你好!我一直比较困惑的是对这么多时间序列最后的描述统计量的形式:如果按照每个时间序列,则描述的是 ...
Hi,
Thanks for your correction, and I am sorry that that I was misunderstanding with your question before. But now my question arises, why do you need to give a kind of "descriptive" statistics about so many series at one time, and that should also makes the others so easily to understand, and assume that they don't need a formula or further inference to help understanding. For instance, if we have a series of 800 funds, I think it is really hard to give a such "descriptive" statistics that can pool information together based on all, or maybe it's not a good idea to pool them together just because we want to describe it shortly, or maybe you are refering to the stock index (Dow Jones) or the economic index, or dynamic factors..., if you create such an index as you metioned (Actually I am really looking forward to it :)), people may need instructions to understand your index, and to know how your index describes the series.
Anyway, it is a good question when we face such an "embrassment of riches". If I were you, I may try to think something that is "representative", like Top 5, top 10 series, then to say something "descriptive"; or even better, if I know how the series can be grouped or blocked, like I get the data from different sections of economy, or a block of parameters (L=(l1,l2,....)'), then I will pick up one or some out and describe with usual statistics.
