非平稳时间序列中的序贯异常值检测AI 解读

A novel method for sequential outlier detection in non-stationary time series is proposed. The method tests the null hypothesis of ``no outlier'' at each time point, addressing the multiple testing problem by bounding the error probability of successive tests, using extreme value theory. The asymptotic properties of the test statistic are studied under the null hypothesis and alternative. The finite sample properties of the new detection scheme are investigated by means of a…

高维广义尖峰Fisher矩阵中尖峰数量的检验推断AI 解读

The spiked Fisher matrix is a significant topic for two-sample problems in multivariate statistical inference. This paper is dedicated to testing the number of spikes in a high-dimensional generalized spiked Fisher matrix that relaxes the Gaussian population assumption and the diagonal constraints on the population covariance matrices. First, we propose a general test statistic predicated on partial linear spectral statistics to test the number of spikes, then establish the…

利用因子辅助变量聚类估计大型协方差矩阵AI 解读

This paper studies the covariance matrix estimation for high-dimensional time series within a new framework that combines low-rank factor and latent variable-specific cluster structures. The popular methods based on assuming the sparse error covariance matrix after taking out common factors may be invalid for many financial applications. Our formulation postulates a latent model-based error cluster structure after removing observable factors, which not only leads to more…

滞后窗估计量的高斯近似与谱密度同时置信带AI 解读

In this paper we consider the construction of simultaneous confidence bands for the spectral density of a stationary time series using a Gaussian approximation for classical lag-window spectral density estimators evaluated at the set of all positive Fourier frequencies. The Gaussian approximation opens up the possibility to verify asymptotic validity of a multiplier bootstrap procedure and, even further, to derive the corresponding rate of convergence. A small simulation…

战略行为主体下的实用表现性政策学习AI 解读

This paper studies the performative policy learning problem, where agents adjust their features in response to a released policy to improve their potential outcomes, inducing an endogenous distribution shift. There has been growing interest in training machine learning models in strategic environments, including strategic classification and performative prediction. However, existing approaches often rely on restrictive parametric assumptions: micro-level utility models in…

跨时区股票收益的大型验证性动态因子模型AI 解读

We propose a confirmatory dynamic factor model for a large number of stocks whose returns are observed daily across multiple time zones. The model has a global factor and a continental factor that both drive the individual stock return series. We propose two estimators of the model: a quasi-maximum likelihood estimator (QML-just-identified), and an improved estimator based on an Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm (QML-all-res). Our estimators are consistent and…

用于非高斯多元时间序列概率预测的动态 Copula 模型AI 解读

Multivariate time series (MTS) data often include a heterogeneous mix of non-Gaussian distributional features (asymmetry, multimodality, heavy tails) and data types (continuous and discrete variables). Traditional MTS methods based on convenient parametric distributions are typically ill-equipped to model this heterogeneity. Copula models provide an appealing alternative, but present significant obstacles for fully Bayesian inference and probabilistic forecasting. To…

通过潜在不变因果机制实现时间序列领域适应AI 解读

Time series domain adaptation aims to transfer the complex temporal dependence from the labeled source domain to the unlabeled target domain. Recent advances leverage the stable causal mechanism over observed variables to model the domain-invariant temporal dependence. However, modeling precise causal structures in high-dimensional data, such as videos, remains challenging. Additionally, direct causal edges may not exist among observed variables (e.g., pixels). These…

极端协变量下的二元结果模型：估计与预测AI 解读

This paper presents a novel semiparametric method to study the effects of extreme events on binary outcomes and subsequently forecast future outcomes. Our approach, based on Bayes' theorem and regularly varying (RV) functions, facilitates a Pareto approximation in the tail without imposing parametric assumptions beyond the tail. We analyze cross-sectional as well as static and dynamic panel data models, incorporate additional covariates, and accommodate the unobserved…

用于时间序列预测的监督筛选与正则化因子方法AI 解读

Factor-based forecasting using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) is an effective machine learning tool for dimension reduction with many applications in statistics, economics, and finance. This paper introduces a Supervised Screening and Regularized Factor-based (SSRF) framework that systematically addresses high-dimensional predictor sets through a structured four-step procedure integrating both static and dynamic forecasting mechanisms. The static approach selects…

全球神经网络与金融时间序列预测中的数据规模效应AI 解读

Neural networks have revolutionized many empirical fields, yet their application to financial time series forecasting remains controversial. In this study, we demonstrate that the conventional practice of estimating models locally in data-scarce environments may underlie the mixed empirical performance observed in prior work. By focusing on volatility forecasting, we employ a dataset comprising over 10,000 global stocks and implement a global estimation strategy that pools…

用于时间序列信号预测的投影非线性状态空间模型AI 解读

Learning and forecasting stochastic time series is essential in various scientific fields. However, despite the proposals of nonlinear filters and deep-learning methods, it remains challenging to capture nonlinear dynamics from a few noisy samples and predict future trajectories with uncertainty estimates while maintaining computational efficiency. Here, we propose a fast algorithm to learn and forecast nonlinear dynamics from noisy time series data. A key feature of the…

有预测与无预测条件下的非平稳报童问题AI 解读

The classic newsvendor model yields an optimal decision for a ``newsvendor'' selecting a quantity of inventory, under the assumption that the demand is drawn from a known distribution. Motivated by applications such as cloud provisioning and staffing, we consider a setting in which newsvendor-type decisions must be made sequentially, in the face of demand drawn from a stochastic process that is both unknown and nonstationary. All prior work on this problem either (a) assumes…

时序机制区间的因果结构学习AI 解读

Understanding causal relationships in multivariate time series is essential for predicting and controlling dynamic systems in fields like economics, neuroscience, and climate science. However, existing causal discovery methods often assume stationarity, limiting their effectiveness when time series consist of sequential regimes, consecutive temporal segments with unknown boundaries and changing causal structures. In this work, we firstly introduce a framework to describe and…

张量动态条件相关模型：探索投资“圣杯”的新方法AI 解读

Style investing creates asset classes (or the so-called "styles") with low correlations, aligning well with the principle of "Holy Grail of investing" in terms of portfolio selection. The returns of styles naturally form a tensor-valued time series, which requires new tools for studying the dynamics of the conditional correlation matrix to facilitate the aforementioned principle. Towards this goal, we introduce a new tensor dynamic conditional correlation (TDCC) model, which…

依赖与不确定性：基于 Tsallis 熵的信息度量AI 解读

In multivariate analysis, uncertainty arises from two sources: the marginal distributions of the variables and their dependence structure. Quantifying the dependence structure is crucial, as it provides valuable insights into the relationships among components of a random vector. Copula functions effectively capture this dependence structure independent of marginals, making copula-based information measures highly significant. However, existing copula-based information…

对照始终不可观测时的时间序列处理效应分析AI 解读

Estimating treatment effects in time series data presents a significant challenge, especially when the control group is always unobservable. For example, in analyzing the effects of Christmas on retail sales, we lack direct observation of what would have occurred in late December without the Christmas impact. To address this, we try to recover the control group in the event period while accounting for confounders and temporal dependencies. Experimental results on the M5…

利用一致性预测组合预测按地区与能源来源分解的意大利日电力产量AI 解读

A novel approach is applied for improving forecast accuracy and achieving coherence in forecasting the Italian daily energy generation time series. In hierarchical frameworks such as national energy generation disaggregated by geographical zones and energy sources, independently generated base forecasts often result in inconsistencies across the constraints. We deal with this issue through a coherent balanced multi-task forecast combination approach, which combines unbiased…

从时间序列因果图的抽象表示识别总效应AI 解读

We study the problem of identifiability of the total effect of an intervention from observational time series in the situation, common in practice, where one only has access to abstractions of the true causal graph. We consider here two abstractions: the extended summary causal graph, which conflates all lagged causal relations but distinguishes between lagged and instantaneous relations, and the summary causal graph which does not give any indication about the lag between…

带约束的时间序列预测AI 解读

Time series forecasting presents unique challenges that limit the effectiveness of traditional machine learning algorithms. To address these limitations, various approaches have incorporated linear constraints into learning algorithms, such as generalized additive models and hierarchical forecasting. In this paper, we propose a unified framework for integrating and combining linear constraints in time series forecasting. Within this framework, we show that the exact…

基于保形预测的投资组合选择AI 解读

This study examines portfolio selection using predictive models for portfolio returns. Portfolio selection is a fundamental task in finance, and a variety of methods have been developed to achieve this goal. For instance, the mean-variance approach constructs portfolios by balancing the trade-off between the mean and variance of asset returns, while the quantile-based approach optimizes portfolios by considering tail risk. These methods often depend on distributional…

不同疲劳阶段关节角度的统一置信带AI 解读

We develop uniform confidence bands for the mean function of stationary time series as a post-hoc analysis of multiple change point detection in functional time series. In particular, the methodology in this work provides bands for those segments where the jump size exceeds a certain threshold $Δ$. In \cite{bastian2024multiplechangepointdetection} such exceedences of $Δ$ were related to fatigue states of a running athlete. The extension to confidence bands stems from an…

多项式尾部噪声下的时间序列趋势估计AI 解读

For time series data observed at non-random and possibly non-equidistant time points, we estimate the trend function nonparametrically. Under the assumption of a bounded total variation of the function and low-order moment conditions on the errors we propose a nonlinear wavelet estimator which uses a Haar-type basis adapted to a possibly non-dyadic sample size. An appropriate thresholding scheme for sparse signals with an additive polynomial-tailed noise is first derived in…

变分因果推断AI 解读

Estimating an individual's potential outcomes under counterfactual treatments is a challenging task for traditional causal inference and supervised learning approaches when the outcome is high-dimensional (e.g. gene expressions, impulse responses, human faces) and covariates are relatively limited. In this case, to construct one's outcome under a counterfactual treatment, it is crucial to leverage individual information contained in its observed factual outcome on top of the…
