用于时间序列预测的共形 PID 控制AI 解读

We study the problem of uncertainty quantification for time series prediction, with the goal of providing easy-to-use algorithms with formal guarantees. The algorithms we present build upon ideas from conformal prediction and control theory, are able to prospectively model conformal scores in an online setting, and adapt to the presence of systematic errors due to seasonality, trends, and general distribution shifts. Our theory both simplifies and strengthens existing…

具有时变潜在分组结构的面板数据模型AI 解读

This paper considers a linear panel model with interactive fixed effects and unobserved individual and time heterogeneities that are captured by some latent group structures and an unknown structural break, respectively. To enhance realism the model may have different numbers of groups and/or different group memberships before and after the break. With the preliminary nuclear-norm-regularized estimation followed by row- and column-wise linear regressions, we estimate the…

Information technology (IT) systems are vital for modern businesses, handling data storage, communication, and process automation. Monitoring these systems is crucial for their proper functioning and efficiency, as it allows collecting extensive observational time series data for analysis. The interest in causal discovery is growing in IT monitoring systems as knowing causal relations between different components of the IT system helps in reducing downtime, enhancing system…

移动健康密集纵向数据的连续时间动态因子模型AI 解读

Intensive longitudinal data (ILD) collected in mobile health (mHealth) studies contain rich information on multiple outcomes measured frequently over time that have the potential to capture short-term and long-term dynamics. Motivated by an mHealth study of smoking cessation in which participants self-report the intensity of many emotions multiple times per day, we describe a dynamic factor model that summarizes the ILD as a low-dimensional, interpretable latent process.…

用于时间序列结构发现的序贯蒙特卡洛学习AI 解读

This paper presents a new approach to automatically discovering accurate models of complex time series data. Working within a Bayesian nonparametric prior over a symbolic space of Gaussian process time series models, we present a novel structure learning algorithm that integrates sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) and involutive MCMC for highly effective posterior inference. Our method can be used both in "online" settings, where new data is incorporated sequentially in time, and…

Reliever：减轻变点检测中昂贵模型拟合的负担AI 解读

Changepoint detection typically relies on a grid-search strategy for optimal data segmentation. When model fitting itself is expensive, repeatedly fitting a model on every candidate segment dominates the computation. Existing approaches mitigate this by pruning the grid, thus reducing the number of segments (and model fits). We propose Reliever, which instead cuts the number of model fits directly and nests seamlessly within standard grid-search routines. Reliever fits a…

外部工具变量下的稳健脉冲响应：信息的作用AI 解读

External-instrument identification leads to biased responses when the shock is not invertible and the measurement error is present. We propose to use this identification strategy in a structural Dynamic Factor Model, which we call Proxy DFM. In a simulation analysis, we show that the Proxy DFM always successfully retrieves the true impulse responses, while the Proxy SVAR systematically fails to do so when the model is either misspecified, does not include all relevant…

监督式动态主成分分析：多预测变量下的线性动态预测AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel dynamic forecasting method using a new supervised Principal Component Analysis (PCA) when a large number of predictors are available. The new supervised PCA provides an effective way to bridge the gap between predictors and the target variable of interest by scaling and combining the predictors and their lagged values, resulting in an effective dynamic forecasting. Unlike the traditional diffusion-index approach, which does not learn the…

时间序列统计泛函的重叠分批置信区间：分位数、优化与估计应用AI 解读

We propose a general purpose confidence interval procedure (CIP) for statistical functionals constructed using data from a stationary time series. The procedures we propose are based on derived distribution-free analogues of the $χ^2$ and Student's $t$ random variables for the statistical functional context, and hence apply in a wide variety of settings including quantile estimation, gradient estimation, M-estimation, CVAR-estimation, and arrival process rate estimation,…

三角法平滑与指数级数逼近：匈牙利1992—2022年GDP案例AI 解读

In practice , quite often there is a need to describe the values set by means of a table in the form of some functional dependence . The observed values , due to certain circumstances , have an error . For approximation, it is advisable to use a functional dependence that would allow smoothing out the errors of the observation results. Approximation allows you to determine intermediate values of functions that are not listed among the data in the observation table. The use…

通过参数连接缓解持续期依赖 Markov 转换模型的持续期选择AI 解读

One of the most important hyper-parameters in duration-dependent Markov-switching (DDMS) models is the duration of the hidden states. Because there is currently no procedure for estimating this duration or testing whether a given duration is appropriate for a given data set, an ad hoc duration choice must be heuristically justified. In this paper, we propose and examine a methodology that mitigates the choice of duration in DDMS models when forecasting is the goal. Two Monte…

面向自动行为建模的 PLC 数据信息型预处理AI 解读

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) offer immense optimization potential for manufacturing processes through the availability of multivariate time series data of actors and sensors. Based on automated analysis software, the deployment of adaptive and responsive measures is possible for time series data. Due to the complex and dynamic nature of modern manufacturing, analysis and modeling often cannot be entirely automated. Even machine- or deep learning approaches often depend on a…

大型近似因子模型中主成分与拟极大似然估计的渐近等价性AI 解读

This paper investigates the properties of Quasi Maximum Likelihood estimation of an approximate factor model for an $n$-dimensional vector of stationary time series. We prove that the factor loadings estimated by Quasi Maximum Likelihood are asymptotically equivalent, as $n\to\infty$, to those estimated via Principal Components. Both estimators are, in turn, also asymptotically equivalent, as $n\to\infty$, to the unfeasible Ordinary Least Squares estimator we would have if…

多元计数时间序列的潜在高斯动态因子建模与预测AI 解读

This work considers estimation and forecasting in a multivariate, possibly high-dimensional count time series model constructed from a transformation of a latent Gaussian dynamic factor series. The estimation of the latent model parameters is based on second-order properties of the count and underlying Gaussian time series, yielding estimators of the underlying covariance matrices for which standard principal component analysis applies. Theoretical consistency results are…

因子模型的典范分解：弱因子无处不在AI 解读

We derive a novel canonical decomposition of factor models encompassing both the static factor model - where factors are loaded only contemporaneously - and the Generalised Dynamic Factor Model - where factors are loaded with lags. This decomposition features a new term: the weak common component, defined as the difference between the dynamic and static common components. It is driven by (possibly infinitely many) non-pervasive weak factors which belong to the dynamically…

特定计数回归时间序列模型中的变量选择AI 解读

Time series of counts occurring in various applications are often overdispersed, meaning their variance is much larger than the mean. This paper proposes a novel variable selection approach for processing such data. Our approach consists in modelling them using sparse negative binomial GLARMA models. It combines estimating the autoregressive moving average (ARMA) coefficients of GLARMA models and the overdispersion parameter with performing variable selection in regression…

广义自回归条件持续期模型的渐近理论AI 解读

Engle and Russell (1998, Econometrica, 66:1127--1162) apply results from the GARCH literature to prove consistency and asymptotic normality of the (exponential) QMLE for the generalized autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) model, the so-called ACD(1,1), under the assumption of strict stationarity and ergodicity. The GARCH results, however, do not account for the fact that the number of durations over a given observation period is random. Thus, in contrast with Engle and…

函数型时间序列的降噪AI 解读

A novel method for noise reduction in the setting of curve time series with error contamination is proposed, based on extending the framework of functional principal component analysis (FPCA). We employ the underlying, finite-dimensional dynamics of the functional time series to separate the serially dependent dynamical part of the observed curves from the noise. Upon identifying the subspaces of the signal and idiosyncratic components, we construct a projection of the…

面板数据即时预测：以市盈率为例AI 解读

The paper uses structured machine learning regressions for nowcasting with panel data consisting of series sampled at different frequencies. Motivated by the problem of predicting corporate earnings for a large cross-section of firms with macroeconomic, financial, and news time series sampled at different frequencies, we focus on the sparse-group LASSO regularization which can take advantage of the mixed frequency time series panel data structures. Our empirical results show…

高维时间序列的一致因果推断AI 解读

A methodology for high dimensional causal inference in a time series context is introduced. It is assumed that there is a monotonic transformation of the data such that the dynamics of the transformed variables are described by a Gaussian vector autoregressive process. This is tantamount to assume that the dynamics are captured by a Gaussian copula. No knowledge or estimation of the marginal distribution of the data is required. The procedure consistently identifies the…

非欧氏值时间序列的两样本与变点推断AI 解读

Data objects taking value in a general metric space have become increasingly common in modern data analysis. In this paper, we study two important statistical inference problems, namely, two-sample testing and change-point detection, for such non-Euclidean data under temporal dependence. Typical examples of non-Euclidean valued time series include yearly mortality distributions, time-varying networks, and covariance matrix time series. To accommodate unknown temporal…

局部平稳函数型时间序列的最优短期预测AI 解读

Accurate curve forecasting is of vital importance for policy planning, decision making and resource allocation in many engineering and industrial applications. In this paper we establish a theoretical foundation for the optimal short-term linear prediction of non-stationary functional or curve time series with smoothly time-varying data generating mechanisms. The core of this work is to establish a unified functional auto-regressive approximation result for a general class…

相关网络、动态因子模型与社区检测AI 解读

A dynamic factor model with a mixture distribution of the loadings is introduced and studied for multivariate, possibly high-dimensional time series. The correlation matrix of the model exhibits a block structure, reminiscent of correlation patterns for many real multivariate time series. A standard $k$-means algorithm on the loadings estimated through principal components is used to cluster component time series into communities with accompanying bounds on the misclustering…

动态因子与 VARMA 模型：等价表示、降维及非线性矩阵方程AI 解读

A dynamic factor model with factor series following a VAR$(p)$ model is shown to have a VARMA$(p,p)$ model representation. Reduced-rank structures are identified for the VAR and VMA components of the resulting VARMA model. It is also shown how the VMA component parameters can be computed numerically from the original model parameters via the innovations algorithm, and connections of this approach to non-linear matrix equations are made. Some VAR models related to the…
