glmSTARMA：广义线性时空自回归模型的 R 包AI 解读

The R package glmSTARMA implements autoregressive models for spatio-temporal data at fixed locations, with time-invariant spatial dependency structure. We rely on generalized linear models methodology and unify several approaches for the analysis of spatial count time series. Such models allow the (conditional) mean of the response to depend on past observations, lagged (conditional) expectations, and covariates. The response can be a continuous or a discrete random…

变分贝叶斯变量选择后的潜在结构恢复：部分探索性因子分析的拟合评估与因子数选择AI 解读

In partially exploratory factor analysis (PEFA), the loading structure and factor numbers are weakly specified. The regularized variational approximation for partially confirmatory factor analysis (PCFA VA) recovers this structure via Bayesian variable selection, using spike and slab priors to assign inclusion probabilities to unspecified loadings. This research introduces a post selection assessment framework for this approach. We convert converged solutions into covariance…

函数自回归模型中的极小极大预测AI 解读

The Functional Autoregressive Model (FAR) generalizes the multivariate AR(1) model in Time Series Analysis to functional data. It serves as a historical foundational point in the study of functional time series and remains a fundamental and widely used model for dependent functional data. The process-the observed data-generated by the FAR model forms a Hilbert-valued Markov chain. This paper investigates the non-asymptotic prediction mean square error and derives a lower…

时间序列基础模型预测已实现波动率：与计量基准的比较AI 解读

We ask whether pretrained time series foundation models (TSFMs) improve on established econometric benchmarks for forecasting realized volatility. Using the VOLARE dataset, we conduct the first systematic comparison of nine zero-shot TSFMs against eight econometric specifications, including the Heterogeneous Autoregressive (HAR) family, across 50 assets in equities, foreign exchange, and futures, and three forecast horizons, with formal pairwise and multi-model…

用随机镜像上升近似极小极大估计有界正态均值AI 解读

This paper presents a computational approach to find an approximately minimax estimator for the classical Bounded Normal Mean problem. The suggested procedure is the Bayes estimator corresponding to an approximately least-favorable distribution obtained from a stochastic mirror ascent routine for concave maximization. The paper shows that both the approximately least-favorable distribution and the approximately minimax estimator are indeed close (in a sense we make precise)…

营销干预中贝叶斯因果影响模型的敏感性与早期检测AI 解读

Marketing systems frequently undergo operational changes that may affect performance, making timely detection of adverse effects essential for decision making. While Bayesian Causal Impact models are widely used to estimate the causal effects of interventions, their ability to support early operational monitoring remains less explored. This paper proposes a simulation based framework to evaluate the sensitivity and detection capabilities of Bayesian causal impact analysis…

从纪录值生成随机轨迹：以冰碛记录重建冰川前缘位置波动AI 解读

The record values theory study elements of a time series that exceed all previous observations, which are of particular interest in fields such as sports or climate science. In this paper, we propose a statistical method based on the construction of a Brownian stochastic simulator to reconstruct entire time series solely from such record values, even in a non-stationary case. We then implement a procedure, which can be compared to a Neural-Based Inference (NBI) procedure, to…

因子增强的机器学习面板回归AI 解读

This paper develops the asymptotic theory for high-dimensional panel data regressions in settings with cross-sectionally dependent errors driven by common shocks. We consider a factor-augmented sparse-group LASSO estimator that combines MIDAS aggregation with latent factors. The estimator can take advantage of the mixed-frequency group structure in the time-series dimension. Theory shows that it can outperform the standard LASSO estimator both for prediction and estimation…

tsbootstrap：时间序列的分布无关不确定性量化与保形预测AI 解读

Finance, sensing, and demand streams violate the exchangeability that IID conformal prediction and the IID bootstrap assume, and existing libraries implement either a general resampling engine or conformal calibration without the other. tsbootstrap provides block, residual, sieve, and wild resampling, classical bootstrap confidence intervals, and adaptive conformal calibrators (EnbPI, ACI, NexCP, AgACI) through a single typed API in which a specification object selects each…

谱密度矩阵的多元贝叶斯 P 样条估计及 LISA TDI 噪声应用AI 解读

We present a Bayesian P-spline method for estimating the frequency-dependent cross-spectral density matrix of stationary multivariate time series. The inverse spectral matrix is parametrised through its frequency-varying Cholesky decomposition, which guarantees Hermitian positive definiteness at every frequency. Each real log-diagonal entry and each real and imaginary off-diagonal entry is given an independent penalised B-spline prior that controls smoothness. Inference uses…

圆柱型数据的无限隐马尔可夫模型AI 解读

We propose an infinite hidden Markov model for cylindrical time series with von Mises-Gamma emissions. Posterior inference is performed using a beam sampler combining conjugate updates and approximate sampling schemes. Simulation studies and two real data applications demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.

中断时间序列中具有自回归误差的贝塔回归AI 解读

Interrupted time series analyses (ITSA) of proportion and rate outcomes are frequently estimated using ordinary least squares regression despite the bounded nature of these outcomes. When methods appropriate for bounded outcomes are used, the standard approach is a quasi-likelihood generalized linear model (GLM) with heteroskedasticity- and autocorrelation-consistent (HAC) standard errors. However, no existing estimator jointly models the beta-distributed conditional density…

布伦特原油与尼泊尔股市的动态关系：计量与可解释机器学习AI 解读

This study examines the dynamic relationship between the global oil prices and Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE) using an integrated approach which combines traditional econometric techniques with machine learning and explainable AI techniques. For this, Daily data of International Oil prices and NEPSE index is analyzed from approximately thirteen years (June 2013 to June 2026) using Granger causality, EGARCH(1,1), and DCC-GARCH models to examine different properties like…

遍历自回归中的函数依赖与同步耦合AI 解读

Functional dependence measures have become an important tool in the analysis of nonlinear time series and are typically formulated with respect to a given innovation representation of the process. This note points out that the probability space on which such representations yield the expected memory loss properties may not always coincide with the natural dynamical probability space of the model. We exhibit classes of uniformly ergodic autoregressive processes for which the…

斯大林是否必要？苏联经济增长的反事实证据AI 解读

This article evaluates whether the exceptionally rapid growth of the Russian and Soviet economy after 1928 requires a specifically Stalinist explanation. The analysis treats this historical question as a sequence of increasingly demanding counterfactual comparisons rather than a binary comparison between observed growth and a single alternative. Long run output series from the Global Macro Database and the Maddison Project are combined with synthetic control, augmented…

基于持久拉普拉斯特征的在线变点检测AI 解读

Online change-point detection in high-dimensional nonlinear time series faces two challenges. The underlying distributions are difficult to model, and state changes are difficult to characterize. We propose persistent Laplacian cumulative sum (PL-CUSUM) to address these challenges. PL-CUSUM maps delay-embedded sliding windows to point clouds. It extracts persistent Betti vectors and the positive spectra of persistent Laplacians from the same Vietoris-Rips filtration. A…

实时宏观经济预测中的数据修订风险AI 解读

Macroeconomic forecasts refer to outcomes that are first released and then revised. A 90 percent interval for the first GDP release, a six-month value, or a latest-value benchmark is not the same uncertainty statement. We ask how revision risk evolves through the release cycle and what can be reported in real time when later-outcome errors are scarce. We decompose later-outcome MSE into preliminary forecast risk, revision risk, and their covariance. In SPF data,…

结构向量自回归的全局识别AI 解读

In a landmark contribution to the structural vector autoregression (SVARs) literature, Rubio-Ramirez, Waggoner, and Zha (2010, `Structural Vector Autoregressions: Theory of Identification and Algorithms for Inference,' Review of Economic Studies) shows a necessary and sufficient condition for equality restrictions to globally identify the structural parameters of a SVAR. The simplest form of the necessary and sufficient condition shown in Theorem 7 of Rubio-Ramirez et al…

非高斯输入下 Volterra 互相关识别的闭式偏度惩罚AI 解读

The monomial parameterization of finite-memory Volterra identification is ill-conditioned under non-Gaussian input, and the Wiener--Hermite expansion removes this ill-conditioning only for Gaussian white-noise input. We construct the distribution-matched Volterra--Wiener--Kunchenko (VWK) basis by oriented Gram--Schmidt orthogonalization of monomials in $L^2(P)$ and use it as an arbitrary-polynomial-chaos coordinate system for finite-memory Volterra identification from data,…

极端事件中的格兰杰因果关系AI 解读

We introduce a rigorous mathematical framework for Granger causality in extremes, designed to identify causal links from extreme events in time series. Granger causality plays a pivotal role in uncovering directional relationships among time-varying variables. While this notion gains heightened importance during extreme and highly volatile periods, state-of-the-art methods primarily focus on causality within the body of the distribution, often overlooking causal mechanisms…

均值需估计时 L-mixing 时间序列经典谱估计量的非渐近分析AI 解读

Spectral estimation is an important tool in time series analysis, with applications including economics, astronomy, and climatology. The asymptotic theory for non-parametric estimation is well-known but the development of non-asymptotic theory is still ongoing. Our recent work obtained the first non-asymptotic error bounds on the Bartlett and Welch methods with restrictive assumptions. In this work, we derive non-asymptotic error bounds for both Bartlett and Welch estimators…

平稳化变换真的改善时间序列预测吗？受控实验评估AI 解读

Stationarity transformations, such as differencing, are a common preprocessing step in forecasting, motivated by the idea that modifying a series to achieve stationarity improves accuracy. Whether this is true, and for which processes, has rarely been evaluated in controlled experiments. We study the decision to transform as the object of inquiry. We cross eighteen synthetic data-generating processes, most of them stochastic-trend processes spanning exact and near unit…

面向时间序列的双重机器学习AI 解读

We modify the Double Machine Learning estimator to broaden its applicability to macroeconomic time-series settings. A deterministic cross-fitting step, termed Reverse Cross-Fitting, leverages the time-reversibility of stationary series to improve sample utilization and efficiency. We detail and prove the conditions under which the estimator is asymptotically valid. We then demonstrate, through simulations, that its performance remains valid in realistic finite samples and is…

平稳随机动力系统中因果效应符号的可识别性AI 解读

We study identifiability in continuous-time linear stationary stochastic differential equations with a known causal structure. Unlike existing approaches, we relax the assumption of a known diffusion matrix, thereby respecting the model's intrinsic scale invariance. Therefore, rather than recovering drift coefficients themselves, we introduce edge-sign identifiability: for a given causal structure, we ask whether the sign of a given drift entry is uniquely determined across…
