Covariance estimation for multivariate conditionally Gaussian dynamic linear models

K. Triantafyllopoulos

摘要:

在多变量时间序列中,观测新息的协方差阵的估计在预测中起着重要的作用,因为它使得能够计算标准化的预测误差向量,以及它使得能够计算预测的置信界限。我们开发了一个在线的,非迭代贝叶斯算法的估计和预测。实验结果表明,对于一定范围的模拟时间序列,所提出的协方差估计器具有良好的性能收敛到未知观测协方差阵的真值。在一个模拟的时间序列,新的方法近似正确的估计,产生的非序贯蒙特卡罗模拟程序,这是在这里使用的黄金标准。特殊的,但重要的,向量自回归(VAR)和随时间变化的VAR模型说明考虑伦敦金属交易所的数据组成的现货价格的铝,铜,铅和锌。

英文摘要:

In multivariate time series, the estimation of the covariance matrix of the observation innovations plays an important role in forecasting as it enables the computation of the standardized forecast error vectors as well as it enables the computation of confidence bounds of the forecasts. We develop an on-line, non-iterative Bayesian algorithm for estimation and forecasting. It is empirically found that, for a range of simulated time series, the proposed covariance estimator has good performance converging to the true values of the unknown observation covariance matrix. Over a simulated time series, the new method approximates the correct estimates, produced by a non-sequential Monte Carlo simulation procedure, which is used here as the gold standard. The special, but important, vector autoregressive (VAR) and time-varying VAR models are illustrated by considering London metal exchange data consisting of spot prices of aluminium, copper, lead and zinc.
