Nowcasting using regression on signatures
利用路径签名回归进行即时预测
We introduce a new method of nowcasting using regression on path signatures. Path signatures capture the geometric properties of sequential data. Because signatures embed observations in continuous time, they naturally handle mixed frequencies and missing data. We prove theoretically, and demonstrate with simulations, that regression on signatures both subsumes the linear Kalman filter and has desirable consistency properties. Nowcasting with signatures is more robust to…
