New Optimal Transport Method Validates Time-Series Model Drift

A new paper introduces structure-aware optimal transport diagnostics for evaluating time-series data compatibility with predictable-drift classes. The method translates stochastic process properties into a projection problem, using moment constraints and a Kullback--Leibler projection gap to quantify deviations. This approach can differentiate process classes that are otherwise indistinguishable by second-order statistics alone, offering a principled and scalable tool for structure-aware model validation of sequential data.

    Drift-admissibility via Optimal Transport

    arXiv:2611.08505v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We introduce structure-aware optimal transport diagnostics for assessing whether empirical time-series dynamics are compatible with a prescribed predictable-drift class. Our approach translates a pathwise property of stochastic proc…
