半参数因子模型的可行加权投影主成分分析AI 解读

Summary Various factor estimation procedures have been developed, based on the latent factor model. They often consider general conditions that allow for correlations and heteroscedasticity. However, the conventional principal components method does not efficiently estimate the parameters. It also does not accommodate additional covariates, which explain the unknown factors, even if they are available. In particular, a few aggregated macroeconomic variables can be used as…

高维面板函数型时间序列的统计推断AI 解读

Abstract In this paper, we develop statistical inference tools for high-dimensional functional time series. We introduce a new concept of physical dependent processes in the space of square integrable functions, which adopts the idea of basis decomposition of functional data in these spaces, and derive Gaussian and multiplier bootstrap approximations for sums of high-dimensional functional time series. These results have numerous important statistical consequences.…

基于多元谱积分 Frobenius 范数的模型识别AI 解读

Abstract We study the integral of the Frobenius norm as a measure of the discrepancy between two multivariate spectra. Such a measure can be used to fit time series models, and ensures proximity between model and process at all frequencies of the spectral density. We develop new asymptotic results for linear and quadratic functionals of the periodogram, and apply the integrated Frobenius norm to fit time series models and test whether model residuals are white noise. The…

时间序列两步 GMM 的有限样本校正推断AI 解读

This paper develops a finite-sample corrected inference for the efficient generalized method of moments (GMM) in time series. To capture a higher-order uncertainty embodied in estimating the time series GMM weight matrix, we extend the finite-sample corrected variance formula of Windmeijer (2005) to heteroskedasticity autocorrelated robust (HAR) inference. Using fixed-smoothing asymptotics, we show that our finite-sample corrected test statistics lead to standard asymptotic…

稀疏高维结构向量自回归的结构推断AI 解读

We consider statistical inference for impulse responses and forecast error variance decompositions in sparse, structural high-dimensional vector autoregressive (SVAR) systems. We introduce consistent estimators of impulse responses in the high-dimensional setting and suggest valid inference procedures for the same parameters. Statistical inference in our setting is much more involved since standard procedures, like the delta-method, do not apply. By using local projection…

准得分驱动模型AI 解读

This paper introduces the class of quasi score-driven (QSD) models. This new class inherits and extends the basic ideas behind the development of score-driven (SD) models and addresses a number of unsolved issues in the score literature. In particular, the new class of models (i) generalizes many existing models, including SD models, (ii) disconnects the updating equation from the log-likelihood implied by the conditional density of the observations, (iii) allows testing of…

预测分位数回归的新稳健推断方法AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel approach to offer a robust inferential theory across all types of persistent regressors in a predictive quantile regression model. We first estimate a quantile regression with an auxiliary regressor, which is generated as a weighted combination of an exogenous random walk process and a bounded transformation of the original regressor. With a similar spirit of rotation in factor analysis, one can then construct a weighted estimator using the…

幂 ARCH(∞) 模型中的条件非对称性AI 解读

We consider an extension of ARCH(∞) models to account for conditional asymmetry in the presence of high persistence. After stating existence and stationarity conditions, this paper develops the statistical inference of such models and proves the consistency and asymptotic distribution of a Quasi Maximum Likelihood estimator. Some particular specifications are studied and we introduce a Portmanteau goodness-of-fit test. Additionally, test procedures for asymmetry and GARCH…

针对高维局部备择序列的最强检验AI 解读

We develop a powerful quadratic test for the overall significance of many covariates in a dense regression model in the presence of nuisance parameters. By equally weighting the sample moments, the test is asymptotically correct in high dimensions even when the number of coefficients is larger than the sample size. Our theory allows a non-parametric error distribution and weakly exogenous nuisance variables, in particular autoregressors in many applications. Using random…

基于期权的即时波动率估计之偏差缩减AI 解读

We consider the problem of nonparametric spot volatility estimation from options that is robust to time-variation in volatility and presence of jumps in the underlying asset price. Using a higher-order expansion of the characteristic function of the underlying price increment over shrinking time intervals and option-based estimates of the latter over two distinct horizons, we achieve asymptotic bias-reduction in spot volatility estimation, relative to existing methods, that…

非线性时间序列回归的状态域变点检测AI 解读

Change point detection in time series has attracted substantial interest, but most of the existing results have been focused on detecting change points in the time domain. This paper considers the situation where nonlinear time series have potential change points in the state domain. We apply a density-weighted anti-symmetric kernel function to the state domain and therefore propose a nonparametric procedure to test the existence of change points. When the existence of…

费城犯罪趋势：结合粒子优化的贝叶斯聚类AI 解读

Accurate estimation of the change in crime over time is a critical first step toward better understanding of public safety in large urban environments. Bayesian hierarchical modeling is a natural way to study spatial variation in urban crime dynamics at the neighborhood level, since it facilitates principled "sharing of information" between spatially adjacent neighborhoods. Typically, however, cities contain many physical and social boundaries that may manifest as spatial…

通过错误率控制数据驱动地选择变点数量AI 解读

In multiple change-point analysis, one of the main difficulties is to determine the number of change-points. Various consistent selection methods, including the use of Schwarz information criterion and cross-validation, have been proposed to balance the model fitting and complexity. However, there is lack of systematic approaches to provide theoretical guarantee of significance in determining the number of changes. In this paper, we introduce a data-adaptive selection…

预算约束下利用不规则电子健康记录的强化风险预测AI 解读

Uncontrolled glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels are associated with adverse events among complex diabetic patients. These adverse events present serious health risks to affected patients and are associated with significant financial costs. Thus, a high-quality predictive model that could identify high-risk patients so as to inform preventative treatment has the potential to improve patient outcomes while reducing healthcare costs. Because the biomarker information needed to…

空间面板数据模型的鞍点近似AI 解读

We develop new higher-order asymptotic techniques for the Gaussian maximum likelihood estimator in a spatial panel data model, with fixed effects, time-varying covariates, and spatially correlated errors. Our saddlepoint density and tail area approximation feature relative error of order O(1/(n(T−1))) with n being the cross-sectional dimension and T the time-series dimension. The main theoretical tool is the tilted-Edgeworth technique in a nonidentically distributed setting.…

自适应采集高维数据的在线去偏及时间序列应用AI 解读

Adaptive collection of data is commonplace in applications throughout science and engineering. From the point of view of statistical inference, however, adaptive data collection induces memory and correlation in the samples, and poses significant challenge. We consider the high-dimensional linear regression, where the samples are collected adaptively, and the sample size n can be smaller than p, the number of covariates. In this setting, there are two distinct sources of…

部分观测相互作用系统的装袋滤波方法AI 解读

Bagging (i.e., bootstrap aggregating) involves combining an ensemble of bootstrap estimators. We consider bagging for inference from noisy or incomplete measurements on a collection of interacting stochastic dynamic systems. Each system is called a unit, and each unit is associated with a spatial location. A motivating example arises in epidemiology, where each unit is a city: the majority of transmission occurs within a city, with smaller yet epidemiologically important…

时空数据的得分驱动建模AI 解读

A simultaneous autoregressive score-driven model with autoregressive disturbances is developed for spatio-temporal data that may exhibit heavy tails. The model specification rests on a signal plus noise decomposition of a spatially filtered process,where the signal can be approximated by a nonlinear function of the past variables and a set of explanatory variables, while the noise follows a multivariate Student-t distribution. The key feature of the model is that the…

Wasserstein 回归AI 解读

The analysis of samples of random objects that do not lie in a vector space is gaining increasing attention in statistics. An important class of such object data is univariate probability measures defined on the real line. Adopting the Wasserstein metric, we develop a class of regression models for such data, where random distributions serve as predictors and the responses are either also distributions or scalars. To define this regression model, we use the geometry of…

非平稳时间序列的泛函估计与变化检测AI 解读

Tests for structural breaks in time series should ideally be sensitive to breaks in the parameter of interest, while being robust to nuisance changes. Statistical analysis thus needs to allow for some form of nonstationarity under the null hypothesis of no change. In this paper, estimators for integrated parameters of locally stationary time series are constructed and a corresponding functional central limit theorem is established, enabling change-point inference for a broad…

函数型数据序列的贪心分割AI 解读

We present a new approach known as greedy segmentation (GS) to identify multiple changepoints for a functional data sequence. The proposed multiple changepoint detection criterion links detectability with the projection onto a suitably chosen subspace and the changepoint locations. The changepoint estimator identifies the true changepoints for any predetermined number of changepoint candidates, either over-reporting or under-reporting. This theoretical finding supports the…

函数型时间序列的自助法预测带AI 解读

A bootstrap procedure for constructing prediction bands for a stationary functional time series is proposed. The procedure exploits a general vector autoregressive representation of the time-reversed series of Fourier coefficients appearing in the Karhunen–Loève representation of the functional process. It generates backward-in-time functional replicates that adequately mimic the dependence structure of the underlying process in a model-free way and have the same…

含随机效应的自回归面板有序 Probit 模型的复合似然估计AI 解读

Modeling and estimating autocorrelated discrete data can be challenging. In this article, we use an autoregressive panel ordered probit model where the serial correlation in the discrete variable is driven by the autocorrelation in the latent variable. In such a nonlinear model, the presence of a lagged latent variable results in an intractable likelihood containing high-dimensional integrals. To tackle this problem, we use composite likelihoods that involve a much lower…

美国月度国内生产总值的协调估计AI 解读

In the United States, income and expenditure-side estimates of gross domestic product (GDP) (GDPI and GDPE) measure “true” GDP with error and are available at a quarterly frequency. Methods exist for using these proxies to produce reconciled quarterly estimates of true GDP. In this paper, we extend these methods to provide reconciled historical true GDP estimates at a monthly frequency. We do this using a Bayesian mixed frequency vector autoregression (MF-VAR) involving…
