度量空间时间序列的在线分布变化检测AI 解读

We propose an online testing framework for detecting distributional changes in serially dependent data with values in a separable metric space. Based on two-sample $U$-statistics, the framework encompasses sequential analogs of energy distance and maximum mean discrepancy (MMD) procedures while accommodating temporal dependence. We establish asymptotic theory for finite and open-ended monitoring horizons that characterizes the full asymptotic run-length distribution under $H_0$…

鞅持续触发时：真实预测流中的随时有效门控AI 解读

Machine learning systems are increasingly corrected while they run, and the decision of when to intervene is increasingly delegated to statistical monitors. Anytime-valid inference promises evidence that can be acted on at any moment, exactly the guarantee this setting needs, and it is moving from theory into deployed monitoring. Conformal test martingales are the change-detection instrument, and Ville's inequality caps their false-alarm probability on exchangeable data. The…

广义岭回归与卷积LASSOAI 解读

We derive the complete duality theory underlying the Hodrick--Prescott filter, whose rank-deficient second-difference penalty admits infinitely many equivalent trend representations via generalized inverses. Constructing two canonical choices---the Moore--Penrose-based \emph{B-representation} and an alternative \emph{A-representation}---we prove that the extracted trend is invariant across representations, obtain a closed-form Bregman-type divergence quantifying their…

通过惩罚最小二乘实现一步式分组因子分析AI 解读

In this article, we revisit the problem of group factor analysis and propose a one-step penalized least squares method to estimate the factor loadings and factors in large-dimensional group factor models, offering a distinct alternative to the conventional two-step principal component approach. Our procedure originates from the equivalence between the group factor structure and the carefully tailored identification conditions. Leveraging this insight, we develop a tricky…

无需预热期的 VARMA 时间序列模拟AI 解读

Varmapack is a software package for efficient, exact simulation of VARMA time series without a burn-in period. For stationary models, Varmapack can generate initial states and innovations from their joint stationary distribution. Alternatively, the user can supply initial states, in which case innovations are generated from their conditional distribution. The core C library has interfaces to R, Python, and Matlab. It also offers VARMAX simulation and computation of…

局部爆炸性时间序列的尾部感知密度预测：神经网络方法AI 解读

Mixed causal--noncausal (anticipative) models capture locally explosive dynamics and provide economically meaningful probabilities of continuation and collapse, but forecasting with them remains computationally difficult. We develop a two-stage framework that estimates such an ARMA model and then learns its predictive density using a Mixture Density Network with skewed-t components, tail-aware training weights, and post-hoc calibration. The approach accommodates the heavy…

因果—非因果状态空间模型与金融泡沫建模AI 解读

In this paper, we study causal non-causal state space models to model time series characterised by a local explosive increase followed by a sharp decrease such as stock prices. To motivate the use of causal non-causal state space models, we show that the causal non-causal convolution autoregressive model introduced by Gourieroux and Zakoian (2017) can be consistent with the rational expectations stock price model. As in a causal state space model, a central question is how…

SCAN：通过自适应非参数推断依次检测变点AI 解读

Modern time series are often long, serially dependent, and non-stationary. Existing change-point methods either target specific changes or become computationally intensive when using nonparametric costs on long series. Many also require thresholds to be carefully calibrated under serial dependence. We introduce SCAN, an offline method for detecting multiple distributional change-points in long, serially dependent univariate time series. SCAN compares adjacent windows using…

厚尾与随机波动率下规范化向量自回归预测软件的设计AI 解读

We present a suite of R packages for macroeconomic forecasting that leverages advanced Bayesian, structural, multivariate, dynamic, hierarchical, non-linear, and non-Gaussian models. The suite enables both structural and predictive analyses, and is adapted to time series data across various types, dimensions, and sampling frequencies. Each additional feature increases computational complexity. To address this challenge, our software design incorporates a carefully curated…

非欧对象值时间序列的周期性量化AI 解读

Non-Euclidean object-valued time series are playing a growing role in modern data analysis, and periodicity is a fundamental characteristic of many time series. However, quantifying periodicity in general non-Euclidean random objects remains largely unexplored. In this work, we introduce a novel nonparametric framework for quantifying periodicity in random objects within a general metric space that lacks Euclidean structure. Our approach formulates periodicity estimation as…

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…

贝叶斯指标饱和回归AI 解读

Structural break detection has emerged as an important tool for assessing the effects of policies in settings where conventional policy evaluation methods might not be applicable.In this paper, we introduce a unified Bayesian framework for detecting structural breaks with unknown timing and arbitrary sequence in longitudinal data. The proposed setup builds on a indicator-saturated regression design and uses a spike-and-slab prior for selection among indicators. We establish…

含未知趋势与周期成分的球面嵌入时间序列AI 解读

Spherically embedded time series are time series with values naturally residing on or can be equivalently mapped to the sphere. Despite their ubiquity in diverse scientific fields, these data frequently exhibit complex non-stationarity driven by latent trend and periodic components. Traditional Euclidean time series methods fail to account for the intrinsic non-Euclidean geometry of the sphere, leaving a critical gap in rigorous methodologies for modelling and forecasting…

处理—混杂反馈下电力需求的边际结构模型与连续处理自适应 LASSOAI 解读

Temperature is the most important meteorological driver of electricity demand, but its causal effect has not been estimated under the time-varying confounding that characterizes weather processes. Current temperature is associated with weather conditions, including precipitation, snow cover, and cloud cover, that also influence electricity demand, and past temperature shapes future weather, producing treatment-confounder feedback under which standard regression adjustment is…

正则化高维加性张量自回归模型AI 解读

High-dimensional time series has diverse applications in econometrics and finance. Recent models for capturing temporal dependence have employed a bilinear representation for matrix time series, or the Tucker-decomposition based representation in case of tensor time series. A Tucker-decomposition based temporal effect is difficult to interpret on many occasions, along with its computational complexity due to the non-convex nature of the underlying optimization problem.…

聚类与弱依赖数据下 U 统计量的极限理论AI 解读

This paper develops asymptotic theory and feasible inference for unbounded-kernel order-k U-statistics under clustered sampling and weakly dependent time-series. The analysis first builds the complete order-2 pipeline, moving from clustered data to exact $m$-dependence and then to near-epoch dependence. The same logic is subsequently extended to general order k greater or equal to 2. Under clustered sampling, the theory allows arbitrary within-cluster dependence and growing,…

二次型统计量的随机不变性检验及自相关应用AI 解读

Randomization testing with permutations is a very common nonparametric approach to hypothesis testing. However, randomization testing can be done with other group transformations including random rotations. In this work, we consider the problem of invariance in quadratic form statistics under a unified framework with closed form p-values. In particular, we propose a nonparametric variant of the classic Durbin-Watson test for testing for autocorrelation in time series data at…

利用时间压缩数据横截面估计长期关系AI 解读

Many empirical investigations of long-run relations are based on cross-section regressions in averaged or long differenced data that effectively have the time dimension of a $T\times N$ panel compressed. We analyze a class of time-compressed I(1) data and show that they have magnified variability stemming from the fact that the cross-section variance of a non-stationary panel `fans out' with time. Cross-section regressions in time compressed data can potentially yield…

函数型时间序列的频域自助法AI 解读

A frequency domain bootstrap procedure for functional time series is proposed and applied to the class of spectral mean operators. The procedure works by first generating independent pseudo periodogram operators across the positive Fourier frequencies using an estimator of the spectral density operator involved. Functional replicates of the spectral mean operators of interest are then generated. Through an additive, projection-based decomposition of the bootstrapped spectral…

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…

用于动态神经潜在嵌入的潜在空间网络模型AI 解读

We introduce a novel latent space network model for analyzing multivariate time series of neural spike-train data. The methodology is motivated by an experimental study in mice, where neuronal responses were collected under a sequence of visual discrimination tasks. We adopt a latent variable framework to model the firing rates of aggregated brain areas, while simultaneously inferring the interactions between regions via a hidden network structure. This interaction network…

通过状态空间边际化高效进行动态结构方程模型的贝叶斯估计AI 解读

Dynamic structural equation models (DSEMs) combine time-series modeling of within-person processes with hierarchical modeling of between-person differences and differences between timepoints, and have become very popular for the analysis of intensive longitudinal data in the social sciences. An important computational bottleneck has, however, still not been resolved: whenever the underlying process is assumed to be latent and measured by one or more indicators per timepoint,…

非平稳时间序列中稳定区间的检验AI 解读

Many time series are not stable over their full observation horizon, but may contain scientifically meaningful periods during which a signal remains stable up to a prescribed tolerance. We formulate this as an existence test for stable intervals in a non-stationary regression model with dependent, locally stationary errors. For a signal $d$ derived from the mean function, including deviations from reference levels and derivatives, stability over duration $δ$ is encoded by $d_\infty=\inf_{t\in[0,1-δ]}\sup_{s\in[t,t+δ]}|d(s)|$…

非对称 Huber 周期图AI 解读

This paper introduces a novel spectral M-estimator, called the asymmetric Huber periodogram (AHP), as a generalization of the ordinary periodogram (PG), the quantile periodogram (QP), and the Huber periodogram (HP). The AHP is constructed via trigonometric asymmetric Huber regression (AHR), in which a specially designed loss function replaces the squared $\ell_2$ loss used to define the PG. Relative to the QP, the AHP can be more computationally efficient, and relative to…
