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…

噪声信息下网络级联源头的最快推断AI 解读

We study the problem of estimating the source of a network cascade given a time series of noisy information about the spread. Initially, there is a single vertex affected by the cascade (the source) and the cascade spreads in discrete time steps across the network. The cascade evolution is hidden, but one can observe a time series of noisy signals from each vertex. The time series of a vertex is assumed to be a sequence of i.i.d. samples from a pre-change distribution $Q_0$ b…

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…

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…

反转区域敏感性分析以揭示敏感的模型行为AI 解读

We address the question of sensitivity analysis for model outputs of any dimension using Regional Sensitivity Analysis (RSA). Classical RSA computes sensitivity indices related to the impact of model inputs variations on the occurrence of a target region of the model output space. In this work, we invert this perspective by proposing to find, for a given target model input, the region whose occurrence is best explained by the variations of this input. When it exists, this…

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…

通过多重等值轮廓估计求解时间序列输出模拟器的逆问题AI 解读

Computer simulators are often used as a substitute of complex real-life phenomena which are either expensive or infeasible to experiment with. This paper focuses on how to efficiently solve the inverse problem for an expensive to evaluate time series valued computer simulator. The research is motivated by a hydrological simulator which has to be tuned for generating realistic rainfall-runoff measurements in Athens, Georgia, USA. Assuming that the simulator returns g(x,t)…

利用广义加性模型与深度神经网络估计高分辨率用电峰值AI 解读

This paper covers predicting high-resolution electricity peak demand features given lower-resolution data. This is a relevant setup as it answers whether limited higher-resolution monitoring helps to estimate future high-resolution peak loads when the high-resolution data is no longer available. That question is particularly interesting for network operators considering replacing high-resolution monitoring predictive models due to economic considerations. We propose models…

同时估计结构参数与初始条件的稀疏动力系统识别AI 解读

Sparse Identification of Nonlinear Dynamics (SINDy) has been shown to successfully recover governing equations from data; however, this approach assumes the initial condition to be exactly known in advance and is sensitive to noise. In this work we propose an integral SINDy (ISINDy) method to simultaneously identify model structure and parameters of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) from noisy time-series observations. First, the states are estimated via…

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…

层级时间序列预测AI 解读

This paper addresses a common problem with hierarchical time series. Time series analysis demands the series for a model to be the sum of multiple series at corresponding sub-levels. Hierarchical Time Series presents a two-fold problem. First, each individual time series model at each level in the hierarchy must be estimated separately. Second, those models must maintain their hierarchical structure over the specified period of time, which is complicated by performance…

股票收益动态网络的监测AI 解读

In this paper, we study the connection between the companies in the Swedish capital market. We consider 28 companies included in the determination of the market index OMX30. The network structure of the market is constructed using different methods to determine the distance between the companies. We use hierarchical clustering methods to find the relation among the companies in each window. Next, we obtain one-dimensional time series of the distances between the clustering…

通过收缩先验控制非高斯过程的灵活性AI 解读

The normal inverse Gaussian (NIG) and generalized asymmetric Laplace (GAL) distributions can be seen as skewed and semi-heavy-tailed extensions of the Gaussian distribution. Models driven by these more flexible noise distributions are then regarded as flexible extensions of simpler Gaussian models. Inferential procedures tend to overestimate the degree of non-Gaussianity in the data and therefore we propose controlling the flexibility of these non-Gaussian models by adding…

用于识别网络社群的结构模型AI 解读

The objective of this paper is to identify and analyze the response actions of a set of players embedded in sub-networks in the context of interaction and learning. We characterize strategic network formation as a static game of interactions where players maximize their utility depending on the connections they establish and multiple interdependent actions that permit group-specific parameters of players. It is challenging to apply this type of model to real-life scenarios…

条件异方差下线性工具变量回归的高功效子向量 Anderson–Rubin 检验AI 解读

We introduce a new test for a two-sided hypothesis involving a subset of the structural parameter vector in the linear instrumental variables (IVs) model. Guggenberger et al. (2019), GKM19 from now on, introduce a subvector Anderson-Rubin (AR) test with data-dependent critical values that has asymptotic size equal to nominal size for a parameter space that allows for arbitrary strength or weakness of the IVs and has uniformly nonsmaller power than the projected AR test…

基于递归间距乘积的拟合优度检验AI 解读

We introduce a new statistical test based on the observed spacings of ordered data. The statistic is sensitive to detect non-uniformity in random samples, or short-lived features in event time series. Under some conditions, this new test can outperform existing ones, such as the well known Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Anderson-Darling tests, in particular when the number of samples is small and differences occur over a small quantile of the null hypothesis distribution. A detailed…

基于主成分分析与神经网络的金融时间序列异常检测AI 解读

A major concern when dealing with financial time series involving a wide variety ofmarket risk factors is the presence of anomalies. These induce a miscalibration of the models used toquantify and manage risk, resulting in potential erroneous risk measures. We propose an approachthat aims to improve anomaly detection in financial time series, overcoming most of the inherentdifficulties. Valuable features are extracted from the time series by compressing and reconstructingthe…

利用跳跃型过程建模比特币价格与媒体关注度AI 解读

In this paper, we present a new bivariate model for the joint description of the Bitcoin prices and the media attention to Bitcoin. Our model is based on the class of the Lévy processes and is able to realistically reproduce the jump-type dynamics of the considered time series. We focus on the low-frequency setup, which is for the Lévy - based models essentially more difficult than the high-frequency case. We design a semiparametric estimation procedure for the statistical…

横截面依赖下空气质量评估的时空事件研究AI 解读

Event Studies (ES) are statistical tools that assess whether a particular event of interest has caused changes in the level of one or more relevant time series. We are interested in ES applied to multivariate time series characterized by high spatial (cross-sectional) and temporal dependence. We pursue two goals. First, we propose to extend the existing taxonomy on ES, mainly deriving from the financial field, by generalizing the underlying statistical concepts and then…

具有任务依赖平稳先验的贝叶斯卷积深度集合AI 解读

Convolutional deep sets are the architecture of a deep neural network (DNN) that can model stationary stochastic process. This architecture uses the kernel smoother and the DNN to construct the translation equivariant functional representations, and thus reflects the inductive bias of the stationarity into DNN. However, since this architecture employs the kernel smoother known as the non-parametric model, it may produce ambiguous representations when the number of data…
