• Abstract: This paper introduces structured machine learning regressions for high-dimensional time series data potentially sampled at different frequencies. The sparse-group LASSO estimator can take advantage of such time series data structures and outperforms the unstructured LASSO. We establish oracle inequalities for the sparse-group LASSO estimator within a framework that allows for the mixing processes and recognizes that the financial and the macroeconomic data may have heavier than exponential tails. An empirical application to nowcasting US GDP growth indicates that the estimator performs favorably compared to other alternatives and that text data can be a useful addition to more traditional numerical data.

  We demonstrate the use of Conditional Variational (CVAE) to improve the forecasts of daily stock volume time series in both short and long term forecasting tasks. CVAE generates non-linear time series as out-of-sample forecasts, which have better accuracy and closer fit of correlation to the actual data.

• On LASSO for High Dimensional Predictive Regression [0.0]
  This paper examines LASSO, a widely-used $L_1$-penalized regression method, in high dimensional linear predictive regressions. The consistency of LASSO is contingent upon two key components: the deviation bound of the cross product of the regressors and the error term. Using machine learning and macroeconomic domain expertise, LASSO demonstrates strong performance in forecasting the unemployment rate.

• Ensemble Conformalized Quantile Regression for Probabilistic Time Series Forecasting [4.716034416800441]
  This paper presents a novel probabilistic forecasting method called ensemble conformalized quantile regression (EnCQR) EnCQR constructs distribution-free and approximately marginally valid prediction intervals (PIs), is suitable for nonstationary and heteroscedastic time series data, and can be applied on top of any forecasting model. The results demonstrate that EnCQR outperforms models based only on quantile regression or conformal prediction, and it provides sharper, more informative, and valid PIs.

  We propose a three-stage framework for forecasting high-dimensional time-series data. Our framework is highly general, allowing for any time-series forecasting and clustering method to be used in each step. When instantiated with simple linear autoregressive models, we are able to achieve state-of-the-art results on several benchmark datasets.

THP outperforms existing models in terms of both likelihood and event prediction accuracy by a notable margin. We provide a concrete example, where THP achieves improved prediction performance for learning multiple point processes when incorporating their relational information.
