由随机线性扩展推断偏序：十二世纪王室文书中的权力关系AI 解读

In the eleventh and twelfth centuries in England, Wales and Normandy, Royal Acta were legal documents in which witnesses were listed in order of social status. Any bishops present were listed as a group. For our purposes, each witness-list is an ordered permutation of bishop names with a known date or date-range. Changes over time in the order bishops are listed may reflect changes in their authority. Historians would like to detect and quantify these changes. There is no…

基于共同结构变化的时间序列模型聚类AI 解读

We propose a novel model-based clustering approach for samples of time series. We assume as a unique commonality that two observations belong to the same group if structural changes in their behaviours happen at the same time. We resort to a latent representation of structural changes in each time series based on random orders to induce ties among different observations. Such an approach results in a general modeling strategy and can be combined with many time-dependent…

依赖三角阵中心极限定理的一般协方差条件AI 解读

We present a general central limit theorem with simple, easy-to-check covariance-based sufficient conditions for triangular arrays of random vectors when all variables could be interdependent. The result is constructed from Stein's method, but the conditions are distinct from related work. We show that these covariance conditions nest standard assumptions studied in the literature such as $M$-dependence, mixing random fields, non-mixing autoregressive processes, and…

绿色泡沫：检测与传播的四阶段范式AI 解读

Climate change has emerged as a significant global concern, attracting increasing attention worldwide. While green bubbles may be examined through a social bubble hypothesis, it is essential not to neglect a Climate Minsky moment triggered by sudden asset price changes. The significant increase in green investments highlights the urgent need for a comprehensive understanding of these market dynamics. Therefore, the current paper introduces a novel paradigm for studying such…

高效的非对称因果关系检验AI 解读

Asymmetric causality tests are increasingly gaining popularity in different scientific fields. This approach corresponds better to reality since logical reasons behind asymmetric behavior exist and need to be considered in empirical investigations. Hatemi-J (2012) introduced the asymmetric causality tests via partial cumulative sums for positive and negative components of the variables operating within the vector autoregressive (VAR) model. However, since the residuals…

Utilizing a comprehensive dataset spanning from 2010 to 2022, the study aims to employ advanced ML models, particularly those adept in time series forecasting, to predict future inflation trends. The methodology…

异方差下的非线性协整检验AI 解读

This article discusses Shin (1994, Econometric Theory)-type tests for nonlinear cointegration in the presence of variance breaks. We build on cointegration test approaches under heteroskedasticity (Cavaliere and Taylor, 2006, Journal of Time Series Analysis) and nonlinearity, serial correlation, and endogeneity (Choi and Saikkonen, 2010, Econometric Theory) to propose a bootstrap test and prove its consistency. A Monte Carlo study shows the approach to have satisfactory…

如何比较 Copula 预测？AI 解读

This paper lays out a principled approach to compare copula forecasts via strictly consistent scores. We first establish the negative result that, in general, copulas fail to be elicitable, implying that copula predictions cannot sensibly be compared on their own. A notable exception is on Fréchet classes, that is, when the marginal distribution structure is given and fixed, in which case we give suitable scores for the copula forecast comparison. As a remedy for the general…

不同波动特征下的股票价格预测：循环神经网络与混合专家模型比较AI 解读

This study evaluates the effectiveness of a Mixture of Experts (MoE) model for stock price prediction by comparing it to a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and a linear regression model. The MoE framework combines an RNN for volatile stocks and a linear model for stable stocks, dynamically adjusting the weight of each model through a gating network. Results indicate that the MoE approach significantly improves predictive accuracy across different volatility profiles. The RNN…

稳健且可复现的网络探索AI 解读

We propose a novel methodology for discovering the presence of relationships realized as binary time series between variables in high dimension. To make it visually intuitive, we regard the existence of a relationship as an edge connection, and call a collection of such edges a network. Our objective is thus rephrased as uncovering the network by selecting relevant edges, referred to as the network exploration. Our methodology is based on multiple testing for the presence or…

无需稀疏性假设的高维协变量局部投影推断AI 解读

This paper presents a comprehensive local projections (LP) framework for estimating future responses to current shocks, robust to high-dimensional controls without relying on sparsity assumptions. The approach is applicable to various settings, including impulse response analysis and difference-in-differences (DiD) estimation. While methods like LASSO exist, they often assume most parameters are exactly zero, limiting their effectiveness in dense data generation processes. I…

稳定的降秩向量自回归模型识别AI 解读

The vector autoregression (VAR) has been widely used in system identification, econometrics, natural science, and many other areas. However, when the state dimension becomes large the parameter dimension explodes. So rank reduced modelling is attractive and is well developed. But a fundamental requirement in almost all applications is stability of the fitted model. And this has not been addressed in the rank reduced case. Here, we develop, for the first time, a closed-form…

利用随机森林模型预测阿根廷短期通胀AI 解读

This paper examines the performance of Random Forest models in forecasting short-term monthly inflation in Argentina, based on a database of monthly indicators since 1962. It is found that these models achieve forecast accuracy that is statistically comparable to the consensus of market analysts' expectations surveyed by the Central Bank of Argentina (BCRA) and to traditional econometric models. One advantage of Random Forest models is that, as they are non-parametric, they…

用于非对称贝叶斯小波收缩的一类先验AI 解读

This paper proposes a class of asymmetric priors to perform Bayesian wavelet shrinkage in the standard nonparametric regression model with Gaussian error. The priors are composed by mixtures of a point mass function at zero and one of the following distributions: asymmetric beta, Kumaraswamy, asymmetric triangular or skew normal. Statistical properties of the associated shrinkage rules such as squared bias, variance and risks are obtained numerically and discussed. Monte…

函数型空间自回归模型AI 解读

This study introduces a novel spatial autoregressive model in which the dependent variable is a function that may exhibit functional autocorrelation with the outcome functions of nearby units. This model can be characterized as a simultaneous integral equation system, which, in general, does not necessarily have a unique solution. For this issue, we provide a simple condition on the magnitude of the spatial interaction to ensure the uniqueness in data realization. For…

何时能够对弱潜在因子开展统计推断？AI 解读

This article establishes a new and comprehensive estimation and inference theory for principal component analysis (PCA) under the weak factor model that allow for cross-sectional dependent idiosyncratic components under the nearly minimal factor strength relative to the noise level or signal-to-noise ratio. Our theory is applicable regardless of the relative growth rate between the cross-sectional dimension $N$ and temporal dimension $T$. This more realistic assumption and…

用于生物医学时间序列变点分析的广义混合效应模型AI 解读

Motivated by two distinct types of biomedical time series data, digital health monitoring and neuroimaging, we develop a novel approach for changepoint analysis that uses a generalised linear mixed model framework. The generalised linear mixed model framework lets us incorporate structure that is usually present in biomedical time series data. We embed the mixed model in a dynamic programming algorithm for detecting multiple changepoints in the fMRI data. We evaluate the…

含依赖误差的周期向量自回归时间序列模型诊断检验AI 解读

In this article, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the residual autocorrelations for periodic vector autoregressive time series models (PVAR henceforth) with uncorrelated but dependent innovations (i.e., weak PVAR). We then deduce the asymptotic distribution of the Ljung-Box-McLeod modified Portmanteau statistics for weak PVAR models. In Monte Carlo experiments, we illustrate that the proposed test statistics have reasonable finite sample performance. When the innovations…

GARCHX-NoVaS：纳入外生变量的无模型预测方法AI 解读

In this work, we explore the forecasting ability of a recently proposed normalizing and variance-stabilizing (NoVaS) transformation with the possible inclusion of exogenous variables. From an applied point-of-view, extra knowledge such as fundamentals- and sentiments-based information could be beneficial to improve the prediction accuracy of market volatility if they are incorporated into the forecasting process. In the classical approach, these models including exogenous…

多元时间序列均值变点的检测AI 解读

This work delves into presenting a probabilistic method for analyzing linear process data with weakly dependent innovations, focusing on detecting change-points in the mean and estimating its spectral density. We develop a test for identifying change-points in the mean of data coming from such a model, aiming to detect shifts in the underlying distribution. Additionally, we propose a consistent estimator for the spectral density of the data, contingent upon fundamental…

众数因子分析：面向条件众数的高维降维方法AI 解读

The modal factor model represents a new factor model for dimension reduction in high dimensional panel data. Unlike the approximate factor model that targets for the mean factors, it captures factors that influence the conditional mode of the distribution of the observables. Statistical inference is developed with the aid of mode estimation, where the modal factors and the loadings are estimated through maximizing a kernel-type objective function. An easy-to-implement…

利用加权似然将稀疏标签纳入隐马尔可夫模型：生物记录研究中的准确性与可解释性AI 解读

Ecologists often use a hidden Markov model to decode a latent process, such as a sequence of an animal's behaviours, from an observed biologging time series. Modern technological devices such as video recorders and drones now allow researchers to directly observe an animal's behaviour. Using these observations as labels of the latent process can improve a hidden Markov model's accuracy when decoding the latent process. However, many wild animals are observed infrequently.…

混合类型时间序列广义线性模型的 Granger 因果性：多模态脑连接案例AI 解读

This paper is motivated by studies in neuroscience experiments to understand interactions between nodes in a brain network using different types of data modalities that capture different distinct facets of brain activity. To assess Granger-causality, we introduce a flexible framework through a general class of models that accommodates mixed types of data (binary, count, continuous, and positive components) formulated in a generalized linear model (GLM) fashion. Statistical…

流形时间序列的平稳性AI 解读

In modern interdisciplinary research, manifold time series data have been garnering more attention. A critical question in analyzing such data is ``stationarity'', which reflects the underlying dynamic behavior and is crucial across various fields like cell biology, neuroscience and empirical finance. Yet, there has been an absence of a formal definition of stationarity that is tailored to manifold time series. This work bridges this gap by proposing the first definitions of…
