重新审视免带宽推断：样本分割方法AI 解读

The bandwidth-free tests/inferences for a multi-dimensional parameter have attracted considerable attention in econometrics and statistics literature. These tests can be conveniently implemented due to their tuning-parameter free nature and possess more accurate size as compared to the traditional HAC-based approaches, where consistent long run variance estimation was involved. However, when sample size is small/medium, these bandwidth-free tests exhibit large size…

通过自归一化检验函数型参数的假设AI 解读

Testing simple or composite hypothesis on a functional parameter has attracted considerable attention in time series analysis. To accommodate for the unknown temporal dependence, classical nonparametric approaches such as block bootstrapping and subsampling all involve a bandwidth parameter, the choice of which can substantially affect the finite sample performance. The self normalization (SN) method is tuning parameter free when applied to the inference of a…

对象值时间序列的变点检测AI 解读

This article is concerned with change point detection for object-valued data that reside in a metric space, which has attracted some recent interests in statistics and econometrics literature. The existing methods either focus on independent data or can only detect change in the Fréchet mean or variance. In this paper, we propose a self-normalization (SN, hereafter) based statistic for detecting a shift in the marginal distribution of object-valued time series. Our test is…

时间序列中的序型转换与代数距离：随机性质及非参数依赖检验AI 解读

The use of ordinal patterns (OPs) for analyzing the dependence structure of univariate and continuously distributed processes has gained popularity in recent years. This research goes one step further and considers the transcripts being computed from successive OPs in the time series. Transcripts constitute a kind of ``difference'' between successive OPs and thus naturally relate to two algebraic distances between OPs, the Cayley and Kendall edit distances. The original time…

非线性函数型自回归模型的指数混合性质AI 解读

The importance of functional data analysis has increased substantially in recent years. In machine learning, nonlinear function regression based on deep neural networks is referred to as operator learning, and many of its applications involve functional time series data. However, the theoretical understanding of nonlinear models in functional time series analysis remains limited, as most existing works focus on linear models. In this paper, we derive basic properties for…

结合隐马尔可夫模型与强化学习的状态依赖投资组合配置AI 解读

This study develops a regime-aware portfolio allocation framework that integrates Markov switching models with Reinforcement Learning (RL) to dynamically allocate across equities (SPY), long-term Treasuries (TLT), and gold (GLD). Using daily ETF data from 2004-2025, we first characterize market behavior through a discrete Markov chain and then estimate a three-state Gaussian Hidden Markov Model (HMM) selected by the Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC). The estimated…

经由 1/f 噪声连接非平稳与平稳：离散傅里叶变换及样本均值检验渐近理论AI 解读

We study the asymptotic behaviour of different statistics for time series exhibiting long memory and nonstationarity. For processes with memory parameter $d\in(-1/2,3/2)$, we derive the joint limiting distribution of discrete Fourier transforms at a fixed number of Fourier frequencies, with a unified normalization. The resulting limits are Gaussian with an explicit covariance structure. Particular attention is given to the boundary case $d=1/2$, also known as $1/f$ noise. We…

非线性时间序列中的函数值因果影响AI 解读

Causal discovery in time series is increasingly performed using nonlinear machine-learning models, yet the resulting causal relationships are almost always summarized by scalar edge scores. We argue that this practice obscures the true object learned by nonlinear autoregressive models: a state-dependent function whose effect varies across regimes, magnitudes, and contexts. We formalize function-valued causal influence for additive, contribution-decomposable architectures and…

采用样本分割的广义谱检验AI 解读

Residual-based goodness-of-fit tests for parametric time-series models are often complicated by parameter-estimation effects, which can alter the limiting behavior of diagnostic statistics. We propose a sample-splitting generalized spectral test (in the spirit of Escanciano(2006)) for assessing conditional mean specification in linear and nonlinear time-series models. The procedure estimates the model parameter on a fitting subsample and constructs a generalized spectral…

基于 Copula 马尔可夫模型的 Weibull 时间序列变点估计AI 解读

We study offline change-point estimation for time series data exhibiting nonlinear serial dependence. To address this problem, we propose a copula-based Markov chain model with Weibull marginal distributions, which is suitable for modeling nonnegative data such as event times and volatility measures. Nonlinear dependence is incorporated through the Clayton and Joe copulas, allowing the model to capture asymmetric lower-tail and upper-tail dependence structures, respectively.…

层级预测中信息的作用AI 解读

In hierarchical forecasting, the process of forecast reconciliation transforms a set of "base" or "raw" forecasts, which do not satisfy the hierarchical aggregation constraints in the real data, into a set of "coherent" forecasts, which do satisfy those constraints. The academic literature provides ample simulation evidence and real-world examples demonstrating the value of forecast reconciliation in improving forecasts of hierarchical time series. This improvement is…

加性矩阵整数值自回归模型AI 解读

Contemporary data-driven and technology-integrated era, various matrix-valued integer-valued time series, such as cross-regional crime statistics, multi-category sales records, and network traffic matrices, exhibit high dimensionality, complex structures, and strong row-column intertwined dependencies. Although the existing matrix integer-valued autoregressive (MINAR) model provides a framework that directly handles matrix data and captures bidirectional row-column…

留出一个窗口：用于时间序列预测推断的 Jackknife 修正AI 解读

Conformal prediction methods enjoy strong theoretical and empirical predictive inference performance, provided the data is exchangeable and is treated symmetrically during training. However, these assumptions are impractical in many settings, such as time series, where temporal dependence violates exchangeability and it is preferable to use predictors that leverage dependence by treating data asymmetrically. Recent work shows that split conformal prediction is robust to…

函数型自回归模型的拟合优度检验AI 解读

The proposed Goodness--of--Fit (GoF) test for checking the linear autocorrelation model in a functional time series is based on an empirical process, whose residual marks and covariate index set are in a separable Hilbert space \mathbb{H}. A functional central limit theorem is derived providing the convergence of the empirical process to a time-changed Wiener process evaluated in a separable Hilbert space \mathbb{H}, with subordinator given by the marginal probability of the…

双重局部趋近单位根：近非平稳波动率下的推断AI 解读

This article develops a moderate-deviation limit theory for autoregressive models with jointly persistent mean and volatility dynamics. The autoregressive coefficient is allowed to drift toward unity slower than the classical 1/n rate, while the volatility persistence parameter also converges to one at an even slower, logarithmic order, so that the conditional variance process is itself nearly nonstationary and its unconditional moments may diverge. This double localization…

无界字母表分类时间序列中的路径猜测AI 解读

The following learning problem arises naturally in various applications: Given a finite sample from a categorical or count time series, can we learn a function of the sample that (nearly) maximizes the probability of correctly guessing the values of a given portion of the data using the values from the remaining parts? Unlike classical approaches in statistical inference, our approach avoids explicitly estimating the conditional probabilities. We propose a non-parametric…

Tweedie 公式与得分驱动更新AI 解读

Score-driven models update time-varying parameters using conditional likelihood scores. This paper develops a Bayesian interpretation of such updates through Tweedie's formula, which connects posterior mean corrections with marginal scores. In Gaussian signal extraction, this gives an exact posterior-correction identity. For natural exponential families, related identities characterize posterior means in natural- and expectation-parameter spaces. Building on these…

超越准确率：时间序列基础模型是否校准良好？AI 解读

The recent development of foundation models for time series data has generated considerable interest in using such models across a variety of applications. Although foundation models achieve state-of-the-art predictive performance, their calibration properties remain relatively underexplored, despite the fact that calibration can be critical for many practical applications. In this paper, we investigate the calibration-related properties of five recent time series foundation…

高斯—柯西卷积模型的精确似然推断与稳健滤波AI 解读

The convolution of a Gaussian and a Cauchy distribution, known as the Voigt distribution, is widely used in spectroscopy and provides a natural framework for modeling heavy-tailed measurement noise. We derive analytical expressions for its density, score, Hessian, Fisher information, and conditional moments using the scaled complementary error function, enabling stable maximum likelihood estimation without numerical convolution, finite-difference derivatives, or pseudo-Voigt…

气候分析中含隐藏动态过程的一般因果结构学习AI 解读

Understanding climate dynamics requires going beyond correlations in observational data to uncover the underlying causal process. Latent drivers such as atmospheric processes play a central role in temporal dynamics, while direct causal influences also exist among geographically proximate observed variables. Traditional Causal Representation Learning (CRL) typically focuses on latent factors but overlooks such observable-to-observable causal relations, which limits its…

利用 Hyper-Trees 进行预测AI 解读

We introduce Hyper-Trees as a novel framework for modeling time series data using gradient boosted trees. Unlike conventional tree-based approaches that forecast time series directly, Hyper-Trees learn the parameters of a target time series model, such as ARIMA or Exponential Smoothing, as functions of features. These parameters are then used by the target model to generate the final forecasts. Our framework combines the effectiveness of decision trees on tabular data with…

函数型时间序列实质性假设检验的统一理论AI 解读

In this paper, we develop a {\em unified} framework for testing relevant hypotheses in functional time series. The proposed approach accommodates one-sample, two-sample, and change point problems for contaminated observations under arbitrary sampling schemes. Combining B-spline estimation with self-normalization, we construct nuisance-parameter-free tests that bypass auxiliary estimation of long-run covariance functions and measurement-error variance functions. We establish…
