自适应 Lasso 解路径单位根检验的自助法改进AI 解读

We propose sieve wild bootstrap analogues to the adaptive Lasso solution path unit root tests of Arnold and Reinschlüssel (2024) arXiv:2404.06205 to improve finite sample properties and extend their applicability to a generalised framework, allowing for non-stationary volatility. Numerical evidence shows the bootstrap to improve the tests' precision for error processes that promote spurious rejections of the unit root null, depending on the detrending procedure. The…

We show that the activation knot of a potentially non-stationary regressor on the adaptive Lasso solution path in autoregressions can be leveraged for selection-free inference about a unit root. The resulting test has asymptotic power against local alternatives in $1/T$ neighbourhoods, unlike post-selection inference methods based on consistent model selection. Exploiting the information enrichment principle devised by Reinschlüssel and Arnold (arXiv:2402.16580 [stat.ME]) to…

利用信息增强自适应 Lasso 选择平稳与非平稳自回归模型AI 解读

We propose a novel approach to elicit the weight of a potentially non-stationary regressor in the consistent and oracle-efficient estimation of autoregressive models using the adaptive Lasso. The enhanced weight builds on a statistic that exploits distinct orders in probability of the OLS estimator in time series regressions when the degree of integration differs. We provide theoretical results on the benefit of our approach for detecting stationarity when a tuning criterion…

用循环神经网络预测自回归非因果过程AI 解读

This paper examines the use of recurrent neural networks and their extensions for forecasting autoregressive causal-noncausal processes, characterized by local explosive patterns such as bubbles and spikes. We study the recurrent neural networks (RNN), long short-term memory networks (LSTM), gated recurrent unit (GRU), bidirectional LSTM, and also a simple feed-forward network (FNN) to reveal the difficulty of forecasting extreme values depending on the type of network and…

协整回归变量：折叠凹惩罚何时超越 LASSOAI 解读

LASSO is one of the most popular regularization methods for high-dimensional regression models. While cointegration is common in practical applications of predictive regressions with many regressors, the convex penalty of LASSO overly suppresses the coefficients of cointegrated regressors and therefore fails to deliver consistent parameter estimation. We employ folded concave penalties (FCP), including the well-known SCAD and MCP, to address this issue. Using FCP, we…

高维 Ornstein–Uhlenbeck 过程漂移项的稀疏估计AI 解读

We study sparsity-regularized maximum likelihood estimation for the drift parameter of high-dimensional non-stationary Ornstein--Uhlenbeck processes given repeated measurements of i.i.d. paths. In particular, we show that Lasso and Slope estimators can achieve the minimax optimal rate of convergence. We exhibit numerical experiments for sparse estimation methods and show their performance.

高维近似因子时间序列模型的主成分分析：假设、渐近理论与识别AI 解读

We consider estimation of large approximate factor models in high-dimensional panels of stationary time series using Principal Component Analysis (PCA). We review the key results establishing the necessary and sufficient conditions for consistency and asymptotic normality of the estimators, which hold when both the cross-sectional dimension $n$ and the sample size $T$ tend to infinity. Special emphasis is placed on identification. First, we show that the common and…

We propose a dynamic multiplicative factor model for process data arising from complex problem-solving items, an emerging type of data in large-scale educational assessment. The proposed model can be viewed as an extension of the classical frailty models developed in survival analysis for multivariate recurrent event times, but with two important distinctions: (i) the factor (frailty) is of primary interest; (ii) covariates are internal and embedded in the factor. It allows…

基于深度可分离神经网络的混频时间序列预测AI 解读

To better forecast mixed-frequency time series, it is the key to choose a suitable way for frequency alignment. However, the existing methods are all limited to linear transformations, and this may overlook the possible nonlinearity, leading to a worse prediction. We alternatively consider a deep neural network for each frequency alignment, and hence a depth-separable neural network. Moreover, a parameter-sharing mechanism is adopted across the alignment at each stage,…

标量对函数回归中的函数型预测变量选择与平滑系数估计AI 解读

In the framework of scalar-on-function regression models, in which several functional variables are employed to predict a scalar response, we propose a methodology for selecting relevant functional predictors while simultaneously providing accurate smooth (or, more generally, regular) estimates of the functional coefficients. We suppose that the functional predictors belong to a real separable Hilbert space, while the functional coefficients belong to a specific subspace of…

跨空间时间序列的预测驱动推断AI 解读

The following motif is common in spatiotemporal settings: we have a sequence of covariate and label pairs observed for a relatively short, recent time period. We have access to unlabeled covariates over a longer time period. Data is observed over many spatial locations. For instance, crop yield might be observed over a large geographical area for recent years, but weather data (which is informative about crop yield) is available for a much longer period. The goal is to…

高维矩阵时间序列均值与协方差的多重变点检测AI 解读

This paper studies simultaneous change point detection in the first- and second-order structures of high-dimensional matrix-valued time series. Specifically, we extend the framework of main effect factor models to accommodate multiple change points so that shifts in the mean and covariance structures are characterized by changes in the trend-stationary main effects main effects and in the factor-driven common components, respectively. Under this framework, the two types of…

用于多元时间序列的逆交叉谱神经网络AI 解读

CoVariance Neural Networks and their extensions have emerged as effective tools for processing multivariate data, deriving graph shift operators directly from second-order statistics. These architectures, however, are designed for independent and identically distributed observations and do not fully capture the joint structure of temporal and cross-variable dependencies in multivariate time series. In this work, we introduce Inverse Cross-Spectral Neural Networks (iCSNNs), a…

通过正交化自适应估计发现存在混杂的时间序列因果滞后结构AI 解读

Finding which variables cause which others in multivariate time series, and at what lags, is central to science and policy, yet existing methods force a choice between flexible confounder adjustment, data-driven lag selection, and inference that controls the false discovery rate (FDR). ORACLE-VARX does all three in one pipeline. First, double/debiased machine learning (DML) removes nonlinear confounder effects from the outcomes and the lagged series. Second, adaptive causal…

具有个性化多样性的个性化联邦向量自回归AI 解读

Personalized federated learning can improve estimation for high-dimensional time series while preserving client-specific dynamics. However, parameter heterogeneity creates a fundamental ambiguity between shared and personalized structure. We introduce the principle of personalization diversity, under which genuinely personalized effects recur in only a limited fraction of clients. Based on this principle, we propose PerFeCT-VAR, Personalized Federated Vector Autoregression…

Comparing dependence structures between two related multivariate time series is of fundamental interest in many scientific applications, where changes may occur in both directed temporal interactions and contemporaneous connectivity. Modeling each time series by a vector autoregressive (VAR) model, we propose a new framework for estimation and inference of differential Granger causality (DiffGC) and differential network (DiffNet) structures in high dimensions. The proposed…

多维速度变化检测中惩罚最大似然估计的一致性AI 解读

We establish statistical consistency for the penalized maximum-likelihood estimator underlying CPLASS, a method for detecting changes in velocity in $d$-dimensional time-series data. The signal is modeled as a continuous piecewise-linear trajectory observed with independent Gaussian noise. Unlike classical change-in-mean models, continuity across adjacent segments couples their parameters and prevents direct application of standard segmentation arguments. Under compact…

异方差噪声下高维时间序列的因子模型估计AI 解读

Factor modeling provides a framework for extracting common components from high-dimensional time series. We develop an estimator of the factor loading space that combines contemporaneous covariance with lagged autocovariance information. Under cross-sectionally heteroskedastic white noise, the contemporaneous covariance contains heterogeneous diagonal noise contributions. We apply the existing HeteroPCA algorithm to the combined estimation matrix to correct this…

张量因子模型中多个变点的检测与模态识别AI 解读

We study the problem of modeling high-dimensional tensor-valued time series under a Tucker decomposition-based factor model while permitting the presence of multiple structural change points. Such data call for a method that (i) handles high dimensionality and complex dependence while achieving consistency in multiple change points and further, (ii) addresses a unique challenge posed by the multi-dimensional array setting, of identifying the modes associated with each change…

高维非线性因子模型的最优估计AI 解读

This paper studies optimal estimation of large-dimensional nonlinear factor models. The key challenge is that the observed variables are possibly nonlinear functions of some latent variables, with the functional forms left unspecified. A local principal component analysis method combining K-nearest neighbors matching and principal component analysis is proposed to estimate the factor structure and recover information on latent variables and latent functions. Large-sample…

高维椭圆因子模型中主特征值与特征向量的两样本检验AI 解读

Changes in principal eigenvalues and eigendirections provide complementary diagnostics of structural instability in factor models, but covariance-based inference can be unreliable under heavy tails. We develop two-sample tests for equality of these features of trace-normalized shape matrices under high-dimensional elliptical factor models. Our approach combines Tyler's identity with orthogonalization and cross-fitting to accommodate general location and precision pilots. We…

欧元区货币政策传导是否存在不对称性？AI 解读

We answer the question posed in the title with a nonlinear mixed-frequency vector autoregression, estimated with Bayesian additive regression trees. The model combines monthly macro-financial variables with quarterly bank lending survey data, and identifies the dynamic responses from high-frequency policy surprises. Sign asymmetry dominates; a tightening produces monetary policy transmission mostly in line with the theoretical predictions, whereas easing of any size produces…

用收缩先验建模动态相关矩阵AI 解读

Estimating time-varying correlation matrices is challenging because existing methods may adapt slowly to structural changes, impose insufficient regularization, or produce diffuse posterior uncertainty. In moderate dimensions, an additional difficulty is summarizing the estimated evolving dependence structure for downstream decision-making tasks. We propose a Bayesian approach based on a low-rank factor representation, with latent states evolving under a dynamic shrinkage…

高维白噪声的自适应 L2 型检验AI 解读

We propose a new $L_2$-type test for white noise which allows the dimension $p$ of the time series to either (i) be a fixed constant, or (ii) diverge with the sample size $n$. The proposed test statistic exhibits an interesting phase transition, following two different regimes of behavior: $p$ is fixed, and $p\rightarrow\infty$. Because identification of the operable regime is difficult, if not impossible in practice, we devise a novel adaptive bootstrap method to construct…
