股市心灵感应：用图神经网络预测 MINT 与 G7 市场联系AI 解读

Emerging economies, particularly the MINT countries (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Türkiye), are gaining influence in global stock markets, although they remain susceptible to the economic conditions of developed countries like the G7 (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States). This interconnectedness and sensitivity of financial markets make understanding these relationships crucial for investors and policymakers to predict stock…

通过监督扩散进行潜变量建模AI 解读

This paper proposes a new methodological framework for estimating inferential models with latent variables. It also introduces a new latent variable regression model called LARX: an extension of the ubiquitous autoregressive model with exogenous inputs (ARX) in which any or all input variables can be latent. In deriving the LARX model, a minor contribution is also made to the field of matrix calculus: A new matrix operator is defined and applied to solve a class of…

面向二元、删失与计数变量的大型贝叶斯VARAI 解读

We extend the vector autoregression (VAR) to model binary, censored, count and unrestricted variables jointly, treating missing observations of any type in the same way. Each restricted observation is linked to a latent Gaussian variable, so that the standard machinery for VARs, such as shrinkage priors, stochastic volatility and outlier components, applies directly to the VAR for the latent variables. The latent variables have a truncated normal conditional distribution…

高维正则化加性矩阵自回归模型AI 解读

High-dimensional time series has diverse applications in econometrics and finance. Recent models for capturing temporal dependence have employed a bilinear representation for matrix time series, or the Tucker-decomposition based representation in case of tensor time series. A bilinear or Tucker-decomposition based temporal effect is difficult to interpret on many occasions, along with its computational complexity due to the non-convex nature of the underlying optimization…

高维张量值时间序列的高效可解释自回归模型AI 解读

In autoregressive modeling for tensor-valued time series, Tucker decomposition, when applied to the coefficient tensor, provides a clear interpretation of supervised factor modeling but loses its efficiency rapidly with increasing tensor order. Conversely, canonical polyadic (CP) decomposition maintains efficiency but lacks a precise statistical interpretation. To attain both interpretability and powerful dimension reduction, this paper proposes a novel approach under the…

Donsker 定理的边界：多尺度扫描统计量的渐近理论AI 解读

For nonparametric inference about a function, multiscale testing procedures resolve the need for bandwidth selection and achieve asymptotically optimal detection performance against a broad range of alternatives. However, critical values strongly depend on the noise distribution, and we argue that existing methods are either statistically infeasible, or asymptotically sub-optimal. To address this methodological challenge, we show how to develop a feasible multiscale test via…

基于 CP 分解的高维时间序列张量随机回归AI 解读

As tensor-valued data become increasingly common in time series analysis, there is a growing need for flexible and interpretable models that can handle high-dimensional predictors and responses across multiple modes. We propose a unified framework for high-dimensional tensor stochastic regression based on CANDECOMP/PARAFAC (CP) decomposition, which encompasses vector, matrix, and tensor responses and predictors as special cases. Tensor autoregression naturally arises as a…

面板数据模型中多重长期关系的分析AI 解读

The literature on panel cointegration is extensive but does not cover data sets where the cross section dimension, $n$, is larger than the time series dimension $T$. This paper proposes a novel methodology that filters out the short run dynamics using sub-sample time averages as deviations from their full-sample counterpart, and estimates the number of long-run relations and their coefficients using eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the pooled covariance matrix of these…

函数型时间序列模型中正则化估计的渐近理论AI 解读

Functional autoregressive (FAR) models provide a fundamental framework for analyzing temporally dependent functional data. However, the infinite-dimensional nature of the underlying Hilbert space introduces intrinsic ill-posedness, as the autocovariance operators are compact and lack bounded inverses. This paper develops a new theoretical framework for the regularized estimation and asymptotic analysis of FAR models. Leveraging Hilbert space theory, we rigorously…

伪因子困境：重尾椭圆因子模型中的稳健推断AI 解读

Standard methods for determining the number of factors often overestimate the true number when data exhibit heavy-tailed randomness, misinterpreting noise-induced outliers as genuine factors. This paper addresses this challenge within the framework of Elliptical Factor Models (EFM), which accommodate both heavy tails and potential non-linear dependencies common in real-world data. We demonstrate, both theoretically and empirically, that heavy-tailed noise generates spurious…

利用截断策略梯度估计量估计非平稳环境中的治疗效应AI 解读

Randomized experiments (or A/B tests) are widely used to evaluate interventions in dynamic systems such as recommendation platforms, marketplaces, and digital health. In these settings, interventions affect both current and future system states, so estimating the global average treatment effect (GATE) requires accounting for temporal dynamics, which is especially challenging in the presence of nonstationarity; existing approaches suffer from high bias, high variance, or…

用于空间结构时间序列的拉普拉斯 P 样条分布滞后非线性模型AI 解读

Distributed lag non-linear models (DLNM) have gained popularity for modeling nonlinear lagged relationships between exposures and outcomes. When applied to spatially referenced data, these models must account for spatial dependence, a challenge that has yet to be thoroughly explored within the penalized DLNM framework. This gap is mainly due to the complex model structure and high computational demands, particularly when dealing with large spatio-temporal datasets. To…

遍历网络随机微分方程AI 解读

We propose a novel framework for Network Stochastic Differential Equations (N-SDE), where each node in a network is governed by an SDE influenced by interactions with its neighbors. The evolution of each node is driven by the interplay of three key components: the node's intrinsic dynamics (\emph{momentum effect}), feedback from neighboring nodes (\emph{network effect}), and a \emph{stochastic volatility} term modeled by Brownian motion. Our primary objective is to estimate…

如何构建潜在马尔可夫模型：时间与空间的作用AI 解读

Statistical models that involve latent Markovian state processes have become immensely popular tools for analysing time series and other sequential data. However, the plethora of model formulations, the inconsistent use of terminology, and the various inferential approaches and software packages can be overwhelming to practitioners, especially when they are new to this area. With this review-like paper, we thus aim to provide guidance for both statisticians and practitioners…

Daniell 平滑周期图的 Marchenko–Pastur 定律AI 解读

Given a sample $X_0,...,X_{n-1}$ from a $d$-dimensional stationary time series $(X_t)_{t \in \mathbb{Z}}$, the most commonly used estimator for the spectral density matrix $F(θ)$ at a given frequency $θ\in [0,2π)$ is the Daniell smoothed periodogram $$S(θ) = \frac{1}{2m+1} \sum\limits_{j=-m}^m I\Big( θ+ \frac{2πj}{n} \Big) \ ,$$ which is an average over $2m+1$ many periodograms at slightly perturbed frequencies. We prove that the Marchenko-Pastur law holds for the…

稀疏太阳风时间序列结构函数估计的数据驱动去偏AI 解读

Structure functions, which represent the moments of the increments of a stochastic process, are essential complementary statistics to power spectra for analysing the self-similar behaviour of a time series. However, many real-world environmental datasets, such as those collected by spacecraft monitoring the solar wind, contain gaps, which inevitably corrupt the statistics. The nature of this corruption for structure functions remains poorly understood - indeed, often…
