The test is based on a flexible model for the joint evolution of multiple series, where a latent binary matrix indicates whether there is a Granger-causal relationship between such time series. The model is specified through a dependent Geometric stick-breaking process that generalizes the standard parametric Gaussian vector autoregression model, whereas the prior distribution of the latent matrix ensures a multiple testing correction. A Monte Carlo simulation study is provided for comparing the robustness of the proposed hypothesis test with state-of-the-art alternatives. The results show that this proposal performs better than competing approaches. Finally, the new test is applied to real economic data.","PeriodicalId":54125,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics and Statistics","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2024-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142218395","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statistical analysis in consideration of privacy is thus becoming an exciting area of research. Differential privacy can provide a means by which one can measure the stochastic risk of violating the privacy of individuals that can result from conducting an analysis, such as a simple query from a database and a hypothesis test. The main interest of the work is a goodness-of-fit test that compares the sampled data to a known distribution. Many differentially private goodness-of-fit tests have been proposed for discrete random variables, but little work has been done for continuous variables. The objective is to review some existing tests that guarantee differential privacy for discrete random variables, and to propose an extension to continuous cases via a discretization process. The proposed test procedures are demonstrated through simulated examples and applied to the Household Financial Welfare Survey of South Korea in 2018.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54125,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics and Statistics","volume":"31 ","pages":"Pages 81-99"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74095071","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A binary time series classification is investigated by proposing a semiparametric procedure named “Model Averaging nonlinear MArginal LOgistic Regressions” (MAMaLoR) for binary time series data based on the time series information of predictor variables. The procedure involves approximating the logistic multivariate conditional regression function by combining low-dimensional non-parametric nonlinear marginal logistic regressions, in the sense of Kullback-Leibler distance. A time series conditional likelihood method is suggested for estimating the optimal averaging weights together with local maximum likelihood estimations of the nonparametric marginal time series logistic (auto)regressions. The asymptotic properties of the procedure are established under mild conditions on the time series observations that are of <span><math><mi>β</mi></math></span>-mixing property. The procedure is less computationally demanding and can avoid the “curse of dimensionality” for, and be easily applied to, high dimensional lagged information based nonlinear time series classification forecasting. The performances of the procedure are further confirmed both by Monte-Carlo simulation and an empirical study for market moving direction forecasting of the financial FTSE 100 index data.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54125,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics and Statistics","volume":"31 ","pages":"Pages 19-37"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86385087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, fMRI data analysis faces several challenges, including intensive computation due to the massive data size and large estimation errors due to a low signal-to-noise ratio of the data. A new statistical model and a computational algorithm are proposed to address these challenges. Specifically, a new multi-subject general linear model is built for stimulus-evoked fMRI data. The new model assumes that brain responses to stimuli at different brain regions of various subjects fall into a low-rank structure and can be represented by a few principal functions. Therefore, the new model enables combining data information across subjects and regions to evaluate subject-specific and region-specific brain activity. Two optimization functions and a new fast-to-compute algorithm are developed to analyze multi-subject stimulus-evoked fMRI data and address two research questions of a broad interest in psychology: evaluating every subject’s brain responses to different stimuli and identifying brain regions responsive to the stimuli. Both simulation and real data analysis are conducted to show that the new method can outperform existing methods by providing more efficient estimates of brain activity.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":54125,"journal":{"name":"Econometrics and Statistics","volume":"31 ","pages":"Pages 117-129"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75841092","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A novel estimator of the output gap is proposed. It is based on a dynamic factor model that extracts from a high-dimensional set of time series the common component of a stationary transformation of the individual series. The latter results from the application of a nonlinear gap filter, such that for each of the individual time series the gap filter removes from the current value the historical local maximum, which in turn defines the potential. The smooth generalized principal components are extracted and the resulting common components are aggregated into a global output gap measure. An application is presented dealing with the U.S. industrial sector, where the proposed measure is constructed using the disaggregated market and industry groups time series.
