经济时间序列的路径爆炸行为：以实现路径为中心的探索框架AI 解读

We propose a descriptive, realization-centred framework for detecting and characterising explosive and co-explosive behaviour in economic time series, which we term path-explosive behaviour. Departing from the data-generating-process (DGP) perspective that underlies recursive unit root testing, the approach operates directly on observable path properties of the realised series. Four diagnostic layers -- level geometry, growth rate dynamics, normalised curvature, and…

长程依赖时间序列协方差矩阵与精度矩阵的同时推断AI 解读

For time series with long-range temporal dependence, inference for covariance and precision matrices is non-trivial. We propose a Berry-Esseen type Gaussian approximation result that gives a finite-sample bound for the Kolmogorov distance between the infinity norms of the estimation error of sample covariance matrix and the corresponding Gaussian approximation. The method utilizes martingale and m-dependent approximation and relies on constructing triadic blocks. We also…

利用持久同调构造稳定的时间序列相似度量AI 解读

Persistent homology, the study of holes that appear in data as one thickens balls centered around its points over time, has theoretically guaranteed stability. That is, small data perturbations guarantee small changes in the lifetimes of these holes. This stability has been used to construct a measure of periodicity for a single univariate time series, denoted score(f1). One popular measure of similarity between two time series is percent determinism (%DET), which measures…

基于分块前两大次序统计量的极值分析AI 解读

Extreme value analysis for time series is often based on the block maxima method, in particular for environmental applications. In the classical univariate case, the latter is based on fitting an extreme-value distribution to the sample of (annual) block maxima. Mathematically, the target parameters of the extreme-value distribution also show up in limit results for other high order statistics, which suggests estimation based on blockwise large order statistics. It is shown…

高维因子模型中多重断点的分类与估计AI 解读

This paper proposes a quasi-maximum likelihood (QML) estimator for break points in high-dimensional factor models, specifically accounting for multiple structural breaks. We begin by establishing a necessary and sufficient condition to categorize two distinct types of breaks in factor loadings: singular changes and rotational changes. The analysis of the nearly singular subsample covariance matrices of the pseudo-factors plays a key role in our approach. It allows us to…
