带均衡约束的结构估计序贯算法AI 解读

This study examines sequential algorithms with the Zero Jacobian Property (ZJP) for estimating structural models subject to equilibrium constraints. For the Maximum Likelihood Estimation (MLE) and the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM), the current study shows that these algorithms attains fast (near-quadratic) local convergence in large samples to the solution of the constrained optimization problem. If consistent initial estimates of the parameters are available, the…

具有结构突变干预的方向位移 Dirichlet ARMA 组成时间序列模型AI 解读

Compositional time series frequently exhibit structural breaks due to external shocks, policy changes, or market disruptions. Standard methods either ignore such breaks or handle them through fixed effects that cannot extrapolate beyond the sample, or step-function dummies that impose instantaneous adjustment. We develop a Bayesian Dirichlet ARMA model augmented with a directional-shift intervention mechanism that captures structural breaks through three interpretable…

利用外部对照调整随机试验中的治疗转换：总生存期的加权因果框架AI 解读

In many oncology clinical trials where overall survival is a key endpoint, patients are permitted to switch from the control arm to the experimental treatment arm or other suitable therapies. Switching can occur for various reasons, including disease progression. This violates the causal guarantees of randomized treatment assignment, resulting in biased treatment effect estimates. Existing methods often require strong assumptions, complicated model specifications, or both.…

用于多变量波动率预测的网络时间序列模型AI 解读

Realized volatility has become a standard tool for measuring latent variation in financial assets, and its forecasting is crucial for a wide range of financial applications. We propose a network-based model for forecasting a vector of realized variance processes through the heterogeneous autoregressive (HAR) approach. The generalised network HAR (GNHAR) model incorporates cross-sectional spillovers through a directed graph inferred from Granger-causality tests or…

协变量条件平行趋势下的双重差分AI 解读

We consider difference-in-differences identification and estimation strategies when the parallel trends assumption holds conditional on covariates, which can be time-varying, time-invariant, or both. We uncover several weaknesses of two-way fixed effects (TWFE) regressions in this context. The most important, which we call \textit{hidden linearity bias}, arises because transformations that eliminate unit fixed effects also transform the covariates, either implicitly changing…

通过经验福利最大化进行时间序列政策选择AI 解读

This paper develops a novel method for policy choice in a dynamic setting where the available data is a multivariate time series. Overcoming challenges unique to time-series setting such as time-varying environments, history-dependent welfare, dynamic causal effects, and statistical dependence, we propose Time-series Empirical Welfare Maximization (T-EWM) methods. We characterize conditions for T-EWM to consistently learn optimal policies conditional or unconditional on the…

高维线性模型中协方差扫描的自适应最优变点检测AI 解读

This paper investigates the detection and estimation of a single change in high-dimensional linear models. We derive minimax lower bounds for the detection boundary and the estimation rate, which uncover a phase transition governed by the sparsity of the covariance-weighted differential parameter. This form of "inherent sparsity" captures a delicate interplay between the covariance structure of the regressors and the change in regression coefficients on the detectability of…

有效再生数与每日感染时间序列的联合估计：新冠应用AI 解读

The time-varying effective reproduction number is an important parameter for communication and policy decisions during an epidemic. In this paper, we present new statistical methods for estimating the reproduction number based on the popular model of \citet{cori2013new} which defines the effective reproduction number based on self-exciting dynamics of new infections. Such a model is conceptually simple and less susceptible to misspecifications than more complicated…

基于典型相关分析的高维变换因子模型结构变化检测AI 解读

This paper develops a canonical-correlation-based method for detecting structural changes in high-dimensional transformed factor models. The proposed approach exploits the low-rank canonical-correlation structure induced by dynamically dependent common factors, while serially uncorrelated idiosyncratic components correspond to a noise subspace with zero canonical correlations. We construct an eigenvalue-ratio criterion that measures residual dynamic dependence in the…

纵向数据中罕见事件反事实风险的可扩展估计AI 解读

Estimating the causal effect of time-varying treatments on survival outcomes in large observational studies is computationally demanding, particularly when outcomes are rare. While g-formula-based methods such as the iterative conditional expectation (ICE) estimator provide a principled framework for longitudinal causal inference, they become computationally expensive, especially when bootstrap-based variance estimation is required. In addition, outcome rarity at each time…

通过自归一化检验函数型参数的假设AI 解读

Testing simple or composite hypothesis on a functional parameter has attracted considerable attention in time series analysis. To accommodate for the unknown temporal dependence, classical nonparametric approaches such as block bootstrapping and subsampling all involve a bandwidth parameter, the choice of which can substantially affect the finite sample performance. The self normalization (SN) method is tuning parameter free when applied to the inference of a…

重新审视免带宽推断：样本分割方法AI 解读

The bandwidth-free tests/inferences for a multi-dimensional parameter have attracted considerable attention in econometrics and statistics literature. These tests can be conveniently implemented due to their tuning-parameter free nature and possess more accurate size as compared to the traditional HAC-based approaches, where consistent long run variance estimation was involved. However, when sample size is small/medium, these bandwidth-free tests exhibit large size…

对象值时间序列的变点检测AI 解读

This article is concerned with change point detection for object-valued data that reside in a metric space, which has attracted some recent interests in statistics and econometrics literature. The existing methods either focus on independent data or can only detect change in the Fréchet mean or variance. In this paper, we propose a self-normalization (SN, hereafter) based statistic for detecting a shift in the marginal distribution of object-valued time series. Our test is…

纵向修正治疗政策对健康结局变化率的效应估计AI 解读

Longitudinal data often contains outcomes measured at multiple visits, and scientific interest may lie in quantifying the effect of an intervention on an outcome's rate of change. For example, one may wish to study the progression (or trajectory) of a disease over time under different hypothetical interventions. We extend the longitudinal modified treatment policy (LMTP) methodology to estimate effects of complex, exposure-dependent interventions on rates of change in an…

函数型时间序列实质性假设检验的统一理论AI 解读

In this paper, we develop a {\em unified} framework for testing relevant hypotheses in functional time series. The proposed approach accommodates one-sample, two-sample, and change point problems for contaminated observations under arbitrary sampling schemes. Combining B-spline estimation with self-normalization, we construct nuisance-parameter-free tests that bypass auxiliary estimation of long-run covariance functions and measurement-error variance functions. We establish…

修改因果模型以区分暂时与持久的因果效应AI 解读

This paper considers how to classify the effects of interventions in causal models for outcomes and exposures observed over time. First, we demonstrate the limitations of the most common uses of potential outcomes and causal directed acyclic graphs for capturing all possible interventions in a time varying framework, particularly in problems where the key question concerns interventions to maintain or change equilibrium behaviour. Second, we adopt a system and state based…

基于 Copula 马尔可夫模型的 Weibull 时间序列变点估计AI 解读

We study offline change-point estimation for time series data exhibiting nonlinear serial dependence. To address this problem, we propose a copula-based Markov chain model with Weibull marginal distributions, which is suitable for modeling nonnegative data such as event times and volatility measures. Nonlinear dependence is incorporated through the Clayton and Joe copulas, allowing the model to capture asymmetric lower-tail and upper-tail dependence structures, respectively.…

Tweedie 公式与得分驱动更新AI 解读

Score-driven models update time-varying parameters using conditional likelihood scores. This paper develops a Bayesian interpretation of such updates through Tweedie's formula, which connects posterior mean corrections with marginal scores. In Gaussian signal extraction, this gives an exact posterior-correction identity. For natural exponential families, related identities characterize posterior means in natural- and expectation-parameter spaces. Building on these…

仅用聚合数据识别个体随机化实验的全局平均处理效应AI 解读

Individualized randomized experiments are central to online platforms for optimizing personalized decisions in complex environments. In two-sided markets, however, standard treatment effect estimation is often invalid due to strong temporal and cross-unit interference, a challenge compounded when only aggregated data are available because of privacy or system constraints. To address these issues, we identify the Global Average Treatment Effect (GATE) using only group-level…

多元非齐次泊松过程时间序列的在线变点检测AI 解读

We study online change point detection for multivariate inhomogeneous Poisson point process time series. This setting arises commonly in applications such as earthquake seismology, climate monitoring, and epidemic surveillance, yet remains underexplored in the machine learning and statistics literature. We propose a method that uses low-rank matrices to represent the multivariate Poisson intensity functions, resulting in an adaptive nonparametric detection procedure. Our…

分类时间序列的变点检测及加拿大每日总云量应用AI 解读

Changepoints are essential for homogenizing categorical time series and analyzing their trends and variations. The original total cloud cover in Canada was recorded hourly in tenths (or eighths), exhibiting inherent seasonality and serial correlation. Lu and Wang (2012) introduced an extended cumulative logit model to detect shifts in the annual frequencies of cloud cover conditions. While annual aggregation mitigates seasonality and serial correlation, it shortens the time…

基于小波展开的时变阈值时间序列模型AI 解读

This paper develops a threshold model with a time-varying threshold, represented using a wavelet series expansion. The model adequately captures irregular and abrupt variations, as well as smooth changes in the threshold parameter, allowing greater flexibility than Fourier-based approaches. Simulation experiments and real-data applications are used to evaluate the model's performance.

多个时间序列广义误差模型之间的独立性检验AI 解读

We define generalized innovations associated with generalized error models having arbitrary distributions, that is, distributions that can be mixtures of continuous and discrete distributions. These models include stochastic volatility models and regime-switching models. We also propose statistics for testing independence between the generalized errors of these models, extending previous results of Duchesne, Ghoudi and Remillard (2012) obtained for stochastic volatility…

后验漂移下的过度参数化模型AI 解读

This paper investigates the impact of posterior drift on out-of-sample forecasting accuracy in overparametrized machine learning models. We document the loss in performance when the loadings of the data generating process change between the training and testing samples. This matters crucially in settings in which regime changes are likely to occur, for instance, in financial markets. Applied to equity premium forecasting, our results underline the sensitivity of a market…
