用于极端河流流量建模的最大自回归移动平均过程的极值性质AI 解读

Max-autogressive moving average (Max-ARMA) processes are powerful tools for modelling time series data with heavy-tailed behaviour; these are a non-linear version of the popular autoregressive moving average models. River flow data typically have features of heavy tails and non-linearity, as large precipitation events cause sudden spikes in the data that then exponentially decay. Therefore, stationary Max-ARMA models are a suitable candidate for capturing the unique temporal…

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…

时间序列模型平均与选择的损失折扣框架AI 解读

We introduce a Loss Discounting Framework for model and forecast combination which generalises and combines Bayesian model synthesis and generalized Bayes methodologies. We use a loss function to score the performance of different models and introduce a multilevel discounting scheme which allows a flexible specification of the dynamics of the model weights. This novel and simple model combination approach can be easily applied to large scale model averaging/selection, can…

非平稳计数时间序列的对数线性模型AI 解读

We propose a new model for nonstationary integer-valued time series which is particularly suitable for data with a strong trend. In contrast to popular Poisson-INGARCH models, but in line with classical GARCH models, we propose to pick the conditional distributions from nearly scale invariant families where the mean absolute value and the standard deviation are of the same order of magnitude. As an important prerequisite for applications in statistics, we prove absolute…
