动态面板空间向量自回归估计：稳定性与空间多变量协整AI 解读

This paper introduces dynamic panel spatial vector autoregressive models. We study features of dynamics and spatial interactions that an SVAR model can generate and classify the model into stable or unstable cases by partitioning parameter spaces. For stable, spatial cointegration, and mixed cointegration cases, we investigate identification and QML estimation of the models to take into account simultaneity and correlated relationships. Asymptotic properties and…

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…

共轭向量自回归模型中收缩与稀疏性的结合AI 解读

Summary Conjugate priors allow for fast inference in large dimensional vector autoregressive (VAR) models. But at the same time, they introduce the restriction that each equation features the same set of explanatory variables. This paper proposes a straightforward means of postprocessing posterior estimates of a conjugate Bayesian VAR to effectively perform equation‐specific covariate selection. Compared with existing techniques using shrinkage alone, our approach combines…

马尔可夫机制转换的似然比检验AI 解读

Abstract Markov regime-switching models are very common in economics and finance. Despite persisting interest in them, the asymptotic distributions of likelihood ratio-based tests for detecting regime switching remain unknown. This study examines such tests and establishes their asymptotic distributions in the context of nonlinear models, allowing multiple parameters to be affected by regime switching. The analysis addresses three difficulties: (i) some nuisance parameters…

DSGE 模型的在线估计AI 解读

Summary This paper illustrates the usefulness of sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) methods in approximating dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) model posterior distributions. We show how the tempering schedule can be chosen adaptively, document the accuracy and runtime benefits of generalized data tempering for ‘online’ estimation (that is, re-estimating a model as new data become available), and provide examples of multimodal posteriors that are well captured by SMC…

局部随机单位根回归理论与金融收益指数样本相关系数的不稳定性AI 解读

Summary It is well known that the sample correlation coefficient between many financial return indices exhibits substantial variation on any reasonable sampling window. This stylised fact contradicts a unit root model for the underlying processes in levels, as the statistic converges in probability to a constant under this modeling scheme. In this paper, we establish asymptotic theory for regression in local stochastic unit root (LSTUR) variables. An empirical application…

结构向量自回归模型中异方差识别的检验AI 解读

Summary Tests for identification through heteroskedasticity in structural vector autoregressive analysis are developed for models with two volatility states where the time point of volatility change is known. The tests are Wald-type tests for which only the unrestricted model, including the covariance matrices of the two volatility states, has to be estimated. The residuals of the model are assumed to be from the class of elliptical distributions, which includes Gaussian…

近单位根自回归中的广义预测平均AI 解读

Summary This paper develops a new approach to forecasting a highly persistent time series that employs feasible generalized least squares (FGLS) estimation of the deterministic components in conjunction with Mallows model averaging. Within a local-to-unity asymptotic framework, we derive analytical expressions for the asymptotic mean squared error and one-step-ahead mean squared forecast risk of the proposed estimator and show that the optimal FGLS weights are different from…

跳跃还是折点：分段线性回归断点估计的超效率AI 解读

Summary We consider the problem of segmented linear regression with a single breakpoint, with the focus on estimating the location of the breakpoint. If $n$ is the sample size, we show that the global minimax convergence rate for this problem in terms of the mean absolute error is $O(n^{-1/3})$. On the other hand, we demonstrate the construction of a super-efficient estimator that achieves the pointwise convergence rate of either $O(n^{-1})$ or $O(n^{-1/2})$ for every fixed…

尾部依赖时间序列的高分位数回归AI 解读

Summary Quantile regression is a popular and powerful method for studying the effect of regressors on quantiles of a response distribution. However, existing results on quantile regression were mainly developed for cases in which the quantile level is fixed, and the data are often assumed to be independent. Motivated by recent applications, we consider the situation where (i) the quantile level is not fixed and can grow with the sample size to capture the tail phenomena, and…

含测量误差的矩阵型逻辑回归AI 解读

Summary Measurement error in covariates has been extensively studied in many conventional regression settings where covariate information is typically expressed in a vector form. However, there has been little work on error-prone matrix-variate data, which commonly arise from studies with imaging, spatial-temporal structures, etc. We consider analysis of error-contaminated matrix-variate data. We particularly focus on matrix-variate logistic measurement error models. We…

非平稳自回归模型中的多重断点估计AI 解读

Chong (1995) and Bai (1997) proposed a sample-splitting method to estimate a multiple-break model. However, their studies focused on stationary time series models, in which the identification of the first break depends on the magnitude and the duration of the break, and a testing procedure is needed to assist the estimation of the remaining breaks in subsamples split by the break points found earlier. In this paper, we focus on nonstationary multiple-break autoregressive…

稀疏单方程协整建模的自动化方法AI 解读

In this paper we propose the Single-equation Penalized Error Correction Selector (SPECS) as an automated estimation procedure for dynamic single-equation models with a large number of potentially (co)integrated variables. By extending the classical single-equation error correction model, SPECS enables the researcher to model large cointegrated datasets without necessitating any form of pre-testing for the order of integration or cointegrating rank. Under an asymptotic regime…

由双边变量构造内生空间权重的 SAR 模型估计AI 解读

This paper studies the estimation of a cross-sectional spatial autoregressive (SAR) model with spatial weights constructed by bilateral variables like the trade or investment between regions. We model the possible endogeneity in spatial weights due to the correlation between the error term in the SAR model and unobserved interactive fixed effects in bilateral variables. Using a control function approach, we propose two-stage estimation methods and establish their consistency…

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…

乘法误差模型中基于自助法的概率预测AI 解读

As evidenced by an extensive empirical literature, multiplicative error models (MEM) show good performance in capturing the stylized facts of nonnegative time series; examples include, trading volume, financial durations, and volatility. This paper develops a bootstrap based method for producing multi-step-ahead probability forecasts for a nonnegative valued time-series obeying a parametric MEM. In order to test the adequacy of the underlying parametric model, a class of…

时变参数随机波动率入均值模型中的动态收缩AI 解读

Summary Successful forecasting models strike a balance between parsimony and flexibility. This is often achieved by employing suitable shrinkage priors that penalize model complexity but also reward model fit. In this article, we modify the stochastic volatility in mean (SVM) model by introducing state‐of‐the‐art shrinkage techniques that allow for time variation in the degree of shrinkage. Using a real‐time inflation forecast exercise, we show that employing more flexible…

相关数据流并行控制图的误报等待长度渐近独立性AI 解读

Consider a process that produces a series of independent identically distributed vectors. A change in an underlying state may become manifest in a modification of one or more of the marginal distributions. Often, the dependence structure between coordinates is unknown, impeding surveillance based on the joint distribution. A popular approach is to construct control charts for each coordinate separately and raise an alarm the first time any (or some) of the control charts…

球面函数自回归的渐近理论AI 解读

In this paper, we investigate a class of spherical functional autoregressive processes, and we discuss the estimation of the corresponding autoregressive kernels. In particular, we first establish a consistency result (in mean-square and sup norm), then a quantitative central limit theorem (in Wasserstein distance), and finally a weak convergence result, under more restrictive regularity conditions. Our results are validated by a small numerical investigation.

多元时间序列极值中的多重块长与重叠分块AI 解读

Block maxima methods constitute a fundamental part of the statistical toolbox in extreme value analysis. However, most of the corresponding theory is derived under the simplifying assumption that block maxima are independent observations from a genuine extreme value distribution. In practice, however, block sizes are finite and observations from different blocks are dependent. Theory respecting the latter complications is not well developed, and, in the multivariate case,…

高维局部平稳过程的协方差与谱密度估计收敛性AI 解读

Covariances and spectral density functions play a fundamental role in the theory of time series. There is a well-developed asymptotic theory for their estimates for low-dimensional stationary processes. For high-dimensional nonstationary processes, however, many important problems on their asymptotic behaviors are still unanswered. This paper presents a systematic asymptotic theory for the estimates of time-varying second-order statistics for a general class of…

稀疏动态网络中变点的最优检测与定位AI 解读

We study the problem of change point localization in dynamic networks models. We assume that we observe a sequence of independent adjacency matrices of the same size, each corresponding to a realization of an unknown inhomogeneous Bernoulli model. The underlying distribution of the adjacency matrices are piecewise constant, and may change over a subset of the time points, called change points. We are concerned with recovering the unknown number and positions of the change…

具有多重结构变化的高维因子模型估计与检验AI 解读

This paper considers multiple changes in the factor loadings of a high dimensional factor model occurring at dates that are unknown but common to all subjects. Since the factors are unobservable, the problem is converted to estimating and testing structural changes in the second moments of the pseudo factors. We consider both joint and sequential estimation of the change points and show that the distance between the estimated and the true change points is Op(1). We find that…

去因子回归变量与多因子误差下的动态线性面板工具变量估计AI 解读

This paper develops two instrumental variable (IV) estimators for dynamic panel data models with exogenous covariates and a multifactor error structure when both the cross-sectional and time series dimensions, N and T respectively, are large. The main idea is to project out the common factors from the exogenous covariates of the model, and to construct instruments based on defactored covariates. For models with homogeneous slope coefficients, we propose a two-step IV…
