提出两种实时监测程序(波动监测和CUSUM监测),用于在新增数据时检测结构性变化,解决了传统一次性检验无法用于实时监测的问题。

Abstract

Contemporary tests for structural change deal with detections of the one-shot type: given an historical data set of fixed size, these tests are designed to detect a structural break within the data set. Due to the law of the iterated logarithm, one-shot tests cannot be applied to monitor out-of-sample stability each time new data arrive without signalling a nonexistent break with probability one. We propose and analyze two real-time monitoring procedures with controlled size asymptotically: the fluctuation and CUSUM monitoring procedures. We extend an invariance principle in the sequential testing literature to obtain our results. Simulation results show that the proposed monitoring procedures indeed have controlled asymptotic size. Detection timing depends on the magnitude of parameter change, the signal to noise ratio, and the location of the out-of-sample break point.
