用 LIME 与 SHAP 解释时间序列预测：航空旅客数据案例AI 解读

Time-series forecasting underpins critical decisions across aviation, energy, retail and health. Classical autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA) models offer interpretability via coefficients but struggle with nonlinearities, whereas tree-based machine-learning models such as XGBoost deliver high accuracy but are often opaque. This paper presents a unified framework for interpreting time-series forecasts using local interpretable model-agnostic explanations (LIME)…

利用时间层级预测提高日前电价预测精度：THieFAI 解读

We introduce the concept of temporal hierarchy forecasting (THieF) in predicting day-ahead electricity prices and show that reconciling forecasts for hourly products and 2- to 24-hour blocks can significantly (up to 13%) improve accuracy at all levels. These results remain consistent throughout a challenging 4-year test period (2021-2024) in the German and Spanish power markets and across model architectures, including linear regression, shallow feedforward neural networks,…

高维矩阵时间序列主效应因子模型的识别与稀疏性AI 解读

We propose a general identification framework for main effect factor models for matrix-valued time series. The classical sum-to-zero restriction on the row and column main effects is replaced by a broad class of shift-varying functions, which includes weighted averages, quantiles, and reference-unit anchors as special cases. We prove that the shift-varying property is necessary and sufficient for parameter identification, and we derive closed-form estimators under minimal…

自相关数据下 Mann–Kendall tau 的高斯分布问题AI 解读

Non-parametric Mann-Kendall tests for autocorrelated data rely on the assumption that the distribution of the normalized Mann-Kendall tau is Gaussian. While this assumption holds asymptotically for stationary autoregressive processes of order 1 (AR(1)) and simple moving average (SMA) processes when sampling over an increasingly long period, it often fails for finite-length time series. In such cases, the empirical distribution of the Mann-Kendall tau deviates significantly…

特征与自回归滞后的贝叶斯联合选择：环境与金融预测应用AI 解读

We develop a Bayesian framework for variable selection in linear regression with autocorrelated errors, accommodating lagged covariates and autoregressive structures. This setting occurs in time series applications where responses depend on contemporaneous or past explanatory variables and persistent stochastic shocks, including financial modeling, hydrological forecasting, and meteorological applications requiring temporal dependency capture. Our methodology uses…

重建哥伦比亚地方劳动指标：机器学习与深度学习的整合方法AI 解读

This study proposes a unified multi-stage framework to reconstruct consistent monthly and annual labor indicators for all 33 Colombian departments from 1993 to 2025. The approach integrates temporal disaggregation, time-series splicing and interpolation, statistical learning, and institutional covariates to estimate seven key variables: employment, unemployment, labor force participation (PEA), inactivity, working-age population (PET), total population, and informality rate,…

矩阵值时间序列的因子模型：非平稳性与协整AI 解读

In this paper, we consider the nonstationary matrix-valued time series with common stochastic trends. Unlike the traditional factor analysis which flattens matrix observations into vectors, we adopt a matrix factor model in order to fully explore the intrinsic matrix structure in the data, allowing interaction between the row and column stochastic trends, and subsequently improving the estimation convergence. It also reduces the computation complexity in estimation. The main…

结构周期向量自回归AI 解读

While seasonality inherent to raw macroeconomic data is commonly removed by seasonal adjustment techniques before it is used for structural inference, this may distort valuable information in the data. As an alternative method to commonly used structural vector autoregressions (SVARs) for seasonally adjusted data, we propose to model potential periodicity in seasonally unadjusted (raw) data directly by structural periodic vector autoregressions (SPVARs). This approach does…

时间 Wasserstein 插补：一种灵活的时间序列缺失值方法AI 解读

Missing data can significantly hamper standard time series analysis, yet they occur frequently in applications. In this paper, we introduce temporal Wasserstein imputation, a novel method for imputing missing data in time series. Unlike most existing techniques, our approach is fully nonparametric, circumventing the need for model specification prior to imputation, making it suitable for empirical applications even with nonlinear dynamics. Its principled algorithmic…

非平稳条件下函数索引序贯经验过程及其平滑版本的弱收敛AI 解读

We study the sequential empirical process indexed by general function classes and its smoothed set-indexed analogue. Sufficient conditions for asymptotic equicontinuity are provided for nonstationary arrays of time series. This yields comprehensive general results that are applicable to various notions of dependence, which is exemplified in detail for nonstationary $α$-mixing series. Especially, we obtain the weak convergence of the sequential process under essentially the…
