方差-协方差矩阵中的变点检测AI 解读

We consider the joint estimation of change point locations and the sparsity pattern of the variance covariance matrix, which is assumed to evolve in a piecewise constant manner. By applying Group Fused LASSO and LASSO penalties to the squared Frobenius norm, we estimate both the covariance structure and the change points. Adaptive weights are incorporated into the penalty terms to enhance change point detection and covariance estimation accuracy. We establish the conditions…

金融资产价格预测中已实现波动率的贝叶斯动态建模AI 解读

We present a new class of Bayesian dynamic models for bivariate price-realized volatility time series in financial forecasting. A novel dynamic gamma process model adopted for realized volatility is integrated with traditional Bayesian dynamic linear models (DLMs) for asset price series. This represents reduced-form volatility leverage and feedback effects through use of realized volatility proxies in conditional DLMs for prices or returns, coupled with the synthesis of…

电价波动率的精细结构AI 解读

We conduct the first rigorous study of electricity price volatility for the full panel of electricity prices across three European generation zones. By interpreting the observed day-ahead prices as local averages of a latent price process governed by a stochastic partial differential equation, we develop estimators of the weekly integrated variance. The inherently infinite dimensional setting introduce several complications that are not relevant in the conventional finite…

线性过程尾部依赖的度量：理论与实证AI 解读

The quantitative analysis of financial time series often reveals two distinct features that standard Gaussian frameworks fail to capture: heavy-tailed marginal distributions and the phenomenon of extreme co-movements.While extreme value theory characterizes marginal behavior, Copulas provide a functional bridge to describe the dependence structure independently of the marginals. We are proposing a different way of looking at the joint extremes on the basis of a dependence…

具有图 Ornstein–Uhlenbeck 动态的边索引网络时间序列AI 解读

We introduce a class of Lévy-driven graph Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (grOU) models for edge-indexed network time series. The proposed framework extends generalized network autoregressive (GNAR) processes for edge-indexed network time series to continuous time and adapts graph Ornstein-Uhlenbeck dynamics, originally developed for node-indexed processes, to the edge-indexed setting. The model accommodates general Lévy noise and therefore captures both Brownian and jump behavior. We…

递归似然模型加速推断的稳定化加权子抽样AI 解读

Inference for models with recursively defined likelihoods is computationally demanding, limiting scalability to large datasets. We propose a stabilised weighted subsampling methodology for accelerated inference based on an unbiased estimator of the log-likelihood. By assigning higher sampling probabilities to early observations, the method reduces the effective depth of recursive likelihood evaluations and hence computational cost. However, sampling probabilities that decay…

厚尾与预测能力检验AI 解读

We study the asymptotic behaviour of widely used tests for evaluating and comparing predictive accuracy when forecast errors exhibit heavy tails. In particular, when loss differentials have infinite variance, the Diebold-Mariano test statistic converges to a nonstandard limit involving non-Gaussian stable random variables. As a consequence, conventional critical values can yield severely distorted inference: a nominal 5$\%$ test may reject a true null as often as 70$\%$ of…

Incentives in experimental design are often misaligned: experimenters design and finance experiments to seek regulatory approval, while regulators seek to maximize social welfare. This incentive misalignment is especially relevant for Bayesian and adaptive trial designs, which have gained substantial popularity in recent years and have been actively encouraged by the US Food and Drug Administration. We propose a framework to resolve this conflict, wherein regulators set a…

用余差预测线性分数稳定运动：非高斯粗糙波动率应用AI 解读

The linear fractional stable motion (LFSM) extends the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) by considering $α$-stable increments. We propose a method to forecast future increments of the LFSM from past discrete-time observations, using the conditional expectation when $α>1$ or a semimetric projection otherwise. It relies on the codifference, which describes the serial dependence of the process, instead of the covariance. Indeed, covariance is commonly used for predicting an fBm…

后验漂移下的过度参数化模型AI 解读

This paper investigates the impact of posterior drift on out-of-sample forecasting accuracy in overparametrized machine learning models. We document the loss in performance when the loadings of the data generating process change between the training and testing samples. This matters crucially in settings in which regime changes are likely to occur, for instance, in financial markets. Applied to equity premium forecasting, our results underline the sensitivity of a market…

无限变差跳跃下瞬时波动率的去偏核估计AI 解读

Volatility estimation is a central problem in financial econometrics, but becomes particularly challenging when jump activity is high, a phenomenon observed empirically in highly traded financial securities. In this paper, we revisit the problem of spot volatility estimation for an Itô semimartingale with jumps of unbounded variation. We construct truncated kernel-based estimators and debiased variants that extend rate-optimal spot volatility estimation to a wider range of…
