金融持续时间建模的计量经济学AI 解读

We establish new results for estimation and inference in financial durations models, where events are observed over a given time span, such as a trading day, or a week. For the classical autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models by Engle and Russell (1998, Econometrica 66, 1127-1162), we show that the large sample behavior of likelihood estimators is highly sensitive to the tail behavior of the financial durations. In particular, even under stationarity, asymptotic…

马尔可夫调制跳跃扩散模型的最大似然估计AI 解读

We propose a method for obtaining maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs) of a Markov-Modulated Jump-Diffusion Model (MMJDM) when the data is a discrete time sample of the diffusion process, the jumps follow a Laplace distribution, and the parameters of the diffusion are controlled by a Markov Jump Process (MJP). The data can be viewed as incomplete observation of a model with a tractable likelihood function. Therefore we use the EM-algorithm to obtain MLEs of the parameters. We…

序贯成对比较数据中突变的检测AI 解读

The Bradley-Terry-Luce (BTL) model is a classic and very popular statistical approach for eliciting a global ranking among a collection of items using pairwise comparison data. In applications in which the comparison outcomes are observed as a time series, it is often the case that data are non-stationary, in the sense that the true underlying ranking changes over time. In this paper we are concerned with localizing the change points in a high-dimensional BTL model with…

用于时间序列分析与预测的机器学习算法AI 解读

Time series data is being used everywhere, from sales records to patients' health evolution metrics. The ability to deal with this data has become a necessity, and time series analysis and forecasting are used for the same. Every Machine Learning enthusiast would consider these as very important tools, as they deepen the understanding of the characteristics of data. Forecasting is used to predict the value of a variable in the future, based on its past occurrences. A…

用于自动集成预测与解释的深度学习和线性规划AI 解读

This paper presents an ensemble forecasting method that shows strong results on the M4 Competition dataset by decreasing feature and model selection assumptions, termed DONUT (DO Not UTilize human beliefs). Our assumption reductions, primarily consisting of auto-generated features and a more diverse model pool for the ensemble, significantly outperform the statistical, feature-based ensemble method FFORMA by Montero-Manso et al. (2020). We also investigate feature extraction…

结合协方差选择与阶数选择的因果向量自回归AI 解读

A causal vector autoregressive (CVAR) model is introduced for weakly stationary multivariate processes, combining a recursive directed graphical model for the contemporaneous components and a vector autoregressive model longitudinally. Block Cholesky decomposition with varying block sizes is used to solve the model equations and estimate the path coefficients along a directed acyclic graph (DAG). If the DAG is decomposable, i.e. the zeros form a reducible zero pattern (RZP)…

利用长短期记忆网络构造多元时间序列预测区间AI 解读

In this paper we propose a novel procedure to construct a confidence interval for multivariate time series predictions using long short term memory network. The construction uses a few novel block bootstrap techniques. We also propose an innovative block length selection procedure for each of these schemes. Two novel benchmarks help us to compare the construction of this confidence intervals by different bootstrap techniques. We illustrate the whole construction through S\&P…

混合因果—非因果自回归模型的谱估计AI 解读

This paper investigates new ways of estimating and identifying causal, noncausal, and mixed causal-noncausal autoregressive models driven by a non-Gaussian error sequence. We do not assume any parametric distribution function for the innovations. Instead, we use the information of higher-order cumulants, combining the spectrum and the bispectrum in a minimum distance estimation. We show how to circumvent the nonlinearity of the parameters and the multimodality in the…

利用非高斯性估计因果有向无环图过程AI 解读

Numerous approaches have been proposed to discover causal dependencies in machine learning and data mining; among them, the state-of-the-art VAR-LiNGAM (short for Vector Auto-Regressive Linear Non-Gaussian Acyclic Model) is a desirable approach to reveal both the instantaneous and time-lagged relationships. However, all the obtained VAR matrices need to be analyzed to infer the final causal graph, leading to a rise in the number of parameters. To address this issue, we…

日内电力市场的模拟预测：价格分布位置、形状与尺度的基本面驱动因素AI 解读

During the last years, European intraday power markets have gained importance for balancing forecast errors due to the rising volumes of intermittent renewable generation. However, compared to day-ahead markets, the drivers for the intraday price process are still sparsely researched. In this paper, we propose a modelling strategy for the location, shape and scale parameters of the return distribution in intraday markets, based on fundamental variables. We consider wind and…

积极劳动市场政策的宏观效应：一种新的工具变量策略AI 解读

This study evaluates the macroeconomic effects of active labour market policies (ALMP) in Germany over the period 2005 to 2018. We propose a novel identification strategy to overcome the simultaneity of ALMP and labour market outcomes at the regional level. It exploits the imperfect overlap of local labour markets and local employment agencies that decide on the local implementation of policies. Specifically, we instrument for the use of ALMP in a local labour market with…

时空区域数据的贝叶斯建模与聚类：意大利失业率应用AI 解读

Spatio-temporal areal data can be seen as a collection of time series which are spatially correlated according to a specific neighboring structure. Incorporating the temporal and spatial dimension into a statistical model poses challenges regarding the underlying theoretical framework as well as the implementation of efficient computational methods. We propose to include spatio-temporal random effects using a conditional autoregressive prior, where the temporal correlation…

分数阶单整与协整AI 解读

In this chapter we present an overview of the main ideas and methods in the fractional integration and cointegration literature. We do not attempt to give a complete survey of this enormous literature, but rather a more introductory treatment suitable for a researcher or graduate student wishing to learn about this exciting field of research. With this aim, we have surely overlooked many relevant references for which we apologize in advance. Knowledge of standard time series…

利用 Knockoff 干预估计隐藏混杂下的时间序列因果联系AI 解读

Latent variables often mask cause-effect relationships in observational data which provokes spurious links that may be misinterpreted as causal. This problem sparks great interest in the fields such as climate science and economics. We propose to estimate confounded causal links of time series using Sequential Causal Effect Variational Autoencoder (SCEVAE) while applying Knockoff interventions. Knockoff variables have the same distribution as the originals and preserve the…

SETAR-Tree：用于全局时间序列预测的新型树算法AI 解读

Threshold Autoregressive (TAR) models have been widely used by statisticians for non-linear time series forecasting during the past few decades, due to their simplicity and mathematical properties. On the other hand, in the forecasting community, general-purpose tree-based regression algorithms (forests, gradient-boosting) have become popular recently due to their ease of use and accuracy. In this paper, we explore the close connections between TAR models and regression…

阈值自回归移动平均模型的稳健估计AI 解读

Threshold autoregressive moving-average (TARMA) models are popular in time series analysis due to their ability to parsimoniously describe several complex dynamical features. However, neither theory nor estimation methods are currently available when the data present heavy tails or anomalous observations, which is often the case in applications. In this paper, we provide the first theoretical framework for robust M-estimation for TARMA models and also study its practical…

多项式尾部下稀疏高维时间序列的稳健估计AI 解读

High dimensional Vector Autoregressions (VAR) have received a lot of interest recently due to novel applications in health, engineering, finance and the social sciences. Three issues arise when analyzing VAR's: (a) The high dimensional nature of the model in the presence of many time series that poses challenges for consistent estimation of its parameters; (b) the presence of temporal dependence introduces additional challenges for theoretical analysis of various estimation…

动态时空随机波动率模型及其环境风险应用AI 解读

This article introduces a dynamic spatiotemporal stochastic volatility (SV) model with explicit terms for the spatial, temporal, and spatiotemporal spillover effects. Moreover, the model includes time-invariant site-specific constant log-volatility terms. Thus, this formulation allows to distinguish between spatial and temporal interactions, while each location may have a different volatility level. We study the statistical properties of an outcome variable under this…

高维白噪声检验AI 解读

Testing for multi-dimensional white noise is an important subject in statistical inference. Such test in the high-dimensional case becomes an open problem waiting to be solved, especially when the dimension of a time series is comparable to or even greater than the sample size. To detect an arbitrary form of departure from high-dimensional white noise, a few tests have been developed. Some of these tests are based on max-type statistics, while others are based on sum-type…

高斯过程向量自回归与宏观经济不确定性AI 解读

We develop a non-parametric multivariate time series model that remains agnostic on the precise relationship between a (possibly) large set of macroeconomic time series and their lagged values. The main building block of our model is a Gaussian process prior on the functional relationship that determines the conditional mean of the model, hence the name of Gaussian process vector autoregression (GP-VAR). A flexible stochastic volatility specification is used to provide…

结构化收缩目标下高维协方差矩阵的投影推断AI 解读

Analyzing large samples of high-dimensional data under dependence is a challenging statistical problem as long time series may have change points, most importantly in the mean and the marginal covariances, for which one needs valid tests. Inference for large covariance matrices is especially difficult due to noise accumulation, resulting in singular estimates and poor power of related tests. The singularity of the sample covariance matrix in high dimensions can be overcome…

使用随机森林的时间序列分位数回归AI 解读

We discuss an application of Generalized Random Forests (GRF) proposed by Athey et al.(2019) to quantile regression for time series data. We extracted the theoretical results of the GRF consistency for i.i.d. data to time series data. In particular, in the main theorem, based only on the general assumptions for time series data in Davis and Nielsen (2020), and trees in Athey et al.(2019), we show that the tsQRF (time series Quantile Regression Forests) estimator is…

市场有效性与无抛补利率平价的新检验AI 解读

We suggest a new single-equation test for Uncovered Interest Parity (UIP) based on a dynamic regression approach. The method provides consistent and asymptotically efficient parameter estimates, and is not dependent on assumptions of strict exogeneity. This new approach is asymptotically more efficient than the common approach of using OLS with HAC robust standard errors in the static forward premium regression. The coefficient estimates when spot return changes are…

矩阵时间序列的同步去相关AI 解读

We propose a contemporaneous bilinear transformation for a $p\times q$ matrix time series to alleviate the difficulties in modeling and forecasting matrix time series when $p$ and/or $q$ are large. The resulting transformed matrix assumes a block structure consisting of several small matrices, and those small matrix series are uncorrelated across all times. Hence an overall parsimonious model is achieved by modelling each of those small matrix series separately without the…
