灵活函数库下斜向回归树的收敛率AI 解读

We develop a theoretical framework for the analysis of oblique decision trees, where the splits at each decision node occur at linear combinations of the covariates (as opposed to conventional tree constructions that force axis-aligned splits involving only a single covariate). While this methodology has garnered significant attention from the computer science and optimization communities since the mid-80s, the advantages they offer over their axis-aligned counterparts…

正则变动时间序列无界极端簇泛函的极限定理AI 解读

A blocks method is used to define clusters of extreme values in stationary time series. The cluster starts at the first large value in the block and ends at the last one. The block cluster measure (the point measure at clusters) encodes different aspects of extremal properties. Its limiting behaviour is handled by vague convergence, hence the set of test functions consists of bounded, shift-invariant functionals that vanish around zero. If unbounded or non shift-invariant…

面板数据观测驱动状态空间计数模型的分类AI 解读

State-space models are widely used in many applications. In the domain of count data, one such example is the model proposed by Harvey and Fernandes (1989). Unlike many of its parameter-driven alternatives, this model is observation-driven, leading to closed-form expressions for the predictive density. In this paper, we demonstrate the need to extend the model of Harvey and Fernandes (1989) by showing that their model is not variance stationary. Our extension can accommodate…

目标 PCA：大维面板数据的迁移学习AI 解读

This paper develops a novel method to estimate a latent factor model for a large target panel with missing observations by optimally using the information from auxiliary panel data sets. We refer to our estimator as target-PCA. Transfer learning from auxiliary panel data allows us to deal with a large fraction of missing observations and weak signals in the target panel. We show that our estimator is more efficient and can consistently estimate weak factors, which are not…

参数化分位数自回归条件持续期模型及日内风险价值应用AI 解读

The modeling of high-frequency data that qualify financial asset transactions has been an area of relevant interest among statisticians and econometricians -- above all, the analysis of time series of financial durations. Autoregressive conditional duration (ACD) models have been the main tool for modeling financial transaction data, where duration is usually defined as the time interval between two successive events. These models are usually specified in terms of a…

GARCH 模型的随机变分推断AI 解读

Stochastic variational inference algorithms are derived for fitting various heteroskedastic time series models. We examine Gaussian, t, and skew-t response GARCH models and fit these using Gaussian variational approximating densities. We implement efficient stochastic gradient ascent procedures based on the use of control variates or the reparameterization trick and demonstrate that the proposed implementations provide a fast and accurate alternative to Markov chain Monte…

通过连续变量离散化分析海洋生态系统中的关联AI 解读

Understanding and predicting interactions between predators and prey and their environment are fundamental for understanding food web structure, dynamics, and ecosystem function in both terrestrial and marine ecosystems.Thus, estimating the conditional associations between species and their environments is important for exploring connections or cooperative links in the ecosystem, which in turn can help to clarify such causal relationships. For this purpose, a relevant and…

非平稳自回归与预测回归模型的断点日期估计AI 解读

In this article, we study the statistical and asymptotic properties of break-point estimators in nonstationary autoregressive and predictive regression models for testing the presence of a single structural break at an unknown location in the full sample. Moreover, we investigate aspects such as how the persistence properties of covariates and the location of the break-point affects the limiting distribution of the proposed break-point estimators.

时间序列区块最大值的非退化 U 统计量极限定理AI 解读

The block maxima method is a classical and widely applied statistical method for time series extremes. It has recently been found that respective estimators whose asymptotics are driven by empirical means can be improved by using sliding rather than disjoint block maxima. Similar results are derived for general non-degenerate U-statistics of arbitrary order, in the multivariate time series case. Details are worked out for selected examples: the empirical variance, the…

利用随机微分方程刻画股票价格时间序列的结构突变AI 解读

This paper studies the effect of quarterly earnings reports on the stock price. The profitability of the stock is modelled by geometric Brownian diffusion and the Constant Elasticity of Variance model. We fit several variations of stochastic differential equations to the pre-and after-report period using the Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Grid Search of parameters method. By examining the change in the model parameters after reports' publication, the study reveals that…

利用细分数据与机器学习预测通胀AI 解读

This paper examines the effectiveness of several forecasting methods for predicting inflation, focusing on aggregating disaggregated forecasts - also known in the literature as the bottom-up approach. Taking the Brazilian case as an application, we consider different disaggregation levels for inflation and employ a range of traditional time series techniques as well as linear and nonlinear machine learning (ML) models to deal with a larger number of predictors. For many…

无预设空间权重限制的面板空间自回归模型快速两阶段变分贝叶斯估计AI 解读

This paper proposes a fast two-stage variational Bayesian (VB) algorithm to estimate unrestricted panel spatial autoregressive models. Using Dirichlet-Laplace priors, we are able to uncover the spatial relationships between cross-sectional units without imposing any a priori restrictions. Monte Carlo experiments show that our approach works well for both long and short panels. We are also the first in the literature to develop VB methods to estimate large covariance matrices…

分位数自回归与预测回归中单位根中等偏离的渐近理论AI 解读

We establish the asymptotic theory in quantile autoregression when the model parameter is specified with respect to moderate deviations from the unit boundary of the form (1 + c / k) with a convergence sequence that diverges at a rate slower than the sample size n. Then, extending the framework proposed by Phillips and Magdalinos (2007), we consider the limit theory for the near-stationary and the near-explosive cases when the model is estimated with a conditional quantile…

有限时间序列下基于条件独立检验的层级拓扑排序AI 解读

Learning directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) to identify causal relations underlying observational data is crucial but also poses significant challenges. Recently, topology-based methods have emerged as a two-step approach to discovering DAGs by first learning the topological ordering of variables and then eliminating redundant edges, while ensuring that the graph remains acyclic. However, one limitation is that these methods would generate numerous spurious edges that require…

CUTS+：不规则时间序列中的高维因果发现AI 解读

Causal discovery in time-series is a fundamental problem in the machine learning community, enabling causal reasoning and decision-making in complex scenarios. Recently, researchers successfully discover causality by combining neural networks with Granger causality, but their performances degrade largely when encountering high-dimensional data because of the highly redundant network design and huge causal graphs. Moreover, the missing entries in the observations further…

结合机器学习、混合 Logit 与非线性规划优化 B2B 产品报价AI 解读

In B2B markets, value-based pricing and selling has become an important alternative to discounting. This study outlines a modeling method that uses customer data (product offers made to each current or potential customer, features, discounts, and customer purchase decisions) to estimate a mixed logit choice model. The model is estimated via hierarchical Bayes and machine learning, delivering customer-level parameter estimates. Customer-level estimates are input into a…

经典谱估计量的非渐近逐点与最坏情形误差界AI 解读

Spectrum estimation is a fundamental methodology in the analysis of time-series data, with applications including medicine, speech analysis, and control design. The asymptotic theory of spectrum estimation is well-understood, but the theory is limited when the number of samples is fixed and finite. This paper gives non-asymptotic error bounds for a broad class of spectral estimators, both pointwise (at specific frequencies) and in the worst case over all frequencies. The…

These lecture notes represent supplementary material for a short course on time series econometrics and network econometrics. We give emphasis on limit theory for time series regression models as well as the use of the local-to-unity parametrization when modeling time series nonstationarity. Moreover, we present various non-asymptotic theory results for moderate deviation principles when considering the eigenvalues of covariance matrices as well as asymptotics for unit root…

基于高频金融数据的大维波动率矩阵自适应稳健估计AI 解读

Several novel statistical methods have been developed to estimate large integrated volatility matrices based on high-frequency financial data. To investigate their asymptotic behaviors, they require a sub-Gaussian or finite high-order moment assumption for observed log-returns, which cannot account for the heavy-tail phenomenon of stock-returns. Recently, a robust estimator was developed to handle heavy-tailed distributions with some bounded fourth-moment assumption.…

马尔可夫链采样与滤波AI 解读

A continuous-time Markov chain rate change formula for simulation, model selection, filtering and theory is proven. It is used to develop Markov chain importance sampling, rejection sampling, branching particle filtering algorithms and filtering equations akin to the Duncan-Mortensen-Zakai equation and the Fujisaki-Kallianpur-Kunita equation but for Markov signals with general continuous-time Markov chain observations. A direct method of solving these filtering equations is…
