditional (hazard effect) exiting probabilities for each discrete level. We propose a novel semi-nonparametric estimator which exploits a flexible separability structure of the underlying continuous-time duration process. Simultaneous inference over discrete levels is…

资产收益积分协方差矩阵的非参数特征值正则化估计AI 解读

In high-frequency data analysis, the extreme eigenvalues of a realized covariance matrix are biased when its dimension p is large relative to the sample size n. Furthermore, with non-synchronous trading and contamination of microstructure noise, we propose a nonparametrically eigenvalue-regularized integrated covariance matrix estimator (NERIVE) which does not assume specific structures for the underlying integrated covariance matrix. We show that NERIVE is positive definite…

完全信息二元反应静态博弈中随机系数分布的非参数识别AI 解读

This paper studies binary response static games of complete information allowing complex heterogeneity through a random coefficients specification. The main result of the paper establishes nonparametric point identification of the joint density of all random coefficients except those on interaction effects. Under additional independence assumptions, we identify the joint density of the interaction coefficients. Moreover, we prove that in the presence of covariates that are…

半监督环境下高效且自适应的线性回归AI 解读

We consider the linear regression problem under semi-supervised settings wherein the available data typically consists of: (i) a small or moderate sized “labeled” data, and (ii) a much larger sized “unlabeled” data. Such data arises naturally from settings where the outcome, unlike the covariates, is expensive to obtain, a frequent scenario in modern studies involving large databases like electronic medical records (EMR). Supervised estimators like the ordinary least squares…

Lévy 驱动随机微分方程的跳跃过滤与有效漂移估计AI 解读

The problem of drift estimation for the solution $X$ of a stochastic differential equation with Lévy-type jumps is considered under discrete high-frequency observations with a growing observation window. An efficient and asymptotically normal estimator for the drift parameter is constructed under minimal conditions on the jump behavior and the sampling scheme. In the case of a bounded jump measure density, these conditions reduce to $n\Delta_{n}^{3-\varepsilon}\rightarrow 0$,…

We construct $\sqrt{n}$-consistent and asymptotically normal estimates for the finite dimensional regression parameter in the current status linear regression model, which do not require any smoothing device and are based on maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of the infinite dimensional parameter. We also construct estimates, again only based on these MLEs, which are arbitrarily close to efficient estimates, if the generalized Fisher information is finite. This type of…

尾过程推断及其在金融时间序列建模中的应用AI 解读

To draw inference on serial extremal dependence within heavy-tailed Markov chains, Drees et al., (2015) proposed nonparametric estimators of the spectral tail process. The methodology can be extended to the more general setting of a stationary, regularly varying time series. The large-sample distribution of the estimators is derived via empirical process theory for cluster functionals. The finite-sample performance of these estimators is evaluated via Monte Carlo…

因果推断与缺失数据问题中处理效应的稳健高效估计AI 解读

The Mann–Whitney statistic based on complete data only might be invalid if the outcome variables are missing due to certain covariates. In this paper, we used the probabilistic index modelling (Thas et al., 2012) to obtain a new Mann–Whitney statistic when missingness occurs in the outcomes but multiple explanatory variables are observable. Our method combined the efficiency of the model-based approach and the robustness of the nonparametric approach. It requires few model…

半参数多元模型驱动的投资组合 VaR 估计风险AI 解读

Joint estimation of market and estimation risks in portfolios is investigated, when the individual returns follow a semi-parametric multivariate dynamic model and the asset composition is time-varying. Under ellipticity of the conditional distribution, asymptotic theory for the estimation of the conditional Value-at-Risk (VaR) is developed. An alternative method – the Filtered Historical Simulation – which does not rely on ellipticity, is also studied. Asymptotic confidence…

日内周期模式足以解释波动率变化吗？一项非参数评估AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a nonparametric way to test the hypothesis that time-variation in intraday volatility is caused solely by a deterministic and recurrent diurnal pattern. We assume that noisy high-frequency data from a discretely sampled jump–diffusion process are available. The test is then based on asset returns, which are deflated by the seasonal component and therefore homoskedastic under the null. To construct our test statistic, we extend the concept of…

风险厌恶竞标者第一价格拍卖的非参数估计AI 解读

This paper proposes nonparametric estimators for the bidders’ utility function and density of private values in a first-price sealed-bid auction model with independent valuations. I study a setting with risk-averse bidders and adopt a fully nonparametric approach by not placing any restrictions on the shape of the utility function beyond regularity conditions. I propose a population criterion function that has a unique minimizer, which characterizes the utility function and…

多元扩散过程的函数估计AI 解读

We propose a nonparametric estimation theory for the occupation density, the drift vector, and the diffusion matrix of multivariate diffusion processes. The estimators are sample analogues to infinitesimal conditional expectations constructed as Nadaraya-Watson kernel averages. Mild assumptions are imposed on the statistical properties of the multivariate system to obtain limiting results. Harris recurrence is all that we require to show consistency and asymptotic (mixed)…

混合模型中的同质性检验AI 解读

Statistical models of unobserved heterogeneity are typically formalized as mixtures of simple parametric models and interest naturally focuses on testing for homogeneity versus general mixture alternatives. Many tests of this type can be interpreted as C ( α ) tests, as in Neyman (1959), and shown to be locally asymptotically optimal. These C ( α ) tests will be contrasted with a new approach to likelihood ratio testing for general mixture models. The latter tests are based…

基于特征函数与非参数回归的条件独立检验AI 解读

We propose a characteristic function based test for conditional independence, applicable to both cross-sectional and time series data. We also derive a class of derivative tests, which deliver model-free tests for such important hypotheses as omitted variables, Granger causality in various moments and conditional uncorrelatedness. The proposed tests have a convenient asymptotic null N (0, 1) distribution, and are asymptotically locally more powerful than a variety of related…

最大秩可重复性：评估重复实验可重复性的非参数方法AI 解读

The identification of reproducible signals from the results of replicate high-throughput experiments is an important part of modern biological research. Often little is known about the dependence structure and the marginal distribution of the data, motivating the development of a nonparametric approach to assess reproducibility. The procedure, which we call the maximum rank reproducibility (MaRR) procedure, uses a maximum rank statistic to parse reproducible signals from…

分布中持续趋势的建模AI 解读

We present a nonparametric framework to model a short sequence of probability distributions that vary both due to underlying effects of sequential progression and confounding noise. To distinguish between these two types of variation and estimate the sequential-progression effects, our approach leverages an assumption that these effects follow a persistent trend. This work is motivated by the recent rise of single-cell RNA-sequencing experiments over a brief time course,…

交互网络的边可交换模型AI 解读

Many modern network datasets arise from processes of interactions in a population, such as phone calls, email exchanges, co-authorships, and professional collaborations. In such interaction networks, the edges comprise the fundamental statistical units, making a framework for edge-labeled networks more appropriate for statistical analysis. In this context, we initiate the study of edge exchangeable network models and explore its basic statistical properties. Several…

再生核希尔伯特空间在函数型分类中的应用AI 解读

The Hájek–Feldman dichotomy establishes that two Gaussian measures are either mutually absolutely continuous with respect to each other (and hence there is a Radon–Nikodym density for each measure with respect to the other one) or mutually singular. Unlike the case of finite-dimensional Gaussian measures, there are nontrivial examples of both situations when dealing with Gaussian stochastic processes. This article provides: (a) Explicit expressions for the optimal (Bayes)…

多协变量与异方差线性回归模型中的推断AI 解读

The linear regression model is widely used in empirical work in economics, statistics, and many other disciplines. Researchers often include many covariates in their linear model specification in an attempt to control for confounders. We give inference methods that allow for many covariates and heteroscedasticity. Our results are obtained using high-dimensional approximations, where the number of included covariates is allowed to grow as fast as the sample size. We find that…

利用随机森林估计异质性处理效应并进行统计推断AI 解读

Many scientific and engineering challenges -- ranging from personalized medicine to customized marketing recommendations -- require an understanding of treatment effect heterogeneity. In this paper, we develop a non-parametric causal forest for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects that extends Breiman's widely used random forest algorithm. In the potential outcomes framework with unconfoundedness, we show that causal forests are pointwise consistent for the true…

借助最优控制与加性扰动估计病态且不确定的动力系统AI 解读

Ordinary differential equations (ODE) are routinely calibrated on real data for estimating unknown parameters or for reverse-engineering. Nevertheless, standard statistical techniques can give disappointing results because of the complex relationship between parameters and states, which makes the corresponding estimation problem ill-posed. Moreover, ODE are mechanistic models that are prone to modeling errors, whose influences on inference are often neglected during…

多元与对象数据的加权边计数两样本检验AI 解读

Two-sample tests for multivariate data and non-Euclidean data are widely used in many fields. Parametric tests are mostly restrained to certain types of data that meets the assumptions of the parametric models. In this article, we study a nonparametric testing procedure that uses graphs representing the similarity among observations. It can be applied to any data types as long as an informative similarity measure on the sample space can be defined. The classic test based on…
