Post-Estimation Smoothing: A Simple Baseline for Learning with Side Information [article]

Esther Rolf, Michael I. Jordan, Benjamin Recht
2020 arXiv   pre-print
We propose a post-estimation smoothing operator as a fast and effective method for incorporating structural index data into prediction.  ...  Our theoretical analysis details simple conditions under which post-estimation smoothing will improve accuracy over that of the original predictor.  ...  We also thank the authors of [21] , and in particular Jason Zhang, for their support in replicating their pose estimation predictions.  ...

Excess Dividend Smoothing

Yufeng Wu
2014 Social Science Research Network  
Empirical estimates of the model parameters imply that 38% of observed dividend smoothness is turnover-induced.  ...  I study the effect of this channel by developing a dynamic agency model in which dividends signal the firm's persistent earnings. In equilibrium, dividends and earnings are informational substitutes.  ...  Table 10 suggests that a model with asymmetric learning speed generates parameter estimates very similar to the baseline case; the results show only a slightly higher degree of excess dividend smoothing  ...

Reinforcement effects in anticipatory smooth eye movements

Jean-Bernard Damasse, Laurent U. Perrinet, Laurent Madelain, Anna Montagnini
2018 Journal of Vision  
A monetary reward was associated to a criterion-matching anticipatory velocity as estimated online during the gap before target motion onset.  ...  When predictive information about target motion is available, anticipatory smooth pursuit eye movements (aSPEM) are consistently generated before target appearance, thereby reducing the typical sensorimotor  ...  We thank Jeremie Jozefowiez for commenting on an earlier version of the manuscript.  ...

ContactNets: Learning Discontinuous Contact Dynamics with Smooth, Implicit Representations [article]

Samuel Pfrommer and Mathew Halm and Michael Posa
2020 arXiv   pre-print
In this work, we resolve this conflict with a smooth, implicit encoding of the structure inherent to contact-induced discontinuities.  ...  We furthermore circumvent the need to differentiate through stiff or non-smooth dynamics with a novel loss function inspired by the principles of complementarity and maximum dissipation.  ...  For a range of data sizes, both ContactNets methods outperform the End-to-end baseline in positional and rotational accuracy, most strikingly for rotational error with ample training data.  ...

Smoothing volatility targeting [article]

Mauro Bernardi and Daniele Bianchi and Nicolas Bianco
2022 arXiv   pre-print
Specifically, we develop a novel variational Bayes estimation method that flexibly encompasses different smoothness assumptions irrespective of the persistence of the underlying latent state.  ...  Using a large set of equity trading strategies, we show that smoothing volatility targeting helps to regularise the extreme leverage/turnover that results from commonly used realised variance estimates  ...  Compared to the baseline VB, the smooth approximations have a lower accuracy in the estimate of the underlying AR(1) latent process.  ...
