摘要:Parameters of differential equations are essential to characterize the intrinsic behaviors of dynamic systems. Many scientific challenges are hindered by a lack of computational and statistical efficiency in parameter estimation of dynamic systems, especially for complex systems with general-order differential operators, such as motion dynamics. Aiming at discovering these dynamic systems behind noisy data, we develop a computationally tractable and statistically efficient two-step method called Green’s matching via estimating equations. Particularly, we avoid time-consuming numerical integration by the pre-smoothing of trajectories in the estimating equations, and the pre-smoothing of curve derivatives is generally not involved in the estimating equations due to the inversion of differential operators by Green’s functions. These appealing features improve both computational and statistical efficiency for parameter estimation. We prove that Green’s matching attains statistically optimal convergence for general-order systems. While for the other two widely used two-step methods, their estimation biases may dominate the estimation errors, resulting in poor convergence rates for high-order systems. We conduct extensive simulations to examine the estimation behaviors of two-step methods and other competitive approaches. Our results show that Green’s matching outperforms other methods for parameter estimation, which also supports Green’s matching in more complicated statistical inferences, such as equation discovery or causal network inference, for general-order dynamic systems.
