Assessing the strength of many instruments with the first-stage F and Cragg-Donald statistics

no code implementations28 Feb 2023 Zhenhong Huang, Chen Wang, Jianfeng Yao

As for the Cragg-Donald statistic, we obtain an asymptotically valid correction in the case of two endogenous variables.

A specification test for the strength of instrumental variables

no code implementations28 Feb 2023 Zhenhong Huang, Chen Wang, Jianfeng Yao

This paper develops a new specification test for the instrument weakness when the number of instruments $K_n$ is large with a magnitude comparable to the sample size $n$.

Unified and robust Lagrange multiplier type tests for cross-sectional independence in large panel data models

no code implementations28 Feb 2023 Zhenhong Huang, Zhaoyuan Li, Jianfeng Yao

This paper revisits the Lagrange multiplier type test for the null hypothesis of no cross-sectional dependence in large panel data models.

Multiple Descent in the Multiple Random Feature Model

no code implementations21 Aug 2022 Xuran Meng, Jianfeng Yao, Yuan Cao

Recent works have demonstrated a double descent phenomenon in over-parameterized learning.

Impact of classification difficulty on the weight matrices spectra in Deep Learning and application to early-stopping

no code implementations26 Nov 2021 Xuran Meng, Jianfeng Yao

A main contribution from the paper is that we identify the difficulty of the classification problem as a driving factor for the appearance of heavy tail in weight matrices spectra.

Extension of the Lagrange multiplier test for error cross-section independence to large panels with non normal errors

no code implementations10 Mar 2021 Zhaoyuan Li, Jianfeng Yao

This paper reexamines the seminal Lagrange multiplier test for cross-section independence in a large panel model where both the number of cross-sectional units n and the number of time series observations T can be large.

Ratio-consistent estimation for long range dependent Toeplitz covariance with application to matrix data whitening

no code implementations3 Jun 2020 Peng Tian, Jianfeng Yao

We consider a data matrix $X:=C_N^{1/2}ZR_M^{1/2}$ from a multivariate stationary process with a separable covariance function, where $C_N$ is a $N\times N$ positive semi-definite matrix, $Z$ a $N\times M$ random matrix of uncorrelated standardized white noise, and $R_M$ a $M\times M$ Toeplitz matrix.
