面向高维异质数据的无模型、分布稳健特征筛选与错误发现控制AI 解读

In this paper, we propose a model-free feature screening framework tailored for high-dimensional and heterogeneous datasets, based on a novel distributionally robust dependence measure termed Copula Divergence. The proposed screening method, named CD-Screen, addresses critical limitations of existing feature screening methods, such as restrictive modeling assumptions and sensitivity to heterogeneous feature distributions. CD-Screen ranks features according to their Copula…

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AI 解读

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…

借助外生变量改进新冠疫情预测AI 解读

In this work, we study the pandemic course in the United States by considering national and state levels data. We propose and compare multiple time-series prediction techniques which incorporate auxiliary variables. One type of approach is based on spatio-temporal graph neural networks which forecast the pandemic course by utilizing a hybrid deep learning architecture and human mobility data. Nodes in this graph represent the state-level deaths due to COVID-19, edges…

FarmTest：近似控制错误发现比例的因子调整稳健多重检验AI 解读

Large-scale multiple testing with correlated and heavy-tailed data arises in a wide range of research areas from genomics, medical imaging to finance. Conventional methods for estimating the false discovery proportion (FDP) often ignore the effect of heavy-tailedness and the dependence structure among test statistics, and thus may lead to inefficient or even inconsistent estimation. Also, the commonly imposed joint normality assumption is arguably too stringent for many…

增广因子模型：市场风险因子验证与债券风险溢价预测AI 解读

We study factor models augmented by observed covariates that have explanatory powers on the unknown factors. In financial factor models, the unknown factors can be reasonably well explained by a few observable proxies, such as the Fama-French factors. In diffusion index forecasts, identified factors are strongly related to several directly measurable economic variables such as consumption-wealth variable, financial ratios, and term spread. With those covariates, both the…

因子调整的正则化模型选择AI 解读

This paper studies model selection consistency for high dimensional sparse regression when data exhibits both cross-sectional and serial dependency. Most commonly-used model selection methods fail to consistently recover the true model when the covariates are highly correlated. Motivated by econometric studies, we consider the case where covariate dependence can be reduced through factor model, and propose a consistent strategy named Factor-Adjusted Regularized Model…
