Sequential Estimation and Control of Time-Varying Unit Root Processes with an Application to S&P Stock Price
2012
Sequential Analysis
The optimal trading policy then coincides with the early detection of turning points in financial time series, i.e. the periods where the phases of expansion and recession begin. ...
There were also important effects on the real side of economy, with the beginning of a downward phase for the business cycle. ...
In econometrics, the identification of turning points usually proceeds by smoothing series with nonparametric filters and then applying the trend-cycle decomposition (e.g., Canova 2007) . ...

Nonparametric Profile Monitoring by Mixed Effects Modeling
2010
Technometrics
Profile monitoring is for checking the stability of this relationship over time. ...
In some applications, the quality of a process is characterized by the functional relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables. ...
On the other hand, other smoothing techniques such as the smoothing spline analysis of variance (ANOVA) models in Gu (2002) can handle multivariate estimation more conveniently. ...

Boosting techniques for nonlinear time series models
2011
AStA Advances in Statistical Analysis
The NAAR model estimates the lags of a time series as flexible functions in order to detect nonmonotone relationships between current observations and past values. ...
Thus, with the application of boosting for fitting potentially nonlinear models we address the major issues in time series modelling: lag selection and nonlinearity. ...

Modelling the dynamic pattern of surface area in basketball and its effects on team performance
2018
Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports (JQAS)
Using a time series of basketball players' coordinates, we focus on the dynamics of the surface area of the five players on the court with a two-fold purpose: (i) to give tools allowing a detailed description ...
Specifically, we first employ a Markov Switching Model (MSM) to detect structural changes in the surface area. ...
It implies that the number of degradation processes in the system increases the speed of deterioration of the system. ...

An environmental epigenetic study ofADRB25′-UTR methylation and childhood asthma severity
2012
Clinical and Experimental Allergy
Methods-We compared ADRB2 5'-UTR methylation levels in blood between 60 children with mild asthma and 122 children with severe asthma using methylation-specific PCR. ...
Conclusions and Clinical Relevance-These findings support the potential use of ADRB2 5'-UTR methylation as a biomarker of both asthma severity and risk for NO 2 -associated asthma exacerbations in children ...
Furthermore, studies of the effect of the use of the short-acting β 2 -agonist albuterol as monotherapy have shown that asthma control may deteriorate over time with regular use as opposed to intermittent ...

Its main output, Generalized Time-Varying Parameters (GTVPs), is a versatile device nesting many popular nonlinearities (threshold/switching, smooth transition, structural breaks/change) and allowing for ...
For instance, the successful unemployment forecast is due to the influence of forward-looking variables (e.g., term spreads, housing starts) nearly doubling before every recession. ...

Forecasting industrial production and the early detection of turning points
2004
Empirical Economics
We show how the use of these forecasts can improve the estimate of a cyclical indicator and the early detection of turning points for the manufacturing sector. ...
In this paper we propose a simple model to forecast industrial production in Italy up to 6 months ahead. ...
This allows us also to improve substantially on the timely detection of turning points in the level of manufacturing activity. We actually think that this is a major result of this paper. ...
