条件期望分位数的估计风险AI 解读

We establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of a two-step estimator of conditional expectiles in the context of conditional scale models. We first estimate the conditional variance parameters by quasi-maximum likelihood and then compute the unconditional expectile of the innovations using the empirical distribution of the standardized residuals. We show how replacing true innovations with standardized residuals affects the asymptotic variances of both conditional…

具有分组边效应的降秩网络自回归AI 解读

We propose the Edge-Grouped Reduced-Rank Network Autoregressive model (Edge-Grouped RRNAR) for multivariate time series observed over a network. The model allows transmission effects to vary across prespecified and economically interpretable groups of edges, while using a low-rank structure to capture cross-variable dynamics. This structure separates where network transmission occurs from which variables transmit and respond. We develop a topology-aware and block-specific…

非线性观测下实例最优的稀疏恢复：统一框架AI 解读

This paper develops a unified framework for instance optimal sparse recovery from nonlinear observations. The main ingredient is a signal-dependent restricted approximate invertibility condition (RAIC) of some gradient, which leads to the instance optimality of iterative hard thresholding. Under Gaussian designs, we apply the proposed framework to phaseless, one-bit, and ReLU measurements, which correspond to the problems of sparse phase retrieval, one-bit compressed…

COSTA：网络与时间干扰下的协方差优化设计及因果推断AI 解读

Experiments on networks observed over time face network spillovers, temporal carryover, and dependence deliberately introduced by the design. We propose COSTA---Covariance-Optimized Spatiotemporal Treatment Allocation---a joint Bernoulli design for unit--time assignments. Under common treatment marginals and a nonnegative linear network--temporal exposure model, Horvitz--Thompson bias for the sustained all-treated versus all-control contrast is exactly the negative expected…

含不良控制变量的双重差分AI 解读

This paper considers difference-in-differences identification strategies when the parallel trends assumption holds after conditioning on covariates that may themselves be affected by the treatment (often referred to as "bad controls"). We show that common approaches such as simply dropping bad controls are often ill-advised and develop two alternative approaches that allow bad controls to function as genuine controls despite being affected by treatment. First, we derive…

多个研究设计下的主报告估计AI 解读

To study a scalar parameter, a researcher may consider multiple research designs. Based on the evidence across designs, the researcher may wish to formulate a headline estimate of the parameter. I examine how to choose this headline when it is unclear which design is most appropriate for studying the parameter. I model this setting by assuming that (i) exactly one of the designs is valid for the parameter and (ii) the researcher has ambiguity about which design is valid,…

用于高维概率电价预测的在线多变量正则化分布回归AI 解读

Probabilistic electricity price forecasting (PEPF) is vital for short-term electricity markets, yet the multivariate nature of day-ahead prices - spanning 24 consecutive hours - remains underexplored. At the same time, real-time decision-making requires methods that are both accurate and fast. We introduce an online algorithm for multivariate distributional regression models, allowing efficient modeling of the conditional means, variances, and dependence structures of…

线性回归的稳健方差估计：投影几何视角AI 解读

Inference in linear regression commonly treats OLS residuals as proxies for unobserved errors. This approximation can fail when the regression projection is nonlocal relative to the error-dependence structure. Residualization then shifts covariance information across observations and clusters, while conventional heteroskedasticity-consistent (HC) and cluster-robust variance estimators (CRVE) retain only diagonal or within-cluster residual moments and may therefore understate…

配对多元分类结局的关联 Tucker 分解个体化回归AI 解读

We propose a joint individualized hurdle-ordinal regression model for paired zero-inflated ordinal outcomes with subject-specific, spatially varying, and time-varying covariate effects, motivated by the Iowa Fluoride Study (IFS). The two outcomes, dental caries and dental fluorosis, are measured repeatedly across ages at fine spatial resolution, yielding nested longitudinal data with substantial zero inflation, ordinality, and heterogeneity across individuals and locations.…

具有平稳有向无环图结构的高维时间序列贝叶斯推断AI 解读

In multivariate time series analysis, understanding the underlying causal relationships among variables is often of interest for various applications. Directed acyclic graphs (DAGs) provide a powerful framework for representing causal dependencies. This paper proposes a novel Bayesian approach for modeling multivariate time series where conditional independencies and causal structure are encoded by a DAG. The proposed model allows structural properties such as stationarity…

允许反馈的非线性面板数据模型矩约束AI 解读

Many panel data methods, while allowing for general dependence between covariates and time-invariant agent-specific heterogeneity, place strong a priori restrictions on feedback: how past outcomes, covariates, and heterogeneity map into future covariate levels. Ruling out feedback entirely, as often occurs in practice, is unattractive in many dynamic economic settings. We provide a general characterization of all feedback and heterogeneity robust (FHR) moment conditions for…

哪项政策有效、在哪里有效？双重差分中的州级处理效应估计与推断AI 解读

Policies with a common objective and implementation date may differ in details or context. We distinguish the aggregate average treatment effect on the treated (ATT) from sub-aggregate ATTs defined by implementation cohort, jurisdiction, period, or policy type. UN-DID and DID-INT, two DiD estimators that construct jurisdiction-by-time effects, estimate these ATTs under parallel-trends conditions matched to the aggregation. In CPS placebo-law simulations, randomization…

非流动性风险值AI 解读

Market efficiency relies fundamentally on stable liquidity. Consequently, forecasting liquidity dynamics is a priority for both investors and regulators. We introduce a new tail-risk metric, Illiquidity-at-Risk (IlliQaR), designed to quantify the magnitude of extreme liquidity dry-ups. Relying upon the realized Amihud (a precise illiquidity measurement derived from high-frequency data as the ratio of realized volatility to trading volume) we assess the predictive power of…

元理论多重宇宙分析：将理论作为数据以改善研究可靠性AI 解读

Here we present a method for measuring, analyzing and reducing theoretical uncertainty. We call it metatheoretical multiverse analysis (MMA). The method is important because the reliability and replicability of scientific observation and testing of a phenomenon are a function of theoretical uncertainty thus reducing it is a method for improving theory. The MMA method requires encoding theory as propositional logic between variables (nodes) and their relationships with one…

结局缺失下高维线性模型的有效推断AI 解读

This paper is concerned with inference on the regression function of a high-dimensional linear model when outcomes are missing at random. We propose an estimator that combines a Lasso pilot estimate of the regression function with a bias correction term based on the weighted residuals of the Lasso regression. The weights depend on estimates of the missingness probabilities (propensity scores) and solve a convex optimization program that trades off bias and variance…

用于非线性时间序列的贝叶斯分位数深度回声状态网络AI 解读

Conditional quantiles are central to asymmetric decision losses, tail-risk assessment, and interval forecasts, but Bayesian quantile regression for nonlinear time series can be difficult when the temporal feature vector is high-dimensional. We develop the quantile deep echo state network (Q-DESN), a Bayesian quantile regression model conditional on fixed features generated by a deep echo state network. Conditional on a specified reservoir construction and feature map,…

从控制到处理：超越已观测面板的因果预测AI 解读

Conventional panel data methods recover retrospective counterfactuals within the observed horizon. Many policy decisions, however, are prospective: how would an untreated unit evolve beyond the observed panel under an intervention it has not previously experienced? We develop a causal forecasting framework that combines the counterfactual logic of synthetic controls with multivariate time-series extrapolation. Under a latent factor model, we impose low-rank structure on the…

见树亦见林：BART 的高斯过程极限AI 解读

Bayesian Additive Regression Trees (BART) have shown state-of-the-art performance in both prediction and causal inference problems. Previous theoretical work has attempted to explain BART's superior performance by establishing posterior contraction rates for standard BART models, but these rates depend strongly on the number of covariates. Here, we take a different approach and study the behavior of BART as the number of trees grows towards infinity. We show that in this…

边界断点设计中的操纵检验AI 解读

We propose the first manipulation test designed for boundary discontinuity designs (BDDs) with general boundary shapes. A BDD is a multidimensional extension of the regression discontinuity design (RDD) in which treatment assignment is determined by whether the multidimensional running variable crosses a lower-dimensional boundary set. The test avoids multivariate density estimation and builds on the observation that, in the absence of manipulation, observations near the…

高维 Lévy 驱动 OU 过程的低秩与稀疏漂移估计AI 解读

We study drift estimation for discretely observed high-dimensional Lévy-driven Ornstein--Uhlenbeck processes when the drift admits a low-rank-plus-sparse approximation. A localized, increment-truncated pseudo-likelihood is regularized by nuclear and entrywise $\ell_1$ norms. A weighted joint-cone argument and restricted cancellation condition yield non-asymptotic Frobenius oracle inequalities for exact and approximate structure. The stochastic complexity is $rd+s\log d$,…

主权评级迁移计数的边际持久性与动态 Copula 依赖：离散区间似然 MAGMAR 分析AI 解读

This paper develops an observed-data likelihood for applying moving-aggregate modified autoregressive (MAGMAR) copula time-series models to discrete sovereign rating-migration counts with time-varying exposure. An annual count identifies a probability-integral-transform interval rather than a unique latent point, so the likelihood integrates the latent process over the complete sequence of count intervals. A guided sequential Monte Carlo implementation incorporates the…

双框抽样框架下的半参数有效数据整合AI 解读

Integrating probability and non-probability samples is increasingly important, yet unknown non-probability inclusion mechanisms complicate identification and efficient estimation. We develop semiparametric theory for dual-frame data integration and propose two complementary estimators. The first models the conditional inclusion probability parametrically and, under correct specification, attains the semiparametric efficiency bound. The probability sample serves as an…

短面板中随机系数矩的识别与估计AI 解读

We study identification and estimation of moments of random coefficients in short linear panels, allowing the number of heterogeneous coefficients to exceed the number of equations observed for each unit. Under moment homogeneity, different regressor histories impose restrictions on the same moment vector. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for these restrictions to identify moments of a given order, stated in terms of the row spaces generated by the regressor…

条件异方差时间序列模型参数变化的稳健检验AI 解读

Structural changes and outliers often coexist, complicating statistical inference. This paper addresses the problem of testing for parameter changes in conditionally heteroscedastic time series models, particularly in the presence of outliers. To mitigate the impact of outliers, we introduce a two-step procedure comprising robust estimation and residual truncation. Based on this procedure, we propose a residual-based robust CUSUM test and its self-normalized counterpart. We…
