高维函数型时间序列中伪因子的来源分解AI 解读

This article explores a general factor structure for high-dimensional nonstationary functional time series, encompassing a wide range of factor models studied in the existing literature. We investigate the asymptotic spectral behaviors of the sample covariance operator under this general data structure. A novel fundamental sufficient condition, formulated in terms of a newly introduced effective rank tailored to this setup, is established under which empirical eigen-analysis…

混合类型时间序列拟似然模型：新冠病毒载量与死亡动态AI 解读

Accurate real-time monitoring of disease transmission is crucial for epidemic control, which has conventionally relied on reported cases or hospital admissions. Such metrics are frequently susceptible to delays in reporting, various forms of bias, and under-ascertainment. Cycle threshold values obtained from reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction offer a promising alternative, serving as a proxy for viral load. In this paper, we aim to jointly model the…

在广义可加模型中整合复杂协变量变换AI 解读

Transformations of covariates are widely used in applied statistics to improve interpretability and to satisfy assumptions required for valid inference. More broadly, feature engineering encompasses a wider set of practices aimed at enhancing predictive performance, and is typically performed as part of a data pre-processing step. In contrast, this paper integrates a substantial component of the feature engineering process directly into the modelling stage. This is achieved…

集合识别结构向量自回归模型的投影推断AI 解读

We study the properties of the classical \emph{projection} method to conduct simultaneous inference about the coefficients of the structural impulse-response function and their identified set in Structural Vector Autoregressions. We show that -- as the sample size grows large -- projection inference produces regions for the structural parameters and their identified set with both frequentist coverage and robust Bayesian credibility of at least $1-α$. We then calibrate the…
