A Hessian Regularized Nonlinear Time Series Model

We introduce a nonparametric nonlinear time series model. The novel idea is to fit a model via penalization, where the penalty term is an unbiased estimator of the integrated Hessian of the underlying function. The underlying model assumption is very general: it has Hessian almost everywhere in its domain. Numerical experiments demonstrate that our model has better predictive power: if the underlying model complies with an existing parametric/semiparametric form (e.g., a threshold autoregressive model (TAR), an additive autoregressive model (AAR), or a functional coefficient autoregressive model (FAR)), our model performs comparably; if the underlying model does not comply with any preexisting form, our model outperforms in nearly all simulations. We name our model a Hessian regularized nonlinear model for time series (HRM). We conjecture on theoretical properties and use simulations to verify. Our method can be viewed as a way to generalize splines to high dimensions (when the number of variates is more than three), under which an analogous analytical derivation cannot work due to the curse of dimensionality. Supplemental materials are provided, and will help readers reproduce all results in the article.

Evolving Time Series Forecasting ARMA Models

Time Series Forecasting (TSF) allows the modeling of complex systems as black-boxes, being a focus of attention in several research arenas such as Operational Research, Statistics or Computer Science. Alternative TSF approaches emerged from the Artificial Intelligence arena, where optimization algorithms inspired on natural selection processes, such as Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs), are popular. The present work reports on a two-level architecture, where a (meta-level) binary EA will search for the best ARMA model, being the parameters optimized by a (low-level) EA, which encodes real values. The handicap of this approach is compared with conventional forecasting methods, being competitive.     

Asymptotic bias of the least squares estimator for multivariate autoregressive models

Summary The asymptotic bias of the least squares estimator for the multivariate autoregressive models is derived. The formulas for the low order univariate autoregressive models are given in terms of the simple functions of parameters. Our results are useful to the bias correction method of the least squares estimation.

Estimating a Distribution Function for Censored Time Series Data

Consider a long term study, where a series of dependent and possibly censored failure times is observed. Suppose that the failure times have a common marginal distribution function, but they exhibit a mode of time series structure such as α-mixing. The inference on the marginal distribution function is of interest to us. The main results of this article show that, under some regularity conditions, the Kaplan–Meier estimator enjoys uniform consistency with rates, and a stochastic process generated by the Kaplan–Meier estimator converges weakly to a certain Gaussian process with a specified covariance structure. Finally, an estimator of the limiting variance of the Kaplan–Meier estimator is proposed and its consistency is established.

Spline estimation of functional coefficient regression models for time series with correlated errors

In this work we focus on functional coefficient regression (FCR) models. Here we study the estimation of FCR models by splines, with autoregressive errors and show the rates of convergence of the proposed estimator. The importance of taking into account the correlation is assessed via simulation studies and multi-step ahead forecasts for a real data set.

On Time-Reversibility and Estimating Functions for Markov Processes

The time-reversibility of a Markov process implies a particular structure of the score function. It is explored which martingale estimating functions and other unbiased estimating functions have a similar structure. This leads to an estimating function with a semiparametric efficiency property. Also relations to martingale estimating functions based on eigenfunctions of the infinitesimal generator are found.     

A Combinatorial Approach to Piecewise Linear Time Series Analysis

Over recent years, several nonlinear time series models have been proposed in the literature. One model that has found a large number of successful applications is the threshold autoregressive model (TAR). The TAR model is a piecewise linear process whose central idea is to change the parameters of a linear autoregressive model according to the value of an observable variable, called the threshold variable. If this variable is a lagged value of the time series, the model is called a self-exciting threshold autoregressive (SETAR) model. In this article, we propose a heuristic to estimate a more general SETAR model, where the thresholds are multivariate. We formulate the task of finding multivariate thresholds as a combinatorial optimization problem. We develop an algorithm based on a greedy randomized adaptive search procedure (GRASP) to solve the problem. GRASP is an iterative randomized sampling technique that has been shown to quickly produce good quality solutions for a wide variety of optimization problems. The proposed model performs well on both simulated and real data.     

Seasonal Space–Time Models for Climate Systems

A class of seasonal space–time models for general lattice systems is proposed. Covariance properties of spatial first-order models are studied. Estimation approaches in time series analysis are adopted and forecasting techniques using the seasonal space–time models are discussed. The models are applied to 516 consecutive fields of monthly averaged 500 mb geopotential heights over a 10 × 10 lattice in the extra-tropical northern hemisphere for the purpose of understanding the underlying statistical structure. It is found that space–time models with instantaneous spatial component give the best fit compared to other models in terms of maximizing the conditional likelihood function. The models are potentially useful for assessing the consistency of outputs from laboratory-based numerical models with field observations. Forecasting ability of the seasonal space–time models is also investigated. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.

���������Իع�ģ���лع麯���İ��������

??In this paper, semiparametric estimation of a regression function in the third order partially linear autoregressive model with first order autoregressive errors is mainly studied. We suppose that the regression function has a parametric framework, and use the conditional least squares method to obtain the parameter estimators. Then semiparametric estimators of the regression function can be given by combining with the nonparametric kernel function adjustment. Furthermore, under certain conditions, the consistency of the estimators is proved. Finally, simulation research is presented to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

The Problem of Aliasing in Identifying Finite Parameter Continuous Time Stochastic Models

This note exposits the problem of aliasing in identifying finite parameter continuous time stochastic models, including econometric models, on the basis of discrete data. The identification problem for continuous time vector autoregressive models is characterised as an inverse problem involving a certain block triangular matrix, facilitating the derivation of an improved sufficient condition for the restrictions the parameters must satisfy in order that they be identified on the basis of equispaced discrete data. Sufficient conditions already exist in the literature but these conditions are not sharp and rule out plausible time series behaviour.     

Consistent and asymptotically normal estimators for cyclically time-dependent linear models

We consider a general class of time series linear models where parameters switch according to a known fixed calendar. These parameters are estimated by means of quasi-generalized least squares estimators. conditions for strong consistency and asymptotic normality are given. Applications to cyclical ARMA models with non constant periods are considered.
