We consider sparse estimation of a class of high-dimensional spatio-temporal models. Unlike classical spatial autoregressive models, we do not rely on a predetermined spatial interaction matrix. Instead, under the assumption of sparsity, we estimate the relationships governing both the spatial and temporal dependence in a fully data-driven way by penalizing a set of Yule-Walker equations. While this regularization can be left unstructured, we also propose a customized form of shrinkage to further exploit diagonally structured forms of sparsity that follow intuitively when observations originate from spatial grids such as satellite images. We derive finite sample error bounds for this estimator, as well estimation consistency in an asymptotic framework wherein the sample size and the number of spatial units diverge jointly. A simulation exercise shows strong finite sample performance compared to competing procedures. As an empirical application, we model satellite measured NO2 concentrations in London. Our approach delivers forecast improvements over a competitive benchmark and we discover evidence for strong spatial interactions between sub-regions.
This paper develops the asymptotic theory of a Fully Modified Generalized Least Squares estimator for multivariate cointegrating polynomial regressions. Such regressions allow for deterministic trends, stochastic trends and integer powers of stochast
This paper introduces structured machine learning regressions for prediction and nowcasting with panel data consisting of series sampled at different frequencies. Motivated by the empirical problem of predicting corporate earnings for a large cross-s
In epidemiological disease mapping one aims to estimate the spatio-temporal pattern in disease risk and identify high-risk clusters, allowing health interventions to be appropriately targeted. Bayesian spatio-temporal models are used to estimate smoo
With the aim of considering models with persistent memory we propose a fractional nonlinear modification of the classical Yule model often studied in the context of macrovolution. Here the model is analyzed and interpreted in the framework of the dev
Dynamic model averaging (DMA) combines the forecasts of a large number of dynamic linear models (DLMs) to predict the future value of a time series. The performance of DMA critically depends on the appropriate choice of two forgetting factors. The fi
