通过噪声正则化实现经济预测中的良性过拟合AI 解读

This paper studies linear overparameterized models in economic forecasting and highlights that including noise variables (regressors with no predictive power) regularizes the estimator. We consider a setting where both the outcome variable and the high-dimensional predictors are driven by a small number of latent factors, and show that the linear forecast model is dense rather than sparse. It turns out that a ridgeless regression augmented with noise predictors attains the…

资产定价中机器学习预测的不确定性AI 解读

Machine learning in asset pricing typically predicts expected returns as point estimates, ignoring uncertainty. We develop new methods to construct forecast confidence intervals for expected returns obtained from neural networks. We show that neural network forecasts of expected returns share the same asymptotic distribution as classic nonparametric methods, enabling a closed-form expression for their standard errors. We also propose a computationally feasible bootstrap to…
