This study examines the practical implications of the fact that structural changes in factor loadings can produce spurious factors (or irrelevant factors) in forecasting exercises. These spurious factors can induce an overfitting problem in factor-augmented forecasting models. To address this concern, we propose a method to estimate nonspurious factors by identifying the set of response variables that have no structural changes in their factor loadings. Our theoretical results show that the obtained set may include a fraction of unstable response variables. However, the fraction is so small that the original factors are able to be identified and estimated consistently. Moreover, using this approach, we find that a significant portion of 132 U.S. macroeconomic time series have structural changes in their factor loadings. Although traditional principal components provide eight or more factors, there are significantly fewer nonspurious factors. The forecasts using the nonspurious factors can significantly improve out-of-sample performance.
存在结构不稳定时因子增广回归模型的滚动窗口选择
The paper develops a theory for selecting the rolling window when generating out-of-sample forecasts with factor-augmented regression (FAR) models in the presence of structural instabilities. It shows how to select a rolling window by minimizing the conditional mean squared forecast error (MSFE) while accounting for uncertainty in factor estimation. Because the conditional MSFE is unobserved and the factors are latent, this paper proposes a feasible version of the criterion…
平滑结构变化下 FAVAR 模型的时变模型平均
Factor-augmented vector autoregressive (FAVAR) models serve as a powerful tool for forecasting economic and financial variables, particularly in environments with a large number of predictors. In this study, we propose a time-varying model-averaging method for FAVAR (TVMA-FAVAR) that accommodates smooth structural changes. To estimate the optimal time-varying combination weights, we develop a local leave-one-out cross-validation (LLOCV) criterion that is asymptotically…
因子增广回归的分位数预测:结构不稳定性与模型不确定性
The quantile regression is an effective tool in modeling data with heterogeneous conditional distribution. This paper considers the time-varying coefficient quantile predictive regression with factor-augmented predictors, to capture smooth structural changes and incorporate high-dimensional data information in prediction simultaneously. Uniform consistency of the local linear quantile coefficient estimators is established under misspecification. To further improve the…
多状态下的潜在核心通胀
This paper introduces a new approach for estimating core inflation indicators based on common factors across a broad range of price indices. Specifically, by utilizing procedures for detecting multiple regimes in high-dimensional factor models, we propose two types of core inflation indicators: one incorporating multiple structural breaks and another based on Markov switching. The structural breaks approach can eliminate revisions for past regimes, though it functions as an…
平滑结构变化下因子增强回归的时变预测组合
This study proposes a time-varying forecast combination for factor-augmented (TVFCFA) regressions with smooth structural changes. First, we establish the limiting distribution of the estimators of the time-varying factor-augmented regressions. To estimate the optimal time-varying combination weights, we propose a local leave-l-out cross-validation (LLOCV) criterion that is asymptotically unbiased for the local mean squared forecast error (LMSFE). The TVFCFA method was shown…
利用图形 LASSO 在结构突变下组合预测
In this paper we develop a novel method of combining many forecasts based on a machine learning algorithm called Graphical LASSO (GL). We visualize forecast errors from different forecasters as a network of interacting entities and generalize network inference in the presence of common factor structure and structural breaks. First, we note that forecasters often use common information and hence make common mistakes, which makes the forecast errors exhibit common factor…
