协变量增强的累积和泡沫监测程序AI 解读

We explore how information from covariates can be incorporated into the CUSUM-based real-time monitoring procedure for explosive asset price bubbles developed in Homm and Breitung (2012, Journal of Financial Econometrics 10, 198–231). Where dynamic covariates are present in the data generating process (DGP), the false positive rate (FPR) of the basic CUSUM procedure, which is based on the assumption that prices follow a univariate DGP, under the null of no explosivity will…

时间聚合下线性模型的稳定性AI 解读

Linear factor models dominate the field of empirical asset pricing and are largely considered a successful framework even though testing for model adequacy is uncommon in empirical research. This article develops a probabilistic argument under the assumption that return data are generated by a multivariate Lévy process and shows that linear factor models are asymptotically adequate as the return frequency declines. Rate-of-convergence results are provided assuming finite or…

含议价机制双向拍卖的非参数识别与估计AI 解读

This article studies the nonparametric identification and estimation of double auctions with one buyer and one seller. This model assumes that both bidders submit their own sealed bids, and the transaction price is determined by a weighted average between the submitted bids when the buyer’s offer is higher than the seller’s ask. It captures the bargaining process between two parties. Working within this double auction model, we first establish the nonparametric…

拓展回归模型的适用空间AI 解读

This article introduces and analyzes a framework that accommodates general heterogeneity in regression modeling. It demonstrates that regression models with fixed or time-varying parameters can be estimated using the ordinary least squares (OLS) and time-varying OLS methods, respectively, across a broad class of regressors and noise processes not covered by existing theory. The proposed setting facilitates the development of asymptotic theory and the estimation of robust…

Bootstrap 模型平均AI 解读

Model averaging has garnered significant attention in recent years for its ability to combine information from multiple models. A critical challenge in frequentist model averaging is determining the appropriate weight vector. The bootstrap method, well-known for its desirable properties, offers a promising solution. In this article, we propose a bootstrap model averaging approach that selects weights by minimizing a bootstrap-based criterion. Notably, our weight selection…

利用数字孪生微观模拟与 Q 学习制定公共卫生政策：新冠加强针案例AI 解读

The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the urgent need for effective vaccine policies, but traditional clinical trials often lack sufficient data to capture the diverse population characteristics necessary for comprehensive public health strategies. Ethical concerns around randomized trials during a pandemic further complicate policy development for public health. Reinforcement Learning (RL) offers a promising alternative for vaccine policy development. However, direct online RL…

面向群体推荐的矩阵补全结构化保形推断AI 解读

We develop a conformal inference method to construct a joint confidence region for a given group of missing entries within a sparsely observed matrix, focusing primarily on entries from the same column. Our method is model-agnostic and can be combined with any ``black-box'' matrix completion algorithm to provide reliable uncertainty estimation for group-level recommendations. For example, in the context of movie recommendations, it is useful to quantify the uncertainty in…

自适应迁移聚类：统一框架AI 解读

We propose a general transfer learning framework for clustering given a main dataset and an auxiliary one about the same subjects. The two datasets may reflect similar but different latent grouping structures of the subjects. We propose an adaptive transfer clustering (ATC) algorithm that automatically leverages the commonality in the presence of unknown discrepancy, by optimizing an estimated bias-variance decomposition. It applies to a broad class of statistical models…

先学习再决策：数据市场设计的学习方法AI 解读

As data marketplaces become increasingly central to the digital economy, it is crucial to design efficient pricing mechanisms that optimize revenue while ensuring fair and adaptive pricing. We introduce the Maximum Auction-to-Posted Price (MAPP) mechanism, a novel two-stage approach that first estimates the bidders’ value distribution through auctions and then determines the optimal posted price based on the learned distribution. We establish that MAPP is individually…

Abstract Adaptive experiments use preliminary analyses of the data to inform further course of action and are commonly used in many disciplines including medical and social sciences. Because the null hypothesis and experimental design are data-dependent, it has long been recognized that statistical inference for adaptive experiments is not straightforward. Most existing methods only apply to specific adaptive designs and rely on strong assumptions. In this work, we propose…

线性模型中利用异方差进行稳健推断AI 解读

Summary We study inference via heteroskedasticity in linear models commonly used for macroeconomic policy analysis, where covariate endogeneity must often be addressed with limited time and data. Our framework nests standard heteroskedasticity-based approaches, allows for new non-nested restrictions, and does not require ex ante regime labelling. We propose an easily implementable weak identification robust test and derive sufficient conditions for its validity. Simulation…

异方差误差线性模型中多个变点的置信区间AI 解读

We consider the problem of estimating and deriving confidence intervals for change points in linear models with heteroscedastic errors. A CUSUM process-based estimator is proposed, and we establish its asymptotic properties when the linear regression model exhibits change points in both the regression parameters and the distribution of the errors. This theory motivates the construction of confidence sets for multiple change points by refining preliminary change point…

函数型时间序列的整数阶单整检验AI 解读

We develop a statistical testing procedure to examine whether the curve-valued time series of interest is integrated of order d for a nonnegative integer d. The proposed procedure can distinguish between integer-integrated time series and fractionally-integrated ones, and it has broad applicability in practice. Monte Carlo simulation experiments show that the proposed testing procedure performs reasonably well. We apply our methodology to Canadian yield curve data and French…

私有线性回归对噪声尾部的适应AI 解读

While the traditional goal of statistics is to infer population parameters, modern practice increasingly demands protection of individual privacy. One way to address this need is to adapt classical statistical procedures into privacy-preserving algorithms. In this article, we develop differentially private tail-robust methods for linear regression. The tradeoff among bias, privacy, and robustness is controlled by a tunable robustification parameter in the Huber loss. We…

主成分空间中的高维回归与维数增益：再考察AI 解读

Benefits of exploiting sparsity in the space of principal components have been well documented both empirically and theoretically (Lang and Zou; Silin and Fan). In this article, we further reveal another unexpected advantage of exploiting sparsity in the space of principal components when the data are contaminated by measurement errors. Assuming the coefficient vector resides in an lq ball (0≤q≤1), we show that an l1 penalized principal components regression has a prediction…

多元时间序列频域中的局部化稀疏主成分分析AI 解读

Principal component analysis has been a main tool in multivariate analysis for estimating a low dimensional linear subspace that explains most of the variability in the data. However, in high-dimensional regimes, naive estimates of the principal loadings are not consistent and difficult to interpret. In the context of time series, principal component analysis of spectral density matrices can provide valuable, parsimonious information about the behavior of the underlying…

多元对称下基于最优传输的分布无关符号、秩与单样本位置检验AI 解读

We propose a novel and unified framework for distribution-free testing under multivariate symmetry (that includes central symmetry, sign symmetry, spherical symmetry, etc.) based on the theory of optimal transport. Our approach leads to notions of distribution-free generalized multivariate signs, absolute ranks and signed-ranks. As a consequence, we develop analogues of the sign and Wilcoxon signed-rank tests that share many of the appealing properties of their…

利用情感分析改进投资决策：概率排序框架AI 解读

We develop a probabilistic framework to extract sentiment information from text by training a model to predict and rank sentiments in newly encountered documents. Our approach imposes a joint semi-parametric model on text and ordinal response variables, addressing the challenges of sparse sentiment signals and complex response distributions. Through a word screening procedure and the use of normalized ranks, our approach achieves consistent sentiment ranking without…

离散观测函数型数据的协方差检验：何时有效、如何实施AI 解读

For covariance test in functional data analysis, existing methods are developed only for fully observed curves, whereas in practice, trajectories are typically observed discretely and with noise. To bridge this gap, we employ a pool-smoothing strategy to construct an FPC-based test statistic, allowing the number of estimated eigenfunctions to grow with the sample size. This yields a consistently nonparametric test, while the challenge arises from the concurrence of diverging…

整数值平滑转换 GARCH 模型：设定与检验AI 解读

This paper introduces a new class of nonlinear models known as the Z-valued smooth transition GARCH model, designed to accommodate Z-valued time series that display asymmetric, nonlinear and highly persistent volatility. The paper outlines the maximum likelihood estimation procedure and establishes its consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimated parameters. Three types of tests are studied, including sup-type linearity test, score-based goodness-of-fit test, and…

流式数据高维广义线性模型的自适应去偏 LassoAI 解读

Online statistical inference facilitates real-time analysis of sequentially collected data, making it different from traditional methods that rely on static datasets. This article introduces a novel approach to online inference in high-dimensional generalized linear models, where we update regression coefficient estimates and their standard errors upon each new data arrival. In contrast to existing methods that either require full dataset access or large-dimensional summary…

空间多元数据的内外反转交叉协方差模型AI 解读

As the spatial features of multivariate data are increasingly central in researchers’ applied problems, there is a growing demand for novel spatially aware methods that are flexible, easily interpretable, and scalable to large data. We develop inside-out cross-covariance (IOX) models for multivariate spatial likelihood-based inference. IOX leads to valid cross-covariance matrix functions which we interpret as inducing spatial dependence on independent replicates of a…

主特征值与主特征向量的检验AI 解读

We establish central limit theorems for principal eigenvalues and eigenvectors under divergent spiked covariance models, and develop three two-sample tests for testing (1) the equality of principal eigenvalues, (2) the stability of eigenvalue proportions, and (3) the invariance of principal eigenvectors. One important application of our results is to understand structural breaks in large factor models. That is, when a structural break is suspected or detected, these tests…

合成控制的识别与推断：近端因果推断框架AI 解读

Synthetic control (SC) methods are commonly used to estimate the treatment effect on a single treated unit in panel data settings. An SC is a weighted average of control units built to match the treated unit, with weights typically estimated by regressing pre-treatment outcomes and measured covariates of the treated unit to those of the control units. However, the classical SC method was primarily proposed for empirical settings where a good pre-treatment fit is attainable…
