矩阵值 CP 因子模型的识别问题与准极大似然估计AI 解读

Matrix-valued time series, arising in diverse fields such as economics, neuroscience, and recommender systems, have become increasingly prominent in modern data analysis. Among various modeling frameworks, the matrix-variate CP-factor model represents an important and widely applicable class for capturing low-rank structures in matrix time series. In this paper, we provide a unified treatment for the identification problem of CP factor models using both analytic and…

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.

ARMA 过程谱密度函数的分解AI 解读

Quasi-periodic oscillations are characterized by fitting Lorentzian functions to a nonparametric estimate of the power spectral density, a two-step procedure that separates estimation from modeling and does not accommodate measurement error. We develop a parametric alternative based on autoregressive moving-average (ARMA) processes observed with measurement error. We derive an exact decomposition of the ARMA spectral density into real-valued components, one for each class of…

区间值圆周时间序列：环面得分驱动方法及其在风向中的应用AI 解读

Circular data recorded over time, such as wind direction, are increasingly observed in intervals rather than as single point-valued observations, yet no existing framework accommodates data that are simultaneously circular, interval-valued, and temporally dependent. Time series models for point-valued circular data, including recently proposed score-driven approaches, assume that each observation is a single angle. This paper addresses this gap by proposing a dynamic…

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…

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…

混合模型的 Whittle 似然及其地下水位时间序列应用AI 解读

Understanding the processes that influence groundwater levels is crucial for forecasting and responding to hazards such as groundwater droughts. Mixed models, which combine a fixed mean, expressed using independent predictors, with autocorrelated random errors, are used for inference, forecasting and filling in missing values in groundwater level time series. Estimating parameters of mixed models using maximum likelihood has high computational complexity. For large datasets,…

Hájek 卷积定理的二阶扩展及统计应用AI 解读

For a class of regular estimators, Hájek, in his celebrated ``Convolution Theorem,'' showed that the asymptotic distribution of a regular estimator is the convolution of the distribution of an efficient estimator and some residual distribution. This result constitutes the foundation of the concept of asymptotic efficiency of regular estimators. In this paper, we provide a second-order version of that classical result. Introducing a class of second-order regular estimators…

Tensor-BEKK：张量时间序列的条件协方差建模与推断AI 解读

Modern economic and financial data are increasingly organized as multiway arrays, with observations indexed simultaneously by geographic regions, industrial sectors, asset categories, and other economic characteristics. Representing such data as tensor-valued time series preserves their intrinsic multiway structure. Although substantial effort has been devoted to modeling the conditional mean of tensor-valued time series, comparatively less attention has been paid to their…

拟最大似然断点估计的锐信噪比阈值AI 解读

We establish a sharp pathwise signal-to-noise criterion for quasi-maximum-likelihood (QML) estimation of a dominant breakpoint in the second-moment structure of a multivariate time series: the QML estimator is consistent whenever the between-regime contrast exceeds the within-regime fluctuation by an explicit factor, and below this threshold global recovery can fail. Two innovations drive the result. First, the framework is pathwise: no stochastic model is imposed on the…

离散抽样或时间聚合自回归模型的参数识别与推断AI 解读

I consider an AR($p$) process that is observed every $q$ periods, either as a snapshot (stock variable) or as a sum over the sampling interval (flow variable). I first characterize the resulting ARMA process followed by observables. Under fairly mild assumptions, I then derive the identified set for general lag lengths $p \in \mathbb{N}$ and sampling frequencies $q \in \mathbb{N}$, I bound its cardinality, and I provide an algorithm to compute all candidate points and…

具有动态离散度的时空负二项模型：结核感染应用AI 解读

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a critical public health concern in Brazil, characterized by pronounced spatial heterogeneity and fluctuating temporal volatility. In this paper, we study monthly TB notifications across 61 microregions of Sao Paulo state from 2001 to 2024. To do this, we introduce a negative binomial spatial integer-valued generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedastic (INGARCH) model featuring jointly dynamic conditional means and time-varying dispersion.…

基于分位数的 Kumaraswamy–Teissier 自回归移动平均模型AI 解读

This paper introduces a quantile-based Kumaraswamy-Teissier autoregressive moving average (KTARMA) model for positive-valued time series. Leveraging the flexibility of the extended Kumaraswamy-Teissier distribution within an observation-driven framework, the random component of the distribution is conditioned on the historical process and time-varying covariates, and is parameterized explicitly via its $ρ$-th conditional quantile, where $ρ\in (0,1)$. To capture temporal…

弱依赖非线性时间序列模型准似然估计量的一致高斯近似AI 解读

We study estimation and inference for a semiparametric class of time series models that specify only the conditional expectation, which is a known link function applied to a linear combination of past observations and covariates. The class covers count, binary, bounded and conditionally heteroskedastic responses within a single formulation, and the parameter is estimated by a quasi-likelihood estimating equation based on the first conditional moment. Under stationarity and a…

广义自回归多变量模型：从二元过程到泊松过程AI 解读

This paper presents a framework for binary autoregressive time series in which each observation is a Bernoulli variable whose success probability evolves with past outcomes and probabilities, in the spirit of GARCH-type dynamics, accommodating nonlinearities, network interactions, and cross-sectional dependence in the multivariate case. Existence and uniqueness of a stationary solution is established via a coupling argument tailored to the discontinuities inherent in binary…

利用多分位数稳健检验多变量波动率的结构变化AI 解读

We propose an omnibus nonparametric test for structural changes in the multivariate volatility matrix. The test aggregates bounded generalized quantile scores over a range of quantile levels and has a weighted leave-$q$-out $U$-statistic representation. Deleting nearby index pairs renders the centering effect induced by serial dependence asymptotically negligible. All quantities required for implementation, including the variance estimator used for standardization, are…

用多项式最大化方法估计具有非对称非高斯新息的 ARIMA 模型AI 解读

Classical estimators for ARIMA parameters (MLE, CSS, OLS) assume Gaussian innovations, an assumption frequently violated in financial and economic data exhibiting asymmetric distributions with heavy tails. We develop and validate the second-order polynomial maximization method (PMM2) for estimating ARIMA$(p,d,q)$ models with non-Gaussian innovations. PMM2 is a semiparametric technique that exploits higher-order moments and cumulants without requiring full distributional…

可扩展的 VARMA 模型估计AI 解读

Vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA) models have long been considered impractical beyond moderate dimensions: the likelihood is non-convex, the parametrization is identified only up to equivalence, and every evaluation costs a pass over the entire series. Yet their moving-average term captures with a few parameters what a pure autoregression matches only with many lags. We introduce an estimation framework that removes this computational barrier: each optimization…

用变换与增广最小二乘估计地球温度响应AI 解读

The long-term relationship between radiative forcing and surface temperature is central to predicting the impacts of climate change. This study employs multicointegration to characterize this relationship and provides the first application of the Transformed and Augmented Ordinary Least Squares (TAOLS) estimator to estimate the multicointegration model. The main objective is to estimate the Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS), defined as the global mean surface temperature…

通过前向比值稳健估计自相关函数AI 解读

It is obvious to say that an adequate estimation of the autocorrelation function is central in time series analysis. In this paper, we propose three new robust estimators based on ratios of observations, which offer strong resistance against outliers. While the first estimator, which is based on the median, is not efficient, the second is a Quasi Maximum Likelihood (QML) estimator with better efficiency properties. The third estimator is a plug-in estimator, which does not…

高维二元响应广义线性模型中的多重检验非线性提升AI 解读

This paper proposes a nonlinear boosting with multiple testing (BMT) approach to variable selection in high-dimensional generalised linear models with binary responses. At each stage of the BMT procedure, the model is updated by adding only the most significant covariate, conditional on those already selected in previous stages, while taking into account the multiple testing nature of the problem. It is shown that, under the stated conditions, the BMT procedure selects all…

两个高斯冲击已过多：非高斯结构 VAR 的自助法识别诊断AI 解读

Standard pre-tests of normality on reduced-form innovations are insufficient to detect two or more Gaussian shocks and hence, the failure of identification in non-Gaussian SVARs. We instead propose a bootstrap-based approach to evaluate the asymptotic validity of this condition by measuring the divergence between the conditional bootstrap distribution of a maximum likelihood estimator and its limiting distribution under valid identification. We show that, under valid…

调查时间序列的贝叶斯季节调整AI 解读

Seasonal adjustment procedures used by national statistical offices -- X-11 and X-12-ARIMA -- treat each survey estimate as an exact observation, discarding the accompanying standard errors that survey methodologists routinely compute. This paper closes that gap by embedding time-varying sampling error variances into a Basic Structural Model (BSM), extending a recently proposed Dynamic Mini-Max (DMM) Bayesian framework for survey estimation. Via the Harvey-Todd equivalence,…

分数高斯过程的复合似然推断与序贯最优子集选择AI 解读

The composite likelihood method reduces the computational cost of parameter estimation in time series by considering several subsets of observations instead of all observations at once. The asymptotic properties of this method are related to the Godambe information, an extension of the Fisher information that accounts for the dependence between subsets of observations. We aim to apply this method to linear Gaussian models, in particular fractional Brownian motion and…
