目标 PCA：大维面板数据的迁移学习AI 解读

This paper develops a novel method to estimate a latent factor model for a large target panel with missing observations by optimally using the information from auxiliary panel data sets. We refer to our estimator as target-PCA. Transfer learning from auxiliary panel data allows us to deal with a large fraction of missing observations and weak signals in the target panel. We show that our estimator is more efficient and can consistently estimate weak factors, which are not…

平衡前视偏差与方差的贝叶斯缺失值填补AI 解读

Missing time-series data is a prevalent problem in many prescriptive analytics models in operations management, healthcare and finance. Imputation methods for time-series data are usually applied to the full panel data with the purpose of training a prescriptive model for a downstream out-of-sample task. For example, the imputation of missing asset returns may be applied before estimating an optimal portfolio allocation. However, this practice can result in a look-ahead-bias…
