将参与者福利纳入序贯多重分配随机试验AI 解读

Dynamic treatment regimes (DTRs) are sequences of decision rules that recommend treatments based on patients' time-varying clinical conditions. The sequential multiple assignment randomized trial (SMART) is an experimental design that can provide high-quality evidence for constructing optimal DTRs. In a conventional SMART, participants are randomized to available treatments at multiple stages with balanced randomization probabilities. Despite its relative simplicity of…

利用 Conceptor 矩阵检测变点AI 解读

Offline change point detection retrospectively locates change points in a time series. Many nonparametric methods that target i.i.d. mean and variance changes fail in the presence of nonlinear temporal dependence, and model based methods require a known, rigid structure. For the at most one change point problem, we propose use of a conceptor matrix to learn the characteristic dynamics of a baseline training window with arbitrary dependence structure. The associated echo…

结合贝叶斯方法的遗传算法：阈值超越计数时间序列的多变点检测AI 解读

Although the applications of Non-Homogeneous Poisson Processes to model and study the threshold overshoots of interest in different time series of measurements have proven to provide good results, they needed to be complemented with an efficient and automatic diagnostic technique to establish the location of the change-points, which, when taken into account, make the estimated model fit poorly in regards of the information contained in the real model. For this reason, we…

基于 LSTM 的时变变异数据预测监控方法AI 解读

The recurrent neural network and its variants have shown great success in processing sequences in recent years. However, this deep neural network has not aroused much attention in anomaly detection through predictively process monitoring. Furthermore, the traditional statistic models work on assumptions and hypothesis tests, while neural network (NN) models do not need that many assumptions. This flexibility enables NN models to work efficiently on data with time-varying…

计数时间序列趋势与突变的局部自适应收缩先验AI 解读

Non-stationary count time series characterized by features such as abrupt changes and fluctuations about the trend arise in many scientific domains including biophysics, ecology, energy, epidemiology, and social science domains. Current approaches for integer-valued time series lack the flexibility to capture local transient features while more flexible models for continuous data types are inadequate for universal applications to integer-valued responses such as settings…

纵向研究中序贯未测量混杂下的敏感性模型与界AI 解读

Consider sensitivity analysis to assess the worst-case possible values of counterfactual outcome means and average treatment effects under sequential unmeasured confounding in a longitudinal study with time-varying treatments and covariates. We formulate several multi-period sensitivity models to relax the corresponding versions of the assumption of sequential unconfounding. The primary sensitivity model involves only counterfactual outcomes, whereas the joint and product…

参数化分位数自回归条件持续期模型及日内风险价值应用AI 解读

The modeling of high-frequency data that qualify financial asset transactions has been an area of relevant interest among statisticians and econometricians -- above all, the analysis of time series of financial durations. Autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models have been the main tool for modeling financial transaction data, where duration is usually defined as the time interval between two successive events. These models are usually specified in terms of a…

非平稳自回归与预测回归模型的断点日期估计AI 解读

In this article, we study the statistical and asymptotic properties of break-point estimators in nonstationary autoregressive and predictive regression models for testing the presence of a single structural break at an unknown location in the full sample. Moreover, we investigate aspects such as how the persistence properties of covariates and the location of the break-point affects the limiting distribution of the proposed break-point estimators.

利用随机微分方程刻画股票价格时间序列的结构突变AI 解读

This paper studies the effect of quarterly earnings reports on the stock price. The profitability of the stock is modelled by geometric Brownian diffusion and the Constant Elasticity of Variance model. We fit several variations of stochastic differential equations to the pre-and after-report period using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Grid Search of parameters method. By examining the change in the model parameters after reports' publication, the study reveals that…

利用替代指标的合成控制近端因果推断AI 解读

The synthetic control method (SCM) has become a popular tool for estimating causal effects in policy evaluation, where a single treated unit is observed, and a heterogeneous set of untreated units with pre- and post-policy change data are also observed. However, the synthetic control method faces challenges in accurately predicting post-intervention potential outcome had, contrary to fact, the treatment been withheld, when the pre-intervention period is short or the…

全球空间索引下函数型时间序列的变点检测AI 解读

In environmental and climate data, there is often an interest in determining if and when changes occur in a system. Such changes may result from localized sources in space and time like a volcanic eruption or climate geoengineering events. Detecting such events and their subsequent influence on climate has important policy implications. However, the climate system is complex, and such changes can be challenging to detect. One statistical perspective for changepoint detection…

时间序列的位置自适应变点检验AI 解读

We propose a location-adaptive self-normalization (SN) based test for change points in time series. The SN technique has been extensively used in change-point detection for its capability to avoid direct estimation of nuisance parameters. However, we find that the power of the SN-based test is susceptible to the location of the break and may suffer from a severe power loss, especially when the change occurs at the early or late stage of the sequence. This phenomenon is…

跨多产品类别消费者选择的反事实推断AI 解读

This paper proposes a method for estimating consumer preferences among discrete choices, where the consumer chooses at most one product in a category, but selects from multiple categories in parallel. The consumer's utility is additive in the different categories. Her preferences about product attributes as well as her price sensitivity vary across products and are in general correlated across products. We build on techniques from the machine learning literature on…

多种间歇性治疗的因果效应估计及其新冠应用AI 解读

To draw real-world evidence about the comparative effectiveness of multiple time-varying treatments on patient survival, we develop a joint marginal structural survival model and a novel weighting strategy to account for time-varying confounding and censoring. Our methods formulate complex longitudinal treatments with multiple start/stop switches as the recurrent events with discontinuous intervals of treatment eligibility. We derive the weights in continuous time to handle…

异方差与测量误差下的门限效应检验：意大利罢工应用AI 解读

Many macroeconomic time series are characterised by nonlinearity both in the conditional mean and in the conditional variance and, in practice, it is important to investigate separately these two aspects. Here we address the issue of testing for threshold nonlinearity in the conditional mean, in the presence of conditional heteroskedasticity. We propose a supremum Lagrange Multiplier approach to test a linear ARMA-GARCH model against the alternative of a TARMA-GARCH model.…

具有时变潜在分组结构的面板数据模型AI 解读

This paper considers a linear panel model with interactive fixed effects and unobserved individual and time heterogeneities that are captured by some latent group structures and an unknown structural break, respectively. To enhance realism the model may have different numbers of groups and/or different group memberships before and after the break. With the preliminary nuclear-norm-regularized estimation followed by row- and column-wise linear regressions, we estimate the…

对参数不稳定性稳健的可预测性检验AI 解读

We consider Wald type statistics designed for joint predictability and structural break testing based on the instrumentation method of Phillips and Magdalinos (2009). We show that under the assumption of nonstationary predictors: (i) the tests based on the OLS estimators converge to a nonstandard limiting distribution which depends on the nuisance coefficient of persistence; and (ii) the tests based on the IVX estimators can filter out the persistence under certain parameter…

期限结构模型风险溢价的识别稳健推断AI 解读

We propose identification robust statistics for testing hypotheses on the risk premia in dynamic affine term structure models. We do so using the moment equation specification proposed for these models in Adrian et al. (2013). We extend the subset (factor) Anderson-Rubin test from Guggenberger et al. (2012) to models with multiple dynamic factors and time-varying risk prices. Unlike projection-based tests, it provides a computationally tractable manner to conduct…

高维资产条件因子模型中 alpha 的自适应检验AI 解读

This paper focuses on testing for the presence of alpha in time-varying factor pricing models, specifically when the number of securities N is larger than the time dimension of the return series T. We introduce a maximum-type test that performs well in scenarios where the alternative hypothesis is sparse. We establish the limit null distribution of the proposed maximum-type test statistic and demonstrate its asymptotic independence from the sum-type test statistics proposed…

局部平稳函数型时间序列的最优短期预测AI 解读

Accurate curve forecasting is of vital importance for policy planning, decision making and resource allocation in many engineering and industrial applications. In this paper we establish a theoretical foundation for the optimal short-term linear prediction of non-stationary functional or curve time series with smoothly time-varying data generating mechanisms. The core of this work is to establish a unified functional auto-regressive approximation result for a general class…

非欧氏值时间序列的两样本与变点推断AI 解读

Data objects taking value in a general metric space have become increasingly common in modern data analysis. In this paper, we study two important statistical inference problems, namely, two-sample testing and change-point detection, for such non-Euclidean data under temporal dependence. Typical examples of non-Euclidean valued time series include yearly mortality distributions, time-varying networks, and covariance matrix time series. To accommodate unknown temporal…

利用双向 MOSUM 推断高维时间序列的变点AI 解读

We propose an inference method for detecting multiple change points in high-dimensional time series, targeting dense or spatially clustered signals. Our method aggregates moving sum (MOSUM) statistics cross-sectionally by an $\ell^2$-norm and maximizes them over time. We further introduce a novel Two-Way MOSUM, which utilizes spatial-temporal moving regions to search for breaks, with the added advantage of enhancing testing power when breaks occur in only a few groups. The…

通过反事实推断识别淀粉样蛋白积累与阿尔茨海默病进展的因果关系AI 解读

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder that is beginning with amyloidosis, followed by neuronal loss and deterioration in structure, function, and cognition. The accumulation of amyloid-beta in the brain, measured through 18F-florbetapir (AV45) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, has been widely used for early diagnosis of AD. However, the relationship between amyloid-beta accumulation and AD pathophysiology remains unclear, and causal inference…

高频金融数据大维瞬时波动率矩阵的非参数估计AI 解读

In this paper, we consider estimating spot/instantaneous volatility matrices of high-frequency data collected for a large number of assets. We first combine classic nonparametric kernel-based smoothing with a generalised shrinkage technique in the matrix estimation for noise-free data under a uniform sparsity assumption, a natural extension of the approximate sparsity commonly used in the literature. The uniform consistency property is derived for the proposed spot…
