带移民的单位根Galton–Watson过程的漂移推断AI 解读

We study inference on the drift of a critical Galton--Watson process with immigration, a count time series with a unit root. Climate change motivates such nonstationary models for weather-related disaster counts. The drift is the expected increase in the count per period. Ordinary least squares is inconsistent for the drift, so we study state-weighted least squares, giving greater weight to observations following small counts, where conditional variance is lower. Under…

伪增量检验：利用自然发生的干预衡量广告增量效应AI 解读

We develop a method for measuring the incremental effect of advertising when randomized exper- iments are unavailable. Firms generate abrupt interventions in their own marketing as a byproduct of operations: budgets are cut, channels launch, programs pause. We propose a two-stage proce- dure that treats these events as quasi-experiments. The first stage discovers and dates interventions by exact Bayesian run-length inference on marketing activity series. The second stage…

条件线性的矩阵正态状态空间模型AI 解读

We develop a class of linear state space models for matrix-valued time series data where the state is a latent matrix normal process. We derive matrix versions of the Kalman filter, log-likelihood, and smoother enabling estimation of the latent state matrix as well as the model's parameters. To conduct Bayesian inference, we provide algorithms that draw from the joint posterior distribution of the latent state matrices conditional on the observed data and parameters. We…

从复数到八元数：地球与空间观测的多元自回归时间序列分析AI 解读

Many datasets arise as multivariate time series observed at irregular time intervals, particularly in Earth observation and astronomical measurements. Classical time-series models assume that time is discrete and observations occur at equally spaced intervals, limiting their ability to capture dynamics when observation gaps vary. Existing approaches to irregular sampling rely on continuous-time formulations, which assume that observation intervals are sufficiently small. We…

Tensor-BEKK：张量时间序列的条件协方差建模与推断AI 解读

Modern economic and financial data are increasingly organized as multiway arrays, with observations indexed simultaneously by geographic regions, industrial sectors, asset categories, and other economic characteristics. Representing such data as tensor-valued time series preserves their intrinsic multiway structure. Although substantial effort has been devoted to modeling the conditional mean of tensor-valued time series, comparatively less attention has been paid to their…

用于因果推断与模型发现的连续时间集合 Kalman–Bucy 平滑器AI 解读

Data assimilation (DA) integrates observational information with model predictions to improve state estimation in complex systems. While filtering provides the basis for online forecasts by using only past and present observations, it can exhibit delays and biases when the underlying dynamics evolve rapidly or undergo regime transitions. Smoothing, which additionally incorporates future observations, provides a natural pipeline for hindcasting and reanalysis that yields an…

高维张量时间序列的 CP 因子分解与双投影迭代AI 解读

We adopt the canonical polyadic (CP) decomposition to model high-dimensional tensor time series. Our primary goal is to identify and estimate the factor loadings in the CP decomposition. We propose a one-pass estimation procedure through standard eigen-analysis for a matrix constructed based on the serial dependence structure of the data. The asymptotic properties of the proposed estimator are established under a general setting as long as the factor loading vectors are…
