Estimation of High-Dimensional Markov-Switching VAR Models with an Approximate EM Algorithm
利用近似EM算法估计高维马尔可夫切换VAR模型
Regime shifts in high-dimensional time series arise naturally in many applications, from neuroimaging to finance. This problem has received considerable attention in low-dimensional settings, with both Bayesian and frequentist methods used extensively for parameter estimation. The EM algorithm is a particularly popular strategy for parameter estimation in low-dimensional settings, although the statistical properties of the resulting estimates have not been well understood.…
