Abstract
En 中文
Traffic collision data are always collected in irregularly spaced and mixed frequency. Conventional treatment on these kinds of data, for instance, aggregating the high-frequency data into the lower frequency, can lead to the loss of relevant information of high-frequency data, and introduce potential temporal instabilities. A novel Bayesian vector autoregression approach is proposed to address this problem. An unevenly-spaced traffic collision data with missing values, containing all collisions in different severities that occurred on the state highways in Washington State from January 2006 to December 2016, is selected in this study the impacts of transportation-, weather- and socioeconomic-related characteristics on traffic collisions. A Gibbs sampler is used to conduct Bayesian inference for model parameters and unobserved high-frequency variables. Results show that the model has a fairly superior fit accuracy, and is able to capture the unobserved heterogeneity in the dataset. The proposed VAR also demonstrates better performance than other missing value imputation techniques, including linear regression, predictive mean matching, k-nearest neighbors, and random forests. This study provides potential in the guidance of model construction that considers the mixed-time-series nature of data.
