含高斯场的隐马尔可夫模型：快速且可扩展的推断AI 解读

Hidden Markov models (HMMs) are powerful tools for analysing time series data that depend on discrete underlying but unobserved states. As such, they have gained prominence across numerous empirical disciplines, in particular ecology, medicine, and economics. However, the increasing complexity of empirical data is often accompanied by additional latent structure such as spatial effects, temporal trends, or measurement perturbations. Gaussian fields provide an attractive…

均值变化时间序列的差分型高维长期协方差矩阵估计AI 解读

We consider estimation of high-dimensional long-run covariance matrices for time series with nonconstant means, a setting in which conventional estimators can be severely biased. To address this difficulty, we propose a difference-based initial estimator that is robust to a broad class of mean variations, and combine it with hard thresholding, soft thresholding, and tapering to obtain sparse long-run covariance estimators for high-dimensional data. We derive convergence…

算子层面的 ARCH 模型AI 解读

AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroscedasticity (ARCH) models are standard for modeling time series exhibiting volatility, with a rich literature in univariate and multivariate settings. In recent years, these models have been extended to function spaces. However, functional ARCH and generalized ARCH (GARCH) processes established in the literature have thus far been restricted to model ``pointwise'' variances. In this paper, we propose a new ARCH framework for data residing in…

灭绝风险的置信区间：有限数据下种群存续分析的验证AI 解读

Quantitative assessment of extinction risk requires confidence intervals (CIs) that remain informative with limited data. Their usefulness has long been debated because short observation spans can make uncertainty so large that population viability analysis appears impractical. I derive new CIs for extinction probability under the drift-Wiener process, a canonical model of extinction dynamics, by introducing transformed parameters $w$ and $z$ whose maximum-likelihood…

理解金融时间序列多元分位数动态的非参数方法AI 解读

Over the last decade, nonparametric methods have gained increasing attention for modeling complex data structures due to their flexibility and minimal structural assumptions. In this paper, we study a general multivariate nonparametric regression framework that encompasses a broad class of parametric models commonly used in financial econometrics. Both the response and the covariate processes are allowed to be multivariate with fixed finite dimensions, and the framework…

适用于整数值时间序列的混合差分整数值 GARCH 模型AI 解读

In this paper, we introduce flexible observation-driven $\mathbb{Z}$-valued time series models constructed from mixtures of negative and non-negative components. Compared to models based on the standard Skellam distribution or on a difference of two integer-valued variables, our specification offers greater versatility. For example, it easily allows for skewness and bimodality. Furthermore, the observation of one component of the mixture makes interpretation and statistical…

稀疏异质马尔可夫转换异方差结构 VAR 的识别验证AI 解读

We propose a structural vector autoregressive model with a new and flexible specification of the volatility process which we call Sparse Heterogeneous Markov-Switching Heteroskedasticity. In this model, the conditional variance of each structural shock changes in time according to its own Markov process. Additionally, it features a sparse representation of Markov processes, in which the number of regimes is set to exceed that of the data-generating process, with some regimes…

缺失数据下观测驱动时间序列模型参数估计的新型多重插补方法AI 解读

Handling missing data in time series is a complex problem due to the presence of temporal dependence. General-purpose imputation methods, while widely used, often distort key statistical properties of the data, such as variance and dependence structure, leading to biased estimation and misleading inference. These issues become more pronounced in models that explicitly rely on capturing serial dependence, as standard imputation techniques fail to preserve the underlying…

基于分位数的金融收益尺度动态建模与 VaR、ES 预测AI 解读

We introduce a semiparametric approach for forecasting Value-at-Risk (VaR) and Expected Shortfall (ES) by modeling the conditional scale of financial returns, defined as the difference between two specified quantiles, via restricted quantile regression. Focusing on downside risk, VaR is derived from the left-tail quantile of rescaled returns, and ES is approximated by averaging quantiles below the VaR level. The method delivers robust, distribution-free estimates of extreme…

高维瞬时波动率矩阵的谱分析及应用AI 解读

In random matrix theory, the spectral distribution of the covariance matrix has been well studied under the large dimensional asymptotic regime when the dimensionality and the sample size tend to infinity at the same rate. However, most existing theories are built upon the assumption of independent and identically distributed samples, which may be violated in practice. For example, the observational data of continuous-time processes at discrete time points, namely, the…

高维因子模型共同结构检验：变点与双样本程序AI 解读

This work proposes a novel procedure to test for common structures across two high-dimensional factor models. The introduced test allows to uncover whether two factor models are driven by the same loading matrix up to some linear transformation. The test can be used to discover inter-individual relationships between two datasets. In addition, it can be applied to test for structural changes over time in the loading matrix of an individual factor model. The test aims to…

增长风险的稳健计量方法AI 解读

The Growth-at-Risk (GaR) framework has garnered attention in recent econometric literature, yet current approaches implicitly assume a constant Pareto exponent. We introduce novel and robust econometrics to estimate the tails of GaR based on a rigorous theoretical framework and establish validity and effectiveness. Simulations demonstrate consistent outperformance relative to existing alternatives in terms of predictive accuracy. We perform a long-term GaR analysis that…

区域组成数据的时空自回归模型AI 解读

Compositional data, such as regional shares of economic sectors or property transactions, are central to understanding structural change in economic systems across space and time. This paper introduces a spatiotemporal multivariate autoregressive model tailored for panel data with composition-valued responses at each areal unit and time point. The proposed framework enables the joint modelling of temporal dynamics and spatial dependence under compositional constraints, and…

面板数据方差变化的一致且有力的CUSUM变点检验AI 解读

This paper investigates change-point of variance in panel data models with time series of $α$-mixing. Based on the cumulative sum (CUSUM) method and the individual differences, we construct a CUSUM test for panel data models to detect variance changes. Under the null hypothesis, we derive the limit distribution of this test, which can be used to detect the change-point of variance. Under the alternative hypothesis, the limit behavior of the CUSUM test is also derived. To…

利用汇总因果图与忠实分布确定时间序列因果关系方向AI 解读

Understanding causal relations between temporal variables is a central challenge in time series analysis, particularly when the full causal structure is unknown. Even when the full causal structure cannot be fully specified, experts often succeed in providing a high-level abstraction of the causal graph, known as a summary causal graph, which captures the main causal relations between different time series while abstracting away micro-level details. In this work, we present…

超越预言机性质：近单位根解释变量下协整回归的自适应LASSOAI 解读

This paper derives new asymptotic results for the adaptive LASSO estimator in cointegrating regressions, allowing for uncertainty about whether the regressors are exact unit root processes. We study model selection probabilities, estimator consistency, and limiting distributions under standard and moving-parameter asymptotics. We further derive uniform convergence rates and the fastest local-to-zero rates detectable by the estimator under conservative and consistent tuning.…

面向连续与二元混合响应的稳健联合建模AI 解读

In many supervised learning applications, the response consists of both continuous and binary outcomes. Studies have shown that jointly modeling such mixed-type responses can substantially improve predictive performance compared to separate analyses. But outliers pose a new challenge to the existing likelihood-based modeling approaches. In this paper, we propose a new robust joint modeling framework for data with both continuous and binary responses. It is based on the…

用于风险前景预测的动态贝叶斯回归分位数合成AI 解读

This paper proposes dynamic Bayesian regression quantile synthesis (DRQS), a novel method for quantile forecasting within the Bayesian predictive synthesis (BPS) framework designed to combine quantile-specific information from multiple agent models. While existing BPS approaches primarily focus on mean forecasting, our method directly targets the conditional quantiles of the response variable by utilizing the asymmetric Laplace distribution for the synthesis function. The…

高维函数型时间序列的共形预测：地方死亡率应用AI 解读

In statistics, forecast uncertainty is often quantified using a specified statistical model, though such approaches may be vulnerable to model misspecification, selection bias, and limited finite-sample validity. While bootstrapping can potentially mitigate some of these concerns, it is often computationally demanding. Instead, we take a model-agnostic and distribution-free approach, namely conformal prediction, to construct prediction intervals in high-dimensional…

自回归模型中对初始条件稳健的推断AI 解读

This paper considers confidence intervals (CIs) for the autoregressive (AR) parameter in an AR model with an AR parameter that may be close or equal to one. Existing CIs rely on the assumption of a stationary or fixed initial condition to obtain correct asymptotic coverage and good finite sample coverage. When this assumption fails, their coverage can be quite poor. In this paper, we introduce a new CI for the AR parameter whose coverage probability is completely robust to…

线性与非线性序列依赖检验的收缩正则化AI 解读

This paper introduces a regularized test of the null hypothesis of the absence of linear and nonlinear serial dependence for high-dimensional non-Gaussian time series. Our approach extends the portmanteau test introduced in Jasiak and Neyazi (2023) to the high-dimensional setting.

预测性 CoVaR 回归中对持久性稳健的结构突变检测AI 解读

Forecasting risk (as measured by quantiles) and systemic risk (as measured by Adrian and Brunnermeiers's (2016) CoVaR) is important in economics and finance. However, past research has shown that predictive relationships may be unstable over time. Therefore, this paper develops structural break tests in predictive quantile and CoVaR regressions. These tests can detect changes in the forecasting power of covariates, and are based on the principle of self-normalization. We…

网络时间序列的欧氏镜像与一阶变点AI 解读

We describe a model for a network time series whose evolution is governed by an underlying stochastic process, known as the latent position process, in which network evolution can be represented in Euclidean space by a curve, called the Euclidean mirror. We define the notion of a first-order changepoint for a time series of networks, and construct a family of latent position process networks with underlying first-order changepoints. We prove that a spectral estimate of the…

未来干预因果效应的预测：混杂与可迁移性问题AI 解读

Recent developments in causal inference allow us to transport a causal effect of a time-fixed treatment from a randomized trial to a target population across space but within the same time frame. In contrast to transportability across space, transporting causal effects across time or forecasting causal effects of future interventions is more challenging due to time-varying confounders and time-varying effect modifiers. In this article, we seek to formally clarify the causal…
