On tail-robust autocovariance matrix estimation for high-dimensional and potentially nonstationary time series
高维及可能非平稳时间序列的尾部稳健自协方差矩阵估计
In this paper, we study the autocovariance matrix estimation and inference problems under heavy-tailedness, high-dimensionality, general nonlinear temporal dependence, and potentially nonstationarity of time series. We consider two types of tail-robust autocovariance matrix estimation methods: the element-wise Huber's $M$-estimator and a computationally more efficient element-wise truncated estimator. Both estimators are designed to achieve sharp error bounds in matrix…
