Neural Network-Based Estimation of Time-Dependent Parameters in AR(p) Processes

We investigate a forecasting framework based on a simple discrete-time dynamic model with coefficients varying in time. The parameters of the model are recovered within a deep learning framework, which makes it possible to retain a transparent parametric structure while simultaneously accounting for complex and nonstationary patterns in the observed phenomenon.

A Time-Aware Bag-of-Receptive-Fields for Interpretable Irregular Time Series Classification

The paper introduces a Time-Aware Bag-of-Receptive-Fields (BORF) for classifying irregular time series, extending the original BORF to handle non-uniform sampling, missing data, and variable lengths. It adds a time-weighted normalization that weights observations by their time deltas, enabling pattern extraction that reflects the true temporal distribution. The method maintains linear time complexity and is evaluated against state‑of‑the‑art irregular time‑series classifiers, achieving competitive performance while providing human‑interpretable explanations.

Neural composite likelihood estimation: simulation based inference for time series

Neural Composite Likelihood Estimation (NCLE) extends simulation‑based inference to high‑dimensional time series by partitioning long sequences into equal‑sized batches. For each batch, a neural network estimates the likelihood via conditional density estimation, and the product of these batch likelihoods forms an approximate composite likelihood. Frequentist inference is then performed by maximizing this composite likelihood to obtain a point estimate and by estimating the Godambe information matrix to derive confidence intervals.
