时间序列共形预测的覆盖率：有效性与推断AI 解读

Conformal prediction provides marginal coverage guarantees, yet practitioners may wonder if the observed coverage is truly abnormal or consistent with sampling variation. Inference for realized coverage has received comparatively little attention, especially for time series. We study split conformal prediction with adjacent calibration and test sets of temporally dependent data. Using the functional dependence measure, we derive non-asymptotic bounds on marginal coverage…

时间序列中有效且高效的分割共形回归AI 解读

We study conformalized quantile regression and conformalized median regression that fit a model on one block of a time series and calibrate the conformal interval on the adjacent block. The existing theory of conformal prediction for time series rests largely on mixing conditions, which are hard to verify from a time-series model and fail for many standard processes, including simple ones with short memory. We replace this theoretical toolbox with the functional dependence…

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…

阈值原理、神经网络联系与计量经济学传承札记AI 解读

This is mostly a non-technical note, reflecting the author's philosophy and personal views on time series analysis, with references limited to only a few representatives for brevity. The Threshold Principle, formally announced in Tong (1990), modernised time series analysis by introducing a collection of sub-systems to model complex nonlinear dynamics. We explore the conceptual architecture of the Threshold Principle drawing parallels and contrasts with artificial neural…

线性模型中的最优检验及其因果推断含义AI 解读

Despite its widespread use in practice, multiple regression suffers from two important limitations due to ignoring the structure between predictors. First, reported coefficients are, in fact, direct effects in a causal context. These are often less meaningful than total effects when accounting for a factor's contribution, however, estimating the latter typically requires a causal diagram to be specified among predictors. The second limitation is multicollinearity, which…

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…

通过专家损失整合实现时间序列预测的专家混合快速训练AI 解读

We propose a novel Mixture-of-Experts framework, referred to as Expert Loss Integration MoE (EliMoE), for time series forecasting. EliMoE addresses the optimization problem arising from small gating weights by incorporating expert-specific losses, which provide each expert with a direct learning signal independent of the gate-assigned weight. Specifically, the overall objective comprises the base forecasting loss and expert-specific losses, allowing individual expert…

弱依赖估计方程的两点依赖野生自助法AI 解读

This paper develops a general two-point dependent wild bootstrap (DWB) for weakly dependent estimating equations. Its key feature is that the two-point marginal distribution and the latent serial dependence specification can be chosen separately. The construction combines a normalized two-point distribution with a stationary latent Gaussian process via a Gaussian copula transformation, includes dependent Rademacher and Mammen multipliers, and nests the classical iid…

图结构时间序列的滤波共形预测椭球AI 解读

Joint prediction sets for multivariate time series should control a single event while adapting to cross-coordinate dependence. We study filtered conformal ellipsoids: a frozen state-space filter emits a one-step predictive mean and covariance, and split-conformal calibration is applied to the resulting Mahalanobis scores. The filter is used to choose the ellipsoid shape; conformal calibration chooses the scalar radius, so the construction benefits from a learned predictive…

部分观测生存曲线的动态因子与双重 PCA 模型：短租需求预测AI 解读

This paper develops prediction models for population-level survival curves observed over time and sampled from a heterogeneous mix of populations. We consider a discrete-time setting where each curve is only partially observed and forecasts of the remaining trajectory are needed for downstream decision making. Our approach recasts cross-population heterogeneity into a multivariate sampling model. We propose two forecasting models for partially observed curves: a full factor…

基于时延嵌入置信界的拓扑周期性检验AI 解读

Time-delay embedding is a fundamental technique in Topological Data Analysis (TDA) for reconstructing phase-space dynamics of time-series data, where persistent homology can reveal loops associated with periodicity. However, rigorous statistical uncertainty quantification for these features remains underdeveloped. First, we analyze the topology of time-delay embeddings, showing that the embedded trajectory is homotopy equivalent to a circle ($S^1$) for periodic signals and…

经过误差修正的组合预测AI 解读

This paper proposes corrected forecast combinations when the original combined forecast errors are serially dependent. Motivated by the classic Bates and Granger (1969) example, we show that combined forecast errors can be strongly autocorrelated and that a simple correction, which adds a fraction of the previous combined error to the next-period combined forecast, can deliver sizable improvements in forecast accuracy, often exceeding the original gains from combining. We…

长记忆时间序列的高维高斯图模型检验AI 解读

Many real-world high-dimensional time series exhibit long-memory, but Gaussian graphical model testing in this regime remains understudied. We develop a direct, data-adaptive test statistic for assessing conditional independence in the graph structure of stationary Gaussian time series. We establish a finite-sample, Berry--Esseen type Gaussian approximation bound for the statistic, which applies to both short-memory and long-memory time series. The testing procedure is fully…

近积分近白噪声框架下 M 类单位根检验的刻画AI 解读

We derive the limiting distributions of the $M$-test family of unit root statistics in the nearly integrated nearly white noise (NINW) framework introduced by Nabeya and Perron (1994) in the case of an unknown linear time trend. In the case of known long run variance (LRV), the limiting distributions of the $M^{GLS}$ tests are contaminated by additional noise terms as a result of quasi differencing whereas these terms are less present in the $M^{OLS}$ limiting distributions,…

难处理似然的多变量极值模型代理似然估计AI 解读

Many multivariate extremes models have intractable likelihoods requiring practitioners to use alternative fitting methods. The tail pairwise dependence is a summary measure of the dependence in the tail of any multivariate regular variation model. We develop an objective function for model fitting that relies on the tail pairwise dependence as the link between our desired model (that does not have a likelihood) and a proxy model (that has a likelihood). We employ the…

利用最佳顺序得分搜索学习时间序列因果结构AI 解读

Causal structure learning from observational data is central to many scientific and policy domains, but the time series setting common to many disciplines poses several challenges due to temporal dependence. In this paper we focus on score-based causal discovery for multivariate time series and introduce TS-BOSS, a time series extension of the recently proposed Best Order Score Search (BOSS) (Andrews et al. 2023). TS-BOSS performs a permutation-based search over dynamic…

时间序列的高斯过程建模AI 解读

Gaussian processes (GPs) provide a flexible nonparametric framework for modeling time series through appropriately chosen kernel functions. This chapter introduces the basic formulation of Gaussian processes, commonly used kernels, GP regression, hyperparameter estimation, and model evaluation using in-sample and out-of-sample criteria. Applications to stationary, quasi-periodic, and seasonal time series illustrate how individual and composite kernels can represent different…

glmSTARMA：广义线性时空自回归模型的 R 包AI 解读

The R package glmSTARMA implements autoregressive models for spatio-temporal data at fixed locations, with time-invariant spatial dependency structure. We rely on generalized linear models methodology and unify several approaches for the analysis of spatial count time series. Such models allow the (conditional) mean of the response to depend on past observations, lagged (conditional) expectations, and covariates. The response can be a continuous or a discrete random…

利用 ASCA 建模时间序列的周期平稳性AI 解读

Modern data analysis across diverse disciplines increasingly relies on time series. Many of these datasets exhibit cyclostationarity, where patterns approximately repeat in a regular manner, often across multiple time scales, such as daily, weekly or yearly cycles. In this context, statistical inference is essential to distinguish genuine underlying effects from random variability. While tools like Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) provide such inference, they often lack…

对象值时间序列中的长程依赖度量AI 解读

Object-valued time series, including distributions, covariance matrices, networks, and compositions, lack the linear structure required by conventional autocovariance-based definitions of long memory. We develop an intrinsic framework for defining and estimating long memory in metric spaces of negative type. An isometric embedding yields a centered Hilbert-valued process, and the trace of its lag-covariance operator provides a signed, additive measure of temporal dependence.…

矩阵时间序列的降秩自回归模型AI 解读

Matrix time series is a series of matrix data observed over time. Analytical tools for such time series is needed in many applications in finance, economics, engineering and many other fields. To avoid the use of vectorization of the matrices which loses the column and row information, and the vector autoregression framework in traditional time series analysis, \cite{chen2021autoregressive} proposed the Matrix Autoregressive (MAR) Model. The model maintains and utilizes the…

高维多元回归模型的结构变化检测AI 解读

We study structural-change testing in multivariate linear regression when the response dimension is proportional to the sample size and the number of predictors is fixed. Despite its relevance to applications across a broad range of fields, this problem remains underexplored. The alternatives of interest allow multiple unknown changes in a prescribed linear contrast of the predictor effects. We construct a least-squares-based Wald statistic standardized by the residual…

高维时间序列的模型无关降噪AI 解读

We develop a model-agnostic framework for noise reduction in high-dimensional time series that explicitly targets optimal recovery of a low-dimensional latent dynamic component contaminated by observational white noise. Under the assumption that the latent dynamics live in a low-dimensional linear dynamic subspace, we characterize the optimal linear projection onto the dynamic subspace and provide a geometric description of the residual error in terms of the relative…

观察性时间序列动态因果效应的半参数推断AI 解读

In observational time series, statistical inference for dynamic causal effects of a one-time intervention across horizons is complicated by high-dimensional observed pre-treatment information, unmeasured confounding, and serial dependence. To address these challenges, we develop a semiparametric framework for inference from a single serially dependent time series, integrating debiased machine learning with instrumental variables through buffered block cross-fitting. Under…
