大维因子模型的 Huber 主成分分析AI 解读

Factor models have been widely used in economics and finance. However, the heavy-tailed nature of macroeconomic and financial data is often neglected in the existing literature. To address this issue and achieve robustness, we propose an approach to estimate factor loadings and scores by minimizing the Huber loss function, which is motivated by the equivalence of conventional Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and the constrained least squares method in the factor model. We…

大型已实现协方差矩阵预测：因子模型与收缩的作用AI 解读

We propose a model to forecast large realized covariance matrices of returns, applying it to the constituents of the S\&P 500 daily. To address the curse of dimensionality, we decompose the return covariance matrix using standard firm-level factors (e.g., size, value, and profitability) and use sectoral restrictions in the residual covariance matrix. This restricted model is then estimated using vector heterogeneous autoregressive (VHAR) models with the least absolute…

用于股市波动率预测的网络 log-ARCH 模型AI 解读

This paper presents a novel dynamic network autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (ARCH) model based on spatiotemporal ARCH models to forecast volatility in the US stock market. To improve the forecasting accuracy, the model integrates temporally lagged volatility information and information from adjacent nodes, which may instantaneously spill across the entire network. The model is also suitable for high-dimensional cases where multivariate ARCH models are typically…

函数型数据中随机偏微分方程实现协变差的可行中心极限定理AI 解读

This article establishes an asymptotic theory for volatility estimation in an infinite-dimensional setting. We consider mild solutions of semilinear stochastic partial differential equations and derive a stable central limit theorem for the semigroup adjusted realised covariation (SARCV), which is a consistent estimator of the integrated volatility and a generalisation of the realised quadratic covariation to Hilbert spaces. Moreover, we introduce semigroup adjusted…

等相关正态总体的相关矩阵：最大特征值波动、谱主体缩放与股票市场AI 解读

Given an $N$-dimensional sample of size $T$ and form a sample correlation matrix $\mathbf{C}$. Suppose that $N$ and $T$ tend to infinity with $T/N $ converging to a fixed finite constant $Q>0$. If the population is a factor model, then the eigenvalue distribution of $\mathbf{C}$ almost surely converges weakly to Marčenko-Pastur distribution such that the index is $Q$ and the scale parameter is the limiting ratio of the specific variance to the $i$-th variable $(i\to\infty)$.…

含大量协变量的大规模面板数据推断AI 解读

This paper proposes a novel testing procedure for selecting a sparse set of covariates that explains a large dimensional panel. Our selection method provides correct false detection control while having higher power than existing approaches. We develop the inferential theory for large panels with many covariates by combining post-selection inference with a novel multiple testing adjustment. Our data-driven hypotheses are conditional on the sparse covariate selection. We…

HAR–Itô 模型与高频数据的高维 HAR 建模AI 解读

It is an important task to model realized volatilities for high-frequency data in finance and economics and, as arguably the most popular model, the heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) model has dominated the applications in this area. However, this model suffers from three drawbacks: (i.) its heterogeneous volatility components are linear combinations of daily realized volatilities with fixed weights, which limit its flexibility for different types of assets, (ii.) it is…

无限变差跳跃与相关市场微观结构噪声下的瞬时波动率估计AI 解读

Jumps and market microstructure noise are stylized features of high-frequency financial data. It is well known that they introduce bias in the estimation of volatility (including integrated and spot volatilities) of assets, and many methods have been proposed to deal with this problem. When the jumps are intensive with infinite variation, the efficient estimation of spot volatility under serially dependent noise is not available and is thus in need. For this purpose, we…

多元因子随机波动率模型的序贯估计AI 解读

We provide a simple method to estimate the parameters of multivariate stochastic volatility models with latent factor structures. These models are very useful as they alleviate the standard curse of dimensionality, allowing the number of parameters to increase only linearly with the number of the return series. Although theoretically very appealing, these models have only found limited practical application due to huge computational burdens. Our estimation method is simple…

欧洲碳与能源价格的波动和依赖关系建模AI 解读

We study the prices of European Emission Allowances (EUA), whereby we analyze their uncertainty and dependencies on related energy prices (natural gas, coal, and oil). We propose a probabilistic multivariate conditional time series model with a VECM-Copula-GARCH structure which exploits key characteristics of the data. Data are normalized with respect to inflation and carbon emissions to allow for proper cross-series evaluation. The forecasting performance is evaluated in an…

参数位于边界的时间序列模型：惩罚准似然估计与模型选择AI 解读

We extend the theory from Fan and Li (2001) on penalized likelihood-based estimation and model-selection to statistical and econometric models which allow for non-negativity constraints on some or all of the parameters, as well as time-series dependence. It differs from classic non-penalized likelihood estimation, where limiting distributions of likelihood-based estimators and test-statistics are non-standard, and depend on the unknown number of parameters on the boundary of…

预测限价订单簿中间价动态的贝叶斯双线性神经网络AI 解读

The prediction of financial markets is a challenging yet important task. In modern electronically-driven markets, traditional time-series econometric methods often appear incapable of capturing the true complexity of the multi-level interactions driving the price dynamics. While recent research has established the effectiveness of traditional machine learning (ML) models in financial applications, their intrinsic inability to deal with uncertainties, which is a great concern…

隐半马尔可夫模型的序贯贝叶斯学习AI 解读

In this paper, we explore the class of the Hidden Semi-Markov Model (HSMM), a flexible extension of the popular Hidden Markov Model (HMM) that allows the underlying stochastic process to be a semi-Markov chain. HSMMs are typically used less frequently than their basic HMM counterpart due to the increased computational challenges when evaluating the likelihood function. Moreover, while both models are sequential in nature, parameter estimation is mainly conducted via batch…

通过 MCMC 实现经典估计的方法AI 解读

This paper studies computationally and theoretically attractive estimators called the Laplace type estimators (LTE), which include means and quantiles of Quasi-posterior distributions defined as transformations of general (non-likelihood-based) statistical criterion functions, such as those in GMM, nonlinear IV, empirical likelihood, and minimum distance methods. The approach generates an alternative to classical extremum estimation and also falls outside the parametric…

加性单指标协整时间序列模型的稳健 M 估计AI 解读

Robust M-estimation uses loss functions, such as least absolute deviation (LAD), quantile loss and Huber's loss, to construct its objective function, in order to for example eschew the impact of outliers, whereas the difficulty in analysing the resultant estimators rests on the nonsmoothness of these losses. Generalized functions have advantages over ordinary functions in several aspects, especially generalized functions possess derivatives of any order. Generalized…

高频尾部风险测度：含单位根预测变量的 L1 正则化极值回归AI 解读

We study tail risk dynamics in high-frequency financial markets and their connection with trading activity and market uncertainty. We introduce a dynamic extreme value regression model accommodating both stationary and local unit-root predictors to appropriately capture the time-varying behaviour of the distribution of high-frequency extreme losses. To characterize trading activity and market uncertainty, we consider several volatility and liquidity predictors, and propose a…

马科维茨投资组合的稳健化AI 解读

Markowitz mean-variance portfolios with sample mean and covariance as input parameters feature numerous issues in practice. They perform poorly out of sample due to estimation error, they experience extreme weights together with high sensitivity to change in input parameters. The heavy-tail characteristics of financial time series are in fact the cause for these erratic fluctuations of weights that consequently create substantial transaction costs. In robustifying the…

利用函数主成分分析检验利率期限结构模型的误设AI 解读

Level, slope, and curvature are three commonly-believed principal components in interest rate term structure and are thus widely used in modeling. This paper characterizes the heterogeneity of how misspecified such models are through time. Presenting the orthonormal basis in the Nelson-Siegel model interpretable as the three factors, we design two nonparametric tests for whether the basis is equivalent to the data-driven functional principal component basis underlying the…

利用全球与国家因子模型分析大型波动率矩阵AI 解读

Several large volatility matrix inference procedures have been developed, based on the latent factor model. They often assumed that there are a few of common factors, which can account for volatility dynamics. However, several studies have demonstrated the presence of local factors. In particular, when analyzing the global stock market, we often observe that nation-specific factors explain their own country's volatility dynamics. To account for this, we propose the Double…

随机过程的 Moate 模拟方法AI 解读

A novel approach called Moate Simulation is presented to provide an accurate numerical evolution of probability distribution functions represented on grids arising from stochastic differential processes where initial conditions are specified. Where the variables of stochastic differential equations may be transformed via Itô-Doeblin calculus into stochastic differentials with a constant diffusion term, the probability distribution function for these variables can be…

非线性马尔可夫链收敛界的估计与应用AI 解读

Nonlinear Markov Chains (nMC) are regarded as the original (linear) Markov Chains with nonlinear small perturbations. It fits real-world data better, but its associated properties are difficult to describe. A new approach is proposed to analyze the ergodicity and even estimate the convergence bounds of nMC, which is more precise than existing results. In the new method, Coupling Markov about homogeneous Markov chains is applied to reconstitute the relationship between…

混合根与维度增长下的预测分位数回归：ALQR 方法AI 解读

In this paper we propose the adaptive lasso for predictive quantile regression (ALQR). Reflecting empirical findings, we allow predictors to have various degrees of persistence and exhibit different signal strengths. The number of predictors is allowed to grow with the sample size. We study regularity conditions under which stationary, local unit root, and cointegrated predictors are present simultaneously. We next show the convergence rates, model selection consistency, and…

含外生协变量的因子 Copula 模型：估计与推断AI 解读

A factor copula model is proposed in which factors are either simulable or estimable from exogenous information. Point estimation and inference are based on a simulated methods of moments (SMM) approach with non-overlapping simulation draws. Consistency and limiting normality of the estimator is established and the validity of bootstrap standard errors is shown. Doing so, previous results from the literature are verified under low-level conditions imposed on the individual…

非平稳时间序列的泛函估计与变化检测AI 解读

Tests for structural breaks in time series should ideally be sensitive to breaks in the parameter of interest, while being robust to nuisance changes. Statistical analysis thus needs to allow for some form of nonstationarity under the null hypothesis of no change. In this paper, estimators for integrated parameters of locally stationary time series are constructed and a corresponding functional central limit theorem is established, enabling change-point inference for a broad…
