变分Wishart和逆Wishart过程的可扩展贝叶斯动态协方差建模

Scalable Bayesian dynamic covariance modeling with variational Wishart and inverse Wishart processes

Creighton Heaukulani, Mark van der Wilk

摘要:

我们实现了基于梯度的变分推断例程Wishart和逆Wishart过程,我们适用于贝叶斯模型的动态,异方差协方差阵的多变量时间序列。Wishart过程和逆Wishart过程由i.i.d.高斯过程,现有的变分推断算法,形成我们的方法的基础。这些方法很容易实现为一个黑盒和规模有利的长度的时间序列,但是,他们失败的情况下,Wishart过程,一个问题,我们解决了一个简单的修改成一个加性白噪声参数化的模型。这种修改也是实现构造的因子化变体的关键,允许推断额外扩展到高维协方差阵。通过实验,我们证明了一些(但不是所有)模型变量在预测金融工具收益率的协方差时优于多变量GARCH。

英文摘要:

We implement gradient-based variational inference routines for Wishart and inverse Wishart processes, which we apply as Bayesian models for the dynamic, heteroskedastic covariance matrix of a multivariate time series. The Wishart and inverse Wishart processes are constructed from i.i.d. Gaussian processes, existing variational inference algorithms for which form the basis of our approach. These methods are easy to implement as a black-box and scale favorably with the length of the time series, however, they fail in the case of the Wishart process, an issue we resolve with a simple modification into an additive white noise parameterization of the model. This modification is also key to implementing a factored variant of the construction, allowing inference to additionally scale to high-dimensional covariance matrices. Through experimentation, we demonstrate that some (but not all) model variants outperform multivariate GARCH when forecasting the covariances of returns on financial instruments.
