Learning, Forecasting and Structural Breaks
The literature on structural breaks focuses on ex post identification of break points that may have occurred in the past. While this question is important, a more challenging problem facing econometricians is to provide forecasts when the data generating process is unstable. The purpose of this paper is to provide a general methodology for forecasting in the presence of model instability. We ma...
متن کاملAsymptotically optimal private estimation under mean square loss
We consider the minimax estimation problem of a discrete distribution with support size k under locally differential privacy constraints. A privatization scheme is applied to each raw sample independently, and we need to estimate the distribution of the raw samples from the privatized samples. A positive number ǫ measures the privacy level of a privatization scheme. In our previous work (arXiv:...
متن کاملForecasting under structural change
Forecasting strategies that are robust to structural breaks have earned renewed attention in the literature. They are built on weighted averages downweighting past information and include forecasting with rolling window, exponential smoothing or exponentially weighted moving average and forecast pooling. These simple strategies are particularly attractive because they are easy to implement, pos...
متن کاملOptimal mean-square-error calibration of classifier error estimators under Bayesian models
A recently proposed Bayesian modeling framework for classification facilitates both the analysis and optimization of error estimation performance. The Bayesian error estimator is then defined to have optimal mean-square error performance, but in many situations closed-form representations are unavailable and approximations may not be feasible. To address this, we present a method to optimally c...
متن کاملThe KPSS test with two structural breaks
In this paper we generalize the KPSS-type test to allow for two structural breaks. Seven models have been de ned depending on the way that the structural breaks a¤ect the time series behaviour. The paper derives the limit distribution of the test both under the null and the alternative hypotheses and conducts a set of simulation experiments to analyse the performance in nite samples. Keywords:...
