演化小波谱的局部自适应估计AI 解读

We introduce a wavelet-based model of local stationarity. This model enlarges the class of locally stationary wavelet processes and contains processes whose spectral density function may change very suddenly in time. A notion of time-varying wavelet spectrum is uniquely defined as a wavelet-type transform of the autocovariance function with respect to so-called autocorrelation wavelets. This leads to a natural representation of the autocovariance which is localized on…

非平稳高斯时间序列记忆参数的小波 Whittle 估计AI 解读

We consider a time series X={Xk, k∈ℤ} with memory parameter d0∈ℝ. This time series is either stationary or can be made stationary after differencing a finite number of times. We study the “local Whittle wavelet estimator” of the memory parameter d0. This is a wavelet-based semiparametric pseudo-likelihood maximum method estimator. The estimator may depend on a given finite range of scales or on a range which becomes infinite with the sample size. We show that the estimator…

状态切换自回归系数与单位根检验的渐近理论AI 解读

Most of the asymptotic results for Markov regime-switching models with possible unit roots are based on specifications implying that the number of regime switches grows to infinity as the sample size increases. Conversely, in this note we derive some new asymptotic results for the case of Markov regime switches that are infrequent in the sense that their number is bounded in probability, even asymptotically. This is achieved by (inversely) relating the probability of regime…

周期整合自回归过程中的季节单位根检验AI 解读

This paper examines the implications of applying the Hylleberg, Engle, Granger, and Yoo (1990, Journal of Econometrics 44, 215–238) (HEGY) seasonal root tests to a process that is periodically integrated. As an important special case, the random walk process is also considered, where the zero-frequency unit root t -statistic is shown to converge to the Dickey–Fuller distribution and all seasonal unit root statistics diverge. For periodically integrated processes and a…

非平稳 ARIMA 信号提取的矩阵公式AI 解读

The paper provides general matrix formulas for minimum mean squared error signal extraction for a finitely sampled time series whose signal and noise components are nonstationary autoregressive integrated moving average processes. These formulas are quite practical; in addition to being simple to implement on a computer, they make it possible to easily derive important general properties of the signal extraction filters. We also extend these formulas to estimates of future…

利用鞅收敛方法研究回归渐近理论AI 解读

Weak convergence of partial sums and multilinear forms in independent random variables and linear processes and their nonlinear analogues to stochastic integrals now plays a major role in nonstationary time series and has been central to the development of unit root econometrics. The present paper develops a new and conceptually simple method for obtaining such forms of convergence. The method relies on the fact that the econometric quantities of interest involve discrete…

多元时间序列因果性的稳健最优检验AI 解读

Here, we derive optimal rank-based tests for noncausality in the sense of Granger between two multivariate time series. Assuming that the global process admits a joint stationary vector autoregressive (VAR) representation with an elliptically symmetric innovation density, both no feedback and one direction causality hypotheses are tested. Using the characterization of noncausality in the VAR context, the local asymptotic normality (LAN) theory described in Le Cam (1986,…

爆炸性协整系统的极限理论AI 解读

A limit theory is developed for multivariate regression in an explosive cointegrated system. The asymptotic behavior of the least squares estimator of the cointegrating coefficients is found to depend upon the precise relationship between the explosive regressors. When the eigenvalues of the autoregressive matrix Θ are distinct, the centered least squares estimator has an exponential Θ n rate of convergence and a mixed normal limit distribution. No central limit theory is…

条件异方差创新下多元 ARMA 模型的子空间估计AI 解读

This paper deals with the estimation of linear dynamic models of the autoregressive moving average type for the conditional mean for stationary time series with conditionally heteroskedastic innovation process. Estimation is performed using a particular class of subspace methods that are known to have computational advantages as compared to estimation based on criterion minimization. These advantages are especially strong for high-dimensional time series. Conditions to…

基于 Hellinger 距离的非参数条件独立检验AI 解读

We propose a nonparametric test of conditional independence based on the weighted Hellinger distance between the two conditional densities, f ( y | x , z ) and f ( y | x ), which is identically zero under the null. We use the functional delta method to expand the test statistic around the population value and establish asymptotic normality under β-mixing conditions. We show that the test is consistent and has power against alternatives at distance n −1/2 h − d /4 . The cases…

学习、预测与结构突变AI 解读

Abstract We provide a general methodology for forecasting in the presence of structural breaks induced by unpredictable changes to model parameters. Bayesian methods of learning and model comparison are used to derive a predictive density that takes into account the possibility that a break will occur before the next observation. Estimates for the posterior distribution of the most recent break are generated as a by‐product of our procedure. We discuss the importance of…

新凯恩斯主义菲利普斯曲线的识别AI 解读

Abstract Phillips curves are central to discussions of inflation dynamics and monetary policy. The hybrid new Keynesian Phillips curve (NKPC) describes how past inflation, expected future inflation, and a measure of real aggregate demand drive the current inflation rate. This paper studies the (potential) weak identification of the NKPC under Generalized Method of Moments and traces this syndrome to a lack of higher‐order dynamics in exogenous variables. We employ analytic…

横截面相关下的面板向量自回归AI 解读

This paper studies estimation in panel vector autoregression (VAR) under cross-sectional dependence. The time series are allowed to be an unknown mixture of stationary and unit root processes with possible cointegrating relations. The cross-sectional dependence is modeled with a factor structure. We extend the factor analysis in Bai and Ng (2002, Econometrica 70, 91--221) to vector processes. The fully modified (FM) estimator in Phillips (1995) is used for estimation in…

设定错误下多重结构突变模型断点估计量的一般一致性AI 解读

This paper considers the estimation of multiple-structural-break models under specification errors. A common example in economics is that the true model is measured in level, but a linear-log model is estimated. We show that, under specification errors, if there are more than one break points and if a single-break model is estimated, the estimated break point is consistent for one of the true break points. This consistency result applies to models with multiple regressors…

基于指数加权移动平均的发生率变点监测策略AI 解读

Surveillance is a major issue in the today's world. The need to develop adequate surveillance strategies is genuine in many spheres of human activity. In this article we focus on a specific problem of surveillance and discuss some related statistical issues. This specific problem deals with a possible change in the incidence rate of an event (to a higher value) when a system is studied at discrete time points. We apply the exponentially weighted moving average methods for…

装袋法对经济时间序列预测有多大帮助？美国消费价格通胀案例AI 解读

This article focuses on the widely studied question of whether the inclusion of indicators of real economic activity lowers the prediction mean squared error of forecasting models of U.S. consumer price inflation. We propose three variants of the bagging algorithm specifically designed for this type of forecasting problem and evaluate their empirical performance. Although bagging predictors in our application are clearly more accurate than equally weighted forecasts, median…

用于时间序列分析的拉普拉斯周期图AI 解读

A new type of periodogram, called the Laplace periodogram, is derived by replacing least squares with least absolute deviations in the harmonic regression procedure that produces the ordinary periodogram of a time series. An asymptotic analysis reveals a connection between the Laplace periodogram and the zero-crossing spectrum. This relationship provides a theoretical justification for use of the Laplace periodogram as a nonparametric tool for analyzing the serial dependence…

利用样本分位数估计局部自相似高斯过程的 Hurst 指数AI 解读

This paper is devoted to the introduction of a new class of consistent estimators of the fractal dimension of locally self-similar Gaussian processes. These estimators are based on convex combinations of sample quantiles of discrete variations of a sample path over a discrete grid of the interval [0, 1]. We derive the almost sure convergence and the asymptotic normality for these estimators. The key-ingredient is a Bahadur representation for sample quantiles of nonlinear…

GARCH(1,1) 参数准极大似然估计的自助法高阶改进AI 解读

This paper reconsiders a block bootstrap procedure for Quasi Maximum Likelihood estimation of GARCH models, based on the resampling of the likelihood function, as proposed by Gonçalves and White [2004. Maximum likelihood and the bootstrap for nonlinear dynamic models. Journal of Econometrics 119, 199-219]. First, we provide necessary conditions and sufficient conditions, in terms of moments of the innovation process, for the existence of the Edgeworth expansion of the…

受限卡尔曼滤波再探AI 解读

We propose a more compact and general derivation of results concerning the estimation of linear state space models with linear restrictions in the state vector. The resulting methodological contributions are that the restricted Kalman filtering is valid regardless of the type of linear restriction being considered, and that linear restrictions can be carried out by any type of state smoothing.

This paper considers Maximum Likelihood (ML) based estimation and inference procedures for linear dynamic panel data models with fixed effects. The paper first studies the asymptotic properties of MaCurdy's [MaCurdy, T., 1982. The use of time series processes to model the time structure of earnings in a longitudinal data analysis. Journal of Econometrics 18, 83-114] First Difference Maximum Likelihood (FDML) estimator for the covariance stationary panel AR(1)/unit rootÂ…

贝叶斯学习模型中预测分歧的演化AI 解读

We estimate a Bayesian learning model with heterogeneity aimed at explaining expert forecast disagreement and its evolution over horizons. Disagreement is postulated to have three components due to differences in: (i) the initial prior beliefs, (ii) the weights attached on priors, and (iii) interpreting public information. The fixed-target, multi-horizon, cross-country feature of the panel data allows us to estimate the relative importance of each component precisely. The…

一般混合条件下平方 CUSUM 检验的极限分布AI 解读

We consider the cumulative sum (CUSUM) of squares test in a linear regression model with general mixing assumptions on the regressors and the errors. We derive its limit distribution and show how it depends on the nature of the error process. We suggest a corrected version that has a limit distribution free of nuisance parameters. We also discuss how it provides an improvement over the standard approach to testing for a change in the variance in a univariate times series.…

一类分数阶过程向量自回归模型的表示理论AI 解读

Based on an idea of Granger (1986, Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics 48, 213–228), we analyze a new vector autoregressive model defined from the fractional lag operator 1 − (1 − L ) d . We first derive conditions in terms of the coefficients for the model to generate processes that are fractional of order zero. We then show that if there is a unit root, the model generates a fractional process X t of order d , d > 0, for which there are vectors β so that β‼ X t is…
