midasml

midasml - Estimation and Prediction Methods for High-Dimensional Mixed Frequency Time Series and Panel Data

About

The midasml package implements estimation and prediction methods for high-dimensional mixed-frequency (MIDAS) time-series and panel data regression models. The regularized MIDAS models are estimated using orthogonal (e.g. Legendre) polynomials and sparse-group LASSO estimator. For more information on the midasml approach see 123.

The package is equipped with the fast implementation of the sparse-group LASSO estimator by means of proximal block coordinate descent. High-dimensional mixed frequency time-series data can also be easily manipulated with functions provided in the package.

Software in other languages

  • Julia implmentation of the midasml method is available here.
  • MATLAB implmentation of the midasml method is available here.
  • Python implmentation of the midasml method is being developed at here.
