New DTW Windows Type for Forward- and Backward-Lookingness Examination. Application for Inflation Expectation

Abstract

This study provides an application of dynamic time warping algorithm with a new window constraint to assess consumer expectations’ information content regarding current and future inflation. Our study’s contribution is the novel application of DTW for testing expectations’ forward-lookingness. Additionally, we modify the algorithm to adjust it for a specific question on the information content of our data. The DTW overcomes constraints of the standard tool that examines forward-lookingness: DTW does not impose assumptions on time series properties. In empirical study we cover seven European counties and compare the DTW outcomes with the results of previous studies in these economies using a standard methodology. The research period covers 2001 to mid-2018. Application of DTW provides information on the degree of expectations’ forward-lookingness. The result, after standardization, are similar to the standard parameters of hybrid specification of expectations. Moreover, the rankings of most forward-looking consumers are replicated. Our results confirm the economic intuition, and they do not contradict previous studies.

A Pulmonary Nodule Spiculation Recognition Algorithm Based on Generative Adversarial Networks

“…The sequence is compared with the trained data in the database to determine whether it is the spiculation. The DTW distance of dynamic programming is introduced based on the scalability of time series to measure the degree of data similarity [27].…”

“…SVM [4] algorithm is adopted to build linear classifiers for classification. DTW [27] algorithm uses the sequence correlation to set thresholds to achieve classification. CNN [10] algorithm is adopted to build a convolutional neural network for developing the correlation between pixel value and target and realize classification.…”

“…However, the most common one is setting a window for warping, restricting the path to the diagonal region. Different structures of warping windows are proposed in [17] and dynamic time window strategy is presented in [18].…”

“…In this study, we used extension for this algorithm that is proposed in [25] to check if one time series is forward or backward against the other. We calculated separate DTW distances with windows proposed in [25], finding an optimal path only in the upper triangular cost matrix, within different but always forward shift (called further forward distance d f ), and in the lower triangular cost matrix, within backward shift (d b ).…”
