This paper deals with the dimension reduction for high-dimensional time series based on common factors. In particular we allow the dimension of time series $p$ to be as large as, or even larger than, the sample size $n$. The estimation for the factor loading matrix and the factor process itself is carried out via an eigenanalysis for a $ptimes p$ non-negative definite matrix. We show that when all the factors are strong in the sense that the norm of each column in the factor loading matrix is of the order $p^{1/2}$, the estimator for the factor loading matrix, as well as the resulting estimator for the precision matrix of the original $p$-variant time series, are weakly consistent in $L_2$-norm with the convergence rates independent of $p$. This result exhibits clearly that the `curse is canceled out by the `blessings in dimensionality. We also establish the asymptotic properties of the estimation when not all factors are strong. For the latter case, a two-step estimation procedure is preferred accordingly to the asymptotic theory. The proposed methods together with their asymptotic properties are further illustrated in a simulation study. An application to a real data set is also reported.

We propose a new unsupervised learning method for clustering a large number of time series based on a latent factor structure. Each cluster is characterized by its own cluster-specific factors in addition to some common factors which impact on all th
e time series concerned. Our setting also offers the flexibility that some time series may not belong to any clusters. The consistency with explicit convergence rates is established for the estimation of the common factors, the cluster-specific factors, the latent clusters. Numerical illustration with both simulated data as well as a real data example is also reported. As a spin-off, the proposed new approach also advances significantly the statistical inference for the factor model of Lam and Yao (2012).
We consider high-dimensional measurement errors with high-frequency data. Our focus is on recovering the covariance matrix of the random errors with optimality. In this problem, not all components of the random vector are observed at the same time an
d the measurement errors are latent variables, leading to major challenges besides high data dimensionality. We propose a new covariance matrix estimator in this context with appropriate localization and thresholding. By developing a new technical device integrating the high-frequency data feature with the conventional notion of $alpha$-mixing, our analysis successfully accommodates the challenging serial dependence in the measurement errors. Our theoretical analysis establishes the minimax optimal convergence rates associated with two commonly used loss functions. We then establish cases when the proposed localized estimator with thresholding achieves the minimax optimal convergence rates. Considering that the variances and covariances can be small in reality, we conduct a second-order theoretical analysis that further disentangles the dominating bias in the estimator. A bias-corrected estimator is then proposed to ensure its practical finite sample performance. We illustrate the promising empirical performance of the proposed estimator with extensive simulation studies and a real data analysis.
In this paper, we estimate the high dimensional precision matrix under the weak sparsity condition where many entries are nearly zero. We study a Lasso-type method for high dimensional precision matrix estimation and derive general error bounds under
the weak sparsity condition. The common irrepresentable condition is relaxed and the results are applicable to the weak sparse matrix. As applications, we study the precision matrix estimation for the heavy-tailed data, the non-paranormal data, and the matrix data with the Lasso-type method.
This paper deals with the factor modeling for high-dimensional time series based on a dimension-reduction viewpoint. Under stationary settings, the inference is simple in the sense that both the number of factors and the factor loadings are estimated
in terms of an eigenanalysis for a nonnegative definite matrix, and is therefore applicable when the dimension of time series is on the order of a few thousands. Asymptotic properties of the proposed method are investigated under two settings: (i) the sample size goes to infinity while the dimension of time series is fixed; and (ii) both the sample size and the dimension of time series go to infinity together. In particular, our estimators for zero-eigenvalues enjoy faster convergence (or slower divergence) rates, hence making the estimation for the number of factors easier. In particular, when the sample size and the dimension of time series go to infinity together, the estimators for the eigenvalues are no longer consistent. However, our estimator for the number of the factors, which is based on the ratios of the estimated eigenvalues, still works fine. Furthermore, this estimation shows the so-called blessing of dimensionality property in the sense that the performance of the estimation may improve when the dimension of time series increases. A two-step procedure is investigated when the factors are of different degrees of strength. Numerical illustration with both simulated and real data is also reported.
We consider the problem of constructing nonparametric undirected graphical models for high-dimensional functional data. Most existing statistical methods in this context assume either a Gaussian distribution on the vertices or linear conditional mean
s. In this article we provide a more flexible model which relaxes the linearity assumption by replacing it by an arbitrary additive form. The use of functional principal components offers an estimation strategy that uses a group lasso penalty to estimate the relevant edges of the graph. We establish statistical guarantees for the resulting estimators, which can be used to prove consistency if the dimension and the number of functional principal components diverge to infinity with the sample size. We also investigate the empirical performance of our method through simulation studies and a real data application.
