AI中文摘要：
人为强迫成分遵循不同的长期路径，而持续的温度变化可能涉及超出均值的分布变化。标量回归将这些成分聚合起来，仅保留平均温度，从而掩盖了不同强迫路径与持续分布变化之间的关系。我们开发了新的检验、估计和推断方法，用于研究积分预测向量与密度值响应之间的长期关系。这些方法包括：基于残差的协整间检验（检验预测趋势是否解释了响应密度中的所有随机趋势）、预测因子特定函数响应的完全修正最小二乘估计器，以及用于可解释投影的基于模拟的推断。我们将这些方法应用于观测到的局部温度异常密度和人为有效辐射强迫（分为CO$_2$和非CO$_2$组合）的数据。检验结果与这些组合的持续运动在统计上解释了异常分布的持续演变相一致，残差中未检测到额外的随机趋势。联合检验拒绝了将两个组合聚合所施加的共同响应限制。拟合的CO$_2$响应主要将质量向较暖异常转移并增加中心集中度，而非CO$_2$响应产生较小的转移但更大的离散度和偏离中心的重新塑造。两个组合的正拟合均值响应掩盖了这些对比，展示了标量聚合所丢失的信息。
英文摘要：
Anthropogenic forcing components follow different long-run paths, while persistent temperature change can involve distributional changes beyond the mean. Scalar regressions aggregate these components and retain only mean temperature, obscuring how distinct forcing paths relate to persistent distributional change. We develop new testing, estimation, and inference methods for long-run relations between an integrated predictor vector and a density-valued response. These comprise a residual-based test of between-cointegration (whether predictor trends account for all stochastic trends in the response density), a fully modified least-squares estimator of predictor-specific functional responses, and simulation-based inference for interpretable projections. We apply the methods to densities of observed local temperature anomalies and anthropogenic effective radiative forcing divided into CO$_2$ and non-CO$_2$ portfolios. The test results are consistent with persistent movements in these portfolios statistically accounting for the persistent evolution of the anomaly distribution, with no additional stochastic trend detected in the residual. A joint test rejects the common-response restriction imposed by aggregating the two portfolios. The fitted CO$_2$ response mainly shifts mass toward warmer anomalies and increases central concentration, whereas the non-CO$_2$ response produces a smaller shift but greater dispersion and off-center reshaping. Positive fitted mean responses for both portfolios conceal these contrasts, demonstrating the information lost through scalar aggregation.
