面向重尾数据的高维切片逆 Kendall 秩相关估计AI 解读

Sufficient dimension reduction is an important branch of statistical learning, which performs an optimal projection of covariates under a supervised learning framework. Most of the existing sufficient dimension reduction algorithms require strict restrictions on the distribution of models, making them sensitive to heavy-tailed predictors and outliers. In this article, we propose a novel method called Sliced Inverse Kendall’s tau Estimation (SIKE) designed for analyzing…

带自回归误差的线性回归在线变点检测：流式变分贝叶斯方法AI 解读

Large-scale streaming time-series regression requires methods that can detect structural changes while accounting for serially correlated errors and quantifying uncertainty about the current regime. We propose a streaming variational Bayes method for linear regression with autoregressive errors that combines online changepoint detection with sequential posterior inference. The proposed method processes observations in chronological mini-batches and uses a finite-mixture…

相关矩阵的平衡参数化AI 解读

We introduce the balanced correlation parametrization (BCP), which maps positive-definite correlation matrices one-to-one onto the set of symmetric hollow matrices. A key feature of the parametrization is that both the transformation and its inverse are available in closed form. It combines marginal and partial correlations, is inverse-consistent and equivariant under variable permutations and sign changes, and preserves block structure. A novel property of BCP is that it…

循环重心编码器：预测、模拟及其在时间序列分析中的应用AI 解读

This dissertation has two parts. In the first part we theoretically develop a framework that extends the optimal transport barycenter problem from independent data with observed covariates to processes whose relevant covariate is their own history. Given a stationary stochastic process, our framework shows there exists an invertible transport map that extracts from it an iid component whose distribution is the barycenter of the conditional distributions of the input process…

重尾模型中的基于比率的因果发现AI 解读

In many complex systems, such as river networks and financial markets, extreme events propagate from causes to their effects, and the largest observations carry the most information about the underlying causal structure. Existing methods for causal discovery in extremes, however, are tailored to specific mechanisms, such as linear or max-linear models. This work develops causal discovery for heavy-tailed homogeneous structural causal models, a flexible class that contains…

已实现尾部风险条件自回归期望分位模型：精准稳定的预测表现AI 解读

A realized tail-risk conditional autoregressive expectile (RTCARE) model is proposed for joint forecasting of value-at-risk (VaR) and expected shortfall (ES). Realized tail measures such as the realized quantile and the realized ES, constructed from intraday high-frequency returns, are incorporated into the dynamics and measurement equations of the conditional expectile, allowing information about lower-tail risk to enter the forecasts. The parameters are estimated by Markov…

高维因子定价模型的柯西聚合岭检验AI 解读

In high-dimensional factor pricing models, the power of regularized alpha tests depends on the ridge parameter, whose optimal value varies with the unknown direction of pricing errors. We address this tuning uncertainty by combining ridge-specific p-values using the Cauchy rule. The resulting test retains the least-squares alpha estimator and residual sample covariance and accommodates more assets than observations. We establish the joint Gaussian limits of the component…

极端分位数回归加权最大似然估计量的存在性与一致性AI 解读

Estimating extreme conditional quantiles faces two major challenges: understanding complex nonlinear relationships between variables and accurately extrapolating into the tails of the distribution, where data are sparse. To address both issues, we introduce a novel approach that combines the theoretical framework of block maxima with the predictive power of generalized random forests. The conditional distribution of maxima is modeled by a generalized extreme value (GEV)…

用于随机波动的 GARCH Copula、v 变换与 D-vine 模型AI 解读

The bivariate copulas that describe the dependencies and partial dependencies of lagged variables in strictly stationary, first-order GARCH-type processes are investigated. It is shown that the copulas of symmetric GARCH processes are jointly symmetric but non-exchangeable, while the copulas of processes with symmetric innovation distributions and asymmetric leverage effects have weaker h-symmetry; copulas with asymmetric innovation distributions have neither form of…

We study online conformal prediction in a partially observed panel: a new cross-section of peer outcomes is observed before each target outcome, target feedback may be intermittent or absent, and neither units nor rounds need be exchangeable. We propose Weighted Temporal Quantile Adjustment (W-TQA), which combines similarity weights learned from unit histories with an adaptive target-specific miscoverage level. We prove that neither target-peer mismatch nor coverage on…

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…
