Generalized Taylor's Law for Dependent and Heterogeneous Heavy-Tailed Data

Taylor's law, also known as fluctuation scaling in physics and the power-law variance function in statistics, is an empirical pattern widely observed across fields including ecology, physics, finance, and epidemiology. It states that the variance of a sample scales as a power function of the mean of the sample. We study generalizations of Taylor's law in the context of heavy-tailed distributions with infinite mean and variance. We establish the probabilistic limit and analyze the associated convergence rates. Our results extend the existing literature by relaxing the i.i.d. assumption to accommodate dependence and heterogeneity among the random variables. This generalization enables application to dependent data such as time series and network-structured data. We support the theoretical developments by extensive simulations, and the practical relevance through applications to real network data.

用循环神经网络预测自回归非因果过程AI 解读

This paper examines the use of recurrent neural networks and their extensions for forecasting autoregressive causal-noncausal processes, characterized by local explosive patterns such as bubbles and spikes. We study the recurrent neural networks (RNN), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), bidirectional LSTM, and also a simple feed-forward network (FNN) to reveal the difficulty of forecasting extreme values depending on the type of network and…

重尾模型中的基于比率的因果发现AI 解读

In many complex systems, such as river networks and financial markets, extreme events propagate from causes to their effects, and the largest observations carry the most information about the underlying causal structure. Existing methods for causal discovery in extremes, however, are tailored to specific mechanisms, such as linear or max-linear models. This work develops causal discovery for heavy-tailed homogeneous structural causal models, a flexible class that contains…

RBF 核高斯过程最大似然估计的精确渐近理论AI 解读

Gaussian processes (GPs) are widely used across machine learning, spatial statistics, time-series analysis, optimization, Bayesian statistics, and scientific applications. A central component of a GP model is its kernel, which is typically specified through a parametric family. Among the most widely used choices is the radial basis function (RBF), also known as the squared exponential or Gaussian kernel, owing to its simple form, smoothness, and flexibility. In practice, the…

Mixed-Frequency Time Series Forecasting via Depth-Separable Neural Networks

基于深度可分离神经网络的混频时间序列预测AI 解读

To better forecast mixed-frequency time series, it is the key to choose a suitable way for frequency alignment. However, the existing methods are all limited to linear transformations, and this may overlook the possible nonlinearity, leading to a worse prediction. We alternatively consider a deep neural network for each frequency alignment, and hence a depth-separable neural network. Moreover, a parameter-sharing mechanism is adopted across the alignment at each stage,…

跨空间时间序列的预测驱动推断AI 解读

The following motif is common in spatiotemporal settings: we have a sequence of covariate and label pairs observed for a relatively short, recent time period. We have access to unlabeled covariates over a longer time period. Data is observed over many spatial locations. For instance, crop yield might be observed over a large geographical area for recent years, but weather data (which is informative about crop yield) is available for a much longer period. The goal is to…

A Transfer Learning Framework for Multilayer Networks via Model Averaging

通过模型平均实现多层网络迁移学习的框架AI 解读

Link prediction in multilayer networks is a key challenge in applications such as recommendation systems and protein-protein interaction prediction. While many techniques have been developed, most rely on assumptions about shared structures and require access to raw auxiliary data, limiting their practicality. To address these issues, we propose a novel transfer learning framework for multilayer networks using a bi-level model averaging method. A $K$-fold cross-validation…
