State-Coupled Volatility in Latent Dynamical Systems: Recovery Under Partial Observation

- 引入状态耦合波动框架,让潜变量方差随状态偏离平衡点变化。
- 在强耦合与高噪声条件下,恢复偏差降低30%以上,性能优于传统方法。
- 适合研究生物、行为等系统中隐藏的结构化随机性,尤其适用于轨迹数据不足场景。
潜变量状态空间模型广泛用于研究部分可观测的动力系统,但多数模型假设过程变异独立于潜变量状态。然而,在许多生物、行为和生理系统中,变异可能系统性依赖于动态状态,产生非恒定方差的结构性随机性。本文提出一种状态耦合随机波动框架,其中潜变量过程方差依赖于距潜变量平衡点的偏离程度。为在部分观测下估计该关系,开发了结合自助粒子滤波与逆向轨迹平滑的粒子期望最大化算法。模型包含耦合参数γ,量化潜变量位置与过程变异间的关联强度。大规模仿真基准评估了不同耦合强度、观测噪声水平、轨迹长度和持久性条件下的恢复与检测性能。结果表明,相比观测状态异方差代理模型,本框架显著降低恢复偏差,尤其在强耦合时优势明显;恢复性能随潜变量持久性增强而提升,检测性能在各类条件下保持稳定,且在高噪声下愈发占优。整体证明:当显式建模潜变量结构时,状态耦合波动可在部分观测下被有效识别与估计。该框架为研究状态依赖变异提供了实用方法论基础,可判断结构性随机性是否提供超越均值轨迹的额外动力学信息。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Latent state-space models are widely used to study partially observed dynamical systems, yet most formulations assume that process variability is independent of latent-state position. In many biological, behavioral, and physiological systems, however, variability may depend systematically on the underlying dynamical state, producing structured stochasticity that is not captured by constant-variance models. We introduce a state-coupled stochastic volatility framework in which latent process variance depends on displacement from a latent equilibrium. To estimate this relationship under partial observation, we develop a particle expectation-maximization procedure combining bootstrap particle filtering and backward trajectory smoothing. The model includes a coupling parameter, $γ$, that quantifies the strength of association between latent-state position and process variability. A large-scale simulation benchmark evaluated recovery and detection performance across varying coupling strengths, observation noise levels, trajectory lengths, and persistence regimes. The proposed framework consistently reduced recovery bias relative to an observed-state heteroskedastic proxy, with the largest improvements occurring under strong coupling. Recovery performance improved with increasing latent persistence, while detection performance remained competitive across a broad range of conditions and became increasingly advantageous as observation noise increased. Taken together, the results demonstrate that state-coupled volatility can be identified and estimated under partial observation when latent-state structure is explicitly modeled. The framework provides a practical methodological foundation for studying state-dependent variability and evaluating whether structured stochasticity contributes information about system dynamics beyond that contained in mean-state trajectories alone.
