Bayesian Estimates for Vector - Autoregressive Models
This paper examines frequentist risks of Bayesian estimates of VAR regression coefficient and error covariance matrices under competing loss functions, under a variety of non-informative priors, and in the normal and Student-t models. Simulation results show that for the regression coefficient matrix an asymmetric LINEX estimator does better overall than the posterior mean. For the error covari...
متن کامل1 Graphical models of autoregressive processes
We consider the problem of fitting a Gaussian autoregressive model to a time series, subject to conditional independence constraints. This is an extension of the classical covariance selection problem to times series. The conditional independence constraints impose a sparsity pattern on the inverse of the spectral density matrix, and result in nonconvex quadratic equality constraints in the max...
متن کاملGraphical Models for Structural Vector Autoregressions
The identification of a VAR requires differentiating between correlation and causation. This paper presents a method to deal with this problem. Graphical models, which provide a rigorous language to analyze the statistical and logical properties of causal relations, associate a particular set of vanishing partial correlations to every possible causal structure. The structural form is described ...
متن کاملCausal Search in Structural Vector Autoregressive Models
This paper reviews a class of methods to perform causal inference in the framework of a structural vector autoregressive model. We consider three different settings. In the first setting the underlying system is linear with normal disturbances and the structural model is identified by exploiting the information incorporated in the partial correlations of the estimated residuals. Zero partial co...
متن کاملTopology Selection in Graphical Models of Autoregressive Processes
An algorithm is presented for topology selection in graphical models of autoregressive Gaussian time series. The graph topology of the model represents the sparsity pattern of the inverse spectrum of the time series and characterizes conditional independence relations between the variables. The method proposed in the paper is based on an l1-type nonsmooth regularization of the conditional maxim...
