High-dimensional censored MIDAS logistic regression for corporate survival forecasting

Read the original on arXiv Statistics ML →

The paper introduces a high‑dimensional censored MIDAS logistic regression for forecasting corporate distress, addressing right censoring, high‑dimensional mixed‑frequency predictors, and mixed‑frequency data. It uses inverse probability weighting for censoring, a sparse‑group penalty for estimation, and develops a de‑sparsified estimator with asymptotic theory that accounts for censoring and heavy tails. The method is validated via Monte Carlo simulations and applied to Chinese‑listed firms, with implementation available in the R package Survivalml.

Proper Scoring Rules for Right-Censored Survival Data

Proper scoring rules provide a rigorous theoretical basis for the training and evaluation of probabilistic forecasts. However, in the presence of right censoring, the event time is only partially observed, rendering conventional scoring rules inapplicable in their standard form.

When Are Scoring Rules Proper? Bridging Theory and Practice in Survival Model Evaluation

arXiv:2212. 05260v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Proper scoring rules encourage probabilistic predictions that match the true underlying distribution and are central to model evaluation, with increasing relevance in automated workflows such as AutoML.
