反向无约束混频回归的层级正则化AI 解读

Reverse Unrestricted MIxed DAta Sampling (RU-MIDAS) regressions are used to model high-frequency responses by means of low-frequency variables. However, due to the periodic structure of RU-MIDAS regressions, the dimensionality grows quickly if the frequency mismatch between the high- and low-frequency variables is large. Additionally the number of high-frequency observations available for estimation decreases. We propose to counteract this reduction in sample size by pooling…

平稳与非平稳时变参数自回归模型中的推断AI 解读

This paper considers nonparametric estimation and inference in first-order autoregressive (AR(1)) models with deterministically time-varying parameters. A key feature of the proposed approach is to allow for time-varying stationarity in some time periods, time-varying nonstationarity (i.e., unit root or local-to-unit root behavior) in other periods, and smooth transitions between the two. The estimation of the AR parameter at any time point is based on a local least squares…

时空计数自回归AI 解读

We study the problem of modeling and inference for spatio-temporal count processes. Our approach uses parsimonious parameterisations of multivariate autoregressive count time series models, including possible regression on covariates. We control the number of parameters by specifying spatial neighbourhood structures for possibly huge matrices that take into account spatio-temporal dependencies. This work is motivated by real data applications which call for suitable models.…

高维矩阵因子时间序列的去噪与多线性投影估计AI 解读

This paper proposes a new multi-linear projection method for denoising and estimation of high-dimensional matrix-variate factor time series. It assumes that a $p_1\times p_2$ matrix-variate time series consists of a dynamically dependent, lower-dimensional matrix-variate factor process and a $p_1\times p_2$ matrix idiosyncratic series. In addition, the latter series assumes a matrix-variate factor structure such that its row and column covariances may have diverging/spiked…

通货膨胀的国际脆弱性AI 解读

In a globalised world, inflation in a given country may be becoming less responsive to domestic economic activity, while being increasingly determined by international conditions. Consequently, understanding the international sources of vulnerability of domestic inflation is turning fundamental for policy makers. In this paper, we propose the construction of Inflation-at-risk and Deflation-at-risk measures of vulnerability obtained using factor-augmented quantile regressions…

近似因子模型其实不存在旋转不确定性AI 解读

We show that in the approximate factor model the population normalised principal components converge in mean square (up to sign) under the standard assumptions for $n\to \infty$. Consequently, we have a generic interpretation of what the principal components estimator is actually identifying and existing results on factor identification are reinforced and refined. Based on this result, we provide a new asymptotic theory for the approximate factor model entirely without…

神经网络菲利普斯曲线与深度产出缺口AI 解读

Many problems plague empirical Phillips curves (PCs). Among them is the hurdle that the two key components, inflation expectations and the output gap, are both unobserved. Traditional remedies include proxying for the absentees or extracting them via assumptions-heavy filtering procedures. I propose an alternative route: a Hemisphere Neural Network (HNN) whose architecture yields a final layer where components can be interpreted as latent states within a Neural PC. There are…

用自回归模型增强多变量传感器时间序列：故障预后应用AI 解读

This work presents a novel data augmentation solution for non-stationary multivariate time series and its application to failure prognostics. The method extends previous work from the authors which is based on time-varying autoregressive processes. It can be employed to extract key information from a limited number of samples and generate new synthetic samples in a way that potentially improves the performance of PHM solutions. This is especially valuable in situations of…

一般非线性过程的多谱均值估计AI 解读

Higher-order spectra (or polyspectra), defined as the Fourier Transform of a stationary process' autocumulants, are useful in the analysis of nonlinear and non Gaussian processes. Polyspectral means are weighted averages over Fourier frequencies of the polyspectra, and estimators can be constructed from analogous weighted averages of the higher-order periodogram (a statistic computed from the data sample's discrete Fourier Transform). We derive the asymptotic distribution of…

二次型谱估计量的偏差校正AI 解读

The three cardinal, statistically consistent, families of non-parametric estimators to the power spectral density of a time series are lag-window, multitaper and Welch estimators. However, when estimating power spectral densities from a finite sample each can be subject to non-ignorable bias. Astfalck et al. (2024) developed a method that offers significant bias reduction for finite samples for Welch's estimator, which this article extends to the larger family of quadratic…

时间依赖下高维线性模型的最优变点检验AI 解读

In this paper, we study change-point testing for high-dimensional linear models, an important problem that has not been well explored in the literature. Specifically, we propose a quadratic-form cumulative sum (CUSUM) statistic to test the stability of regression coefficients in high-dimensional linear models. The test controls type-I error at any desired level and is robust to temporally dependent observations. We establish its asymptotic distribution under the null…

静态面板数据估计量的动态偏差AI 解读

This paper identifies an important bias - termed dynamic bias - in fixed effects panel estimators that arises when dynamic feedback is ignored in the estimating equation. Dynamic feedback occurs if past outcomes impact current outcomes, a feature of many settings ranging from economic growth to agricultural and labor markets. When estimating equations omit past outcomes, dynamic bias can lead to significantly inaccurate treatment effect estimates, even with randomly assigned…

高维预测变量下的预测分位数回归：变量筛选方法AI 解读

This paper advances a variable screening approach to enhance conditional quantile forecasts using high-dimensional predictors. We have refined and augmented the quantile partial correlation (QPC)-based variable screening proposed by Ma et al. (2017) to accommodate $β$-mixing time-series data. Our approach is inclusive of i.i.d scenarios but introduces new convergence bounds for time-series contexts, suggesting the performance of QPC-based screening is influenced by the…

面向不规则间隔时间序列的子序列拓扑数据分析方法AI 解读

A time-delay embedding (TDE), grounded in the framework of Takens's Theorem, provides a mechanism to represent and analyze the inherent dynamics of time-series data. Recently, topological data analysis (TDA) methods have been applied to study this time series representation mainly through the lens of persistent homology. Current literature on the fusion of TDE and TDA are adept at analyzing uniformly-spaced time series observations. This work introduces a novel {\em…

ARFIMA 长记忆过程的新贝叶斯算法：MCMC 与 ABC 的比较AI 解读

This paper presents a comparative study of two Bayesian approaches - Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) and Approximate Bayesian Computation (ABC) - for estimating the parameters of autoregressive fractionally-integrated moving average (ARFIMA) models, which are widely used to capture long-memory in time series data. We propose a novel MCMC algorithm that filters the time series into distinct long-memory and ARMA components, and benchmarked it against standard approaches.…

无条件异方差下基于 LAD 的自适应 Bootstrap 单位根检验AI 解读

This paper explores testing unit roots based on least absolute deviations (LAD) regression under unconditional heteroskedasticity. We first derive the asymptotic properties of the LAD estimator for a first-order autoregressive process with the coefficient (local to) unity under unconditional heteroskedasticity and weak dependence, revealing that the limiting distribution of the LAD estimator (consequently the derived test statistics) is closely associated with unknown…

高维矩阵值自回归模型的正则化估计AI 解读

Matrix-variate time series data are increasingly popular in economics, statistics, and environmental studies, among other fields. This paper develops regularized estimation methods for analyzing high-dimensional matrix-variate time series using bilinear matrix-variate autoregressive models. The bilinear autoregressive structure is widely used for matrix-variate time series, as it reduces model complexity while capturing interactions between rows and columns. However, when…

具有确定性时变截距的新 GARCH 模型AI 解读

It is common for long financial time series to exhibit gradual change in the unconditional volatility. We propose a new model that captures this type of nonstationarity in a parsimonious way. The model augments the volatility equation of a standard GARCH model by a deterministic time-varying intercept. It captures structural change that slowly affects the amplitude of a time series while keeping the short-run dynamics constant. We parameterize the intercept as a linear…

二元时间序列中未知周期性的检验AI 解读

Given independent random variables $Y_1, \ldots, Y_n$ with $Y_i \in \{0,1\}$ we test the hypothesis whether the underlying success probabilities $p_i$ are constant or whether they are periodic with an unspecified period length of $r \ge 2$. The test relies on an auxiliary integer $d$ which can be chosen arbitrarily, using which a new time series of length $d$ is constructed. For this new time series, the test statistic is derived according to the classical $g$ test by…

区间型时间序列的结构变化检测与变点估计AI 解读

This paper addresses the open problem of conducting change-point analysis for interval-valued time series data using the maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) framework. Motivated by financial time series, we analyze data that includes daily opening (O), up (U), low (L), and closing (C) values, rather than just a closing value as traditionally used. To tackle this, we propose a fundamental model based on stochastic differential equations, which also serves as a transformation…

Deflated HeteroPCA：克服异方差主成分分析的病态条件数问题AI 解读

This paper is concerned with estimating the column subspace of a low-rank matrix $\boldsymbol{X}^\star \in \mathbb{R}^{n_1\times n_2}$ from contaminated data. How to obtain optimal statistical accuracy while accommodating the widest range of signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) becomes particularly challenging in the presence of heteroskedastic noise and unbalanced dimensionality (i.e., $n_2\gg n_1$). While the state-of-the-art algorithm $\textsf{HeteroPCA}$ emerges as a powerful…

由随机线性扩展推断偏序：十二世纪王室文书中的权力关系AI 解读

In the eleventh and twelfth centuries in England, Wales and Normandy, Royal Acta were legal documents in which witnesses were listed in order of social status. Any bishops present were listed as a group. For our purposes, each witness-list is an ordered permutation of bishop names with a known date or date-range. Changes over time in the order bishops are listed may reflect changes in their authority. Historians would like to detect and quantify these changes. There is no…

基于共同结构变化的时间序列模型聚类AI 解读

We propose a novel model-based clustering approach for samples of time series. We assume as a unique commonality that two observations belong to the same group if structural changes in their behaviours happen at the same time. We resort to a latent representation of structural changes in each time series based on random orders to induce ties among different observations. Such an approach results in a general modeling strategy and can be combined with many time-dependent…

绿色泡沫：检测与传播的四阶段范式AI 解读

Climate change has emerged as a significant global concern, attracting increasing attention worldwide. While green bubbles may be examined through a social bubble hypothesis, it is essential not to neglect a Climate Minsky moment triggered by sudden asset price changes. The significant increase in green investments highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of these market dynamics. Therefore, the current paper introduces a novel paradigm for studying such…
