A Note on Threshold Principle, Artificial Neural Network Connections and Econometric Legacy
阈值原理、神经网络联系与计量经济学传承札记
This is mostly a non-technical note, reflecting the author's philosophy and personal views on time series analysis, with references limited to only a few representatives for brevity. The Threshold Principle, formally announced in Tong (1990), modernised time series analysis by introducing a collection of sub-systems to model complex nonlinear dynamics. We explore the conceptual architecture of the Threshold Principle drawing parallels and contrasts with artificial neural…
