序列依赖对惩罚回归方法的影响AI 解读

This paper characterizes the impact of covariate serial dependence on the non-asymptotic estimation error bound of penalized regressions (PRs). Focusing on the direct relationship between the degree of cross-correlation between covariates and the estimation error bound of PRs, we show that orthogonal or weakly cross-correlated stationary AR processes can exhibit high spurious correlations caused by serial dependence. We provide analytical results on the distribution of the…

欧洲碳与能源价格的波动和依赖关系建模AI 解读

We study the prices of European Emission Allowances (EUA), whereby we analyze their uncertainty and dependencies on related energy prices (natural gas, coal, and oil). We propose a probabilistic multivariate conditional time series model with a VECM-Copula-GARCH structure which exploits key characteristics of the data. Data are normalized with respect to inflation and carbon emissions to allow for proper cross-series evaluation. The forecasting performance is evaluated in an…

含缺失数据的高维条件高斯状态空间模型AI 解读

We develop an efficient sampling approach for handling complex missing data patterns and a large number of missing observations in conditionally Gaussian state space models. Two important examples are dynamic factor models with unbalanced datasets and large Bayesian VARs with variables in multiple frequencies. A key insight underlying the proposed approach is that the joint distribution of the missing data conditional on the observed data is Gaussian. Moreover, the inverse…

mbsts 包：R 中的多变量贝叶斯结构时间序列模型AI 解读

The multivariate Bayesian structural time series (MBSTS) model is a general machine learning model that deals with inference and prediction for multiple correlated time series, where one also has the choice of using a different candidate pool of contemporaneous predictors for each target series. The MBSTS model has wide applications and is ideal for feature selection, time series forecasting, nowcasting, inferring causal impact, and others. This paper demonstrates how to use…

共识型与分歧型不确定性AI 解读

When agents' information is imperfect and dispersed, existing measures of macroeconomic uncertainty based on the forecast error variance have two distinct drivers: the variance of the economic shock and the variance of the information dispersion. The former driver increases uncertainty and reduces agents' disagreement (agreed uncertainty). The latter increases both uncertainty and disagreement (disagreed uncertainty). We use these implications to identify empirically the…

用时变参数 SIRD 模型连接新冠疫情数据与流行病模型AI 解读

This paper extends the canonical model of epidemiology, the SIRD model, to allow for time-varying parameters for real-time measurement and prediction of the trajectory of the Covid-19 pandemic. Time variation in model parameters is captured using the generalized autoregressive score modeling structure designed for the typical daily count data related to the pandemic. The resulting specification permits a flexible yet parsimonious model with a low computational cost. The…

预测限价订单簿中间价动态的贝叶斯双线性神经网络AI 解读

The prediction of financial markets is a challenging yet important task. In modern electronically-driven markets, traditional time-series econometric methods often appear incapable of capturing the true complexity of the multi-level interactions driving the price dynamics. While recent research has established the effectiveness of traditional machine learning (ML) models in financial applications, their intrinsic inability to deal with uncertainties, which is a great concern…

多维动态因子模型AI 解读

This paper generalises dynamic factor models for multidimensional dependent data. In doing so, it develops an interpretable technique to study complex information sources ranging from repeated surveys with a varying number of respondents to panels of satellite images. We specialise our results to model microeconomic data on US households jointly with macroeconomic aggregates. This results in a powerful tool able to generate localised predictions, counterfactuals and impulse…

SUTSE 模型的快速同期预测及理论性质AI 解读

We consider the problem of forecasting multivariate time series by a Seemingly Unrelated Time Series Equations (SUTSE) model. The SUTSE model usually assumes that error variables are correlated. A crucial issue is that the model estimation requires heavy computational loads because of a large matrix computation, especially for high-dimensional data. To alleviate the computational issue, we propose a two-stage procedure for forecasting. First, we perform the Kalman filter as…

用于分位数概率建模的神经样条搜索AI 解读

Accurate estimation of output quantiles is crucial in many use cases, where it is desired to model the range of possibility. Modeling target distribution at arbitrary quantile levels and at arbitrary input attribute levels are important to offer a comprehensive picture of the data, and requires the quantile function to be expressive enough. The quantile function describing the target distribution using quantile levels is critical for quantile regression. Although various…

There are many forecasting related packages in R with varied popularity, the most famous of all being \texttt{forecast}, which implements several important forecasting approaches, such as ARIMA, ETS, TBATS and others. However, the main issue with the existing functionality is the lack of flexibility for research purposes, when it comes to modifying the implemented models. The R package \texttt{smooth} introduces a new approach to univariate forecasting, implementing ETS and…

水力压裂后煤层气井产量预测模型的可解释性与因果发现AI 解读

Machine learning approaches are widely studied in the production prediction of CBM wells after hydraulic fracturing, but merely used in practice due to the low generalization ability and the lack of interpretability. A novel methodology is proposed in this article to discover the latent causality from observed data, which is aimed at finding an indirect way to interpret the machine learning results. Based on the theory of causal discovery, a causal graph is derived with…

时间序列与动态网络嵌入的近期发展AI 解读

We give a review of some recent developments in embeddings of time series and dynamic networks. We start out with traditional principal components and then look at extensions to dynamic factor models for time series. Unlike principal components for time series, the literature on time-varying nonlinear embedding is rather sparse. The most promising approaches in the literature is neural network based, and has recently performed well in forecasting competitions. We also touch…

利用线性网络进行辅助分位数预测AI 解读

We propose a novel multi-task method for quantile forecasting with shared Linear layers. Our method is based on the Implicit quantile learning approach, where samples from the Uniform distribution $\mathcal{U}(0, 1)$ are reparameterized to quantile values of the target distribution. We combine the implicit quantile and input time series representations to directly forecast multiple quantile estimations for multiple horizons jointly. Prior works have adopted a Linear layer…

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…

利用代理变量改进预测评价AI 解读

Comparative evaluation of forecasts of statistical functionals relies on comparing averaged losses of competing forecasts after the realization of the quantity $Y$, on which the functional is based, has been observed. Motivated by high-frequency finance, in this paper we investigate how proxies $\tilde Y$ for $Y$ - say volatility proxies - which are observed together with $Y$ can be utilized to improve forecast comparisons. We extend previous results on robustness of loss…

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…

从数据中学习基于主体的模型AI 解读

Agent-Based Models (ABMs) are used in several fields to study the evolution of complex systems from micro-level assumptions. However, ABMs typically can not estimate agent-specific (or "micro") variables: this is a major limitation which prevents ABMs from harnessing micro-level data availability and which greatly limits their predictive power. In this paper, we propose a protocol to learn the latent micro-variables of an ABM from data. The first step of our protocol is to…

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…

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…

危机不会导致短期增长下降AI 解读

It is commonly believed that financial crises "lead to" lower growth of a country during the two-year recession period, which can be reflected by their post-crisis GDP growth. However, by contrasting a causal model with a standard prediction model, this paper argues that such a belief is non-causal. To make causal inferences, we design a two-stage staggered difference-in-differences model to estimate the average treatment effects. Interpreting the residuals as the…
