Abstract:We propose a new framework of a neural network-assisted sequential structured simulator to model, estimate, and simulate a wide class of sequentially generated data. Neural networks are integrated into the sequentially structured simulators in order to capture potential nonlinear and complicated sequential structures. Given representative real data, the neural network parameters in the simulator are estimated and calibrated through a Wasserstein training process, without restrictive distributional assumptions.… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
