遍历马尔可夫过程拟合优度的新方法AI 解读

We introduce a new density-based goodness of fit test for ergodic Markov processes. Our test compares the data against the class of models specified in the null hypothesis, and rejects if no model in the class yields a stationary density that matches with the data. No alternative needs to be specified in order to implement the test. Although our test compares densities, estimation of smoothing parameters is not required, and the test has nontrivial power against $1/\sqrt{n}$…

序贯模型中条件预测修正尺度的估计：局部平滑极限、结构匹配与成本精度权衡AI 解读

The \emph{conditional forecast-revision scale} $\It=\{\Var(\E[X_{t+1}\mid\F_t]\mid\F_{t-1})\}^{1/2}$ measures the history-specific size of the forecast update induced by observing $X_t$. Because it is a conditional second moment built from two unknown conditional means, it is not directly observed. We study which estimator of $\It$ should be used under different structural assumptions and computational budgets. The comparison includes a block bootstrap, a…

通过独立创新分析识别的完全非线性结构向量自回归模型AI 解读

We develop a fully nonlinear structural vector autoregressive framework in which the contemporaneous structural mapping may be nonlinear and non-additive. Identification is achieved by exploiting variation in the conditional distributions of the mutually independent structural shocks induced by an observed exogenous variable. Specifically, a general contrastive learning framework that makes use of this variation together with the assumed exponential-family structure is…

协整系统中平滑结构变化的检验AI 解读

This paper develops an econometric framework for analysing smooth structural change in cointegrated systems following a known intervention time. We consider a vector error-correction model in which the cointegration rank and the pre-intervention cointegrating structure are identified from a stable pre-intervention subsample. After the intervention, both the adjustment coefficients and the cointegrating vectors are allowed to evolve smoothly as functions of rescaled time,…

面板数据中所选群组的条件选择后推断AI 解读

We consider the problem of testing for differences in group-specific slopes between the selected groups in panel data identified via k-means clustering. In this setting, the classical Wald-type test statistic is problematic because it produces an extremely inflated type I error probability. The underlying reason is that the same dataset is used to identify the group structure and construct the test statistic, simultaneously. This creates dependence between the selection and…
