On Selecting Stable Predictors in Time Series Models
We extend the feature selection methodology to dependent data and propose a novel time series predictor selection scheme that accommodates statistical dependence in a more typical i.i.d sub-sampling based framework. Furthermore, the machinery of mixing stationary processes allows us to quantify the improvements of our approach over any base predictor selection method (such as lasso) even in a finite sample setting. Using the lasso as a base procedure we demonstrate the applicability of our methods to simulated and several real time series datasets.
